Weekend weddings are becoming more popular, particularly in families are spread further apart. Usually begins on Friday night, go to the wedding on Saturday and after the wedding breakfast on Sunday before everyone returns home.
Planning action in relation to the weekend-long celebration need not be difficult, in fact, may be a lot of fun if you keep all of your needs in mind. First, consider marriage. Is this a formal wedding with sit down dinner at its center? If so, you might want to ban formal rehearsal dinner and instead replace it with an informal dinner with barbecue or picnic.
But how do you intend to keep people occupied during the long weekend? There are many steps to consider. The wedding will be near the lake? How about planning day at the lake on Saturday, completed the pre-wedding activities such as swimming races and volleyball on the beach.
One popular pre-wedding activity is the Scavenger Hunt. Before the wedding weekend, the list of significant items should be drawn up, and guests placed in two teams. The list should include, inter alia, “obtained from brochures jewelry store, where (groom) bought (bride) ’s Ring” or “take a picture of this group in the place where the couple is involved.” You’ll have to adjust the Scavenger Hunt list to the location of the wedding guests and energy, who will participate.
You can even offer lavish rewards for the team that wins the Scavenger Hunt, such as gift certificates or gourmet food and wine baskets. Perhaps it seems an obvious choice to divide into groups of teams, who know or are related to the bride and teams who know or are related to the groom, but may be a little more fun to mix it up a bit. You can create teams with friends, compared with the family, compared to men or women (always a popular choice).
Other activities, which are often in the course of the weekend wedding is a competitive sport activities, such as baseball or flag football. Again, you must add a special twist. Offer rewards for performance (the first home run gets a kiss from the bride), or make stupid rules, as party members have to vow to wear while driving Tiaras scratch or members of his family in the groom should always have their shirts on backwards.
It is important that during the weekend wedding, planners note that the weekend may be costly for some visitors, especially those who had to fly in relation to a number of occasions and activities should be free or inexpensive. If they are more expensive, and planned for the whole group, should be paid by one of the bride and groom or their families.
But there are many steps that need not be expensive, but can provide big bang for little Buck, such as suggested above Scavenger Hunt. If wedding guests weekend will be mainly the family, you can schedule a home movie-watching events, including home movies from both the bride and groom families. For even more fun, consider the activity, where movies are mixed and guests have to guess that families are watching movies. This may sound easy, but, depending on the content, it may be difficult, especially when the bride and groom are children in the photos.
