Your Day: Planning the Big Event

Share the wonderful news with your parents/guardians first. Involving both sets of parents from the beginning can make the planning process much more rewarding for everyone. If your families haven't met yet, arrange for them to meet for a casual brunch or dinner.

As you arrange the details of your wedding day remember to ask immediate and extended family members for suggestions, advice and help. You may find they have just the right idea for you. By doing this you'll also head off any potential problems or conflicts.

Music and Entertainment

Think of music as the soundtrack to your wedding. From the prelude at the ceremony to the final note at the reception, music plays an integral part of setting the atmosphere for your special day.

The type of affair you're having will set the stage for your reception entertainment. Your options include everything from multi-faceted dance orchestras, to smaller background ensembles, to DJs. The entertainment you select will be a major factor in creating the mood and dance excitement, so choose very carefully. Select your entertainment from a company that specializes in weddings and private parties.
