Have a really good looking business card printed up and take to your local florist, banquet hall etc and ask if they'd display your card, say that you'll naturally reccomend their service. \n\nTake a stand at a wedding show:\n\nGather up every wedding magazine you can find and cut out all the dress, cake, flower examples that you can find and intersperse them with photos of weddings you have been to in albums for brides to go thru and choose from. \n(Naturally don't mention twiced married, even though the success of a wedding has nothing to do with the success of a marriage, some brides are superstious.)\n\nMake examples of table decorations, alter decorations etc. in different styles   \n\nGive both bride & grooms a form to fill in like what's important for your wedding so they can give you all the little details like "Dont sit Uncle James next to Aunt Trudy" or " Absolutely no Britney Spears music" The little attentions will encourage them to tell other people.  WORD OF MOUTH WORKS! \n\ngood luck

I think that sounds lovely, especially for an outdoor wedding in the summer! If anyone says they don't like it, stick out your tongue and tell them to bugger off. It's your wedding and you can do what you want.

1. For a unique party favor my groom and I are giving out lottery tickets. Only $1 each.. I will have a note in the program stating the tickets were chosen because we are so lucky to have our family and friends with us on our wedding day.\nI will also add a line that all winnings will need to be split with the bride and groom!\n\n 2. Instead of having an ordinary guestbook, that you hardly will look at again, I am going to create a photo guest book.  My guestbook attendants will take polaroids of each guest... either individually or in a group, however they come, and put it on the pages of the guestbook/scrapbook.  The guests will then sign on the bottom of their picture.  My fiance and I will then have a photo album of all the guests at our wedding! :) GST\n\n3. We are getting married next year and instead of the traditional wedding we have decided to go with a "rock-n-roll" theme. We are going to have records displayed around the hall with our names on them and a picture of the two of us. Our colors are navy blue, black and silver so there will be plenty of those colors…from the silver glitter on the black tables cloths to the silver spray painted roses.\n\n 4. Since this is a second marriage and there are children that will be blended into a new family, we are decorating the tables at the reception with photo trees holding photos of my future husband and I and our children doing things together. We feel it shows that this marriage is not the union of just two people, but the formation of a new family.\n\n5. We had a shortage of single men and women invited to our wedding, most of our friends and family were already married.  So we needed to come up with something different to replace the traditional bouquet and garter throwing.  We invited everyone to the dance floor and the dj played several lovely, slow songs.  First the dj told all couples married two hours or less to sit down (everyone got a kick out of that).  Then a few moments later, any married a year or less, than five years, ten years and so on, until there was only one couple left.  They were neighbors and friends of my family and had been married for fifty years.  We asked them to stay on the dance floor while I took a seat and my husband made a big show of removing my garter.  We then faced the winning couple, congratulated them on their fifty years and asked them for their best marriage advice as we presented them with the bouquet and garter.  They were very touched and it gave us a great feeling too.

We had great dancing at our wedding because we used timeless music that my generation and my parent's generation were both familar with. Here are some of the songs we played:\n\nButtercup -- Foundations\nAin't No Mountain High Enough -- Stepmom soundtrack\nThriller -- Michael Jackson\nSweet Home Alabama -- Linnerd Skinnerd\nIce Ice Baby -- Vanilla Ice\nStop in the Name of Love -- Diana Ross\nGirls Just Wanna Have Fun -- Cyndi Lauper\n\nWe had the best time dancing at our wedding and the floor was packed the whole time because we planned each song to be played. We also made sure to NOT play the YMCA or other group dances.\n\nHope this helps!

My husband had my Mother call me on the phone and keep me busy. While I was talking to her, he took a small table and two chairs along with a bottle of wine and two glasses to the roof top of our apartment building. Then he came and took me out there where we danced to our favorite song and at the end of the song, he went to his knee and proposed to me. We spent the next two hours out there at the table sharing a bottle of wine and making wedding plans. It was incredible! Thank you for reminding me of how great that was!

they could do some readings, be ushers, coordinate with wedding planner, an emcee at the reception, in charge of music and drinks, be responsible for the entertainment or gift bags. do you have maids of honor already or groomsmen? would somebody be lighting candles as a symbolic gesture?\nanyway, have a happy marriage. congratulations!

I just got Married on the 21st and some of my friends wore white pant suites...that didn't bother me really.  But when my 2 month married sister-in-law showed up in the same white dress, that she wore to her reception, it infuriated me...I must say be kind to the bride an let her be the only one in white!

Is it similar to a wedding ceremony? If so then just go by that. If it is different you could still use one of them. I think that is really nice.

YES! I wore some funky blue socks with the toes under my wedding dress. Nobody knew about it until my husband took my garter off...it was hilarious. \n\nI was maid of honor at my friends wedding and I had white high top converse shoes died to match my dress.

Do something fun and a little less ordinary together. One year my husband suprised me by whisking me off to the beach. he had gotton takeout food from this really great itallian place and we had a little moonlit picnic. Next year we are playing with the idea of getting tatoos. You could go rock clibling or take a hike up to a beautiful spot and take in the veiw. A hot air balloon ride or, if more adventurous maybe sky diving lessons.  Whatever you do, try to establish your own little traditions. Like every year no matter what our plans we always have a glass of champagne from our wedding flutes together. One year we had just moved, and were completly broke and had our champagne in the middle of an empty apartment with nothing but lawn chairs for furniture and that was one of the most memorable. Maybe because it was such a clear message that it doesnt really matter what you do as much as who you are with. Happy Aniversery, and Good Luck.

I like the exchange collars idea.  Serve alcohol to the wedding guests.  Have someone creative make a ferret shaped cake to serve at the reception.
