Wedding Help

Don’t get me wrong, kids are adorable and I love them to death and most of the time I totally love their little personalities. But during serious moments they can sure be a distraction. I heard of a wedding not too long ago where the ring bearer (only about 2 or 3 at the time) sat down on the stairs at the front, sighing loudly and singing songs to himself, only to be followed by yelling out into the crowd to people he knew, and screaming EWWWWWW when bride and groom kissed. Sure, it gets laughs out of the audience, but it totally distracts from the wedding. Face it, although the child can be absolutely adorable, there is no telling what they’ll turn into once they stand up in front of everyone at your wedding ceremony. So, here are some qualities to look for when choosing your flower girl and your ring bearer.

Believe it or not, choosing your Maid of Honor and bridesmaids can be more complicated and difficult than you might think. Asking a dear friend or family member is a special honor, and it comes with a certain amount of responsibility, one that some may not be able to handle. The maid of honor is the head, chief, and main personal attendant of the bride for her wedding and wedding day. Therefore the maid of honor dress is typically slightly different from the rest of the wedding party, as is the maid of honor bouquet. Specifically, she is the primary attendant with the most honors and duties of the bridal party, and is considered the equivalent of the groom’s best man. They also have many responsibilities in this role that they may or may not realize. While each wedding and bride are different, the tasks will vary from wedding to wedding, but the basic tasks of the maid of honor are listed below.

Assistance with General Decision Making

While the bride and groom are responsible for making the majority of the important decisions regarding the wedding, the maid of honor is there to give opinions, offer support, and lend a hand wherever and whenever needed. This does not mean that she should stay glued to your hip from engagement to wedding! Phone conversations, email, and brainstorming girl’s nights are a great way to get another viewpoint without ruling your maid of honor’s life.

If you are having an outdoors wedding or reception, or your wedding location is without air conditioning (unheard of here in Texas), making your guests a fan wedding favor is a great idea. Instead of making them suffer in what could be sweltering heat on your wedding day, pass them out at the ceremony or the reception, or both as necessary, and you will help keep your guests happy and comfortable for the duration of your wedding. A fan is incredibly easy to make, and makes quite a unique wedding favor. Also, your fan can be two sided with a cute picture of you two on one side and the ceremony program on the other, or a menu, or directions to the reception site, or a romantic verse, the possibilites are as wide as your imagination. Another great plus, this handmade wedding favor is easy to make!
