You can maintain your budget by asking a relative or friend who is qualified to prepare the food. You save more by just spending for the raw materials. Ask for his/her service as a wedding gift instead. Choose buffet or plate meals or to bring your budget down even further, get married earlier for a breakfast reception. Date If the venue is available on your selected date, ask if there's anyone else who's booked the place on the same day. Imagine how disappointed you would feel if there's a convention of noisy salesmen next door. Food Most venues have partnerships with caterers. Look at the menus for the best choice with your budget. Your Favorite Animal or Insect Wedding It would be truly one-of-a-kind if you designed your wedding around your favorite animal or insect. Doves, butterflies and dolphins are beautiful creatures that would add beauty to your wedding set. Give-aways in crystal or ceramics designed as butterflies or dolphins are truly loveable. Now we move to what must be written on the wedding invitation. Here is how you compose the traditional wedding invitation. The first name your guests see on the wedding invitation are the names of the people who will be paying for the event. Most cases, this is the bride s parents. If both the bride and the groom will be paying, then it is their names that appear first on the invitation. The travel company will be working on the details but so those who want someone else to handle it should make sure that these professionals are one of the best in the industry. Most travel companies have a website where engaged couples can make inquiries. It will be a good idea to ask for the names of a few clients in the past to find out how well the firm performed during that event.
