Food

Instead of getting an expensive wedding caterer, a practical wedding idea would be to try making the food yourself, with the help of your friends and family. You can consult with your fiancé, along with some relatives as you come up with your wedding menu. You could then look for some places that sell the ingredients at wholesale prices. You can get information on places like these online or just by looking in your phone book. A practical wedding idea would be to cook the food a day before the wedding and then just have them reheated at the reception.

By coming up with a great menu of delectable dishes, no one might even notice that the food was not cooked by a professional caterer. You would also be able to serve more food at a fraction of the cost. You would just have to be creative so that the presentation of the dishes would complement your wedding theme as well.

Flowers

If you are planning to get married in the next year or so and you want a lot of flowers on your wedding day, but do not want to spend too much, you can start early on and plant your own flowering plants. This would particularly be a great wedding idea if you or a relative has a lot of gardening space at home, then you can plant some flowering plants that would be in bloom around the time of your wedding. You could then make use of the flowers that you would be harvesting for the décor, the bouquets, the boutonnieres as well as the centerpieces. Since you would surely have a lot of flowers of your choice at your disposal, a great wedding idea would be to fill the venue for the ceremony and the reception with lots of flowers. However, if you do have to order flowers, a wedding idea that you might want to consider would be to choose those that are in-season. By choosing in-season flowers, you would not only be able to save on flower arrangement costs, but you would also be sure that all the flowers would fresh and readily available, compared to flowers that are not in-season. These flowers might have to be imported, making them more expensive, not to mention that there is always the risk that they might not arrive in good condition after being shipped or transported.

Photography

Another creative wedding idea for your wedding photography would be to enlist a relative or a friend that has some experience on taking pictures. Just make sure that that person would be able to take pictures well since you would not be able to go back in time to have pictures re-taken.

If you do not have any friend or relative who would be able to take great pictures, then you could still have a professional photographer do the picture-taking. You could just ask him if he would be gracious enough to loan you the negatives which you can have printed yourself. This wedding idea would definitely let you save a lot of money. You can also ask the photographer if he or she is offering any discounted packages or basic photography packages.

These are just some of the creative wedding ideas which you could use to save on the wedding. Just keep in mind that if you would be able to save money while having a beautiful and unforgettable wedding, you would have more to spend on the honeymoon or for your future life as a married couple.

Many of these couples are willing to sacrifice anything and everything, even if means losing their family to get married and they are not willing to listen to reason from anyone. It is almost as if they have decided that they know what is best, their family members are ignorant and can’t possibly know what is in their best interest, and will turn their backs on everyone who loves them just to prove that they are adults and can do whatever they want whenever they want. Unfortunately, in most of those cases, the young marriage ends in divorce and the family members are left to pick up the pieces while trying not to say “I told you so”.

There are some warning signs to look for when deciding whether to get married or not get married. The main things to look at are your age, maturity level, and level of commitment you are willing to make in attempts to make this marriage work. It has been proven that almost 90 percent of teenage or young adult marriage will end in divorce. If the young woman or man you are getting ready to marry still acts like a big child and you end up spending most of your time acting as the mother or father figure, then most likely this marriage will be in trouble before it begins. If the person you are getting ready to marry has a track record of getting in and out of numerous relationships in a short amount of time, then this also means that they might have a problem making a lifelong commitment to you and your marriage might very well end in divorce.

It is very important that you and the person you are getting ready to marry sit down with a pastor or counselor and discuss the pros and cons of marriage, the type of hard work and commitment it will take to make the marriage work, and the fact that you both might not be ready to enter into the type of commitment that it will take to keep this marriage alive and well. You need to discuss why you want to get married right away rather than wait until after college, or at least discuss the possibility of being engaged for a year or more to give you enough time to decide whether you both are ready to get married. Both of you have to decide together whether to go ahead with the wedding or call it off.

Some people may wonder why they should use disposable wedding camera when the guests may bring their own digital cameras. Although more people are using digital camera these day, I personally will suggest that you prepare some disposable cameras. It will be very difficult for you to collect the pictures your guests take if they are using their own digital products to take the photos. It will be very strange if you try to ask all the guests to give you their SD cards before they leave the reception hall.

You may wonder how you should choose the cameras. It is not difficult for you to do so. You can consider some practical aspects and this will help you to make the decision easily.

Tips For Your Disposable Wedding Camera

1. Film Speed

When you purchase the disposable wedding cameras, you need to consider the film speed. It will be a better idea for you to get a camera with ISO 400, or even 800 speed film. It will work well for most situations. Unless you are going to have a lunch reception in an outdoor area, you should go for the idea of ISO 400 or 800 speed film.

2. Flash

Again, you will need flash unless you are going to have an outdoor wedding reception in the day time. Usually, a disposable wedding camera will come with a flash. Yet, it is still a good idea for you to take a look at that before you purchase.

3. Casing

There are a lot of disposable wedding cameras with a paper casing. Yet, this is not your only option. There are also cameras with plastic or even metal casing. Of course they will be more expensive. However, a drawback of paper casing is that it will never be water proof. You have to consider this point when you make your choice.

6. Reusable or not

In most cases, disposable wedding cameras are meant to be used once only. However, there are still choices if you do not really want to use it for one time only. There are some reusable choices. You should take a look at them.

7. Exposures or number of pictures

Usually, there are two choices. There are cameras for 15 exposures. On the other hand, there are also some for 27 exposures. Of course the prices of them will be different. However, the option of 27 exposures will usually be preferred since it is not hard for the guests to take 27 pictures during your reception.

8. Black and white or color

You will probably know that you can choose between black and white and color films. Yet, color films are always preferred. Black and while films are more expensive. It is more expensive to develop these films too. Besides, it requires more techniques to take good black and white photos. Your guests may not be able to handle it. You can always change the colors of the pictures to black and white using photo editing software after you scan the pictures on the computer.

9. Expiry dates of the films

When you purchase a disposable wedding camera, it is always essential for you to check the expiry dates of the films. Of course you can still use the cameras even after the expiry date. Yet, the quality of the pictures will be affected. So, be sure that the expiry date is sooner than your big day.

10. Number of cameras

One of the most difficult decisions when purchasing is certainly the quantity. Of course the quantity will be related to the size of your reception dinner. Most couples will purchase one camera for each reception table. If you do not want to purchase so many, you may also get a table for the cameras only and put a few on it. Be sure to ask the guests to put it back to the table after they have taken the pictures.

The above are all the essential ideas you have to know before you purchase your disposable wedding cameras. So, be sure to get them early so that you can make sure that your guests can help you to capture all the interesting and sweet moments in your wedding!

Before getting married, have you had a sufficient amount of time to observe the interaction between your fiancé and his or her family? Have you listened to the way he or she talks about the family, whether it is in a loving manner or a disrespectful manner? Is your fiancé dependent on mommy and daddy for everything including balancing the checkbook? There is an old saying that states if you want to know how your fiancé will treat you once you are married, watch the way he or she treats his or her family, especially the parents.
Do you see your in-laws as being nosy, pushy, and controlling? Are they always sticking their noses into your new life together as a married couple and trying to make decisions regarding most aspects of your lives? Do you see them as constantly overstepping their bounds and even trying to dictate to you how you should and should not raise your own children?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions then it is definitely time for you and your fiancé or spouse to sit down and have a very serious conversation about what to do when the in-laws start overstepping their bounds. First, let me make one thing very clear. DO NOT ever try reasoning with your spouse’s parents on your own. It is always best if you fiancé/spouse deal with their parents and you deal with yours, and each of you support the other.

As a couple you need to set some very clear and straightforward guidelines where the in-laws are concerned. Let them know what you will and will not tolerate from them. You might try explaining to them that the two of you want the chance to try and make a life of your own separate from the life you had with them. You can further explain that if you run into a problem that the two of you can’t figure out together, you will ask them for help or advice, but you don’t want them to offer help or advice until you have asked for it.

Let me show you what I mean.

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue”, is an old saying that dates back to the Victorian era. The “something old” represents the bond to the bride’s family and her old life; “something new” represents the couple’s new life together and their future hope for happiness, prosperity and success; “something borrowed” from a happily married woman is meant to impart similar happiness to the bride; and “something blue” represents fidelity and constancy.

Another superstition is the bride wearing a white wedding dress. This supposedly is a sign of virginity and purity, but was also believed to ward off evil spirits. Throwing rice at the newlyweds was felt to bring fertility to the couple. The kiss was felt to help strengthen the couple’s commitment to each other.

There are even wedding superstitions associated with jewelry worn by the bride. It was considered bad luck for the bride to wear pearls on the day of her wedding because pearls were felt to represent future tears, which meant a marriage filled with tears and heartache. There is also a superstition related to dropping the wedding ring during the ceremony. It was said that whoever dropped the wedding ring during the ceremony would be the first person to die.

Did you know that there were also wedding superstitions associated with the weather and the time of day that the wedding ceremony be held? It was said that rain on the day of the wedding was bad luck as it represented the many tears that the bride will cry throughout her marriage life. But, the bride shedding tears on the day of her wedding was seen as good luck, that her tears would bring rain for the crops.

It was also seen as good luck if the exchanging of vows took place as the clock’s minute hand was moving up, such as 3:30 or 3:45. The upward movement of the minute hand was believed to bring blessings as the minute hand moved upwards closer to heaven. It was also considered unlucky if the man you were marrying had the same first letter of his last name as you. There was an old rhyme that went along with this superstition. It was “to change the name and not the letter, means change for the worst and not for the better”.

It might be interesting for you to sit down with your grandmother one day and ask if there were any other superstitions from when she got married that she can share with you.

In Africa there are many different wedding traditions. For example, depending on what region you live in, your wedding might be a one day event or it might last for several days. Also, depending on what region you live in, a typical wedding ceremony will include several couples getting married at the same time. In some regions of Africa, children are allowed to marry as soon as they have reached physical adulthood, usually between the ages of 13 and 15.

In Sudan, during the wedding, it is customary for the bride and the groom to kiss the knees of their parents. This is a symbol of them asking the parents for forgiveness and blessing, and promising to always serve their parents. The Sudan people also have an egg breaking ceremony, also called nincak endog, where the groom is pronounced as the master of his house. During this ceremony, seven broomsticks are burnt and thrown away dramatizing the discarding bad habits which endanger married life.

A traditional Moroccan wedding ceremony lasts four to seven days. It is custom for a Moroccan bride to receive a purification milk bath before receiving a ritual henna painting, or Beberiska, of her hands and feet. Once the couple has said their wedding vows, the bride walks around the outside of her house three times before she can become the mistress of her new home.

Even in America, there are many different wedding traditions. The wedding rings are exchanged, rings with no beginning or end, and this symbolizes an everlasting love. The meaning of the traditional kiss symbolizes the sealing of their union to their families and friends. At the end of the wedding ceremony it is customary to throw rice and the newlyweds as a symbol of fertility.

Different religions have wedding traditions too, such as the Jewish breaking of the glass at the conclusion of the ceremony. The groom (and in some modern ceremonies, the bride as well) smashes a glass with his foot. One interpretation of this is that the marriage will last as long as the glass is broken, forever. Another interpretation is that people need to remember those who are suffering even in their greatest moments of joy, and to remember the destruction of the second temple. After the breaking of the glass, the guests yell, “Mazel Tov!” which means good luck.

I am sure that everyone recognizes the above excerpt as being the traditional wedding vows that you and your fiancé say when getting married. There are a number of variations of the wedding vows, one being the omission of the word obey and another one being replacing the word love with the word cherish.

Today, many people stick to using the traditional wedding vows for their ceremony, but there are also many people who choose to use non traditional vows instead. Some people write their own vows telling each other just how much they love each other, more sentimental vows. Other people recite their favorite poem or excerpt from some other favorite quote to use as their wedding vows. And, some people offer up a short but simple promise to be the best spouse they can be as their wedding vows.

When planning a wedding most people tend to forget about the wedding vows and whether they should be traditional or non traditional. They are much more concerned about decorating the church, picking the perfect music selections, and making sure that everyone is where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to be there. I believe that the wedding vows are probably the most important part of the entire wedding ceremony and more emphasis should be placed on the vows. After all, the wedding vows are the couple’s promise to each other and to their family and friends to love each other no matter what happens in their life. The wedding vows symbolize the strength of the couple’s commitment to making this marriage work.

When you begin to make the plans for your wedding day, the most important day of your life, start by discussing whether you both want the traditional wedding vows or non traditional wedding vows to be a part of your ceremony. If you decide to choose non traditional vows, then you will need to allow plenty of time to decide exactly what each of you wants to say to the other. You will need to decide whether you want to read the vows you write or whether you want to try and memorize them. Writing them down might be the best option because if you choose to memorize them, you might end up forgetting them due to nerves. If you do choose to write them down then you will need to make sure you keep them in a safe place so you won’t lose them and have to try to make up new vows.

If one of you comes from a big family and the other one comes from a small family, or if both of you come from big families, this decision might be a difficult one to make. You will either end up with a huge wedding party so that both sets of siblings can stand up with you, or you will have a small wedding party where you both only have a couple of your siblings stand up with you, and then you risk the rest of your siblings getting their feelings hurt.

Weddings can cost a lot of money even before you start adding in the cost of the tuxes and dresses for the people in your wedding party. You also need to stop and think about just how important it is to the both of you to have a wedding party. Your wedding would be nice even if you each only had one or two people standing up with you.

Typical weddings include the bride and groom paying for the bridesmaids and groomsmen dresses and tuxedos. If your wedding party has four or five bridesmaids and groomsmen, and dresses and tuxedos cost approximately $150 each to rent, you are looking at spending over $1100 just in rental cost, and that doesn’t include the cost of the dress and tuxedo for the flower girl and ring bearer. Are the two of you willing to shell out that kind of money just to be sure that no one gets offended or hurt feelings by not being in the wedding party?

I would say that having two bridesmaids and two groomsmen are the perfect size for any wedding party. There are other wedding duties that the rest of your siblings can be in charge of if they aren’t able to be a part of the wedding party. They can be in charge of the guest book, greeting your guests, seating everyone, and serving during the reception. And, they will still be included in all of the wedding pictures that are taken.

Ultimately, the two of you are going to have to sit down and decide on the size of your wedding party and then stick to that decision whether you decide on a big or small wedding party. This is your day and things should be the way you want it.

For some, involving the stepparents is not a difficult task. It seems that the two sets of parents get along with each other or are at least civil to one another, so involving everyone in your wedding won’t be risky and won’t offend anyone. But there are circumstances where none of the parents, biological or stepparent, can get along at all, they can’t even seem to be in the same room for five minutes without some kind of a disagreement taking place. You might ask how to go about handling a situation such as that one.

I highly suggest that you sit down with both sets of parents and inform them that you would like for all of them to participate in and share in your big day, but that you have some reservations about doing so, and then explain to them what your reservations are and ask if they have any suggestions on how this can be worked out so that all of them can share in your day with you. Do not be afraid to tell them exactly how you expect things to go because this is your special day and not a single part of it should be ruined just because four adults can’t seem to be civil to one another for a few hours for the sake of your happiness.

There are a couple of things that you can do to include them all in your ceremony. One way would be to sit all four of them in the row designated for the parents. Another way would be to take two different sets of wedding pictures, one with the biological family and one with the stepfamily. And, another very important way to include both sets of parents would be to allow both dads to walk their little girl down the aisle, one on each side of her.

The point is, this is your day and nothing should be allowed to ruin it for you. Both sets of parents will have to be adult enough to be civil to each other throughout the wedding and reception. If this is something that they are unwilling or incapable of doing then there is no need for them to show up. It’s your day, remember that.
