 I really don’t want to have rice or paper confetti thrown when we leave the church. Any suggestions for something different?
There are several things you could do. You could have guests blow bubbles, throw flower petals or release balloons in your wedding colours. Make sure you have someone lined up to take photos of this event.
We will be having several young children attending our wedding and reception. What could I do to keep the children entertained during the reception?
Try setting up a “Children’s Table” decorated just for them. Fill the table with lots of fun things to keep the children from getting bored – colouring books, crayons, blank paper, activity books, puzzles, etc. Be sure you and the groom stop by and visit them several times during the reception. This will make them feel extra special!
We are planning a large wedding and I want to have the traditional receiving line. My fiancé says that it will take too long and the guests will get bored waiting in line. I don’t want to pass up this tradition. Any ideas?
This does sound like it could be a long wait for your guests. How about hiring a magician or a comedian to entertain the line of guests while they are waiting. Or you could designate someone as a receiving line photographer and take Polaroid’s of the guests. Have each guest sign them and keep them in their own scrapbook.
For the wedding, although my fiancée and I are not getting gifts for each other I've heard it's customary for the groom to send flowers on the morning of the wedding. Is this correct, and is there any particular flower that's recommended?
Sending flowers (any kind) to the bride on the morning of he wedding is a nice gesture and quite customary. It doesn’t have to be a huge bouquet, as it’s the thought that counts.
