Get the Details Right Before the Big Day
If everything goes right, your wedding day is one time life event. And because you only get one shot at it, you want to make sure that every detail is nailed down correctly. That’s a major time commitment, especially for busy professionals. Fortunately, wedding planning is guided by a strict set of protocol and etiquette. If you’ve got a wedding coming up, try sticking to the basics rules as outlined in books like, “Emily Post’s Wedding Etiquette.
This classic wedding companion provides guidance for everything from what to put in the wedding invitations to who gets invited to the rehearsal dinner. Most people aren’t so familiar with wedding planning that they have these rules memorized, so there’s no shame in getting a little help.
Pre wedding etiquette blunders, like sending out wedding shower invitations too late, leave guests with a very bad impression of their hosts. But these mistakes can be avoided by simply adhering to one of the many wedding timelines that can be found in books or on the Web.
When everything shakes down, a wedding is just a series of small details strung together with a common theme. Keeping those details straight isn’t hard, but it’s the difference between a good and great event.
