Your guests will not want to stay, if it is too cold. Provide comfort to your guests with small accommodations and features, like having fans available if you are having a summer wedding.

One key consideration when setting up seating for your wedding meal is to avoid having an odd number of guests at any table. Tables should also be grouped based on their age. This will help increase the chances that guests will be able to talk and chat together.

A fun way to add a personal touch to your wedding is to ask a friend or family member to officiate the ceremony. Your ceremony will have a more personal tone, and you can save money by not needing to hire an officiant. Make sure that this is something that is legal where you live.

Order small individual portions of cake from a local bakery if the thought of spending the equivalent of your honeymoon on your cake does not appeal to you.

They can also use healthy ingredients like fruit fillings  nike kaishi run mens trainers , no-calorie sweeteners, and even meringue toppings.

It's important to have a backup plan if you want your wedding ceremony or reception to be held outdoors. Set up a large canopy for shade or rain. A location with access to the indoors would also work well, just in case of bad weather. Another thing you can do is install planks  nike roshe run , so guests don't get their shoes muddy.

Perhaps you could borrow something from a friend. A nice bracelet or necklace .
