Check with your “important people” prior to setting the wedding date to be sure they do not have commitments that cannot be changed.
Consider checking with your local tourism office to advise you of any major events that are happening on the date you’re considering, which may affect hotel availability.

You may want to assign someone to snap photos of guests as they arrive. After the wedding, sign the photo with your wedding date and mail it. What a special thank you note!

Show a slide presentation of the couple during the first dance and include friends and family.
Have you thought about passing a notebook around the reception so guests can doodle a special message to the couple?

Always, always, always ask for referrals from your bridal services and call them. Taking time to look at photos of prior weddings the businesses have done will answer a lot of your questions.
