Welcome To The Wedding Party Guide!

March 5th, 2009  |  Published in Wedding Party Thoughts


I want to welcome you to our website. Thank you for taking the time to visit us at the Wedding Party Guide. We hope that you will find the information provided to be useful, possibly inspirational, and definitely FUN. I mean, what kind of party is it without fun? So feel free to let your hair down before the big day arrives and enjoy yourself.

We will focus on both things that come to mind when you hear the words “Wedding Party“. Future articles will cover the modern day etiquette of the group of people surrounding the bride and groom, as well as, the best way to celebrate with that group of friends and all the others who have come to celebrate your day with you. From the best locations to party down pre-ceremony to intriguing ideas for your own bash, we’ll have you covered. And when it comes to questions or concerns about the days leading up to and the big day itself, we will be on the ball to get you the information you need to help the perfect day go perfectly.

I’ve been a best man or groomsman many times throughout the years. And one thing that never seems to escape a ceremony is stress. And it isn’t just limited to the bride and groom. I’ve known many groomsmen who stressed about their duties or even walking down the isle with a bridesmaid who had one of those jealous type men in her life (I’ve seen bridesmaids not walk because of this and I’ve see men come to blows over it).  Hopefully, we’ll find a way to help defuse any of these issues with some knowledge from people who have successfully handled situations like this previously. When planning a wedding this kind of information can be valuable for sure.

Being a previous graduate of the Texas School of Bartenders, I’m looking forward to discussing the best party drinks for that day, that night, and beyond. And we may even find a few you’ve never considered as a beverage for this particular occasion. We’ll try to go over all the fun stuff – practical jokes on the bride and groom, what dances guests enjoy the most, how to tastefully make a great toast that will still make the bride and groom blush, and much more. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope you are too.

Welcome, and enjoy!

Random Wedding Etiquette Thoughts

March 3rd, 2009  |  Published in wedding etiquette

As bitter as I sometimes feel, all this is the knowledge of what wedding etiquette was and is. The proper wedding etiquette is to follow the allotted time frame for each element. It will take some serious time up front. And as a second wedding etiquette rule, the honeymoon should be as sweet, if not sweeter, than the first wedding. Just a decade ago, there is this popular thought in the way second wedding should be celebrated.

The great thing about wedding gift etiquette is that you can decide your own.

My most never to be forgotten comments about military wedding etiquette is a free flowing decrement from my impractical thinking. The couple must instead concentrate on the family, on each other and the wedding party. Wedding thank you etiquette was affected by Miss Manners and others like her. I may never have to deal with that issue.

If you want to avoid seeing raised eyebrows on your wedding day, try to know some basic Wedding Etiquette and avoid committing Second Wedding Etiquette blunders. The question of who will pay for what can be decided among the bride and groom privately.

So, even before you announce your Second Wedding to people that you know, take the time to sit down and talk to your children first about your plans to remarry. It is common how the masses don’t explain a clear happening like this.

A couple may receive possibly the lowest price but if the rendered service does not meet what was promised, the value is useless, even if it is a small wedding.. The Guest List Couples must remember that there are really no rules involved in staging a rehearsal dinner. A few years ago, I had a client with this dilemma and these are the basic things you should be doing with etiquette for destination weddings. The question of when and where the wedding will be held is an important topic to consider. This would have given traditional wedding etiquette some wiggle room. The locations should be accessible to the family and guests. Most people are ignorant of this rule, however, they should be properly notified of this proper wedding etiquette at rehearsal dinners.

Though rehearsal dinner planning is making couples go crazy, they need not worry, a few rules to observe is all they need before actually staging the rehearsal dinners. I had conjectured that I should not ignore all the warning signs. SETTING: A small wedding can be held in a community center, a local park or even your parents’ backyard. They could celebrate their Second Wedding in any way they want it to be celebrated. The groom’s side takes care of the rehearsal dinner, the bride’s ring, clergy or officiator’s fee the bride’s bouquet the flowers for the entourage, transportation and lodging for the groom’s party. The collective wisdom is that one should have a fondness about wedding etiquette for  flowers. Your groom should have his own list too. Those living in a nice climate can have the reception at home and hire catering services. The proper wedding etiquette at rehearsal dinners also can be said that rehearsal dinners are a good time to present the guests with the thank you gifts.

To help control costs, a butler can be tasked to pass around hors d’ oeuvres and refreshments. The proper wedding etiquette at rehearsal dinners also tells us that it is not advisable not to invite the families.
