A Few Items You Might Forget in Your Marriage Planning

By: Keith R Lunt

If you are getting married in a little while, then there are a whole stack of tasks that you need to be checking off as your big day gets nearer. Though nothing like a complete collection, here are some of the checks that you may just need to be thinking of.

Remember the date cards
It sounds daft, but will your friends remember the date of your marriage? You will straightforwardly remember it (or should do!), but what round the guests? They also need to make their own arrangements, but are they aware that you are going to be inviting them to your celebrations and even which part of the day you will be inviting them to?

These easy cards tell your guests that you will be inviting them and what time you are expecting them. You will still follow these up with the formal invite, but they are only a easy, friendly note that allows friends to then book their own travel and accommodation plans. Especially convenient for those who need to book time off work or make extended travel preparations.

Book the family rooms!
If your marriage, or the evening part of the reception, is going to be at a hotel then your guests are possible to want to spend the night there if they are not local. As soon as they know the date they are potential to start booking rooms, so make sure that your venue has at the very least reserved rooms for key friends, and these guests know that their rooms are reserved and how to formally book and place a deposit. Ideally, you may like to have a quiet word with the hotel staff and reserve the best potential rooms for these vital guests, for example parents, bridesmaids and ushers.

Find a videographer!
Getting a video, or these days a DVD, of your marriage day is an important reminder of the joys of the day. But there is a world of difference in quality and standard of the professional construction against that of a well meaning guest who has had two or three drinks and does not actually know what they are doing when it comes to editing the final footage.

Do a easy search engine search for local marriage video providers and ask them to show you some of their up to date work. Ideally, ask if they have worked already at the service and reception venues and get them to show you some sample videos shot at these areas. If they might show you that they are familiar with the venues, this means that they stand a far better chance of being able to set up the best and most imaginative shots of your big day.

Think of children
No, not having some of your own! If you are inviting children to your celebrations, and they can add lots of joy, then think of what they will be doing during the day. Only buying a few colouring books and pencils and leaving a set of these on every child's place will help to keep them ample quieter during the meal and the speeches!
