Wedding Receptions - Maximise party time & ease stress.There are several ways in which you can maximise your enjoyment and minimise your stress at your wedding reception. Your wedding is a huge day, starting early and finishing late. Anything you can do to lessen the burden will allow you more time and head space for the party to follow. It is a day filled with "firsts". You are the centre of attention from beginning to end. People that are not accustomed to public speaking are asked to speak, posing and smiling in front of a horde of "Papparazzi" and much more. Will your wedding day fulfil your expectations and will everything go according to plan? All these things will go through your head and if you're not careful, a joyous day could become a major headache!Here are soime suggestions that may help ameliorate some of that stress and put you back on top. Be organised. Nothing ever goes completely to a schedule, but if you are aware and diligent in your planning, you can make adjustments on the fly - even drop something you had planned by prioritising. Build in some time just for you. After all - it is all about you! Make sure you organise some time together, away from the crowds and expectations that follow you everywhere you go. Don't try to fit in more than you can do. It is all too easy to turn your wedding day into a blur by packing too much in. All of that planning and time spent choosing your venue, photographer, wedding dress, make-up artist and so on can make your wedding appear to pass by in a blink. Take the time to breathe it in and enjoy - it is a once in a lifetime occasion. The Wedding Reception There are several ways to maximise your party at the wedding reception. Firstly, whenever there is a break in proceedings - ie between entree and main course, start your formalities. There is always a 20 minute break between the courses, so why not have your speeches. This has several positive spinoffs. Those not accustomed to public speaking are not going back for the 7th drink for "Dutch Courage". It also means that by the end of the main course, you are free to have your bridal dance and the entertainment can turn the remainder of your wedding reception into a party. If you do speeches after main course, you will not start the party until at least two thirds of the function has passed by. Every supplier you speak with will be able to help you with tips on making your wedding day go as smoothly as possible. So ask questions and make decisions based on what makes you truly happy and NEVER let a supplier override your choices. Your wedding is not about their running sheet, but your wedding day. |
