Unassurance
Well this is my first blog. I never really understood or got into blogging, but since this is for my class and for my fellow classmates to read then I can get with it. Well allot of things have been on my mind lately..... I am getting married April 16th of next year and have yet to get anything together. Luckly, my loving stepmother is use to planning weddings and I have all her help and support. I had alot of people ask me will I cry at my wedding, I really don't see why. I know it's an emotional time for everyone, cause who would have thought I would have found the love of my life. Little did I know, he was under my nose since I was in the 9th grade. I always had this big idea that if I haven't met anyone and married by time I turned 30, well then I wasn't looking anymore. Glad I'm just 24 years old. LOL....I would love to receive any feedback about going by getting the cake and invitations. Anything to do with marriage. Also would like some feedback on my blog. How did I do for my first time? Please be honest!!! :)

I'm going to jump right in and critique your blog first. I would have to say that everyone should proof read their blog before they post it. When you spell check it doesn't correct the grammar. Otherwise the layout is great.
ReplyDeleteNow planning a wedding is easy when you know what you want. Do you have a budget? Do you have a venue? What will they do for you: set up, clean up, table linens, table centerpieces, etc...Invitations? invitations should set a tone for you wedding. Inside? Outside? Thank you cards should be part of your order when you get the invitations. (you want to make sure everyone gets a thank you card for their gift). Have you purchased your wedding dress yet? You need to have plenty of time for this purchase, you will be shopping a lot. You'll know it when you find the right dress to so don't rush.
Make sure you have set an appointment with your hair dresser about how you will wear your hair,this should be done a few weeks before the wedding day so you can have some time to decide. She will need to know how many girls are going to get their hair done by her or her salon so she knows how much time is needed on your special day.
The food! People WILL remember what you fed them. You can make this part of your reception by serving food from your heritage or foods that you and your husband to be have experienced on trips you have taken.
Always expect the unexpected. Have something different happen every 30 minutes. (change the lighting or the music).
Being a great bride means that you are also a great host to your party. Take the time to talk to every guest and let them know how much it means to you that they are a part of your special day. Some ways to do this are receiving lines, toast and be sure to visit tables before during and after dining.
Most of all have a wonderful time. This event will only happen once and you want it to be joyful.
I wish you enough...
First of all, congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. Reading what Ande posted, I was taken aback about all the things that have to be done and I hadn't thought of. She is a true planner and had some great tips to follow. It is a pleasure to hear you like your future mother-in-law, so many times that is not the case. Allow her to be part of your planning, but make sure everything is as you want it and noone else. This is your special time and all the help you are able to get takes a little pressure off from you. Good luck in your planning and keep us posted.

Michele,
ReplyDeleteBlogs are about whatever you want. There is no wrong way to write a blog. You tell what you know and you share about yourself. Your first post was what it should be and because of it, we know you a little bit better. Congrats on your upcoming marriage!
