The idea is to create a memorable occasion. You do not want to just follow a preconceived package of what the wedding should be. But first, start with a budget by listing down all the necessities - church, ring, food, decorations, and bridal clothes. Once expenses for the basics are determined, you can think about little extras like jewelry. A nice wedding bracelet can be had at a reasonable price. Unlike the gown and the flowers, this will be something that you can wear and cherish long after your wedding day.

It is so difficult to choose from among the hundreds of choices. In cases like these, it is good advice to limit your choice to the theme of the wedding. This way the occasion will always be remembered every time guests see the beautiful party favors given away during the event.

I still kept my wedding guest book. I kept it in my old room, the one I grew up in. There are names of people there that I do not recognize. They’re probably my husband’s relatives. I also noted that there were people with really bad penmanship. I could not make up their names. After our wedding, I had to send out “Thank You” cards and I used this wedding guest book as partial reference. I relied mostly on the cards that were written in our wedding gifts.
