admin — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Are you worried about your guest list? Do you wonder how many people will actually be at your wedding? The final guest list is one of the most stressful parts of planning a formal wedding. Many people today are not prompt in sending back their RSVP cards. Some forget altogether and just show up at a wedding. This can cause problems for the catering people and other professionals helping with your wedding.

It is always better to plan for more people than you anticipate and have more room and food available. Not having enough food, seats or favours can cause unnecessary stress at the last minuet. Your special day should be as stress free as possible and this is one part of the planning you can control.

If you want to have assigned seating it may be better to just have assigned tables. That way you can plan to leave a few places open should there be unexpected guests. No matter how well you plan there are always last minuet changes and this can mean you need to be flexible with seating arrangements. No matter how well you plan there are often uninvited guest that show up or guests who fail to come. Having a few extras of everything is a good way to avoid much of the stress of last minuet wedding planning. Be flexible and plan on enjoying your big day without the added stress of last minuet surprises.

But face it, even if everyone is there– it’s a lot to know.

Even if everything is going off without a hitch (or hopefully just one big one) an online wedding planner is a good idea. The Internet has been a great organization tool since its beginnings. Why not use it to help you navigate your special day?

How Many Bottles At The Bar

The First thing you need to decide is what type of bar you are going to have. It may be more cost effective to limit the type of drinks you serve at the bar to a few of the wedding parties favorite. You could definitely have a great bar that focuses on the bride and grooms favorite mixed drinks with the addition of perhaps the couples favorite beer, white wine, and red wine.

A great way to estimate the amount of alcohol needed would be to assume that each guess will consume two beers and one third a bottle of wine. This will most likely give you the perfect amount of alcohol at the wedding. If you take into consideration that some people will not drink at all, some people will have one drink, and others will leave the party after several drinks you will see that a nice average will probably serve your party just fine.

If you are catering to a more specific crowd, then take into consideration what they like to drink, how much they drink on average, and the cost of stocking a bar with it. Remember this is a celebration! It is important for the bar not to run out, but it is more important to celebrate the leap into married life of two close friends who love each other!What’s 1 more click?

To Invite Or Not To Invite

When planning a wedding, choosing who to invite can be a lengthy process. Brides-to-be have to consider the total number of guests they desire, complicated family relationships, and evaluate the strength of old friendships. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind for unique situations:

The Ex

Should a bride invite an ex-boyfriend to their wedding? It all depends on how good of friends they are, and if their future spouse is friendly, too. And if you still refer to him as “my ex-boyfriend Brad” rather than “my friend Brad”, that’s a clear sign to reconsider!

The Really Old Friend

It’s tempting to want your childhood best friend, the one you played dress-up with and made a veil out of an old bath towel, at your wedding. But consider whether or not you are still actually friends, or if you’re just feeling nostalgic.

Mom’s New Boyfriend

Having divorced parents makes wedding planning difficult, and you might feel strange about having your dad see your mom with her new boyfriend. But it will be hurtful to Mom if you tell her not to bring him. The best bet is to invite the boyfriend and let your dad know ahead of time that he will be there.
