WEDDING & SPECIAL EVENT PREVIEW / Spring 2014 Pa
Weddings are a time to get dolled up. Though some gentlemenmay be tempted to wear the suit they wear to work, a formalevent necessitates something a bit more remarkable. When theweather is warm, some men may scoff at the idea of wearing a full suitor even a tuxedo. But just because a person is wearing pants and a jacketdoesnt mean the suit must be dark and heavy.
Although dark colors are traditional for weddings, dark, heavy fabricswill absorb the suns rays, making the groom and his groomsmen uncom-fortable. Even when a warm-weather wedding takes place largely indoors
where it is climate controlled, many couples choose to have the ceremonyoutdoors, where they pose for photographs as well. The groom and hisgroomsmen will want to be comfortable during these times, and the rightsuit and fabric can make all the difference.
Linen and cotton are all-natural fabrics that are made from plant fibers.They are much lighter weight than wool, and linen and cotton suits maybe more comfortable. But linen and cotton are highly prone to wrinkling,and a wrinkled suit will not present well in a formal setting. Cotton andlinen may be best reserved for informal weddings or those that will betaking place outdoors or beachside. Seersucker suits are made from cottonin a unique weaving pattern that lets air ventilate through the material.Seersucker suits may be most popular in the southeastern United States,
Lightweight wool may be a more comfortable option for grooms and theirgroomsmen at warm-weather weddings.

According to TheKnot.com, a Web site catering to couples planning their weddings,roses reign supreme among wedding flowers. Long considered a symbol of love,roses often play an integral role on wedding days as well as holidays like Valentines
Day or special events like a couples wedding anniversary. Couples embrace roses on theirwedding days not only to symbolize their love for one another, but also because roses are a ver-satile flower available in numerous solid colors and many bicolor varieties. Tulips are anotherpopular wedding flower. Also grown in a wide range of colors, tulips are often less expensivethan roses, though rare varieties of tulips will cost brides- and grooms-to-be a significantamount of money. Though less versatile than roses and tulips with regards to their color, calla
lily flowers are another popularchoice for weddings. Lily of thevalley, hydrangeas, the peony,and ranunculus are also popularwedding flowers. Though eachtype of flower is beautiful in its
own way, costs can vary consid-erably depending on the type offlowers couples choose for theirwedding, something cost-con-scious couples should considerbefore visiting florists.

Aflurry of congratulatory phone calls, socialmedia announcements and sparkling ringpictures all mean one thing: engagementseason has arrived. With approximately 39 percentof marriage proposals taking place between Thanks-giving and Valentines Day, engaged couples are tak-ing note of one of the fastest-growing nuptial trends- destination weddings.
These days, one in four weddings is a destinationwedding, giving couples and their guests a rea-son to blend the joy of a marriage celebration with afun and memorable vacation. Planning a destinationwedding suitable for all your attendees is easier than
you think, thanks to some key insights from MyrtleBeach-based expert wedding planner, Cheryl Cox.
1.Plan aheadCox says nine to 12 months is the optimum planning time, especially
for a destination wedding. Many couples start planning a destination wed-ding as soon as they get engaged. While the summer months are typi-cally most popular for couples, when choosing a date, Cox recommends
considering a Friday or weekday wedding, or planning the big day durthe less-crowded but still desirable shoulder seasons (spring and fall).
2. Select a destination that caters to all guestsConsider a location with something for everyone. Myrtle Beach, S
is the perfect example. The destination offers pristine greens for golf thusiasts, museums and historic plantations for cultural buffs, deliciCoastal Carolina cuisine for the foodies, fun in the sun with a day at
beach or one of the many water parks, and for brides looking for soquality time with the girls, numerous spas for a day of pampering. Pthere are plenty of lodging options for your guests including oceanfrresorts, beach home rentals and quaint bed and breakfasts.
3. Research ceremony locationsBeautiful and unique ceremony locations are one of the perks of hav
a destination wedding. Research wedding venues, travel and accommotion options, and rates, then rank the venues you like best, suggests CAs a Myrtle Beach wedding planner, she notes that the areas 60 milestunning coastline make the perfect romantic backdrop. Whether youlooking for a beachside wedding outside a charming beach home or at Myrtle Beach State Park, or a historic location like Litchfield PlantationPine Lakes Country Club, there are countless ceremony locations to cho
from. You can even tie the knot 200 feet above the ground on the MyBeach Skywheel. Visit www.visitmyrtlebeach.com for more informatio
5. Help guests plan activitiesTravel is the foundation for long-lasting memories. In fact, a rec
Harris Interactive survey found 62 percent of adults said their earlmemories were of family vacations taken when they were between agand 10. Help your guests - particularly families with young ones - getmost out of their trip by suggesting activities or even making reservatifor dinners, tee times, theme parks, museums, etc., before arrival.
6. Hire a wedding plannerPlanning a destination wedding doesnt need to be stressful - hir
wedding planner. Wedding planners know the local wedding professials and venues including the city regulations for beach weddings, s
Cox. The perfect beach wedding can be accomplished with the helpa wedding planner as they know the ins and outs of planning a beautbeach wedding so couples and their guests can enjoy the true beauty beachside wedding.
7. Consider a pre-wedding visitIf possible, attend a local wedding show to meet wedding professi
als one-on-one or plan a wedding planning trip to visit venues and mwith wedding vendors, Cox suggests. Remember to take notes so can recall all the details when youre back home.
8. Get wedding insuranceGive yourself peace of mind by purchasing the appropriate wedd
insurance. And, Cox notes, Research to find the best coverage for ywedding - I highly recommend it.
9. Be mindful of budgetStart your marriage off on the right financial foot by keeping your w
ding on-budget. Many couples planning destination weddings find them tsimilar or even more affordable than traditional weddings back home. MyBeach offers a variety of wedding venue options at various price pointsyou can have your dream beach wedding and still stay on a budget.
10. Enjoy!This is perhaps the most important step of all. Dont forget to enjoy
experience of planning this memorable day and enjoying the companyyour guests. Take pictures, sample cakes, pick out flowers and rememthese moments and the beautiful destination you selected. Z

Many couples find that tradition reigns supreme when plana weddings. Certain traditions, such as fathers walking tdaughters down the aisle and grooms sharing a dance with t
mothers at the reception, are moments to cherish. Though such tradithave withstood the test of time, couples still have some opportunitieembrace relatively recent traditions.
One such recent tradition is the save-the-date card, a precursor to wding invitations that simply lets guests know when the wedding is so can clear their calendars and be there on a couples big day. While save-
date cards are best kept simple, there are a few rules couples should fobefore sending their cards out to loved ones.
Finalize the guest listCouples must finalize their guest lists before sending their save-the-
cards. Doing so avoids the potentially messy situation that would no doarise if a person were to receive a save-the-date card but then not makefinal guest list. Trimming the guest list often comes down to financecouples also want to agree on their budget before sending out their sthe-date cards. Once the guest list has been finalized, couples can sendtheir save-the-date cards as soon as possible.
Conrm addresses.Couples should confirm their loved ones addresses before mailing
save-the-date cards. This can be easily accomplished by sending mass em
to friends and family members or contacting individuals via private msages sent on social media sites. Postage to send save-the-date cards cacostly, especially for couples with large guest lists. Confirming addrecan save couples money on potentially wasted postage should the cardreturned because they were sent to the wrong address. In addition, cfirming addresses ensures everyone gets their cards and no one feelsout when relatives receive cards and they dont because a couple didhave their correct address.
Keep things appropriate.Save-the-date cards need not be as formal as wedding invitations,
they should still be appropriate. Guests often keep save-the-date cardtheir refrigerators, where people of all ages can see the cards. So wcards can be light-hearted, they should still be family-friendly. For ex
ple, photos of the bride- and groom-to-be decked out in swimsuits shbe avoided.
Dont overdo it with information.Save-the-date cards dont need to include as much information as
more formal invitations, which tend to include information about the emony, reception, hotel, directions, and other relevant wedding detailsave-the-date card only needs to include the date of the wedding, incluthe month, day and year so guests are not confused if the cards are goout well in advance of the wedding day. Couples can include a link to twedding Web site on the backs of their save-the-date cards, which makeasier for guests to learn more details about the wedding without inuning them with information too early.

Couples about to tie the knot may be preoccupied with finding theright color palettes for their wedding days. While is has long been afavorite wedding day color, many couples are now looking for ways
to go green at their weddings, as more and more couples want to maketheir ceremonies as eco-friendly as possible.
While it might once have been difficult to make weddings environmen-tally friendly affairs, todays couples have many eco-friendly options attheir disposal. From hotels that use solar power to reception halls that relyon locally sourced foods, there are plenty of ways to turn weddings intoentertaining and eco-friendly affairs.
Reduce reliance on stationery.
Couples hoping to be more eco-conscious can cut back on the amountof paper they use at their weddings and throughout the planning process.Invitations can be printed on recycled stock, and couples can avoid usingthe envelope within an envelope that is often used when mailing weddinginvitations. Furthermore, reduce what you place inside the invitation, in-cluding direction cards. Have guests visit a Web site to learn about hotelaccommodations and respond to the wedding invite.
Choose earth-friendly fabrics.When selecting gowns and other attire, lean toward natural fabrics,
such as cotton, wool, hemp, or linen, each of which are eco-friendly.
Pick owers that are in-season.Much like produce, certain flowers are grown out of season with the
use of pesticides and herbicides. Imported flowers have high carbon foot-
prints due to the distance they have to travel. Cut down on how far flowershave to travel and the use of potentially harmful chemicals by buying lo-cally grown, in-season flowers.
Encourage guests to carpool to the wedding.You may want to make a flashy entrance at the ceremony, but you can
curb emissions by having as many people travel together as possible. Ditchthe sedan or limousine and rent a party bus that can fit many of your guests.
Rethink wedding favors.Instead of trinkets that are produced overseas and likely to end up in the
trash, opt for edible favors, seeds or plants or even donations to charitableorganizations.
Wearing earth-friendly fabrics and using locally grown flowersare just two ways to make weddings more eco-friendly affairs.

Acouples wedding day is the culmination of months and months
of planning. For most, it is one of the most memorable, magicaldays of their lives, filled with fond moments of time spent withclose friends and family.
As enjoyable as a wedding can be, most brides and grooms who havealready tied the knot can attest that a wedding is a long, often tiring day. Itis very easy for energy levels to wane. To ensure you have enough energy tolast through to the final good-bye of the evening, follow these suggestionsto remain energized.Recognize your wedding day is a very long day. Its possible to rise
quite early in the morning to begin prepping with makeup, hair styles,wardrobe and more. If the party is an evening reception, it could last un-til the wee hours of the morning. You may find yourself up for nearly 24hours, when the cameras will be flashing and the video rolling throughout.Naturally, youll want to look your best throughout.
Get a good nights sleep the night before. Get to bed early the nightbefore so you will get ample sleep and look rested. It is understandablethat nerves and excitement may get the best of you and make it difficultto fall asleep. If you often grow anxious and struggle to fall asleep beforebig events, talk to your doctor prior to the wedding to ask if you can beprescribed a one-time-only sleeping pill that will ensure you get to sleeppromptly. Do not take this medication with alcohol, and be sure to take itonly if you can get a full 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Otherwise you may experi-

ence medicine hangover.Enjoy a hearty breakfast. At breakfast on the morning of your w
ding, consume a combination of carbohydrates and protein. The carbs
provide the initial burst of energy you need to get going, and the protwill keep you feeling full. A combination of whole wheat toast, fresh fand Greek yogurt makes for a filling start to the day.Stay hydrated. Although drinking a lot of water can result in m
frequent trips to the bathroom-which can be cumbersome for brides wing their gowns-it is essential to stay hydrated. Dehydration can resulheadaches, weakness and dizziness and may make you feel cranky. Be sto consume water throughout the day.
Remembering to eat well and drink plenty of fluids can help couplesstay energized throughout their wedding days.

Agreat registry is the first step to plan-ning your happily ever after. As youmake your way to the I Dos, its alsoa time to plan for your new lives together. Fromhosting your first holiday dinner to lazy Sundays
on the couch, making your house a home startswith building a great registry.
It is your registry, so build it any way youwant to. Choose items that are right for you andyour soon-to-be. Go through the registry pro-cess together and enjoy it, recommends AudreyStavish, wedding and gift registry expert at BedBath & Beyond. Whether starting from scratchor blending households together, remember torelax, take your time and have fun.
Here are some additional tips to get youstarted: Visit a Store: Before you take the trip
down the aisle, take a trip down the aisle of the
store where you are registered. Missed some-thing the first time around? No problem. Manystores make the process convenient, allowingyou to update the registry at any point, bothin-store and online. Be sure to get up close andpersonal with the items that go on your regis-try. Touch the towels, hold the cookware-in fact,
most brides make multiple visits to a store andthe website.Keep it Convenient: Where you register is
important. Ask friends, family and co-workersabout their registry experiences. Start a wedding
registry as soon as you say yes. That way, guestshave options for engagement gifts and showers. Ask the Experts: Its easy to get over-
whelmed when registering. Need help decidingbetween ceramic or stainless steel cookware?Dont forget to ask the registry expert! Fromthe time a couple starts the registry process,until theyve walked down the aisle, dedicatedregistry consultants can help you be better in-formed about your choices and make the processfun and stress-free.Dream Big, Register Bigger: Register for
at least twice as many gifts as the number ofguests at the wedding. Friends and family will
rely on the registry for special events leading upto the wedding, including engagement parties,showers and holidays.
Guests will appreciate choices in a widerange of price points and categories. Also, dontshy away from high priced items like a set of All-Clad cookware-these make great group gifts, as
does formal tableware, like fine china by Lencrystal by Waterford and flatware

Chococakes covered with autumn hued flowers go over well at fall weddings Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting:Red velvet cake

Red velvet has quickly become the new classic, avibrant red coloring offers a shock of something different, while the flis mild for those who are not comfortable taking risks. The richnesscreaminess of cream cheese is irresistible. White cake with chocolate mousse: Couples who want a b
chocolate but do not want to be overwhelmed can select a white that is filled with light and rich chocolate mousse. Its the perfect blenvanilla and chocolate for guests who enjoy both. Variety tiers: Those who cannot settle on just one flavor can h

Brides- and grooms-to-be who have specific flavors in mind cantheir bakers to include two cupcakes with the wedding cake.

In addition, an assortment of cupcakes in lieu of one cakegive guests the opportunity to sample several different flavors.
Cakes are a part of many special events, but few cakes are fawned as much as wedding cakes. Couples can spice things up by choosing a ntraditional flavor combination. Z

Every couple wants their wedding to be memorable.The goal of planning a wedding is to create an ex-perience that everyone will remember for years to
come. For some couples, a theme wedding is the best way toaccomplish just that.
When it comes time to select a theme, the day the wed-ding takes place may dictate the theme. For example, if thewedding takes place on Halloween, the ideas for the themeare easy. Many other couples choose a theme that highlights aspecific interest or hobby or something that is dear to them. Here are some
popular wedding themes.Holiday:
The Christmas season lends itself well to wedding planning.

Destination/activity showers:Rather than having guests hang around a restaurant watching gift a
gift get unwrapped, some bridal parties opt to throw an activity showThese showers are focused around a particular activity. For example, lamay be treated to a day at the spa. Other ideas include horseback ridina stable or a day at the ballpark. Because hosting an activity shower for dens of people may get expensive, these types of showers may be reserfor only your closest friends and family members.
Bride-involved showers:The idea of walking into a room and being surprised by friends
family members is appealing to some brides-to-be but not everyone. Sobrides prefer not to be surprised by a shower and actually would likhave a role in the planning of the party. However, this is delicate groon which to tread, considering there may be differences over whereparty is held and even the overall experience of the party. These typshowers should be discussed before any plans are made, and tasks shobe delegated in accordance with those plans.
It is customary for a bridal shower to take place before a weddBut new trends have emerged that are shaking up the way showersplanned and held.
Gifts are stillimportant, but
new trendsin wedding
showers haveshifted the
focus of these
events.
Rain showers on a wedding day may bring good luck, but they areseldom coveted. However, a different type of shower altogetheris often highly anticipated and can help couples feel like theyre
one in a million.Wedding showers are gift-giving parties held for couples about to get
married. The custom began in the nineteenth century and continues to
present day, primarily in North America and Australia. Guests traditionallyshower the bride-to-be with all the necessities (and some fun extras) thatshe will need after she ties the knot. These gifts will help the soon-to-be-married couple establish a home together.
Bridal showers are steeped in tradition, but todays bridal showers con-tinue to veer off the beaten path. Nowadays, bridal showers feature fun andgames much like a party having nothing to do with a wedding. TheKnot.com, a website that aims to help couples plan their weddings and all theevents leading up to the big day, identifies these key trends in modernbridal showers.
Couples showers:Modern couples who like to be all-inclusive are now planning bridal
showers that cater to mixed audiences. Dubbed a couple shower, theseparties include female and male friends and relatives. Gifts are still themain focus of the event, but theyre varied and include guy-friendly itemswithin the mix of household goods.
Power showers:Many are familiar with the terms man cave and bromance, but few
may know that there are now wedding showers geared entirely around thegroom. Known as power showers, these events focus on the groom-to-be, who is showered with a bevy of gadgets and power tools that are certainto stock his future garage. The parties are decidedly more testosterone-friendly and can include golf outings, poker nights or action movie flicksas possible themes.

Many couples find themselves bom-barded with questions the momentthey become engaged, and perhaps no
questions is more common than, When is the
wedding? Although a number of couples wouldprefer to bask in the excitement of their engage-ment, some couples feel pressured to rush intopicking a wedding date. Choosing a weddingdate without giving it much consideration maymake things more difficult down the road. Rath-er than jumping head first into any decisions,couples should give thought to any and all datesand decide if there are certain times of the yearthey want to tie the knot or avoid.
SeasonWhen thinking about potential wedding
dates, it helps to have a place to start. Some
couples find it helpful to start with a particularseason and then narrow it down from there. De-cide if you prefer the lush greenery of summeror the amazing color spectrum of an autumnafternoon. Perhaps you envision arriving at theceremony with a snow-packed landscape amidtwinkling holiday lights? Think about the seasonwhen you feel most happy and then determine if
that time of year is doable.
MonthCertain months may seem
perfect, but not for busy profes-sionals or those with limited va-cation time at their disposal. Forexample, early spring may notbe good for accountants tallyingyear-end numbers. Teachers mayfeel most comfortable tying theknot in the summer when theyalready have days off. If you runa pool business or a lawn mainte-nance company, then the summermight not be so good. Keep thesefactors in mind.
HolidaysSome people would like to tietheir wedding day to a particularholiday. Valentines Day is popularfor weddings thanks to the romantic sentimentssynonymous with the holiday, while some cou-ples prefer Halloween or Christmas weddings.Holiday weddings can be exciting, but they also
produce significant obstacles that couples wchoose to get married during other times of ydont have to worry about. Guests may not w

Few events are more photographedthan weddings. Needless to say,
wedding participants, from bridesand grooms to the couples parents, hope tolook their best for the celebrations. Womenoften find that well applied cosmetics canenhance their beauty and help ensure theyare picture-perfect.
The key to wedding makeup is finding abalance between application that will comeacross well in person and will look good inphotographs. Professional makeup artistsmay understand just how heavy a hand touse to apply makeup, but the novice do-it-yourselfer may need some instruction tomaster wedding day makeup.
Very often the key to wedding makeupis simplicity. Brides want their best featuresenhanced and have the makeup add to theirbeauty rather than outshine it. Brides wantguests to notice their faces and gowns andnot their makeup. Here are some other tipsbrides can employ in an ef-fort to put their best facesforward. Begin preparations a
few days prior to the wed-ding. If you will be enhanc-ing your skin color with aspray-tan, do so at least two
days prior to the wedding. Bythe third day the color willset and appear more natural.The same idea applies to yourbrows. Tweezing, waxing andthreading can create irritation and redness. Have your brows profession-ally shaped a few days before the wedding and then do a minor touch-upwith your tweezers the night before. This allows your skin to recover andredness to dissipate.Start out with well hydrated and moisturized skin. Apply a few layers
of moisturizer, preferably one with an SPF if you will be spending time outin the sun. When the moisturizer is completely absorbed and dry, use a skinpriming product that will help keep your foundation locked into place.Match your foundation color to your natural skin color. When these
colors dont match, your face may look like it is a separate shade fromyour neck and decolletage. If you will be tanning, then find a shade thatmatches the tanned color. A foundation that has slightly yellow undertoneswill even out redness on the face and look better in photos. Apply thefoundation thoroughly with a sponge or brush and be sure to blend it wellat your neckline. Set the foundation with a matte powder.Apply concealer to red spots or undereye circles after the foundation.
Aim for a creamy, emollient concealer for under the eyes. A peach colorthat will contrast with the purple and blue tones of your eyelids workswell. Putting on the concealer after the foundation means you will prob-ably need less and wont look like youre caked with product.
Use an eyebrow pencil or powder tin your brows. This is a must for your wed
day and can really help to frame your eyes.small, light flicks of the pencil rather than strokes to make the color blend naturally.a brush to blend in further. Always go a sor two lighter than your natural color. Fwith a gel that will set the hairs into place Complement your lips and eyes. M
brides like to play up their eyes on their wding days. If you are going for a dramatic opt for a more neutral lip, and vice versa. Oerwise, you may look like youre wearing makeup. Neutral colors look best for weddand will not appear dated in photos. Sticsubtle browns and taupes for universal fla

Place a maksponge behind your lashes when applying mascara so you dont risk hiyour lids with the mascara wand. If you will be using false lashes, athem now. Err on the shorter side for fake lashes, and cut them as neto fit your eye. Lashes that are too long or full may appear cartoonishcan be uncomfortable to wear. Connect your lashes together with the ones with another application of mascara. Waterproof mascara will holthrough tears of joy.
Be subtle with blush. Use subtle blush in a peach-pink coloachieve that blushing bride appearance. Smile and apply the blush onthe apples of your cheeks.Choose a long-lasting lip color that will hold up through kisses
smiles. Lip stains work very well, as they provide that hint of colorwear well during the day. Another helpful tip is to perform a practiceprior to the wedding, taking some photographs to see how the maklooks in pictures. Cameras and flashes can wash out makeup, so sometyou need to apply just a little bit more than usual for it to show ufilm. Also, certain makeup products will reflect light more. Dont forgstock up on oil-blotting papers to touch up your face during the day.

Wedding date
to travel or spend time away from their families to attend a holiday wding. Having a wedding during a holiday may mean competing for vendand reception spaces. Prices on everything from food to flowers to airtickets could be higher as vendors cash in on customer demand.
Day of the weekIts less expensive for couples to get married on Fridays and Sund
than Saturday afternoons or evenings. Couples may think that the mosaved will be well worth it, but they also should think about how this dsion may affect their guests. A Friday wedding requires people to takefrom work or school. Sunday weddings may be slightly more convenibut those who have to get back to work on Monday may be tired from lnight festivities. Couples should anticipate some guests not making itheir weddings when those weddings are not on Saturdays.
Religious constraintsCouples having religious ceremonies should consult with their houof worship as to which dates are acceptable. Some will not have weddon days of religious observation. It is wise to consult with a church, sygogue or mosque before booking any other components of the weddinthat you are certain your chosen day is acceptable.
Any available datesYour wedding date may be dictated by your caterer or wedding ha
you have a particular venue in mind, you may be limited by their availaity. This is a concession you will need to make if your heart is set on particular location. Planning a wedding can be exciting. But the ball canget rolling until couples first choose the day they will tie the knot.Z

You want a gift thatis personal, unique and, above all else,something they will actually use. Manynewlyweds need to build their kitchensupplies, plus with the foodie trend still going strong, you cant go wrongwith food- and cooking-themed gifts.
Instead of gifting a blender or new pots and pans, think outside the giftbox and create a basket of premium spices. A good set of spices makes animmediate difference in any kitchen - high quality cinnamon, paprika or
even salt and pepper, for example, bring an impressive new level of flavorto any meal. Its also fun for newlyweds to explore spices together. Theycan create new combinations for both old and new dishes to learn whichflavors they, as a new couple, deem to be their favorites.
When selecting spices for gifting, look for natural and organic spices.You want your gift to communicate your best wishes for the happy cou-ples health while giving them a true taste of why high standards matter.Here are some top spices the experts recommend:
Step 1: Start with staplesTo properly build a spice rack, you must have a good selection of co
monly used staples. Great staple spices include basil, bay leaves, cayenchives, cinnamon, cumin, garlic powder, marjoram, oregano, paprparsley, pepper, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme, turmeric and, of cou
salt and black pepper.Step 2: Add spice blends
Ready-to-use spice blends are quick and convenient ways to add flato foods, and theyre perfect for cooks learning their way in the kitchPopular spice blends include all-purpose seasoning, chili powder, cupowder, Italian seasoning, Mexican seasoning and pumpkin pie spice.

Stay Energized
Pack some snacks. The time between breakfast and the cocktail hourof a wedding may be significant. In your wedding survival kit, be sureto pack some easy snacks to eat. Trail mix can be nibbled for a boost ofenergy, and a banana can take the edge off of hunger pangs. Avoid anythingmessy that can drip onto clothing or get stuck in your teeth. Arrange to have
snacks stowed in the limousine or another mode of transportation so thatyou can refuel on the way to the ceremony or in transit to the reception.Dont overdo it with caffeine. It may be tempting to lean on an en-
ergy drink or a super-size cup of coffee to give you the boost you need. Butcaffeine is only a temporary fix. After the effects of the caffeine wear off,you could find yourself more tired than before and crash at an inopportunetime during the day. Instead, a brisk walk outdoors may recharge yourbatteries. Afterward, time spent on the dance floor enjoying the receptionwill likely stimulate some adrenaline to keep you going.Eat dinner. When family is beckoning and the photographer needs to
get yet another pose, it is easy to skip dinner. Be firm with your decisionto enjoy your meal. After all, you paid for it and it should not go to waste.Besides, sitting down to dinner enables you to rest and absorb the atmo-sphere of the wedding.Continue to drink plenty of water throughout the night. Alcoholic
beverages may be flowing, but too many spirits can compromise your en-ergy levels. Be sure to balance the booze with hydrating fluids, such aswater or juice. Weddings take up the entire day, and it can be easy to suc-cumb to a lack of energy as the day progresses. But by heeding a few tips,its possible to remain in top form throughout the entire wedding day.

Toasting the bride andgroom at a weddingreception is a respon-
sibility that typically falls on theshoulders of the brides father aswell as the best man and the maid of honor. Though it is an honor to a wedding toast, it also can be nerve-wracking, as no one wants to gitoast thats memorable for all the wrong reasons.
While the best toasts are often those that veer off the beaten path, cing from the heart rather than from a how-to guide found on the Interthere is a certain formula men and women can follow to ensure their tocover all of the appropriate bases without offending the bridal partfellow guests.Acknowledge the guests. Families are more geographically div
than ever before, so more and more weddings host guests who come ffar and wide to celebrate with happy couples on their wedding dayscustomary for men and women making wedding toasts to acknowlthe guests, thanking them for being there. This is often a great way for men and maids of honor to break the ice and calm their nerves, especat larger weddings where they may only know a small percentage oguests. When thanking the guests, be sure to thank the parents of the band groom as well. Explain your relationship to the bride and/or groom. Best men
maids of honor should devote a portion of their toasts to explaining t
personal relationships with the bride and/or groom. Introduce youand explain how you met the bride or groom. Oftentimes, such stohave a comical twist that can further calm your nerves.Aim for a jovial toast. Wedding toasts are typically given at the w
ding reception, when guests and the bridal party are ready to celebrSuch an atmosphere lends itself to a jovial toast wherein best men maids of honor focus on happy times with the bride and groom. Tfunny anecdote that illustrates the special bond you have with the bridgroom. When choosing a story to tell, remember to keep things approate for guests of all ages, including young children.Steer clear of alcohol before giving your toast. Many people ove
dulge in alcohol at wedding receptions, but best men and maids of hoshould avoid consuming alcohol until after they have toasted the bridegroom. Horror stories about drunken, inappropriate wedding toasts
seem more like an urban legend than a legitimate possibility, but the dency for alcohol to lower peoples inhibitions makes it dangerous for and women to consume it before giving their toasts.Give your best wishes to the bride and groom before raising y
glass. Raising your glass to toast the bride and groom is often the lastbefore your toasting duties officially end. But before you raise your gremember to offer your best wishes to both the bride and groom. Othose sentiments have been expressed, ask the guests to raise their glaand toast the newlyweds.
Toasting happy couples at their wedding receptions can be stressfubest men and maids of honor who are unaccustomed to speaking in frolarge groups of people. But following a certain formula and speaking fthe heart will ensure such toasts go off without a hitch. Z

Wedding invitations often provide guests with a first glimpse ofa weddings style. Invitations also may serve as the means bywhich distant friends and relatives find out about a couples
pending nuptials if a formal announcement was not made.Amid the flourishes of calligraphy and impressive paper stock is infor-
mation that speaks to the importance of the day when two people will bejoining their lives together. Guests will learn not only the time and theplace of the wedding from the invitation, but also the formality of theevent and the scope of the party that will follow.
Couples should keep certain things in mind as they begin to design theirwedding invitations.
Have a good idea of your potential guest list.Before shopping for wedding invitations, it is key to have a strong idea
of just how big the wedding will be and how many guests will be invited.This way you will know how many invitations you will need. Invitationsvary in price, so cost may be a consideration if your guest list is extensive.
Decide on the formality of the wedding.Will you be hosting a black tie affair, or will it be a casual gathering
at the shore? Guests infer many things about the wedding from the in-vitations, which should match the formality of the event in style and thesentiments expressed. An ornate invitation written with classic wordingsuggests a more formal affair, while a whimsical invitation with less formalwording could indicate a more laid-back event.
Dare to be different by playing with invitationsizes and shapes.Rectangular cards are standard for wedding invitations, but you can ex-
plore your creativity by choosing more modern, artsy invitations. Circularinvites or scalloped edges can add some whimsy to the wedding mood. In-vitations that fold out or are embellished with ribbon or other decorationscan be appealing. Just keep in mind that cards that are not the standardshape and size could be more costly to send. Always have the entire wed-ding invitation weighed and priced at the post office so you will know whatthe postage will cost.
Choose a legible font and text color.Your invitation may look beautiful, but it may prove ineffective if it is
difficult to read. Do not risk guests misinterpreting the date or the location
because they cannot read the writing on the invitation. Steer clear of paor yellow text colors, and remember to have a high contrast betweencolor of the invitation and the text you are using for easy reading.
Keep the invitation simple.It may be tempting to load the invitation with lots of information,
all you really need are the key pieces of information, such as the whwhat, where, and when. Crowding the card will take away fromaesthetic appeal. Most stationers will suggest a separate, smaller inserthe wedding invitation for the reception information and response cNever put information such as where you are registered or no kidslowed. This is material better reserved for word of mouth or on a weddWeb site.
Do some math.It is important to know your dates so you can receive the invitation
time, mail them out, and give guests enough time to respond. A good of thumb is to mail out the invitations at least two months before the wding. Have an RSVP date of no more than three to four weeks beforewedding, giving ample time to the caterers and accommodating anywho procrastinates in sending in a response. You will need the final hecount in order to confirm seating arrangements and plan for centerpieand favors.
Handwrite the envelopes.Your invitation will look more impressive if you address them by ha
rather than printing them off of a computer. If your handwriting is very neat, consider hiring a professional calligrapher to write out yenvelopes.
Make it easy for guests to respond.Be sure to place a stamp on the response card envelope and have
envelope already addressed with your home address so that guests have no excuses not to mail a response back promptly.
Always order extra.Mistakes happen, and you may need to send out a few extra invitat
that you hadnt originally counted. Always order extra invitations, jusbe on the safe side. And dont forget you will probably want to keep as a keepsake for yourself.

Planning a perfect wedding is no small undertaking. From scheing venues and hiring vendors to tasting menus, lots of decismust be made when planning a wedding. But when the piecesinto place, the entire day can be magical.
One of the final components of weddings are the favors guests will home with them as mementos of the festivities. Though favors dontquire immediate attention, that does not mean couples should wait uthe last minute to made decisions regarding their wedding favors.
Brides-and grooms-to-be should not underestimate the importanchanding out wedding favors, a tradition with a rich history. A wedfavor is considered a symbol of good will to guests, and there are mdifferent wedding favors on the market. Finding the right one can talittle work. It is usually a good idea to find something that suits the thof the wedding and is both long-lasting and practical. Try to avoid anytthat is too kitschy.
A couples budget should be considered when choosing wedding favA couple may want to give their guests lavish gifts but should only do their budget allows. It may be challenging for couples to find favors thathe theme of their wedding, as well as their own personalities and budgBut it can be done. The following are some favor-finding guidelines.
Be creativeWedding favors can be just about anything, so theres no need to s
to Jordan almonds or wine bottle stoppers. The more creative couplesthe more receptive their guests will likely be. For example, for an aututheme wedding, fill mason jars with the ingredients for a spiced cake give the recipe directions on a tag. For a summer wedding, gift guests wa sun and surf survival bag, full of sunblock, a beach towel and sunglas
Complete the themeSome weddings follow a particular theme from star t to finish, and w
ding favors should stick with that theme. Couples who will showcase tlove of travel on their wedding days may want to give guests keychor purse holders that feature popular landmarks around the world. Thwho are admitted beach bums may want to present a small fishbowl wsand and a goldfish inside, reminiscent of days at the seashore.
Go traditionalCouples who opt for universally appealing favors can lean toward s
popular options, such as silver cake servers, candlestick holders, dective photo frames, or engraved keepsake boxes. Aim for favors that hutility. Otherwise, favors may end up collecting dust on someones sh
Food and beverage gifts are funFood favors mean guests can enjoy their gifts and not have to wo
about finding space inside their homes to display trinkets. Food favorsbe lavishly decorated cookies, fine chocolates, petit fours, small bottlechampagne or cupcakes decorated like the wedding cake.
Favors are often integral to wedding celebrations. Selecting a favorwill be appreciated and fit with the wedding is often a fun and stress-part of planning a wedding. Z
