How to plan a fun wedding

plan a fun wedding


It's interesting:
"The happy couple have picked a beautiful sunny day to get married. It’s perhaps a little too hot for me in this suit though, but at least I now know how Chewbacca felt filming those desert scenes."

Your wedding reception may very well be the biggest and most important party you ever plan, and you'll want to make sure everyone has a blast. Most wedding preparations begin months in advance, giving you have plenty of time to assemble a fabulous event. Just remember to have fun with the planning process. The preparations for the wedding day will contribute to your memories of the event, but you don't need to become a bridezilla.

      Create a guest list. With any wedding comes the temptation to invite certain people out of obligation. While you may not be able to avoid obligatory invitations altogether, you should definitely keep them to a minimum. Everyone at the party is less likely to have fun if you spend the entire time entertaining distant relatives that you barely even know. Try to narrow the guest list to those who are most important in your life. This way, you'll save money and have more fun.

      Choose a theme. Think about how you want your guests to remember your big day, and plan the theme around that sentiment. For a spirited event, choose a fun theme like a Mexican fiesta, a Hawaiian luau or a colorful Indian-inspired motif.

      Select your music. Choose a DJ or a live band to keep your guests hopping through the night. Be sure to interview any potential vendors and see them perform live before you make a commitment. If your DJ or band is a dud, your party will be, too. Choose someone is energetic and has the ability to get a crowd moving.

      Consider adding choreography. Plan a surprise first dance with your spouse-to-be, but don't let anyone in on the secret. Choose a standard first-dance song, such as "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole or "Crazy Love" by Brian McKnight, then plan to have that song interrupted with something more upbeat. You and your new spouse will then show off your dance skills by performing your pre-choreographed number. This will create an experience your guests will be talking about long after the event is over.

      Encourage guests to participate. Talk to your band or DJ about including dances that your guests will be able to participate in, such as the Macarena or Chicken Dance. These interactive numbers may seem silly, but they are especially helpful for breaking the ice if you have a shy crowd.
