While the two most important people at your wedding are you and the person you’re marrying, you also want all of your friends and family members to have a wonderful time. Since this is the day when you and your future spouse can celebrate your love with all the people who matter to you most, you may be feeling a lot of stress about wanting to make the day perfect. Although there’s simply no way to make the process of planning a wedding completely stress-free, the good news is there are a lot of ways to ensure that everyone who attends your wedding has a great time. If you’re trying to figure out exactly what you should do on your big day, here are five tips to keep in mind for your guests…
Start the Introductions Early
Not only is a wedding a time for you to officially come together with your partner, but it’s also an event that generally brings two different families and groups of friends together. While everyone is likely excited about the big day, there can still be some awkwardness in terms of breaking the ice. By taking the initiative and putting in some extra effort to do personal introductions during the rehearsal dinner, everyone will feel really comfortable with each other throughout the ceremony and reception.
Keep Toasts Short
While it’s nice to give your friends an opportunity to express their feelings about you, excessively long toasts can really slow down the momentum of a reception. Fortunately, you can prevent that from happening by making it known in advance that toasts should be kept short and sweet.
Just About Everyone Loves Coffee
Since you want your guests to have a really good time, you’ve probably already put some thought into how you’re going to handle the bar. But what many people overlook is that alcohol isn’t the only drink that can make a wedding really enjoyable. Whether a guest doesn’t drink alcohol or they need a little caffeine boost at some point in the night, having a mobile coffee bar at your Greater Cincinnati wedding is a great option. What’s nice about this addition to your reception is it will be just as fun for adults as it is for kids.
Load Up on Sweets
While you may have already tasted some different wedding cake options, don’t limit yourself to just that dessert. Whether you come up with a dessert menu on your own or opt for a dessert bar to complement the coffee bar you book, your guests’ taste buds will thank you!
Provide Accommodations for After the Reception
Some of your friends and family may be going back to their homes in Greater Cincinnati, while others may be staying at a local hotel. Since you want people to be able to really enjoy themselves, it’s definitely worth looking into what transportation options are available for getting everyone back safely. Planning a wedding and your reception creates a mixture of excitement and stress. But even though there may be times when you feel like you’re going to pull your hair out, as long as you keep the above tips in mind and keep reminding yourself how happy everyone is going to be on your big day, you’ll be able to really enjoy the process of planning everything.
