Sounds silly, but I can’t tell you how many guests ask me where to put gifts! You probably made your gift/card box so cute that people mistake it for decor, and walk past it. Now don’t be tacky, but add a big sign that says, “Gift Box”.

A half hour before our wedding ended, my wife and I tried to sneak out. Our family and friends decorated our car, so there was no hiding our exit. I feel bad when seeing couples staying afterwards to help clean up. It’s your day! Feel entitled to leave if possible, and if you want to. Go start lif...

Fathers often give the most emotional speeches, so I’m sad when a their too nervous to give one. Talk to your father well in advance, and set a clear expectation that you’d like him to speak at your wedding. Dad’s usually have good senses of humor, so get him a toy microphone to practice on if...

Does your cocktail hour take place in three different rooms? Is your reception hall massive? Are you having a ceremony onsite too? Let’s say all the above was true. Have you asked your DJ if they have enough speakers? If they don’t, he may decide to leave the bar area without music, or only cove...

This might sound silly until you realize smushing your face into someone’s looks funny (or even gross) in pictures. Giving him a small peck on the lips apparently looks better. I’m not a photograph-kissing expert, but our photographer told us this during our wedding, and your photographer might ...

Go onto TikTok and find the most epic way to walk down the aisle! I had one Bride recently who planned out her walk perfectly. She played an instrumental version of a song while her family & bridal party walked in. Then the song switched to the normal version with words. She timed it so wh

Don’t get all your guests to kiss, just some of them. The Kissing Game is a fun way to entertain guests during dinner. The DJ calls for a couple to come up and do a kiss which the Bride and Groom then must replicate. Around four to six couples can be called during dinner, with around 10 minutes i

Just ask your DJ, “Will you be sitting during the reception? Dinner is one thing, but if they’ll be sitting at any other point, find a new DJ. Even if they’re using a Spotify playlist during cocktail hour, standing behind their booth will give off better party vibes. People will feel they’re...

It happens every wedding. Guests circle around and start to cheer on an energetic dancer showing off their dance moves. Finally out of energy, or out of moves, the dancer flees the middle of the circle leaving an empty hole. Hopefully someone else jumps in (or is lured in) so the fun can continue. T

Since I bought my ring off of Amazon for $14, I decided to get an extra one (one size bigger) in case I got fat. Fortunately I haven’t needed it yet. I tested out a silver ring; it got scratched up immediately. Then I got a tungsten carbide ring from Amazon, and almost seven years later, it still

As I write this, it’s seven degrees outside. But only a few months ago I was sweating during a ceremony. This ceremony was undercover and protected from the sun, but the air was stagnant and hot. The bride and groom anticipated the heat, but the solution was handing out paper fans which don’t ge...

I’d rather have a DJ with 1000 songs. Why? If a DJ had a fire at their house, they’d save their wife and kids first, and then their music. It’s not hard to download 250,000 songs. I actually started out that way. I gathered every piece of music I could get my hands on. It’s better for the DJ...

You as the bride may not see it, but I do. While setting up my equipment, I often see him wondering around with little to do. Meanwhile, you’re spending hours getting your makeup and hair done. Now this is more true for smaller bridal parties. But even with big bridal parties this can be a problem

When you did a taste testing, they probably didn’t overcook the chicken and it tasted great. But when they cook for 200 people, the meat tends to be overdone. This is why BBQ sauce is so helpful, it covers the dryness of any overcooked meat. Did you ever get a plated meal at a wedding and wish the

A DJ I respected plugged every piece of equipment into one circuit. He was going over-the-top, wanting to give the Bride and Groom the best experience possible. Then it happened. During the height of dancing, the lights and music turned off. He tripped the breaker. Too much was plugged-in. This hap
