Finally the wedding day is here, and everything must be perfect. So much worries in the last few months
that you barely have the strength to concentrate on the party. First of all you have to establish the budget and depending on the budget but also on the theme of the wedding you can have a classic, a funny, a house, a romantic party.
Full of memories, enjoyment and appreciation of the guests is the wedding party. If you decided to make the wedding during summer , then the best choice would be to organize the wedding party outdoors. This party will need to take into account details over the organization of a local wedding.
You can have an outdoor wedding somewhere in the mountains, the sea or in a restaurant that has a large garden, possibly on the bank of a river or a lake. As these places are “hunted” by most couples to marry following appropriate that you make reservation at least a year before the wedding. Do not forget to prepared a contract by which to establish clearly which are your responsibilities, prices and responsibilities of the restaurant. If you want the wedding to take place in a public space, beach, meadow, you will have to establish what rights do you have with the city hall.
Because you will never be sure what the nature will reserve for your special day, to avoid inconveniences caused by unexpected changes of climate is required to buy a tent.
If you organize the party in a restaurant this implies a lot of aspects that don’t have to be omitted like: the location, the number of places and the number of guests, the floral arrangements, the music, details that you should take into consideration from the moment you decided that you are getting married.
But on your wedding day is more important to enjoy your moment, that it is a unique one, to dance, to socialize to feel beautiful and full of life. It is day that you have dreamed at since you were a little girl and nothing will ruin your dream. So be a happy bride!!!

If the future bride will have no claim and leave everything to your appreciation, then you’ll just work it out. You will have to search for a different color not like that of the bride’s dress because most of the brides prefer that no other female person should have a dress in the same color as the wedding dress .

Creating list of wedding invitations can become a total chaos. Whether you require the mother to invite all neighbors, whether your partner insists to invite colleagues from work, you will encounter some obstacles in planning the list of guests. There is still hope. If you follow these tips then you will not have some nightmare surprises invited for your wedding.
Choose invitations depending on budget.
Before you begin to think about the guest list think about the budget that it is allocated for the wedding, but also the type of wedding that you desire. If you want a wedding with a few guests, you should choose just the important persons in your life to participate at the wedding and you can come with a plus on the menu, decorations and favors. If you want to make a big wedding, because you have so many people that you cannot cut from the list, you can opt for a more modest and less menu decorations to fit into the budget originally set. If you want to make no compromise in terms of wedding style, location, menu and decorations, you will have to limit the number of guests, so you could have the wedding that you desire without making a hole in the budget.
Who are the guests
Generally it is , told that the family who pays more for the cost of the wedding have the right to invite more people to the wedding.
The simplest approach is that each set of parents have to invite the same number of people or a proportion of funds contributed to the cost of the wedding. If your parents or in-laws really need to invite more than the number of persons than you shall consider to ask them more money to cover the spending but also not to overcome the potential of the location.It is out of the question not invite your parents, grandparents, brothers, uncles and favorite aunts, so do not talk about it, but about those relatives whom you rarely see or never . Even if the parents insist to invite them, because this is right or that have some debt to them, try to make the list so that the closest relatives to be present. Then review the budget and room capacity where the wedding is organized and only then include other people . Relatives you do not ever see or even do not know … can be excluded to protect yourself from embarrassing moments to congratulate you and squeeze you in their arms from people you have never saw in your life.
Friends and colleagues. Where’s the party and fun, tend to collect a lot of people, but that does not mean that you have to invite your hairdresser and teacher of the class I. That friends should be chosen among those who have a close friendship and duration, which will share daily life, not those who are ready to share with you at the wedding and that’s it .In generally invite friends who are closer to you and they might be in the future. In terms of college or job colleagues, don’t invite the hole group just because you were getting along well during university .

Many details are important, but most of all it is important that the guests have fun at the wedding and this
depends on the music they listen. A situation in which all or most of the guests prefer a certain type of music is only theoretical. The guests are of different ages with different preferences: some like classical, others jazz, folk music etc. Although the wedding is yours, however you cannot choose the music that only you like , especially if your musical tastes are not shared even with the guests (e.g. rock). Yes, the marriage is yours, but the guests are there to celebrate with you. It is good to respect their tastes or otherwise you should not invite them. Even if, for instance you don’t like popular music, yet you can do except for a few songs, the song where all guests can dance together is in most cases very appreciated, especially when you are not only invited to attend. Try to avoid slow songs, some are sufficient, otherwise you risk that the guests get bored.
A band or a DJ
The Band
If you have a band-oriented approach it is good to ask what genre do they know better to play. Inform yourself about the repertoire that they have. If you excel in the genre popular, but have found that most guests prefer modern music, it is clear that you will have to search for someone. The selection of bands has the advantage that they create a better atmosphere. You can also try a quartet. However, if you decided on a band, make sure they have professional equipment, including station amplifier (PA). Ask if they have lights and if they are paid separately. Set prices in hours and keep in mind if you have long breaks or if they play on request.
The DJ
The simplest and most suitable way to find a good DJ for your wedding is to go on an “I saw him, I liked him”. If you were at a wedding or an event in which the atmosphere was fire, flawless music and all guests danced , regardless of age and the dance floor was never empty, is the case to get in touch with that DJ. If you do not know who is he and where to get it, ask recommendations from the bridal couple, or from the organizers of the wedding. If you have not personally seen any DJ who impress you, call the trust to the recommendation of friends, they may have been at weddings or events that you have not participated and they can recommend a good DJ. In the worst case, call the phone book or specialized sites, where you can get contact details of various DJ for weddings and you can interview them separately to find the right one. When you found the right DJ establish together the music genres that you want to listen at your wedding, the order of the songs and the price.
