Preparing for your wedding
By
Nily Glaser
Congratulations and best wishes on your upcoming wedding. You are probably busy with preparation for the most important day of the rest of your life. You want it to be a one-of-a-kind, memorable occasion for you and your guests. The following are suggested items you should have on your to-do or done list. Obviously you should adjust and personalize it and add some touches of your own.

Before the wedding day

Engagement

Send out engagement announcements
Commemorate the occasion with engagement gifts to each other
and maybe even with an engagement portrait.
If you receive engagement gifts, send out thank you cards.

Invitations

Once you have set your wedding date, this is also the time to choose and order your invitations and enclosures, envelope seals, thank you notes and postage. Check the post office for the love / wedding or other pretty stamps.

Reservations

Don't forget to make reservations for your Rehearsal luncheons or dinners and the hotel accommodations for your out of town guest.

The Added Touch

Surprise your out of town guests with memorable welcome gifts awaiting them at the hotel.

Attend to the ceremony needs and attire

Purchase your sign-in book and pen and appoint a special person to direct your guests to sign your guest sign-in book upon arrival at your wedding site.

Prepare and print programs and assign a special person to hand them out.

Make sure that the bride's wedding gown and accessories, the groom's attire and accessories and the attire and accessories for the mothers, fathers and wedding attendants accessories are ready. Secure the wedding site, (Chapel) and officiant and discuss your needs and theirs.

Don't forget to obtain your Marriage license.

Order the flowers (fresh or silk) for the bride, the groom, the wedding party and the flower children.

Order your Unity and other candles for the ceremony and your centerpiece candles for the reception. If you want very special and unique one-of-a-kind candles, you may consider custom designed personalized candles.Candles by Nily.

Choose memento gifts for the bridal party (Personalized gifts such as candles become treasured keepsakes and… they will never forget your anniversary.)

Have you chosen your Wedding rings?
Don't forget to purchase a ring bearer pillow and honor someone dear and special with being your rings bearer.

If you are Jewish, don't forget to order a Mazal-Tov Glass bag for the glass breaking ceremony.

Think about how to add your own personal touches you wish to add.

Secure the musicians, photographer, and videographer.

Treat yourself to a hand crafted bridal album if you can.

Transportation

Arrange for transportation to the wedding ceremony, from the ceremony to the reception and for after the reception

The Reception Needs

The reception site

Flowers, candles and centerpieces to decorate the reception hall and the tables Bar

Catering / food and drinks

Wedding cake

Music

I hope that this information will assist you and make your planning easier. Don't get panicky. Enjoy the preparation for your wedding. And keep mementos. When you have treasured keepsakes, you will look back to this day and you will smile and enjoy the memories.

Have a one-of-a-kind wedding day to remember and a happy and rewarding life together.
