When Bridesmaids Don’t Play Nice
There are going to be friends in your life, who you love dearly, but who would not have much in common outside of their friendships with you. That is part of life. In most cases, those differing opinions, and mix-matched personalities can play nice for the sake of a wedding, which, after all, generally means only a handful of days in each other’s company.

Hord’Oeuvres Hour: Making Your Favorite Meals Mini
Very often, shortly after the wedding ceremony is completed, the bride and groom, along with the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and closest relatives, will go off with the photographer for a photoshoot. This creates a span of time when the guests are in a sort of limbo, between ceremony and formal reception. In order to fill that time gap, many couples choose to offer drinks and snacks, along with music of some type as entertainment. Offering hor d-oeuvres to tide guests over until dinner is a wonderful option, and can also create a very memorable environment, especially if you have fun with the food.
Making Your Wedding Menu Vegetarian-Friendly
The number of people choosing not to eat meat products has increased substantially over the past couple of decades. With more knowledge, cookbooks dedicated to overcoming dietary restrictions, and a better selection at grocery stores, it is easier and healthier to be a vegetarian than ever before. That likely means that at least one person at your wedding reception will refuse meat during the main meal. As a result, many brides and grooms are doing what they can to accommodate vegetarians, and it isn’t as difficult as some believe it to be. In fact, in some cases, it isn’t even necessary to plan a specifically vegetarian main meal option.
Reducing the Burden on Your Bridesmaids
There is a great deal of thrill that comes with accepting a marriage proposal and starting the planning process. The wedding day will, undoubtedly, be one the most memorable of your entire life, so, of course, you want it to be extremely special, and preferably perfect. However, in all of your planning excitement, it can be easy to overlook the burden that you are placing on friends and loved ones. The women who you have invited to play a special part in your big day are most definitely happy to be recognized. They most certainly want to be at your side as you say your vows, however, you have to remember how much expense can go into playing the part of bridesmaid.
