The bride isnt always on the receiving end of gifts. It may seem like a soon-to-be couple gets a lot of gifts but they have to give out many gifts themselves to thank their guests for coming, to thank someone for a special wedding favor and to thank everyone who helped out and was part of the whole planning process. Thank you notes are sent out to everyone who sends the couple a gift and sometimes a gift accompanies the thank you note.Not all the...more

Wedding receptions are a big part of a wedding, its when everyone gets to meet and congratulate the new couple, the bride and groom have their first dance and its usually the first meal they eat together. But wedding receptions arent just about food, although it does account for major reception spending. Surprisingly food is much easier to decide for a wedding reception; whats difficult are things like decorations, music and wedding favors not to mention seating plans.A lot of people are now of the opinion that seating plans arent necessary and people should be allowed to sit wherever they like and that takes a huge amount of planning off the brides shoulders. The major problem of course is still the decorations, particularly the table.What most people concentrate on is what theyre going to put on the table instead of starting out with the table itself. When you go to rent a space for your reception or just the chairs and tables you need to have two things in mind; the number of guests youre having and how many should sit at one table.

Planning a wedding should be fun and while important events are bound to be a little stressful at times, make a list and make sure that the venue is the first thing thats ticked off. There are a lot of options when it comes to picking a type of wedding venue, with everything from hotels, village halls and marquees, to beaches, forests, golf clubs and stately homes, so its important to choose the one that fits your estimated number of guests, your budget and your style and personality.Getting married in the middle of a forest might well be a cheap option but if youre not the countrified type youll likely feel uncomfortable and so will your guests, so instead think about saving up for a more appropriate venue or do a little bit of out of the box thinking. A village hall or British Legion can be transformed into a seriously special venue with a bit of creativity and lots of hands on deck so if you dont want to have a long engagement to save but you do want the best, rope in some friends and family and get thinking, its amazing what some bunting can do!But if its a wedding hotel in London that youre after and thats what youve really set your mind on having, search for luxury family...more
