Wedding Wednesday – Out of Price Range

wedding-wednesday

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

I went shopping for a wedding present the other day and wanted to gift off the bride and groom's gift registry. Everything was out of our price range. What do I do?

Answer: 

Only spend as much as you can. Since there's nothing on their registry within your price range just get a gift card. That's the easiest solution.

Wedding Wednesday – Wedding Rehearsal Seating

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

Do both sides of the family host bridal showers and the bridesmaids?

Answer: 

Neither sides of the family needs to host a bridal shower. Normally, etiquette prefers members of the bridal party or non family members host showers. If one side of the family insists of hosting a bridal shower, that's their decision and hopefully they'll invite the other side to the shower as well.

Wedding Wednesday – One Year Anniversary Party

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

My husband and I had a small wedding ceremony 6 months ago with no reception. Would it be tacky if we hosted a one year anniversary party for those who felt left out?

Answer:

That sounds like a fun idea. You can easily host a brunch, reception or a small get together. Keep it simple but don't skimp out on the details of what would have been at your wedding reception.

Wedding Wednesday – Vow Renewal

Your Wedding Wednesday Question: 

We're planning a vow renewal and I would like to include the entire family. How should I do this?

Answer:

There are a few ceremonies that can be included in your vow renewal that will include the entire family.

  • Unity Sand Ceremony – Each family member has their own jar of different colored sand and will pour it into a bigger vase. Yes, you normally see this at weddings between the bride and groom but it's easy to include the entire family.
  • Family Unity Candle – Again, you see this during wedding ceremonies between the bride and groom. You can easily add more candles and have the entire family light the main candle at once.

Both of these ceremonies are a great way to include the entire family and make your vow renewal more meaningful.

Wedding Wednesday – Female Wedding Ushers

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

We're including female wedding ushers in our wedding, what should they wear?

Answer: 

When you think about ushers, they are normally dressed similar to groomsmen. Therefore, they can wear what your bridesmaids are wearing and wear a corsage. Or, if it's an informal wedding, they can wear the same color as your bridesmaids.

Wedding Wednesday – Not Taking Photos

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

What's the polite way to ask guests not to take photos during our wedding ceremony?

Answer: 

We may suggest including an enclosure card along with your wedding invitation asking your guests not to take photos during the ceremony. You can state it such as this, "Please respect our wishes when asking our guests not to take photos during the wedding ceremony". You can also display this on a sign before your guests enter asking them to turn off cameras and cell phones. Also, have your family help spread it as well. Just be aware that it could still happen.

Wedding Wednesday – Gifts for Bridesmaids

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

What is the proper etiquette of bridesmaids' gifts?

Answer: 

Normally, you gift your bridesmaids with gifts to show appreciation at the fact that they were there to share your special day with you. As far as price range goes, stick to what's in your budget. It maybe jewelry they can wear with their bridesmaids dress, a robe they can get ready in or a special picture of the two of you. There are many ideas out there, just find the one that is best suited for you and your bridesmaid.

Wedding Wednesday – Dress Code?

Your Wedding Wednesday Question

Is it rude to put "black-tie" on my wedding invitations?

Answer:

Just like you can request gifts on a registry, you can also request a dress code. Keep your guests in mind! Would they own a tux or be willing to rent one? Instead of making them feel like they can't attend your wedding without formal wear, suggest it by phrasing it like this: "black-tie optional." Even if they don't wear a tux, your guests will strive for formal attire. Everyone will be thankful to get a hint on what to wear for your special day, but make sure to make them feel welcome regardless of their attire.
