			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone knows that a wedding day is the bride’s day. But it takes many people to make this day truly special. It’s the savvy and wise bride who takes the time to say “Thank You” to her bridesmaids and maid of honor for their hard work and efforts. Being a bridesmaid or maid of honor sometimes can be quite a challenge, and only someone who has done this task will understand what it takes.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/say-thank-you-to-your-bridesmaids/thanks-to-bridesmaids/" rel="attachment wp-att-1380"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1380" title="thanks-to-bridesmaids" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thanks-to-bridesmaids-550x365.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="365" /></a></p>
<p>Brides have been known to ask bridesmaids for help planning their wedding, with the small and big details. Anything from helping them to pick out a wedding dress to hand addressing wedding invitations. Some bridesmaids or maid of honor may feel at times just as overwhelmed as the bride, even though this is not “their day.” But they know they want their friend or family member’s day to be as special and as magical as she hopes it will be.</p>
<p>Say “Thank You” to your hardworking bridesmaids or maid of honor during wedding planning and also after the wedding. Don’t worry if your wedding budget is stretched to the limit: you can still offer a heartfelt, meaningful “Thank You” that they will appreciate. Here are some of our favorite tips to say “Thank You” to these wonderful women who’ve helped with your wedding day.</p>
<p>Hold a Thank You lunch or dinner for their bridesmaids and maid of honor. You can hold this before the wedding or even after the wedding, when you are back from your honeymoon. But if you hold the Thank You lunch after your wedding, it’s important to say “Thank You” before your wedding day to each of your bridesmaids and maid of honor. Make the lunch special and all about your bridesmaids and maid of honor. Don’t talk about the wedding; this is a day to celebrate your gal pals. A lovely gift for your bridesmaids and maid of honor on this day is a framed picture of all of you; it can be a casual or formal picture.</p>
<p>Thank You letter. There’s something special about a letter, in this day and age they have become even more rare. People often send emails or a quick cell phone call. A wonderful way to say “Thank You” to your bridesmaids and maid of honor is to write a Thank You letter to each of them. Don’t worry about being a great writer, just speak from the heart. Tell them how special they are to you and how helpful they have been in making your wedding a wonderful day. Don’t worry about how long or how short your letter is, this is not a homework assignment! Focus on saying “Thank You” and sending a personalized letter to each of them.</p>
<p>Get Personal with a thoughtful gift. You can find many personalized gifts for bridesmaids when you visit wedding favor stores, online or brick and mortar stores. There are hundreds, if not dozens of choices for you. Whether you choose a tote bag, sterling silver picture frame, beach towel, jewelry or other lovely gift – we’ll let you in on the biggest secret of them all. The very best personalized gift for bridesmaids and your maid of honor that you can give to say “Thank You” is not necessarily the exact same one to each of them, or one that focuses on the theme of your wedding. The best gift is one that you think that specific bridesmaid or maid of honor will enjoy the most. If you know that bridesmaid loves the beach, then choose the beach towel. If another bridesmaid takes dozens of photos with her digital camera, choose the sterling silver photo frame. You see? The right gift for the right bridesmaid or maid of honor, personalize it by thinking of them personally, individually.</p>
<p>Thank You! to all the wonderful, helpful bridesmaids and maid of honors who’ve made the bride’s day so special!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every married couple looks forward to their honeymoon. It is one of the most romantic vacations you’ll take as a couple. That’s why we feel we should let you in on a few bride to bride secrets that only brides truly know. No…it’s not what you think…it’s actually all about enjoying your honeymoon as a fun vacation with your new hubby. You too can be a honeymoon savvy bride!</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/be-a-honeymoon-savvy-bride/honeymoon-savvy-bride/" rel="attachment wp-att-1367"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1367" title="honeymoon-savvy-bride" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/honeymoon-savvy-bride.jpg" alt="honeymoon-savvy-bride" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<h2>Bride to Bride Secret #1</h2>
<p><strong>Remember the 24 Hour Rule.</strong> Now there may be other 24 hour rules, but this one is so important for brides. Your wedding day is an exciting, very memorable day. You’ll probably celebrate all day and night, dancing well into the wee hours of the next morning with friends and family. The only challenge with this is that you’re getting up at 6am to catch that 9am flight to Bora Bora for your wonderful honeymoon! It’s the savvy brides who actually plan 24 hours between their wedding and leaving for their honeymoon to relax and enjoy every moment of this experience. This is a far better choice than missing your flight or rushing through everything sleep deprived, a sure recipe for starting your honeymoon as “the Bickersons” couple!</p>
<h2>Bride to Bride Secret #2</h2>
<p>Plan ahead. It’s no surprise that 99.9% of the brides we know are totally focused on the wedding. They just don’t think that much about the honeymoon. Brides are far too busy, thinking about bridesmaids’ dresses, the perfect flowers and finding that great band. But you do need to plan ahead for your honeymoon and get every detail taken care of, just as you do for your wedding. Get your passport or other travel details organized well in advance. Take care of other practical travel details like packing sun block or suntan lotion.</p>
<h2>Bride to Bride Secret #3</h2>
<p><strong>Be sure to budget.</strong> Your honeymoon is a once in a lifetime experience, and you’ll want to enjoy every moment. Before you go is the time to plan for all of the special and fun things you want to do, instead of giving your credit card a real workout. Most often you can get approximate costs of the activities you would like from visiting the hotel and location’s website, these can help you budget. Our tip: don’t forget to include gratuities (tips!) when these will apply!</p>
<h2>Bride to Bride Secret #4</h2>
<p><strong>Learn one of the easiest ways to make your new husband happy.</strong> We’re about to let you in on one of the easiest, simplest ways to make your new husband happy. Ready to learn? It’s all about packing a suitcase, and traveling lighter instead of bringing two or three pairs of shoes for every whim. Even if hubby isn’t carrying your suitcase, somehow most men tend to fuss over too many suitcases brought on a trip. And every additional suitcase is an additional charge as you travel with most airlines today.</p>
<h2><strong>Bride to Bride Secret #5</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Romance appears in unexpected moments.</strong> This is something every bride learns about the honeymoon, and its one of the loveliest things. Romance does appear in the most unexpected moments. You don’t always have to plan for that candlelight dinner or roses and champagne. It can be that moment of laughter that you share or a shared experience on your honeymoon. And it’s the perfect way to start your marriage, the biggest romance of them all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planning a wedding can sometimes be overwhelming. That’s in its best moments. A wedding is often stressful and challenging – especially with all of those tiny details a bride has to manage. Today’s bride is busier than ever, with family obligations, a full time job, school and community obligations. How can she keep it all together? Let us suggest some of our favorite tried and true easy bride’s organization tips for you!</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/get-organized-bride.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1360" title="get-organized-bride" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/get-organized-bride.jpg" alt="get-organized-bride" width="588" height="276" /></a></p>
<ol>
<li>Create a bridal binder to gather all vital information. Purchase a large binder at a stationary store and keep every detail regarding the wedding in this binder. Add sections related to the wedding such as “reception,” “formal wear,” “honeymoon,” “flowers,” and so on. Each section will help you stay more organized and able to reach information quickly. The trick is to not have dozens of sections – but simply enough to keep the information well organized so you don’t have everything stacked together. Tip: if it takes you longer than five minutes to find something, you need to redo your sections to make them work for you.</li>
<li>Put an envelope in your purse or briefcase to keep all wedding related receipts. It’s an old habit and some of us are “savers” and others are “tossers” by nature. If you are a receipt saver then you’ll find this a bit easier than the tossers will. Fortunately this is an easier habit to develop than some. You just need to make it simple and convenient for yourself. Make sure the envelope is large and sturdy and always well within reach. Don’t let receipts wind up all over the place – every receipt related to the wedding during daily life goes into the envelope and at the end of the day you transfer it to your bridal binder. It’s actually that easy!</li>
<li>Keep your cell phone (with photo ability) or digital camera on hand for wedding errands at all times. Brides today do a lot of comparison shopping. There’s also the challenge that you need to confer with the groom and each other’s families about some of the things you’ll want to do. So if you want to show your future mother in law how beautiful the flowers will be, be sure to snap a photo of them while you are at the florist’s. No one should mind your taking a few photos while you are running errands and this can also help you make up your mind about which vendor to choose as you do your comparisons of them later on.</li>
<li>Delegate wedding related chores wisely. It can be tempting to drop any chore on literally anyone offering to help. But DON’T! This sometimes can cause you double work in the end as you have to redo something they have done. A wedding is a very personal and intimate event. Even your mother or mother-in-law truly might not understand your exact tastes. Having them select something could also cause a frustrating misunderstanding when you go to reselect something on your own – as they will then be offended with your new choice. Delegate only what you can accept with someone else making a choice or where you have done some of the original legwork for them. For example don’t ask your mother-in-law to choose your invitations. You could ask her to get information from three different companies about a particular style of invitation and how quickly they could be printed and delivered. Notice YOU are making all of the important decisions there. Your mother-in-law is not selecting the invitation in any way. Keep all wedding related chores smooth and simple for everyone concerned.</li>
</ol>
<p>Every moment of your wedding is special. Good organization helps you enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime event all the more!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Important Items for a Wedding Planner List</h2>
<p>For a bride and groom who wish to plan their wedding, a complete <a rel="nofollow" title="wedding planner list" href="http://www.weddingplansandpitfalls.com" target="_blank">wedding planner list</a> can be helpful in ensuring everything is coordinated for the big day. Great tools to help make this wedding planner list are websites especially designed to account for all the details of the wedding. There are even some free sites that offer this service at no charge.Other items to consider for a list are marriage laws, reception needs, ceremony needs, guest lists, bridal party events, and the all important budget.</p>
<h3>Marriage Laws</h3>
<p>Marriage laws are different in every state, and should be researched on a local level. All states require a marriage license for a marriage to be considered legally binding, and some states still require blood testing prior to being issued a marriage license.Also the bride’s name change usually cannot be completed until after the marriage license has been signed by the person performing the wedding.</p>
<p>Then she will usually have to go in person to the social security office and department of motor vehicles (or local driver’s license office) with the completed and signed marriage license to have all of her legal documents changed to her married name. These are important steps for any wedding planning list; they should be kept on hand for after the ceremony and honeymoon.</p>
<h3>Reception Needs</h3>
<p>A bride and grooms wedding planning list will likely have a large reception section; as this is where the party happens.All of the guests, food, decorations, and entertainment all need to end up at the same place at the same time. Coordinating this alone can seem intimidating, however planning ahead and checking items off of the wedding planning list as they’re completed is a way to simplify the process and stay organized.</p>
<h3>Ceremony Needs</h3>
<p>This part of a wedding planning list is likely to be the largest as this is the section where flowers, guests, and bridal part merge for the main event.The ceremony itself often lasts less than an hour, but the preparation often takes months. This wedding planning list can go on to include every aspect of an individual wedding to keep everyone organized.A wedding planning list can include: the guest list, floral arrangements, booking the church and reception area, finding a band or DJ, organizing the fittings and pick-ups of the wedding party’s attire, the rehearsal and dinner.</p>
<h3>The Budget</h3>
<p>The most important function a wedding planning list can serve is to keep a bride and groom with in their budgets as it is so easy to get overwhelmed by the variety available and lose track of what is really needed and wanted for the wedding.A wedding planning list can help keep the couple not only on the dollar but also from forgetting something important that is needed for the ceremony, reception, or honeymoon.</p>
<p>It can also ease a budget to discuss ahead of time exactly who will be paying for what.While traditionally, the bride’s family pays for the wedding &#8211; that need not be the case any more. Nevertheless, here are a few examples of what is traditionally divided and by whom.  Bride’s family traditionally pays for the reception, flowers, decorations, music, photographer, and bridesmaids’ gifts.</p>
<p>The groom’s family will traditionally provide for the marriage license, ties and gloves for the wedding groomsmen, rehearsal dinner, and the honeymoon.Keeping track of who is doing what on a wedding planner checklist will make the entire wedding process more enjoyable. The bride and groom should be able to relax and enjoy the first day of the rest of their lives together.</p>

<p>The Mediterranean Sea has long been a popular destination for honeymooning couples. Many people focus on the mainland of countries bordering the Mediterranean such as Israel, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey, and completely forget about all the islands located in the region. There are over 3,000 islands in the Mediterranean Sea, many of them exquisite and little known locations where you can honeymoon in peace and quiet. Here are three of the best kept secret Mediterranean island destinations for your honeymoon.</p>
<p><strong>Tilos, Greece</strong> – With a population of barely over 500 people and only three hotels in the area, you’ve hit the jackpot if you’re looking for a remote vacation spot free from chattering hordes of tacky tourists. The downside to a place with so few places to stay is that you have to book early in order to get a spot. Tilos is a wonderful place to watch bird migrations, and there are several ruins on the island that you can explore, including the Megálo Chorió and Mikró Chorió castles and the Monastery of Áyios Pandeleímon.</p>
<p><strong>Maddalena Archipelago, Italy</strong> – The Maddalena Archipelago is a group of seven large islands and several little ones. The seven islands, from largest to smallest, are Isola Maddalena, Caprera, Spargi, Santo Stefano, Santa Maria, Budelli and Razzoli. The entire archipelago is part of the Arcipelago di La Maddalena National Park, which is currently being considered by UNESCO as a future World Heritage Site. If you were interested in checking out the area but are not interested in staying at the nearby world famous Costa Smeralda resort, then the Maddalena islands are perfect for you as they share the same beautiful water and coastlines but the Maddalena islands are much less popular. Only three of these islands are actually inhabited, which leaves visitors with plenty of undeveloped land to explore.</p>
<p><strong>Sovalye, Turkey</strong> – The island of Sovalye is part of a chain of twelve islands in the Gulf of Fethiye. It is the only one of the islands that is still inhabited. Although Sovalye is the island that is actually closest to the mainland and only ten minutes away from nearby mainland settlements by boat, the regular tour boat operators ignore it because they want to take tourists out to islands that are further away, which results in more money for them. This is great for travelers visiting Sovalye looking for a peaceful and undisturbed paradise. On Sovalye there are no cars or roads – people get around by walking. Canoes and boats are the best way to explore the island. Another popular activity is to snorkel through the crystal clear waters to see the sunken mosaics and other remains from ancient Roman times that have slid into the sea. There are a few rental villas, a couple of guest houses and self catering apartments, and a hotel on the island and the prices aren’t too bad.</p>

<p>There are millions of women around the world who yearn to one day have a beautiful wedding. They eagerly want to find “Mr. Right” and be whisked away in his arms and into happily ever after. From dating often; searching on the internet and even going on television shows to fight for their Prince Charming, many women long to hear their very own wedding bells. However, it seems that in today’s society, many women who are so committed to getting married do not comprehend the difference between a wedding and a marriage. Many women and men as well are so fixated with the fantasy of an extravagant wedding that they don’t give much thought to life after the wedding ends and the reception hall closes.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/married.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1008" title="married" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/married.jpg" alt="" width="391" height="261" /></a></p>
<p>More people need to realize that a wedding is just a ceremony where the “I do’s” take place whereas a marriage is the lifelong partnership between 2 people. A wedding is merely a show that tells the public that a union has been made between 2 people. All shows must end and in this case, when the wedding ends, the marriage comes into play. By understanding the difference between the 2, many more women and men, might begin the think longer and harder about rushing into a marriage. It is something that should not be taken lightly and should be given much thought because after the dream of a fabulous wedding is over, reality begins to knock at the door, just waiting to enter.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/marriage-photos.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1009" title="marriage-photos" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/marriage-photos.jpg" alt="" width="321" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>In the United States, about 50% of marriages end in a divorce. According to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://studiesoflove.com">studiesoflove.com</a>, the first 2 years of a marriage are the most crucial. This discovery is an astonishing one being that in the first 2 years of marriage, the “honeymoon” phase should still be in effect. Many believe that the first few years of a marriage should be a great time for a couple because the couple should be enjoying their new lives together as the first time as man and wife. Unfortunately, this belief is not as true as previously thought. How is that?  Why are the first 2 years of a union between 2 people who are suppose to be happily and madly in love so difficult so early in their marriage? That’s just it. The newlyweds are finally in a MARRIAGE. The fun of the wedding is dead. The food, family, friends, laughter, music, decorations, elegant dresses and sophisticated tuxedos are a thing of the past and reality has struck. With the end of the wedding and the beginning of the marriage, many couples begin to realize that they were so in love with the idea of an amazing wedding that they never gave much thought about live after. These couples finally see that they might not actually know or even love their spouse as much as they thought because only desire of a glamorous wedding was what really mattered to them at the time.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/getting-married-3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1010 alignright" title="getting-married-3" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/getting-married-3.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="166" /></a></p>
<p>Moreover, according to divorce statistics.org, 45%-50% of first marriages end in divorce, 60%-67% of second marriages end in divorce and 70-73% of marriages end in divorce. As you can see, the more marriages that occur between people, the higher their risk of divorcing. One thought for the reason for these statistics are, is because as some people who have been previously married decided to get married again…and again, the thought of love and commitment to their new spouse becomes less and less important. Love and commitment for their new partner are not top priorities anymore. But wait, weddings still are great! The show of your huge diamond ring and your insanely expensive dress and the most beautiful reception that your guests ever saw will definitely leave them in awe. Your already married friends will surely eat their hearts out when they see how much better your wedding is to theirs. This sadly is the thought that millions of soon to be married people, especially women think when they are planning their weddings. With the constant images of how incredible your wedding could possibly be, who has time to think about true love, commitment and the rest their lives with their soul mate? Clearly not many.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/755285423_edf4d50bca.jpg"><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-152" title="Rainy Day Wedding" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/755285423_edf4d50bca-400x400.jpg" alt="Rainy Day Wedding" width="400" height="400" /></a>Most weddings cost far more than you would spend on a decent saloon car. It&#8217;s unthinkable that you would drive your brand new car without insurance cover, yet so many couples take a bigger financial risk by not insuring their wedding costs against the risk of total loss. By comparison to cars, house content, possessions, valuables, etc., wedding insurance costs very little for comprehensive cover. The relatively small premium for wedding insurance will give you peace of mind as you plan for your wedding.</p>
<p>Wedding insurance policies give a wide range of cover for many eventualities that could affect your wedding day. However, it is unlikely that small, irritating events would be included in the cover, such as rainfall, cloud, etc. but stronger weather forces that affect the wedding day almost certainly would, such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, etc. If adverse weather or other unpredicted events were to cause your wedding or reception venue to close or become inaccessible then your wedding insurance policy would provide a suitable level of cover. The same policy would cover unpredictable events with the wedding car supplier or the caterer or even if the bride or groom should sustain an accident which caused the wedding to be canceled for the planned date. A low premium insurance policy to cover all of the wedding day suppliers and events will compensate for those unexpected situations that can leave you seriously out of pocket.</p>
<h3>Don&#8217;t Forget to Plan for Wedding Insurance Early</h3>
<p>When you start to plan the wedding arrangements most couples wouldn&#8217;t consider including insurance as a part of their list &#8211; but you should! When you have set your wedding date and you start to book the suppliers for your wedding you are starting to make financial obligations for the big day &#8211; at that stage you should have your wedding insurance in places as well. This will give you a maximum period of cover for your insurance fee as well as adequate cover should anything go wrong in the period leading up to your wedding day that may leave you financially disadvantaged.</p>
<h3>Wedding Insurance Policies</h3>
<p>Most wedding insurance policies are similar, both in price and in the level of cover that they offer, but it&#8217;s still worth shopping around to find the cover that best suits you. The internet and insurance brokers are a great source of information for the levels of cover offered by different companies. A good policy will include cancellation (but unlikely that this would include a change of mind!), the wedding rings and other wedding jewelery, wedding dress, the Groom, Best man and bridesmaid&#8217;s outfits (if you are hiring formal attire, then check the insurance requirements), venue(s), caterer, transportation, florist, personal accident for the Bride and Groom if this affects your wedding plans, personal liability, wedding cake damage, photographer (including destruction of the wedding photographs), wedding gifts (ensure that cash and vouchers are included).</p>
<p>The insurance cover for your honeymoon should be arranged separately from the wedding insurance. Your honeymoon would normally be covered by travel insurance, generally arranged at the same time as making your travel arrangements. However, you may wish to consider that the travel insurance would not normally cover cancellation as a result of your wedding plans having been disrupted, so you may want to include cover for this with your wedding insurance policy or take out separate cover for this specific risk.</p>
<h3>Peace of Mind for Your Wedding Day</h3>
<p>Planning and organizing your wedding can be a very enjoyable experience, leading up to one of the most exciting and important days of your life. No one expects things to go wrong, and they rarely do, but you should have the reassurance of wedding insurance to give yourself peace of mind over any unexpected or unpredictable events that could disrupt your wedding day. When you start to plan your wedding day and book the suppliers, take out your wedding insurance policy at the same time. This gives the maximum period of cover and means you can concentrate on your wedding whilst you have the reassurance that the whole event is covered by your wedding insurance policy. Enjoy planning for the big day and your wedding day itself &#8211; congratulations, it&#8217;s one of the most enjoyable days of your life.</p>

It can be awkward to think about but the truth is most people love being told what gift to buy. It makes it so much easier. If they don&#8217;t want to buy something from the register then they don&#8217;t have to. It is best to register or else you may end up with 4 sets of candle holders. True Story.</p>
<p>In addition to saving the wedding guests time and possibly money, you won&#8217;t have to use your free time returning gifts you don&#8217;t need (or want) or gifts that you got two of (or four). No bad gifts and no returns, sound like a nice gift for yourself. And after the honeymoon is over, you&#8217;ll appreciate the extra time you will have saved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Summer: the time of year where love fills the air and wedding invitations flood your mailbox.  Typically the invitations portray the theme of the wedding and inform the invitee when and where the wedding will take place.  Over the past couple months, I&#8217;ve been getting a ton of invites in the mail seeing how I&#8217;m at that age where everyone seems to be getting married (except me, but that&#8217;s another topic all together).<a rel="nofollow" title="$20,000 by Johnny Vulkan, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnnyvulkan/381941233/"><img class="alignright" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/145/381941233_99ba9795b3_m.jpg" alt="$20,000" width="240" height="161" /></a></p>
<p>Anyway, if you haven’t heard, the average cost of a wedding these days’ is about $24,000. When you consider most people getting married are around 26 and that bill doesn’t include the rings or the honeymoon – the fact is that weddings are freakin&#8217; expensive.  In most cases, the couples getting married have just finished paying off their college debt and saving for their new home. Sure, some families help take care of a wedding. But there are definitely ways to host a $20,000 for less&#8230; much less.</p>
<p>Below are 8 money saving tips to help alleviate the expense of a wedding.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #1.</strong> Off season weddings are much more affordable than a typical summer wedding.  Also, it would also help to cut costs if it were scheduled on a Friday or Sunday.  Depending on the time of the year, certain places may be decorated in advanced which can also encourage savings.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #2.</strong> The average guest list is 178 family and friends long.  This is possibly where you can end up saving most of your money considering everything &#8211; outside of the ceremony &#8211; is dependent on the head count.   If possible, limit your guest list to 125-150. A good rule of thumb here: don’t invite more guests then you can spend at least a minute of your time with.</p>

<p><strong>Tip #3.</strong> It is important to capture the memories created during your special day with photos, but getting professional photos could be cheaper than you think. Find a family member with some photography experience, a friend that you graduated with that majored in photography, or a cheap freelancer. Chances are they are willing to donate their services as a wedding gift or for much cheaper than a professional.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" title="mmm buffet...i love futurama by Scott MacLeod Liddle, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottliddle/89025019/"><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/23/89025019_5ca499f779_m.jpg" alt="mmm buffet...i love futurama" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Tip #4.</strong> Food is probably going to end up costing the most out of all the wedding expenses.  You may want to consider a buffet style meal instead of a sit down meal.  It may also be feasible to have the caterers drop off the prepared food and set it all up and then leave.  Or, if you’re really ambitious, do the catering yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #5.</strong> Wedding announcements and invitations can be found for FREE!  There are a ton of services on the web that provide <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.printwithmypic.com/announcements/">free personalized announcements</a> which can be printed from your home computer.  Use some theme colored ribbon to spruce up the look and feel of the card.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #6.</strong> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.frommyexperience.com/">From my experience</a>, I know how you ladies like to browse dresses in magazines and try on dresses at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.alfredangelo.com/index.aspx">bridal shops</a> like Alfred Angelo. The dress is always a pricey piece of weddings, but if you&#8217;re not afraid to wear last season&#8217;s fashions, hundreds of dollars can be saved by going with an older style dress.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" title="DJ (#15647) by mark sebastian, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/markjsebastian/318382586/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/126/318382586_f1dd1c4e78_m.jpg" alt="DJ (#15647)" width="160" height="240" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Tip #7.</strong> Some marriages find it a must to have a live band at their wedding. Others may suffice with a DJ.  Good live bands can cost as much as $2,000 or more.  Instead, find a musically inclined friend that will do it for cheap or even free as a gift.  If you really want to go cheap, find a play list online and download the songs to your iPod and use an amplifier to play it. I’ve seen this done at many weddings recently and found it to be just as effective as a DJ.</p>
<p><strong>Tip #8.</strong> Certain beverages at the wedding can be extremely costly.  Instead of hosting an open bar, have a beer wagon and a wine bar.  If your families aren’t big drinkers only have a glass of champagne for the toast or just cut it out altogether.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bridesmaids.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-699 alignright" title="bridesmaids" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bridesmaids.jpg" alt="" width="227" height="308" /></a>Let’s face it: planning a wedding is tough. Many brides admit that planning their wedding would be much harder if it wasn’t for their bridesmaids. Often your bridesmaids help with logistics and things that just can’t be handled by a single person. So when it comes time to say, “Thank you!” to these lovely ladies – we know you want to pick out special bridesmaids’ gifts. But after the expense of a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.weddingsetups.com">wedding</a>, adding any other expenses can be a challenge. Here are some of our favorite bridesmaids’ “Thank you” gifts that are thoughtful and won’t have you reaching the top limit on any credit card.</p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Personalized-Round-Compact-Mirror.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-698 alignleft" title="Personalized Round Compact=" src="http://www.myweddingideas.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Personalized-Round-Compact-Mirror-155x200.jpg" alt="" width="155" height="200" /></a>Personalized Makeup Mirror. </strong>Many women like to touch up their makeup during the day, and what could be better than a personalized makeup mirror as their bridesmaid’s “Thank you” gift? This is an ideal gift, as they will think of you each time they use it and it is reasonably priced. Best of all, it is personalized with their first name or monogram for a sophisticated and elegant look. Any bridesmaid will appreciate this gift ideal for daytime and evening use.</p>
<p><strong>Birthstone Jewelry. </strong>This is a thoughtful gift for your bridesmaids and you’ll find a wide selection of birthstone jewelry to choose from. There is personalized birthstone jewelry and simply birthstone jewelry that features the lovely gemstones on their own. One of the best things about this choice is that each woman will feel special and remembered as “their” birthstone month is uniquely their own. While they are there to share your Big Day, their “Thank you” gift is something that remembers them as unique individuals. You’ll find birthstone jewelry for every budget price and both daytime to evening looks.</p>
<p><strong>Handmade Gift.</strong> Now this can be a very special and thoughtful gift if done with care. A handmade gift is best when it is created specifically for the recipient. So you are using their favorite color, their name or initials and including themes or topics that they enjoy. Any ways you can make this special for them or about your friendship/relationship will make this a grand-slam gift. Let’s say you are known for making delicious chocolate pretzels. So you choose to make this as your bridesmaids’ “Thank you” gift. Make this even more special by dipping each bridesmaid’s set of pretzels in their favorite color of sprinkles. And then put them in a pretty re-useable tin or jar. Include a thoughtful note saying how “sweet” they are. You see? Your handmade gift suddenly becomes something uniquely about them.</p>
<p><strong>Plan a Fun/Girly Activity for After Your Honeymoon. </strong>This is a great choice especially if your bridesmaids are conveniently located and can all come back together. Treat them to a “Thank you” barbeque, fancy picnic or day at an <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mybigfatengagement.com">amusement</a> park. Or go be girly together and take them for manicures and pedicures. The key is to choose activities and themes that they will especially enjoy. Simply remember that this day is not about you as a bride or your getting married but about your friendships and celebrating them.</p>
