A weekend wedding is full of fun, similar to a mini-vacation with the love of your life, your family and close buddies. The fun and excitement begin right from Friday late afternoon, and goes on till Sunday evening leaving everyone happy and gratified. It is important to understand that a weekend-long marriage needs more preparation than a single wedding day arrangement. Planning all the activities, décor, and food and making sure all your guests are comfortable and having a merry time.
We bring to you some easy and fun arrangements that will ensure you have the best weekend wedding.
1. Designing an elaborate invitation card:
Once you’ve decided what all activities would be included in the 2-day long wedding, it is time to tell your folks, and friends all the exciting elements of the wedding. Create a designer wedding cards invitation that would have all the important events throughout the wedding and if they need to carry clothes for a particular theme party, disco night or so. Make sure you mention the time and event names in the card.
2. Finalize a location:
Make sure you book a small resort or hotel for the wedding. All the guests staying at the same place would make the entire wedding plan convenient and easy to manage. If accommodation is a problem, then you can arrange for your guest’s stay at any nearby hotel asking for discounted rates. You might also get good offers for hotel accommodations since the stay would be for multiple days.
3. Hire a wedding planner:
Since it’s a weekend long wedding, there will be a lot to manage, and hence instead of running behind guests and other facilitators, it is well advised to hire a wedding planner. Discuss with him/her what exactly the events would be like, and let him coordinate with the caterer, the florists, and other important individuals. Make sure both the couple, as well as their family members are free to take part and enjoy the various activities of the marriage.
4. Design a wedding website:
A website for a weekend wedding might be important as it can give intricate details of the planned activities. You can also mention the dress code for every event, and the menu along with the any city safari tour. This will make it easy for the guests to plan their dresses and ensure they know about the fun and excitement they can look forward to on the weekend. Surprises if any should not be included in the website.
5. Welcome the guests with gift baskets:
Greet your guests with personalized gift baskets or small favor bags. These baskets can have their favorite green tea bags, refreshments, body wash, chocolates and candies for the kids, books, city tour booklets, etc. Such act will make sure that the guests feel at home, and look forward to a great time on your wedding.
