| We are getting married at a restaurant (out on their terrace) and then having our reception in one of their banquet rooms. The restaurant's dress code is business attire after 6 pm. Our ceremony will start at 4 pm, reception at 6 pm. This is all fine with me - I wanted somewhat formal/traditional attire for our guests, but I don't know how to tell people they need to wear business attire. Do you put that info in the invitation? On the RSVP card? Should we call everyone and tell them personally? |

| Put guidance on a separate card and send it with your wedding invitation. |

| I have never heard of an invitation saying anything other than "Black Tie" or "White Tie" when it comes to wedding attire. Why should you say "Business Attire" -- it's not a job interview! I would think that getting a printed wedding invitation, and the tone of the wording, implies that your guests should dress appropriately. If anything, I would personally tell people that you might not think would show up wearing suits, dresses, etc. I definitely would NOT put it on the invitation and would think it quite odd (if not slightly offensive) if someone felt they had to tell me how to dress for an occasion as special as a wedding. Do we have to tell people how to dress for funerals, baby showers, football parties, graduations, etc??? I think we should all know enough to dress up for a wedding! |

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.

Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake

Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
