Pre Wedding Activities

Planning pre-wedding activities is a little something extra that’s not required, but certainly fun and entertaining for the guests. If the bride and groom keep in mind the distance some guests have traveled and keep activities relevant to that level of fatigue, they’re sure to hit on some winning activities.

As you go about planning activities for the wedding, keep in mind other factors as well. Do many people have children with them? Will you provide childcare or will the children be participants in the activities? If you have several guests who are older, perhaps activities can be tailored in a ay they can participate as well.

Some of the more popular pre-wedding activities include things like a group manicure. All the women in the wedding party or ho are close to the bride (and certainly this could include men if they like manicures and want to hang out with the ladies) head to a nail salon and get their nails done. This can be relaxing for many women and provide a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the wedding weekend. The men might choose to golf or play a game of tennis while this is going on.

Many brides and grooms choose to provide structured activities for their guests prior to the wedding. If the wedding is on a Saturday night, for example, they might choose to provide a Friday activity, especially if most guests are local to the wedding. You might have a wedding luau. Many times pre-wedding activities center around bachelor and bachelorette parties, but what about a stag party that includes all the members of the brides and grooms families? You could plan some fun (and appropriate) games and head out to a restaurant for a night of fun and games. Be sure to limit the drinking and carousing as this might not sit well with some family members.

Here is a fun activity that can be done right before the wedding. Have someone begin a gift basket. The theme of the basket is “advice for the couple” and could be started by the best man or maid of honor. They take the basket to someone else’s house, perhaps an aunt or cousin and leave it on the doorstep. That person adds an item (a book on how to end spousal arguments? Or a CD of romantic music?) and brings the basket to someone else’s house. This activity can begin a week or two before the wedding and everyone should know it is coming around.

The basket can also be circulated the weekend of the wedding, but this ill only work if everyone is local and if they know the basket is coming. In this case, it also might be helpful to have someone bring the basket to a house, collect the item and the take the basket to the next location, reducing the need to have each person take the basket to its next location. Once it’s full, someone can be in charge of putting the basket items together, wrapping it all up to make it look nice and bringing it to the bride and groom. It can be delivered right to the wedding as a gift in and of itself.

Whatever activities you choose, be sure to keep in mind the needs of your guests and the limitations of those guests. If you want to plan an activity that includes everyone, and you choose golf, but grandpa is in a wheelchair or uses a walker, that might not be the best activity to plan.

How to Sell your Wedding Dress

Everyone that has been married knows that the wedding is expensive. Many things have to be done in order to make the day perfect. Some people would like to get some of their money back by selling some of things from their wedding. These things will include their wedding dress and accessories.

Selling a wedding dress can bring you in a good bit of money. For some of the dresses that are in almost perfect shape, you may be able to get at least half of the money backs out of it. This is something that you would appreciate doing. If you were not sentimentally attached to your wedding dress, selling it would be the most profitable for you.

The first thing that you need to do before you can sell your wedding dress is to make sure that it is professionally cleaned. You will want to make sure that your dress is looking its best. This is something that can cost you about fifty dollars, but it is well worth the money to have it looking its best. For some people, they may already have their dress cleaned after the wedding so it will be done for them anyway.

You may want to invest in a dust free box to store your wedding dress in. Avoid plastic bags and hangers. These things will seal in the humidity and it may damage or stretch the delicate fabrics that your wedding dress is made from. This is usually some thing that is smart to do for your wedding dress anyway before you store it.

You can then think about where you will want to sell the wedding dress. There are different places that you can sell your wedding dress. You may want to try to sell the dress at a consignment store. You will find that they have many once worn wedding dresses and there are many people that go there to buy their wedding dress.

Once you take it to a consignment shop, you will have to decide on a selling price that you will feel good about. The store will take into account the style, the condition of the dress and the age. Some dresses are still in fashion no matter how old they are while others go out and do not come back into style. These dresses are the ones that are going to be worth less to the consignment shop owners.

You will then sign a contract for a few months. You will usually receive fifty percent of the sale. If the dress is not sold at the end of the agreement, you will then be able to extend the agreement or take the wedding dress back and try to sell it another way. There are plenty of other ways to sell your wedding dress.

The first thing that you will have to do is advertise it. A person cannot buy what they do not know is for sale. You will want to put as many ads up as you can about the dress. Try to make sure that you are advertising it in the right spots. The perfect places would be the local newspaper, the shopping centers (on the bulletin boards), and even online.

You want to make your ad look as good as you can. A color picture with the ad will have a lot of selling power. You will want to make sure that your ad is placed somewhere that many people will see. You want to make sure that you are getting your dress out there for everyone to see. The more people that see it will mean the better your chances of selling it.

Online sells are a great idea. You can use the different auction sites to get your dress out there on the market. Including a picture is one of the best ways to make people interested in your wedding dress. List your asking price and you may get it. You can also have people bid on your dress and sell it to the person with the highest bid.

There is no reason why you cannot cash in on your wedding dress. This is a great way to make some extra cash and get room in your closet back.

Post Wedding Activities

For many couples, the wedding is not over once the reception is. Depending on the location of the wedding and the couple’s relationship with their families, often there are other activities that follow the main event.

One of the most obvious is a breakfast the day following the wedding. This is a time for everyone to touch base with each other, check in on how everyone did and perhaps share memories of the night before. This breakfast activity can be as simple or elaborate as you like. Some people like to have this breakfast at a relative’s house because that is friendly and familiar and more conducive to everyone hanging out and enjoying themselves. It can be potluck style or catered. You can also meet up at a restaurant.

Many families like to have the bride and groom open presents the day after the wedding. There are many who believe the bride and groom are required to open presents in the presence of family for good luck. In that case, building in the opening of presents is essential. This can be a simple gathering of friends and family or you can turn the present opening into an all-out activity, where each item is opened, demonstrated or displayed and discussed in great detail.

Opening gifts doesn’t have to a dry activity. You can add some silly fun. How about starting with the smallest and moving to the largest gifts? Or working in the reverse order? You might even create a game. Everyone has to guess what’s in each gift prior to its being opened. (Of course, people can’t guess on their on gifts.) Someone can be in charge of keeping a tally and whoever gets the most right, wins a small prize.

The women in the bride’s family might want to help her pack up her gown (or send it to the dry cleaners) and preserve her wedding bouquet. This can easily be done at home and the women (particularly those who are crafty) might want to get started on preserving the flowers as well.

In the crafty light, some brides might want to plan a scrapbook party for after the wedding. You won’t have photos back from the photographer, but you can scrapbook many other wedding events, such as pre-events like manicures, various parties and the candid photos take by wedding guests the night before. More than being focused on the photos, this activity gives the women a chance to reflect on the events of the wedding, laugh at all the fun ties and journal and preserve memories before some are lost. It will also help the bride feel as if she’s partly in control of all those photos before she leaves on her honeymoon and takes yet more photos.

If gifts were opened on this “day after the wedding”, crafty groups might want to make thank you cards. Choose a design long before the wedding, perhaps even making a prototype as well. Then have all the supplies on hand and give everyone good ideas about how the cards should be made. Even the men can get on this act, helping to fold the cards, perhaps handling any computer work and even getting their fingers on glue and scissors. Send the bride and groom off with these homemade cards so when they get back from their honeymoon, all they have to do is jot off a quick note.

Some brides and grooms plan activities the day fter the wedding that are designed to help everyone calm down, relax and unwind after what has likely been a busy weekend. In this light, you can plan a picnic at the park and bring along games to play. You might pack a football, a volleyball net or items to play baseball. You might bring along water guns or a dartboard. Whatever it is, the idea here is to have some fun and blow off steam. Make your own rules when playing the games. It really doesn’t matter. Today is about relaxing, unwinding and spending some quality time with friends and family before the special weekend is over.

How to Preserve your Wedding Dress

Your wedding dress is one of the most important pieces of clothing that you will have in your closet. You will want to make sure that you are getting the most of your wedding dress. Some people will put their wedding dress in storage and never use it again.

However, when you do decide to get your dress out, you will find that it may not be as perfect as it was when you put it in storage. You will want to make sure that you are taking the necessary steps to preserve your wedding dress the right way. You will want to keep it for some other people in your family. You may be able to one day hand it down to your own daughters when they get older.

This would be a special event and something that they can treasure forever. The first thing that you will want to do is keep the bag that your dress came in. Once you have the dress cleaned after your special wedding day, you will want to have the dress placed back in the bag or another plastic bag to keep it well preserved for years to come.

Make sure that you are using a good recommended cleaner to take care of your wedding dress. You may want to have one that specializes in wedding dresses or formal gowns. This way, you will know that you are getting someone that knows about how to take care of these types of dresses so that your dress is done perfectly with no chance of it being destroyed.

You will want to make sure that you are getting your wedding dress to the cleaners as soon as you can after the wedding. Try to make sure that you are getting it there fast so that you are not allowing time for any dirt or stains to set into the material. This will make it easier for them to remove any stains or marks from the dress. Make sure that you are alerting the dry cleaner of any stains or marks on the dress so that they can pay special attention to them.

Tell the dry cleaner of any beading or decorations that are on your dress. Make sure that they know they are there and how they are sewn on. This will make it easier for them to take care of the dress in the right way so that there is no chance for the beading and decorations to fall off. You can ask your dry cleaner for a special box that you can store your wedding dress.

This will allow you a special place for you to keep your wedding dress neatly. You will not have to worry about anything getting into the dress or wrinkled up. Make sure that you are keeping your dress in a cool, dry place. You do not want to store the box with your wedding dress in any place that it will have to deal with too much heat or cold. You will also want to keep it out of any place where it may get wet.

You should keep the box with your wedding dress in an airtight chest. This will ensure that nothing will get into the box. This will include rodents, insects and even dirt. These things may eventually destroy your wedding dress. You will find that a storage chest or locked box will be best to keep your wedding dress stored in. Keep the box out of an area where light may get to it. The light will eventually fade the dress and may cause more damage to the dress.

You want to stay away from boxes that have cellophane windows in them. This will help to keep the light out of the box and away from the dress. You may want to keep mothballs in the area where you are storing your wedding dress. This will keep the insects and other harmful things away from your wedding dress. Doing these things will help to ensure that your dress will stay well preserved so that when you get the dress out in a few years, it will be just like new as it was years ago.

Unique Wedding Favors

If you think that the commonly done almond Jordan’s are not something that you want to give your guests, you may want to think of something that will make both the bride and groom and the guests happy. You may want to give them something that is edible, keepsakes, or something that will make your wedding be special.

Some people who give wedding favors prefer to give edible goodies. Depending on the time of the wedding, you will want to get unique with a theme or you may just want to give them something that is tasty and enhances the romance of the table. As for themes, you may want to go with candy that is in for the season. For example, candy corn would make a great favor if you were having an autumn wedding.

This way it will match the decor, make an interesting favor, and save you some money. When it comes to wedding favors, you want to go as cheap as possible, because you will need to budget for everyone to get one. Another way to have unique wedding favors is like custom made chocolates.

You may want to have chocolates with your names written on them, or you may want to make chocolate covered strawberries and place your initials on it. Cookies are another party favor that you could give out. You can make gingerbread brides and grooms or you can make cookies that look like the cake. There are so many possibilities with an editable favor, that you can get as creative as you’d like.

As for unique keepsakes, you will find that they will be a little bit more expensive, but you may love to give your guests something to treasure for the rest of the marriage. Things like personalized plates, saucers, for them to place on their knick-knack shelf. You may also want to give them jars of honey or dried flowers and then have a label with the wedding date and your names on it. Another unique idea is to give them a picture frame and picture of the happy couple. You can expand the frame idea by getting custom-made coasters and other things that have the picture of the happy couple.

Another unique, but popular idea, is giving flowers with a print on it. The flowers will have the date and named printed on each and at each sitting, they are placed in a vase. This idea will had some romance to the tables and you love the fact that you won’t have to deal with where to place the centerpieces after the party is done.

When it comes to being unique, the wedding favor can be anything. That’s why it’s unique.

Most wedding have the traditional Jordan almonds as a favor because they come in every color and are very cheap. However, other candy companies are now getting in the wedding market. Candies like M & M’s are having messages printed on their candies like a wedding date, names, and so on. This is a unique favor because these companies are new to the seen. Not many people will give out a candy bar that says their wedding date and names, or a candy that is specially printed with their information on it.

Rather you go with edible or treasured favors, you will want to stay within a budget and make sure that it is something that both the groom and the bride would like to share with their guests.

How to Hem your Wedding Dress on your Own

Many brides have to do their wedding on a budget. They will have to get a dress that is a ‘good deal’, and that will fit into their budget. For some of these dresses, getting a good price will mean that you will have to get something that will not be perfect right off the bat.
