Have a few days off before the wedding

May 31, 2011

If you are getting married in the next month or so, then now is the final push to make sure that you have got everything done.

With all of that preparation behind you and all the stress (and occasional tears) you will want to have a few days at least before the big day to simply relax and look forward to it.

So start thinking through your entire day to make sure that you have fully prepared. Make lists or everything right down to the very last detail and make it your mission to organise absolutely everything at least a week before the wedding.

You deserve a break and to be able to look forward to your wedding, so make sure that you can by getting sorted now.

Don’t forget the wedding breakfast music

May 31, 2011

One thing that a lot of couples leave until the last moment is the music that they want to be played at the sit down meal after the ceremony.

With so much to plan about the food, the guests and the table plan it’s easy to overlook the entertainment. But it’s nice to have something playing in the background for the guests.

Have a think about the style of your wedding and even the sort of food that you’re eating and try to match the music to this. That way, you will create the perfect atmosphere.

Online bingo is an unexpected source of cash for your wedding

May 26, 2011

Planning a wedding is a very expensive business. Even if you want your wedding to be quite a low key affair with a few friends and members of your family present, you still have to expect to fork out a fair amount of money on clothes, food, drink, transport and so on.

If you can find money from a few unexpected places then you might just stand a chance of being able to afford the things you really want for your wedding without being left too out of pocket. One source of extra cash that you might not have thought of is online bingo.

Online bingo at bet365 bingo is good fun. But it’s more than that. It’s a very easy game to play and it offers some serious cash prizes that could go a long way to helping you pay for your wedding. If you want to get your hands on easy money, then it doesn’t come easier than when you play online bingo.

Bet365 bingo is not the only site to offer great promotions. You can find lots more if you do a little bit of research on dedicated up to date bingo news sites like ohmybingo.com. Good luck!

Asking for help with your wedding preparations

May 20, 2011

When you are arranging a wedding, there is so much to do. But you should never be afraid to ask for help from your friends and family.

Usually, your friends and family will be desperate to help out with the wedding preparations, but they just might not know what to do in order to help you. so don’t be afraid to ask your close friends and your family members if they would mind helping with certain aspects of the organisation.

This is particularly a good idea if you have someone that has some expert knowledge; for example, perhaps your sister knows everything about music; in which case, she would be a great help when choosing the entertainment.

Being organised for your wedding

May 17, 2011

I bet you’ve not heard this before, but there really is a lot to organise if you want to get married. Even if you’re thinking of just having a small celebration, the list of tasks is still completely endless.

So the key to ensuring that you don’t get left with last minute stresses, is to ensure that you make lists from day one. Lists can really help you to ensure that you get things done on time. Then when it comes to the big day, everything will be in place and you will be able to relax and simply enjoy your special day.

A personalised calendar makes a great wedding souvenir

November 18, 2010

It might not be the best gift for other people, but personalised calendars can make great wedding souvenirs. Whatever month you’re married, you can have your calendar for the following year and have a year-long reminder of your special day.

You get wedding photographs, but these are tucked away in albums bar a couple of the best photos which you might keep on display. A calendar however, offers a chance for 12 pictures to get an airing for a month each. By the time you get to October, you might have forgotten that particular photograph and it could be a nice surprise.

Of course calendars can be personalised in all sorts of different ways. Family pictures are obviously very popular, but you could have one made of a sports team you play for. It’s very common for sports clubs to have calendars made for charity or to raise funds for new equipment.

Many people have calendars made featuring their pets. If you’re the kind of person who takes hundreds of pictures of your cat or dog, you’ve now got an excuse. You’re making a calendar. Whatever the reason and whatever the subject matter, personalised calendars are far more interesting that readymade ones.

Choosing the perfect venue for your wedding.

February 26, 2010

It can be very difficult choosing the perfect location for the most important day of your life. Therefore when my best friend got married “outside” two years ago it was a welcomed break from tradition for everyone. She loves the countryside having grown up in a remote village, therefore it seemed the perfect setting for the country girl.

It was a lovely little piece of woodland conveniently in the grounds of a gorgeous little Hotel. It turned out that she could only have a blessing outdoors and had attended the registry office earlier that day to be formerly wed, however everyone got in to the spirit of the occasion and it was a wonderful day.

Themed weddings

February 25, 2010

My brother has been engaged for a number of years now, and he always jokes that when he gets married he is going to ask everyone to come in fancy dress! Personally I could not imagine anything more ridiculous for my own wedding, however I can see that it would be a lot of fun for all the guests.

My brother is particularly keen to persuade his other half that the theme of the fancy dress should be “Star Wars” as this is his favourite film! No doubt he is expecting his fiancé to dress like Princess Leia and he will dress as Luke Sky Walker! Even if he is just winding up his other half, it is certainly something that some people do and I am sure there is lots of fun to be had!

It appears that marriage is rapidly going out of fashion

February 19, 2010

Official figures revealed last week that the number of people getting married has hit a new low. Women today are three times less likely to get married than their mothers generation. Less than one in 50 women went through with a wedding in 2008 across England and Wales. The marriage rate was the lowest in a non year war since records were started in 1862.The average first time bride is now 29.9 years old, whilst men who marry for the first time on average, are just over 32 years old. The figures have provoked a fresh debate over why couples are choosing not to marry?

TV wedding of the year to take place this week!

February 15, 2010

The story line of Archies murder has kept us glued to our screens for a number of weeks now. Our attention turns to Bianca Jacksons Wedding to Ricky Butcher this week, and courtesy of her dad, David Wicks the dress is a lot more attractive than the one she wore the first time round!
In the days leading up to the wedding we have seen a number of old faces return to the square to watch the happy couple tie the knot.
Pasty Palmer wears a halterneck gown with diamante flowers on it for the wedding to be shown this week I have seen pictures in magazines and she certainly looks like a princess in preparation for her big day. I am sure she will be hoping all runs smoothly.
