unique wedding invitations - these are the basics

Anyone who has ever hosted a bridal shower within the informal setting of a home or backyard will know that food is a major sticking point. The location of the wedding is critical because it can play a key role in setting the mood for the wedding.

The rehearsal dinner gives the couple the chance to extend their thanks to everyone who has been involved with the wedding planning or who has simply supported them in their efforts. Simple glass bowls can be used as centerpieces and filled with a few colorful glass marbles along with some water and an exotic and colorful fish. The best man usually accompanies the groom to choose styles and colors for the tuxedos to be worn by the best man and the groomsmen.

A couple is likely to receive countless picture frames on their wedding but you can put a twist on the idea of giving a picture frame to turn it into a more creative wedding gift. Wedding gifts are given at the wedding and shower gifts are given at the shower. Use seasonal decorations, cornucopias and such, as your centerpieces.

Throughout the planning the maid of honor is involved every step of the way from choosing a dress and location to helping to wrap favors and set up for the reception. This process gives you a chance to ponder all the reasons why you love your partner.
