Secrets For A Perfect Wedding Day

After months of wedding plans the big day will be staring you right in the face and you could be a nervous wreck. It is normal for you to be worried that something could go wrong at the last minute with your reception or that you will not look perfect when you walk down the aisle.

Your reception fears are relatively easy to handle. While you might consider your reception to be an important part of your entire wedding, it is, in reality, a fancy party. What makes a party successful?

Plenty of food and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for the duration of your reception will sooth your anxiety some. People get testy and start leaving parties early if the food and drink are slow to arrive or not abundant.

If children are part of your guest list, make sure that you have a good assortment of finger foods and soft drinks. Ice cream in cups might be a good idea, too.

There will be times when your guests are just marking time, waiting for you and your new husband to finish with the wedding photo shoot after the ceremony and, perhaps, when you both are changing clothes before leaving for your honeymoon. You will need entertainment to keep them from being bored and getting restless. There’s several easy ways to do this.

Besides the band or disk jockey providing music, have members of your wedding party or families get the guests involved in quiet activities while they are snacking and waiting. Simple games are the best option. Have small tablets and pencils at each place setting and have your helper ask everyone to write down their favourite crazy thing either one of you did when you were kids. Go around the room and have each guest read what they wrote.

Another option is to ask them to write down all the details they know about each one of you, like where you met, when you first kissed, favorite music, sports, etc. As before, go around the room for a reading. If someone is video taping this, give it to the couple at the end of the reception.

There are a few simple remedies you can use if you get up on your wedding day and your eyes are sore, irritated or puffy. Irritated eyes can be relieved if you soak a cotton ball in cold milk and place it over your eyes for a few minutes. Wipe the milk off your eyes with a warm, wet cloth.

If your eyes are puffy, run cold water over a metal spoon until it is cold. Place the spoon on your puffy areas for a minute. If you don’t get relief, dip the spoon in ice water and do it again. Cold, wet teabags will also reduce the puffiness.

Make sure you use waterproof makeup on your wedding day. Tears of joy are very common and waterproof makeup, particularly mascara, will keep your face looking beautiful. If you should shed a few tears, don’t wipe your eyes, but dab them at the corners of your eyes with a tissue. Before you enter the chapel, tuck a tissue in your bouquet or inside your long sleeves so you have it handy when you need it.

Concealers will adequately cover up an unexpected pimple or blemish and do double duty with dark rings under your eyes. Consult a makeup artist for the best choices for shades. They might suggest using two concealers of complimentary shades to give your eyes the sparkle you want.

Your wedding should be as beautiful as you want it to be with some advance planning for the unexpected.
