One of the critical step during wedding music planning
is to decide the type of music to be played, and who
will perform it, a live band or a DJ.

Regardless of a live band or a DJ, your goal is

to hire the right person(s) for the job to

enliven your wedding. On the one hand, you want to have

competent and skilled professionals, but on the other

hand you don’t want to pay more than you should.
Achieving this goal will reduce a lot of involved in the
wedding planning.

Here then are the top three tips you should keep in mind

before hiring a performer for your big day.

1. See them perform in person.
   
2. Have in writing the name of the performer.
   
3. Narrow down the chosen ones.

It’s ideal if you are able to see the candidates
perform live before committing to their services.
One of the best way to do this is to watch bands or DJs
at your friends or family members’ wedding.
If not then remember that most of the live bands or DJs
gain their reputation by performing at various weddings.
Ask them for the referrals and check with their past clients.

Make sure that the signed contract specifies the exact
name(s) of those who will be performing at your wedding.
Usually this is not a problem with a live band. However
sometimes popular DJs are not able to perform at all
committed weddings. In such a case, he or she may resell
your party to another DJ. Also, a very poular DJ may have
other less experienced DJs working for him. Protect yourself
by a written contract.

Try to narrow the search from 3 to 5 candidates,

just for comparision, before making your final decision.

Remember, time is critical. You don’t want running

around, trying to get the “best” performers in town.

You will find that there’re lots of DJs or bands available

in the area. If you find a referral from friends or family

members then it would be ideal. You can then ask your
friends to borrow a copy of their wedding. If not then

you have to contact the locals, but the key here is to ask

them for a sample tape or a recorded video.

Besides the three tips above, always obtain a detailed
contract that specifies all of the details agreed between

you and the performers.

Before the big day, the wedding, there are usually parties held
in celebration of the bride. First, determine what type of party
(or parties) you’d like to have and then, if necessary, plan a
theme. Be sure to keep in mind that the bride and/or her
bridesmaids may have financial or time constraints. Nothing is
more stressful than worrying about whether or not you can afford
all the festivities, or if your schedule can allow them.

Ideally, you should choose one or two and the planners should
discuss them with the other parties involved. Whatever decisions
are made, ensure that everyone feels comfortable with the
arrangements and that nobody feels a sense of obligation to
reciprocate. That is, if the bridesmaids hold a luncheon, the
bride should not feel duty-bound to also hold a luncheon if her
wedding budget won’t allow it. Remember that this is a happy
time, a celebratory time, and additional strain must be avoided.

Once you’ve decided a budget and taken dates and times into
consideration, there are several parties to choose from:

Luncheon given by the bridesmaids to honor the bride

This party is usually brunch or a luncheon. The best day for it,
is the day of shopping for bridesmaids dresses, though any day
that suits everyone’s schedule will work as well. No gifts are
given but all the bridesmaids make toasts to wish the bride
happiness in her new life. The mothers of the bride and groom
are invited to this event, in which case, they will also make
toasts to the bride.

Luncheon given by the bride to honor the bridesmaids

This is usually given the day of the final fitting, a few days
before the wedding. While this may be breakfast, lunch or
dinner, the latter may be the best choice so that nobody is
worried of feeling overfull while being fitted. It is
traditional for the bride to give each of her bridesmaids a
small gift - a bracelet or earrings to wear on the wedding day -
but if this isn’t cost effective, then small handmade gifts are
appropriate.

Luncheon given by the mother-in-law

This one is hosted by the groom’s mother, in her home, and while
the bride and her mother are both invited, the hostess has the
option of inviting either the bridesmaids or matrons
(grandmothers, great-grandmothers) of both families. Gifts are
not given at this party.

The bridal shower

This is the party given to help a new bride establish her home.
For younger women who may still be living with their parents, or
who haven’t been on their own very long, the gifts are usually
geared toward setting up her household. Examples are kitchen
utensils, linens, towels, etc. For older women, who perhaps
don’t need the same types of gifts, themed parties work best.
For example, try holding a “Recipe Party” where each guest
donates a favorite recipe and the ingredients necessary to make
the dish. Or make it a “Pampered Princess Party” where all the
gifts are “indulgent.” Chocolates, bubble bath, and candles are
good gifts, as are gift certificates for a massage or a manicure.

The bachelorette party

The maid of honor is responsible for organizing this party.
Generally, this is a non-gift party, but has increasingly become
a somewhat “raunchy” event in that the bride receives gifts of
lingerie and other such “intimate” gifts and toys. It is usually
held in a bar or series of bars or, if in someone’s home, exotic
dancers are hired. While this type of party seems to be quite
popular, many brides would prefer not to have one. Although some
will go along with it for the sake of their friends, most such
women, deeply in love enough to marry their beloved, don’t want
or need “one last wild night.” The bridesmaids who arrange these
parties are likely to enjoy them far more than the bride, who is
supposed to be the one being honored. Before planning such an
event, make sure it’s what the bride wants. If she says no to
it, respect her decision and plan a luncheon instead.

The pajama party

These are gaining popularity with the younger women, especially
when conforming to traditional protocols seems too stuffy for
the times, or they just don’t suit the bride’s personality. This
party is given by either the bride or the maid of honor. It
begins with “chick flicks” that have a love or wedding theme.
Pajamas are worn and standard pajama party fare is served, i.e.,
potato chips, popcorn, and pizza; though wine or coolers usually
replace the soda pop of childhood parties. Come prepared with
curling irons, nail polish, makeup, CDs of good dance music, and
fashion magazines. If the bride hosts the party, the maid of
honor should stay behind to help with clean-up in the morning.
Gifts aren’t usually given, but if they will be at this party,
the presents should be small, simple items, such as makeup or
nail polish.

Any or all of these parties are open to modifications. For
example, more and more couples are having shared parties: the
bachelor/bachelorette party includes the bride and groom, and
all their friends; and the bridal shower is now the “bride and
groom shower.” At this party, men and women attend, and the
gifts are not only items for the house, but the garage and
garden too.

Keep budgets, schedules, and the bride’s personality (and
groom’s if applicable) in mind when planning any event, and feel
free to be creative. Remember, this is a time of celebration and
that above all, the bride should feel as stress-free as
possible. If necessary, and if your budget allows it, hire
caterers; or, if the best thing would be to forego all the
pre-parties, then let go of the guilt and instead, prepare to
have a great time at the wedding. After all, that’s the one
party the bride is most excited about anyway.

In the Southeastern United States we find the gorgeous peninsula
state of Florida. Florida is known for its beautiful beaches,
abundant citrus orchards, the thrilling Everglades, as well as
its reputation as a favorite place for retirees to enjoy the
rest of their days relaxing in the sun. Florida is also home to
fabulous and exciting attractions like Disneyworld, Universal
Studios, the Epcot Center, and the world famous speedway at
Daytona Beach, home of the Daytona 500 auto race. The beaches of
Florida are also an exciting and romantic location for young
couples to hold their wedding ceremonies. Florida beach weddings
are particularly popular in the area of St. Petersburg and
Clearwater. Together these cities host about 8,500 weddings
annually.

Part of the reason for the popularity of this area for weddings
is the number of options available for couples that are seeking
romantic places for their weddings. In addition to weddings held
along their glorious Florida beaches, weddings are held in
botanical gardens, at the base of a lighthouse overlooking Tampa
Bay, and numerous other exotic locations. Since so many choices
are available, it’s no surprise that this part of Florida have
become so popular for beach weddings.

Florida beach weddings are an ideal choice for those planning a
romantic destination wedding. Most of the weddings offered at
the Florida beaches and other locations are designed with
romance and privacy in mind. Most are geared toward small
ceremonies. “Perfect for 2 to 52,” boasts one company’s
advertisements. Package prices range from the truly affordable
to the incredibly extravagant, but there’s definitely something
for every conceivable budget.

Attending a wedding on the Florida beach is truly an experience.
The combination of sun, sand, and beautiful ocean waves fill the
air with a spark of romance. As you watch your friends recite
their vows amongst the natural splendor of the Florida beach,
you can’t help but feel the passion between them and be moved.

The couple holding a Florida beach wedding is truly providing a
treat for themselves and their guests alike. The memories
created here will last a lifetime for everyone involved.

When planning a destination wedding, Florida is a choice you may
not have considered. Do yourself a favor and look into it. The
many chapels and wedding service companies offer attractive
packages for their Florida beach weddings, including everything
from photographers to marriage licensing appointments, with no
detail left unaccounted for. Contacting your travel agent can
help you determine whether a Florida beach wedding is within
your budget, but in most cases a wedding like this will cost far
less than a traditional wedding at home. The romantic difference
and the savings certainly make the Florida beach wedding a
viable romantic alternative. You’ll remember your beautiful
wedding for a lifetime, no matter where the ceremony actually
takes place. By marrying in a romantic location like the
breathtaking beaches of Florida you will make your entire
wedding experience just that much more special and memorable,
treating yourself, your spouse, and your guests to the wedding
of a lifetime.

Generally, wedding cakes are is the conventional cake being
dished up to the guests at the breakfast after the wedding. It
is characterized as a huge cake, different from the usual cakes
we have on ordinary occasions. In most cases, wedding cakes are
layered or multi-layered and are heftily decorated with icing,
beads, and other embellishments that would reflect the grandiose
of the event. On the top is a small image of a bride and groom.

Wedding cakes can go from the simplest to the most complex
decorations; each has its own artistic distinctions depending on
the creative juices of the baker. They should conform to the
main purpose of the cake, that whatever embellishments it
possess, it can still be edible and can be eaten.

Because the wedding cake is such an important part in the
wedding celebration, here are some tips you need to know in case
you will be buying a wedding cake in the future.

1. Check on the length of time required for you in ordering your
wedding cake.

Time is such an important factor when making wedding plans. Of
course, you would not want your wedding be hurriedly done or
rushed. Because the wedding cake is a part of the wedding plan,
it is important to devote an appropriate time in ordering
wedding cakes.

It is best to ask your favorite bakeshop on the time frame that
they usually give with regards to wedding cake so that you can
make early orders if it will take such a long time to create
your wedding cake. In this way, you will not be in a hurry
coming up with a wedding cake to be served on your wedding day.

2. Verify the details of the cake and its cost.

A lot of couples are so fascinated with the luscious treats that
go with their wedding cake. What they do not know is that each
embellishment and every twists and turns embedded in the cake
has a price.

Therefore, it would be better to clear it out with your baker
how much will be the cost of every decoration are added features
you wish to add on your wedding cake.

3. Tell your baker about the details of your wedding.

In today’s modern world, weddings are not just done in the
church. A lot of ideas had come up in terms of wedding venues.
Therefore, if ever you have any plans of having your wedding by
the beach or anywhere else where it is open, it would be better
to inform your baker about this.

In most cases, icings are vulnerable to environmental hazards.
So, if the baker knows that your wedding will be a garden
wedding or a wedding by the beach, he could make such
arrangements with your cake in order to endure the environmental
conditions where it will be placed.

4. In a budget? Why not decorate your own wedding cake.

It is not so uncommon nowadays to find somebody decorating his
or her own wedding cake. In fact, it is a feasible idea
especially to those who have a very tight budget.

All you have to do is to order a plain wedding cake and buy the
decorations from the retail stores.

So, set aside some special decisive moment when it comes to your
wedding cake because there would be no better way to glamorize
your wedding than to have a perfectly made wedding cake.

Wedding planning truly is an art and that’s why many brides pay someone to organise every last detail, right down to writing the wedding invitations! Some brides even take a year off work to plan their big day! This is pretty extreme and not really necessary, but some brides feel they need this time to alleviate some of the pressure and stress. In fact, wedding planning can be a most enjoyable experience if handled the correct way.

Firstly, you must appreciate that organising a wedding is hard work and needs to be carefully prepared. Buy yourself a book or folder - this will become your bible of all things weddingy for the next year or so. Keep all your ideas, magazine cuttings, deadlines, phone numbers and wedding invitation replies in this, your wedding planning folder.

Once a date has been agreed, you need to get a dress chosen and ordered. It is worth noting that some wedding dresses can take up to 15 months! Now you must make a list of all the things that have to be done for your wedding, for example:

Have wedding cake made and decorated

Send out wedding invitations

Book photographer

Book church

Decide on honeymoon

Order wedding favours

Choose flowers

Take out wedding insurance

Agree on groomsmen and bridesmaids

Decide which items are immediate [e.g. things that need to be prepared in advance, such as ordering the wedding invitations or booking the church]. Then, draw up a 12-month schedule and insert each job into a month. Of course, the more immediate actions will need to be addressed in the first few months, whereas ordering wedding favours may wait until later on.

It would be a good idea to make a copy for your fiance and for your bridal party. Involving others in your wedding planning will make them feel more included as well as taking pressure off yourself. For example, you may put your chief bridesmaid in charge of wedding invitations - ordering them, writing them and sending them out.

Next you should agree a budget. Very few brides actually stick to their budget but you should put some ideas down on paper and try to keep to your original quote as best you can. Include payment deadlines in your schedule so you know which payments are going out of your account each month. This way, you can spread your bills and not be hit all at once.

If you keep up with your schedule and remain organised each month, wedding planning can be great fun - as it should be. By completing small tasks regularly you won’t feel out of control or stressed and everything should fall into place. Good luck!

Is the traditional bridal bouquet toss not for you? Many modern gals are ditching
this traditional altogether, and looking for new variations and interpretations. Many
women see the bouquet toss as pressure, and hate the implication that single
women are chomping at the bit to be married.

Here are six alternatives to the traditional bridal bouquet toss that will make
everyone happy:

• Wish Come True Bouquet Toss — Invite all the women onto the dance
  floor, married and single. Ask them all to make a wish right as the bouquet is
  tossed and whoever catches it will get their wish.
• Fortune Bouquet Toss — Invite everyone onto the dance floor and
  have a bouquet that consists of several small bunches of flowers are simply held
  together in your hand. On each bunch, have a handwritten “fortune” attached to it
  that you made up. When you throw the flower bunches in the air, they break apart
  so several people will get a “fortune” bouquet. Before throwing a break apart
  bouquet make sure they are easily separated and not entwined together so they
  really do break apart in the air.
• Longest Married Bouquet Toss — Invite all married couples onto the
  dance floor and have the DJ announce that everyone married less than 5 years to
  leave, then less than 10 years to leave and so on until the couple married the
  longest is left dancing and they are awarded with the bouquet. Keep in mind that
  this may not be the right bouquet toss for you, especially if you have a recently
  deceased grandparent that would have been married the longest if they were still
  living. This also focuses on married people and leaves out the single folks.
• Special Honors Bouquet Toss — Split up the bouquet into halves and
  give one half to your mother and one to your mother-in-law. The bridal bouquet
  could also be presented to grandparents, split apart for all the women in the bridal
  party, presented to your maid of honor, your sisters, a friend who is engaged, etc.
  Think of someone you’d like to honor and give it to them as a “good luck”
  bouquet.
• Favors Toss — Instead of tossing flowers, toss the wedding favors!
  Much like candy being tossed in a parade you can toss small or soft favors to the
  guests. Children can help in the fun, and everybody has a chance to get something.
  Candy, small stuffed animals, silly toys and gift cards are good choices.
• Gift Cards & Money Bouquet Toss — Rather than have fortunes
  attached to a break away bouquet, why not attach gift cards (from coffee shops,
  record stores, etc) to your bridal bouquet! Rolled up $1-$20 bills is also fun for
  everyone. You can invite everyone onto the dance floor, men and women alike.
  
  So rather than skip the bridal bouquet toss entirely, why not start your own
  tradition? Unusual tosses can be explained by your DJ, an appointed person or
  written in your program. Choose a bridal bouquet toss that is meaningful to you
  and don’t be afraid to simply present it to someone you care about.

Looking for a beach theme wedding cake ideas?

When it comes to wedding cakes, long gone are the days of
following tradition. Since you are considering a beach theme
wedding cake, you are obviously not a slave to those traditions.
So… let’s stray from the “norm” and be adventurous!

One thing to remember… there are no rules! If there are…
well, rules are made to be broken. Your beachtheme wedding cake
can be anything you want it to be!

What Size?

How many guests are you planning to have? If you have your cake
made professionally it can range in price anywhere from $2.00 to
$15.00 per slice. A “slice” is normally considered to be 2
ounces or, approximately 4″ x 2″. The range in price will depend
on how much intricate detail you want on it. If the cake you
choose is very labor intensive, you can expect higher prices. If
you are on a tight budget, keep it simple!

What Shape?

A beach theme wedding cake can be any size, shape or
description. Be creative. If you have an idea for your cake,
sketch it out on paper and take it to that talented friend,
relative or your chosen bakery. If you can imagine it, someone
can make it!

Do not limit your thinking to a two or three tier cake. It can
be round, square, a sheet cake, a sculpted cake, individual mini
cakes, cupcakes or even cookies! Some brides even choose a one
or two layer, individual wedding cake on each guest table rather
than the traditional large cake at the head table. This is a
nice idea because it also serves as the table centerpiece. This
eliminates the added expense associated with having a wedding
centerpiece at each table!

A couple of things to keep in mind though…

* Since your reception may be on the beach, consider the sun! If
you are having a dawn or dusk ceremony, heat from the sun will
probably not be a major factor. However, if you are having your
wedding midday, consider an “ornamental” cake. By that I mean,
not edible with the exception of perhaps the bottom layer if you
and the groom plan to cut it. You don’t want your creation to
melt!

* Consider draping your cake in a decorative manner with tulle
to keep the bugs and sand out of it. It would be beautiful yet
practical.

* Purchase decorative, individual cake boxes. Fill them and
perhaps tie your wedding program or thank you to them with
ribbon. Keep them in a cooler until time to pass them out to
your guests. They will serve as your wedding favor, killing two
birds with one stone!

* Make your own beach theme wedding cake! Look inside the next
“DuncanHines” cake mix you buy. The instruction for making
baking tiered cakesare in there! You can do it. If you can’t,
I’ll bet you know a friend who could! In EVERY town there is a
friend or a “friend of a friend” who makes beautiful wedding
cakes. It’s a hobby for them. They love doing it! Of course they
still want to be paid, but not the ridiculous prices that a
professional will charge you.

So…go… find that friend!

Are you over the age of 35 and looking for a life partner? Do you want a committed relationship rather than a fling?

Most clients come to coaching looking for a permament, lasting relationship, but are confused about the conflicting messages they receive from dating partners.

There are questions you can ask and signs that you can look for that will tell you if a man is serious about love.

What are the questions you should ask?

Very early in the dating relationship, you need to ask the person what they want and how they envision their life in the future. Most people will tell you the truth. If someone says they aren’t ready for a committed relationship, believe them. If they tell you they have had multiple marriages or partners, ask what kind of personal growth venues they have sought in order to understand their behavior and patterns.

What if you meet someone on the Internet?

Lots of great people have met each other on the Internet. However, without knowing the history of someone, and without knowing their friends and family, you need a certain length of time before you really understand them. Take a year to see them with their close acquaintances and family, and go through the holidays to get a clear picture of who they are. Along with that information, ask the person about their dating and relationship history.

What are some of the warning signs that someone has no intention of ever being committed?

Unfounded jealousy is often a sign that he is doing something that he is not proud of. Other signs are, if he does not want to take you to meet his friends and family; if he does not want to talk about his work; he is always late; and if he can’t give you a commitment about what you will be doing next week.

No one is perfect nor is anyone expected to be. But how your potential love interest responds to your questions; what he does with his life; and what values he lives by, speak loudly to the commitment issue.

It is important that you understand and believe that you deserve a commitment if you want one. Women who are in committed relationships are in them because they insisted upon it. They were not willing to drift along, accepting less than what they wanted to give and have.

Meeting the love of your life takes work. Don’t give up. He’s out there. And…you don’t have to settle for a fling.

When you’re planning a wedding, you don’t want to forget the
gift table. Not only will this be covered with your presents and
money gifts, but it will also be out in the open. And although
you don’t want to think that anything could happen, you might
want to put a few precautions in place.

Better to be safe

The gift table is best kept safe by being out in the open, where
everyone can see it. You might want the deejay next to it, or at
least nearby, because people will be going up that way all
evening.

However, you also want to keep the gift table somewhere where
your guests can find it to deposit their gifts or cards. A nice
slit top box works well for cards (maybe you could put a locked
tin inside so that no one can peek except you) and a card table
with a table cloth is fine for the wrapped gifts.

You may also want to have the guest registry next to the gift
table so that you have an idea of how many presents should be
there when you finally get to opening them. If there seems to be
a discrepancy, then you will be able to find out if something
was lost or stolen.

What to do with the gifts at the end of the night

You will need to have a plan or someone in place to take care of
the gifts once the reception is over. You may want to enlist one
of the members of your bridal party to load them into their car
and drive them to the hotel, or perhaps, a parent can take them
in order to have a brunch the next morning–where you open the
gifts for everyone.

Either way, you will want to store them somewhere safe. It’s
generally not a good idea to leave them in a car overnight.
First of all, a car is easily broken into and two, you don’t
know if the gifts are sensitive to temperature changes. You
don’t want to ruin anything.

The gift table is just another detail that you want to be aware
of. Most of the time, there are no problems with people
upsetting the gifts or raiding the envelopes, but if it makes
you feel better to have a back up plan in place, go right ahead.
