Wedding Day Tips Part II
5. Fun with Disposable Cameras
More and more newlyweds and other party planners are having one disposable camera available on each dinner table. Not only do these cameras provide guests with something extra to do, they can capture the shots that photographers simply may not have time to get! Advise guests before your event to use the cameras to take candid pictures of informal and humorous themes. Leave the serious and formal portraits to the professional photographers! Also, have a collection basket on the gift or guest book table for people to return the cameras after all the exposures have been taken.
6. Stay In Touch With Your Wedding/Party Vendors
For your own peace of mind, it is usually a good idea for you to contact your wedding/party vendors on a monthly basis prior to your event. Keep a running list of things to discuss during these communications.
7. Don't Micro-Manage Everything!
Listen to the suggestions from your wedding professionals (caterer, photographer, videographer, mobile DJ). These experts can offer solid advice based on many years of experience at wedding ceremonies and receptions.
They have first hand knowledge! They can also probably recommend other vendors to Brides and Grooms based on their professional experiences with these people
8. Stay calm
It should surprise no one that on Wedding Day, many newlyweds are very nervous. The following suggestions are offered as a possible remedy:
Simplify your Wedding Day plans. The more details and minute that you include...the better the chance that something will go wrong! Don't worry about the small stuff!
