Planning A Memorable Wedding

By Timothy R. Longwell


Living in the US makes one feel free - free to do anything, free to live, free to love, free from traditions. While this is true, there are still many practices done during wedding that renders this memorable event with a distinct American touch. Here are some:

Starting from the engagement, Americans can think of unique ways to personalize their wedding. As there really isn't any engagement tradition, the more unique the marriage proposal is done, the better. For most wedding preparations, the engaged couple visits their parents to inform them of their recent engagement.

Wedding Hall: Wedding hall locations is very important factor in wedding ceremony. If you are planning for wedding in summer or in any vacation period then it can be difficult for you to find the wedding hall according to your requirement.

The more guest you invite to the wedding, the more money you'll spend. You have to calculate your food budget based on a per-head cost for food and liquor. The type of meal you serve your guest is limited by your budget. For instance, seated dinners are more expensive than a buffet style dinners.

Some locations are more expensive than others. Certain cities such as New York and Los Angeles can be expensive, but far away places can be just as pricey due to high travel costs and the lack of competition.

Wedding Reception: Wedding reception could not be a headache if you have done little planning and preparation, you will have everything under control. You need to decide what menu to have in your wedding reception. Before you place an order know how many people you will be providing food.

Developing the wedding budget is challenging, and the bride and groom should work on it together. If your parents are footing part of the expenses, you have to involve them in the process too. Traditionally, the bride's family covers most of the expenses. Today, such tradition is not necessarily relevant. The bride and groom normally pay for most of the weddings.
