Decor for your wedding

Having a small intimate wedding?  Consider using cube seating instead of chairs.  Using a circular set up allows guests to have a great chance of witnessing the ceremony.

Think of your Guests

If you are planning an outdoor wedding consider the comfort of your guests.  Ladies love wearing heels, but heels are not always compatible with the great outdoors.  Purchase a large basket, fill with different sizes of flip flops and add a note inviting guests to grab a pair.  Your thoughtfulness will be greatly appreciated.

Fight Box

On your wedding day you and your groom are so much in love and it may be hard to imagine that you will ever fight, but you will.  Create a "Fight Box" for the time when you need reminding of the reason you married in the first place.

Before your wedding day, gather a wooden box, a bottle of your favorite wine and two glasses.  Write love notes to each other, explaining your feelings as you prepare to start your new life together as husband and wife.  Seal your letter without letting your soon to be read what you've written.

During your ceremony, place the love notes inside the wooden box with the wine and glasses.  Take turns hammering the box shut, one nail at a time, until the box is sealed.

Agree to keep the box sealed until a special anniversary, like your 10th or 20th, unless you hit a rough patch.  Then break open the box, pour the wine, read the letter, and remember what it's all about.
