Enhancing Your Wedding or Special Event!

Now that we talked about how to plan your special Wedding keep in mind that most of these details can apply for any Special Event you plan.  Now let's talk about enhancing your Wedding or Special Event to get the Wow factor.  You can start by creating a website for your event.  This way you can have people keep your invitees informed.   The website should be created for just that special event. As you send out emails you need to include your special website.  Of course Facebook is a great source for informing your guest however; sometimes it can be shared with people you did not invite.  Especially if you are trying to keep with a tight budget.  Also when sending out email send email  upbeat and cheerful emails.  Include a nice picture of flowers, balloons or the a picture of the venue or the beach or even surrounding places.  If your guest are coming from out of town they may want to stay a little longer and explore the area.  Make it interesting to keep your invitees interested in your special event.  You can even include a nice clean joke to get a little smile or even a poem.  You can also ask in your email if anyone has allergies this way you will know ahead of time and you can inform your caterer.   Also create a gift registry so that your invitees will have an idea of what you need.   Make your guest gift something unique that they can use.  I remember a wedding that I went to and the couple gave the guest a wine bottle stopper with their initials on it.  This was unique because to this day I use it and I always think of them and how this was a great gift.  You can even do this without the initials for cost effectiveness.    When you send out your invitations another suggestion would be to include a bookmaker that have your event date on it.  This way your guest can keep it in a book that they are reading and it is also a keepsake as well as a reminder of your big day.   On your wedding day and at your reception you always have a song for the bride and groom to dance off, well what about announcing a special song for your guest and getting the DJ to say this song is dedicated to all the guest today for attending dedicated from the Mr. & Mrs.........  This a small gesture but it can go a long way.  You make your guest feel special along with yourself.  This gives the guest something to talk about and how that was a nice touch to your wedding.
In order to get the Wow effect you have to think outside the box.  A lot of times it does not cost much to give that Wow effect.  Preparation is everything; plan, prepare and execute.  Well I hope these few tips will help you to move forward with your Wedding or Special Event.  If you would like more specifics on any subject please email me@ and.andersonenterprise@gmail.com.  Here is also a link to make a little cash for some of  your small items you need to purchase.

PLANNING YOUR WEDDING!

Planning a wedding can be very stressful however it can also be fun.   I am going to give you a few tips on how to make your wedding planning fun and stress free.  When you know you have a date to work with try to get 1 year head start.  It is a great idea to hire a Wedding Planner because they do all the work for you while soliciting your dreams and expectations.  However; if it is not in your budget then you must start early to eliminate the stress of planning a wedding.  First you must find a venue for your date.  Make sure your wedding date is firm because this is where you can loose money for changing dates and worst you may not be able to get the date you want if you do not reserve early.  Venue's especially hotels are booked very early on.  So this is the time to book your ceremony and reception venue.  Second you want to look into a Caterer.  This is your second largest cost besides your venue.  So you want to make sure you have a good Caterer and also be able to sample some of the food you want at your wedding reception.  The Caterer can also make your wedding cake unless you have a unique cake designer.  Now that your main two items are out of the way and secure you are ready to move to your third step the Photographer and your DJ.  If you are having your wedding in months May - October it is very important to follow these steps.  These are the busiest times of the year when most people want to get married due to the weather.  Now you are ready to start selecting your invitations, limousine company, flower selections and decorations for both the Ceremony and the Reception.  What I have given you is a place to start so that you do not overwhelm yourself.   There are other ways to make your planning easier as well.  If you would like more details, please Tweet me at Voila2u or respond to my blog.  I enjoy helping brides and grooms have their dream day!  I also have a few good recipe ideas for your reception.  Until next time I am Voila2u...................
