If you are running your own wedding rehearsal, and don't have a coordinator there to help you out, here are a few quick things to take note of so that the rehearsal proceeds smoothly, and your wedding party knows what they're doing:

 You've spent a great deal of time and money planning your reception meal, from appetizer to aperitif. You've created a special signature cocktail and given it a cute name that's representative of you and your fiance.

 How many times have you been a member of a wedding party and received the same standard-issue engraved silver bracelet or flask? This planner has heard and witnessed stories of frequent-flying attendants who have jewellery boxes or cupboards full of gifts from various weddings that are rarely, if ever, used or worn. Always the advocate of unique, personal weddings, I also encourage the couples I work with to put some time and effort into selecting gifts for their attendants. After all, between tux rentals, dress purchases, accessories, hair and makeup, gifts for various showers and parties, and travel expenses, these people are shelling out perhaps hundreds of dollars for the honour of being part of your big day. |
