G for GUEST LIST ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Compi

G for GUEST LIST
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Compiling your wedding guest list is probably one of the first things you'll do when you start wedding planning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For some couples, it's a straight-forward process, for others, well, it's a lot less clear-cut. When it comes to asking yourself who do have to invite to your wedding, there are no hard and fast rules. Remember it is your day!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But here a few tips to help you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Start with those people you simply can't imagine getting married without - the Desert Island Discs of wedding guests. Sit down and ask yourselves, "If we decided we were going to get married tomorrow morning, who would we call first?"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next who the special people you'd love to spend your wedding day with, and are important to you to have there, but it wouldn't ruin your day if they couldn't make it at the last minute.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There will be many of guest you would like to ask but often you need to consider will your venue or budget allow for it. And there are always the guest you feel you need to ask!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It might be helpful to remember that, whether you're having 20 wedding guests or 220, there has to be a line drawn in the sand somewhere. Some people make the cut, and some people don't - it's tricky no matter what. By upping your guest list by 50, the goal posts may have changed, but the tough decisions are still there!

F is for FUNKY FURNITURE
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am often asked about adding unique twists to weddings and one area you do this is by using unique pieces of furniture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to bring an unexpected touch to your décor, look no further than some funky wedding furniture. Versatile and fun, furniture can do double duty for many wedding staples, serving as a standout piece that enhances your theme while fulfilling another purpose — think a fireplace for an altar, a desk for a cake table, or a dresser for an escort card display.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wedding furniture can also bring touches that your wedding wouldn’t have otherwise, such as a ceremony entrance with a set of doors or an inviting sofas for a chill out zone.

E is to EAT ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No Matter

E is to EAT
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No Matter What,,, You Must Eat.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So often brides and grooms do not eat on their wedding day. So much is happening that food is the last thing on their mind!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A wedding day is a very long day indeed. And you don't want your growling stomach to steal the show.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always suggest a good breakfast, and take a short break before you put on your dress to nosh on some protein and light carbs and fruit to give you the energy to get through the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also ensure that one of the catering staff are allocated to look after the bride and groom. Remember you have spent time carefully choosing what canapes and dinner to serve to your guests (very often your favourite foods) and you really don't want to miss out on your choices!

D is for DON'T assume ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

D is for DON'T assume
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Continuing with the not so obvious top tips for newly engaged couples is D for Don't.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a wedding planner I have learnt a lot and seen many beautiful couples getting married and having magical days with their friends and family.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What their guest don't see, is the journey we have had together in the months building up to the wedding. I hold my couples hands a huge amount during the "wedmin" rollercoaster and offer guide, support and advice on so many aspects not just the obvious.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An important piece of advice is DON'T assume...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t assume you know what the other person wants.
One wedding myth is that men don’t care about wedding planning and women have everything planned before they even get engaged! This simply is not true.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a big day for both of you, and you both should have a stake in the outcome.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A good way to start is to make separate lists of your personal priorities and vision for the day. Then sit down, exchange your lists.. It’s very likely you both won’t be able to get exactly what you want, especially if you both care deeply about one part of the day but have different visions, but now you’ll be able to come to a compromise. Or, you’ll find out that you both care about different aspects of the day and you both can get what you want! Either way, you both should come away from the conversation feeling heard and understood.
