A wedding day has so many elements to organise it can feel like a never-ending list of tasks, priorities and booking forms.
However, although the day is essentially for the couple to enjoy and celebrate their love with friends and family it can be easy to overlook a few points which would make the day easier and more fun to enjoy for your wedding guests.
Taking Photographs Check beforehand with the wedding venue if photographs are allowed.
Sometimes a church will allow the professional photographer, but not all the congregation.
It might also be the couples request not to have flashes going off through the exchanging of the vows.
If there is a particular photo request let the photographer know beforehand so one person can take the shot instead of 15 relatives all fighting for that perfect spot.
Some churches will say beforehand when cameras can be used so make sure all your guests know this before they start clicking away..
Car Parking If there is restricted parking or spaces are limited make sure all the guests know this.
Provide maps and any nearby carparks when you send out the wedding invitations.
Is there an option for guests to share cars maybe and reduce the need for spaces.
If there are restrictions then advise your guests to avoid them getting their car clamped or incur a fine...
something no one wants to remember your wedding day for.
Cash Machines Hotel venues might stand a good chance of having a cash machine on site for any guests wanting to get money on the night.
If not, make sure your guests know this beforehand to avoid problems with having to drive into town or search all night for a cash machine.
It might also be advisable to confirm with the hotel on any charges for withdrawing cash that your guests might need to consider before relying on the cash machine.
Hotels Nearby and Taxis Include information on local hotels and taxi companies so guests staying overnight have a rough idea of hotels and accommodation to choose from.
They will also be able to book taxis in advance in appropriate and generally your guests will feel more informed and can plan ahead.
Security Finally, you will be getting a lot of cards and gifts throughout the day and the evening reception.
It is critical you appoint someone who can look after these gifts and if possible take the box home with them.
Unfortunately, a wedding is a target for thieves as guests are relaxed and the last thing the bride and groom are thinking about is a security box.
Try and keep the box in view at all times so your guests will feel safe with leaving a card or present and maybe even explain that the money is being taken off site so they will have peace of mind.
