There are more than one hundred thousand wedding ceremonies that are performed here each year. This destination is best for those who are open-minded because you will not be able to have a traditional wedding here. Las Vegas has become very popular place for couples that want a quick wedding. Apart from the unique experience, there are some advantages of getting married in Las Vegas. These include:

It is affordable

A wedding in Vegas will only cost you some few hundred dollars unlike a traditional one that runs into thousands of dollars.

The time

Most wedding chapels usually require you to book early to avoid disappointments but in Vegas you only need to give a short notice and sometimes all you have to do is walk in to a chapel and get married.

It is convenient

The hotels in Las Vegas have wedding coordinators who can help you make sure that everything goes right during your wedding. You can arrange for all this over the phone or over the Internet.

Excitement

Getting married in Vegas is a fun way of doing things because the atmosphere is relaxed and you do not have to follow any procedures.

Everything is in reach

When you get married in Las Vegas, you do not need to travel to another destination for your honeymoon. This is because there are so many places nearby that you can have your honeymoon.

As good as a wedding in Las Vegas is there are some disadvantages you should bear in mind. These include:

You determine how it goes

There are no manuals on how to carry out weddings in Las Vegas and therefore your decisions will determine how it goes. The packages offered are not elaborate and the details are never emphasized on.

Traveling expenses for your guests

Some of the people that you invite for your wedding may find it a problem to travel all the way to Vegas. This means that only a few people will be able to attend. This can turn out to be a good thing if you wanted to leave out some of them from the ceremony. For those who want most of the family and friends to attend this is not the best option for you.

Receptions

Las Vegas does not offer much when it comes to places to hold wedding receptions. The best thing would be to find a private room in one of the many restaurants and hold the reception there.

If you choose to have you wedding there, make sure that you arrive early so that you can apply for a marriage license. You have to be over the age of eighteen to get a license and the charge is only 55 dollars. The best place to choose is a hotel with a casino because they offer you the best services. Choose to have a wedding in Las Vegas today and enjoy the unique benefits.

 When it comes to your wedding budget, it seems that all the advice you are given centers around how to save money, but do you know where you can actually spend money & splurge on your wedding? Before you reach for your check book, here are some tips on which aspects of your day are worth spending more money on.

1. Wedding Photography

Its a sad fact but all your hard work will be a distant memory the day after your wedding. Your cake will be no more, the flowers wilted & your dress back in its cover & hanging in the closet. But your photographs will live on long after the last of the champagne has been drunk. Your wedding photos are your souvenir of your day & a reminder of all the hard you put in, as well as how fabulous you all look & how wonderful it was. So it is worth spending more of the wedding budget on a top notch photographer to make sure your photos document every aspect of your day.

Be a bit savvy & shop around for the best photographer you can find. Make sure they are someone you feel comfortable with & can fit with your budget. Ask about packages which are often good value for money, but make sure you take a good look at what is offered & swap out anything you dont like or want. Deluxe wedding albums, websites & other novelty items all seem like a definite must have, but they wont make your pictures any nicer than they already are & can add a considerable amount to the price. Ask to see previous work, be sure that any editing carried out, such as re-touching, cropping & printing are better than you could do yourself! Make sure you will get a set of pictures printed by the photographer & ask about getting a CD with your pictures on so your can get re-prints for family & friends.

2. Your Wedding Dress and Appearance

Lets face it, for many of us some days are better than others. Ever had that feeling when you wake up in the morning that nothing is going to look or feel right & the day will just be miserable? Then the next day you wake up feeling bright & breezy & everything is perfect & right with the world. Your wedding day should definitely be the latter, you want to walk down the aisle feeling confident & fabulous. Feeling on top of the world during your wedding day will not only help you get through the day with a smile on your face but will also come through in your photographs. With this in mind dont be tempted to go out & buy the cheapest wedding dress you can find. Spend more money on getting the dress of your dreams & one which will make you feel a million dollars the second you put it on. Dont skimp on your accessories, shoes or make-up either. Cheap versions here could let down your dress & spoil your whole look. Dont forget the groom either. You need him to look his best too, so splurge a bit on his suit or tuxedo as well.

But be wise, the most expensive dress in the store is not necessarily the right one. Check out sales, sample sales & discount stores for the best deals. Dont dismiss second hand gowns either. Ebay is often full of designer gowns at bargain prices.

3. The Right Wedding Officiant

When you really think about it, your wedding is all about the two of you & the way in which you say I do. Therefore your ceremony is the most important part of the day, the reception afterwards is just the cherry on the top & nothing more than just a celebration of the fact you both just said I do! So when you come to choose your officiant pick wisely. Make it is someone you are comfortable with & can get along with. Make sure they share your beliefs & are prepared to give you the ceremony you both want. If you already know someone but need to fly them in, then so be it or take the time to find someone locally.

If you find the perfect ceremony location but dont like the officiant provided there, then dont be afraid to ask about bringing in your own.

4. Your Sanity

There is little doubt that planning a wedding is a stressful experience. The pressures on you both to create the perfect wedding seem immense & at times it can all get too much to bear. So make room in your budget for some things that will help you to relax & take a break from all the plans & all the details. If you need to hire a wedding planner or coordinator, do so. A good wedding planner is worth their weight in gold & they can take a lot of the pressure off. Another option is to just splurge on a day at the spa with a friend. Remember that being relaxed on your wedding day is more important than the color of the ribbon on the favors!

Taking time out to relax doesnt have to cost the earth though. Delegate some of the tasks on your planning list to family & friends, you dont have to do everything yourself!

5. Whats Most Important to You

Take some time to consider the finer details & what is important to you both. Perhaps you dream of having a fireworks display or a luxurious chocolate wedding cake. It is your wedding & you should make exception for those little details that will make the day special for you.

When you fill out your budget planner remember that in order to accommodate those special little touches you will have to reduce the budget in other areas. There are other ways to include special details to your day, think about personal wedding readings or borrowing family heirlooms such as your mothers jewelry or wedding veil.

 Seating plans are an important part of your reception planning and should be done after all your guests are confirmed and you know exactly how many are coming. Deciding on where your guests are going to sit should be a fun task, but dont leave it till the last minute, draw up your plan about a week before the day so that you will still have time for any last minute changes.

Seating plans will help your guests quickly find their seats at the reception and will help ensure everyone has a place. Drawing up a plan means you can sit people together who will get on well or apart if you think they wont! Harmony is the key here. You dont want arguments or heated discussions breaking out in the middle of your meal!

When drawing up your seating plan, begin by writing down all the guests names and table numbers on separate pieces of paper. Spread the table numbers out on a table and start by placing guests on each table. Move them around until you are happy with what will work. This will take time so allow an evening or afternoon to do it.

Think about where you want your top table positioned. Traditionally the top table is a long table placed so that all other guests can see it. However, you may decide on a round table in the center of the room.

Consideration should be given to any elderly guests, who may appreciate being seated away from any entertainment which you may have. Also if you are inviting children consider having a separate table for them. Whilst young children are best seated with their parents, older children may appreciate a table of their own. Cover it with a paper table cloth and pots of coloring pencils to keep them occupied.

When it comes to arranging your top table it is traditional for the parents of the bride and groom to sit with them. If for any reason this wont work you may have to consider an alternative option. Your bridesmaids and best man should also be seated on the top table. When thinking about the top table, work out what will suit you best and what will keep everyone happy, whether that keeps with tradition or not.

It is important you think of all your guests individually and give consideration as to who you think they will get along with. If you are concerned about people not getting along, sit them far apart. Your wedding should not become the time to settle feuds or force people in to getting along with each other.

Finally put your seating plan together on a large piece of cardboard. Print out each table number with a list of guests names underneath it and arrange them on the board as the tables are laid out in the room. You can get someone to do this for you and some stationers will provide this service. Your seating plan will be displayed at the entrance to the room where your meal will be held.

 It’s your wedding, do it your way and forget about the rest, right? If you plan to make a few people unhappy and quite a few more wondering where your manners are, then that is the way to go.

Although we do not want to think or talk about it, wedding etiquette is essential. At this very important time in your life, you want everyone to know who you are and what kind of life you are planning to live. The way that you present yourself here is the way they will see you as a couple.

Even if you do not care much about what they do and think, it is still essential for you to find a way to make them feel welcome into your life.

Not To Worry, It’s Not Hard!

The hardest part of wedding etiquette is learning about it. That you will do here. The easy part is doing it. There are very few things that are too hard to accommodate. Besides, a wedding is all about pomp and circumstance, so why not lay it all out there?

Wedding etiquette may seem like a difficult process but once you learn a few facts about it and how to easily execute it, you will be well on your way to pleasing your guests, your parents and even find yourself enjoying it all!

Worries Relieved

Another benefit of following the right etiquette for your wedding is that you can avoid problems like these:

- You forgot to invite someone to your wedding and now, they are upset with you!

- You do not know how to properly announce your wedding. Should you put it in the newspaper or send an announcement in the mail?

- Who should you invite to your wedding shower?

- Is it okay to do a gift registry for your wedding? If so, should you put expensive items on it? Does it imply that you want gifts?

- What should you do about guests that are out of town? Is it up to you to provide for them?

- Who’s going to pay for what? Should your bridesmaids pay for their dresses? Should you fork over the money for gifts?

- Who should throw your bridal shower?

- Is email an acceptable form of thank you notes for your gifts?

There are plenty of things that are big ‘ifs’ and since most of us only get married one time, it is rather difficult to actually determine what the right way to go is.

That’s why you need to take some time now to determine what the right way to handle these and other circumstances for your wedding is. When you handle them correctly, no one has hurt feelings, has to do too much and you don’t look bad.

Wedding etiquette also shows respect and understanding for others. By doing what you can to provide for these things, you show those that you are inviting how much you really do care for them.
