Generally backyard wedding theme is being used by the people who wan to celebrate it with only close friends and family which includes a sum that is less than hundred.

Wedding Arrangements



One of the danger of choosing of this type of wedding themes for the wedding is the fear of bad whether that may spoil your hard work for the grand event. It would be better if you have barns or sheds or you may rent tents for the same.




One more thing you need to look upon is the place of parking in your home for your wedding guest and so consider this point also before finally deciding wedding theme of backyard.

Destination Weddings

If you don’t want to follow the traditional style of wedding and want something extra that will add excitement and delight for you and your guests, then you have may go for one of the great option of Destination Wedding.

And if you are going for this wedding idea, then surely you will need some of the following things to follow:

Save The Dates Cards 

Your guests needs full notification of the thing that you are not going to celebrate your wedding by the customary way but a newer one and that can be done with the help of Save The Date notifications. This will help them to plan accordingly for their preparation to go for the real wedding.

Wedding Invitations

Your wedding Invitation must include the information of the venue, date, travel and wedding reception to be viewed by your guests as this will create the real excitement by knowing the place for the wedding.

If you are planning for the Cuban or Dominican destinations for your wedding, then you may have the additional choice of roller cigars with traditional matches for impressing you guests.

Some of the local finesse can be provided for entertainment at the time of rehearsal dinner or wedding reception to your guests.  

  
Welcome Letter

For greeting your guests and informing them all of the weekend events, you may provide a welcome letter in their rooms which can be given as a type of travelling brochure.

One of the nicest picture of the destination of the wedding can be putted on the front of the letter and the timings, day and venue for all the pre wedding events and for the wedding ceremony can be embossed inside it.

Wedding Favors

You should make arrangements for some kind of wedding favors for thanking your guests at the time of arrival as they have travelled a lot to be there for you on the special day. You may have a choice of the totes or welcome bags and add some kind of local treat like the liquor bottles or candies for them which will also be needed by them for the beach if that is being included in your adventure.
Wedding Ceremony

One of the fantastic idea to be followed by your brides maid is to have the sun shades of the colors matching with your wedding dress with them while walking down with the bride against the wedding bouquets that will give a different effect.

In place of using the customary ring pillows, you may go for a ring holder carrying a big sea shell of dollars of sands, star fish, etc.

When your guests will arrive for the wedding reception, they may look for Escort cards first that if included will made the first impression with a little detail.

Now when it comes to be the turn of the table numbers, you may go for taking the pictures holding the numbers of the tables and after framing them, they can be easily placed on the tables. Just another of my favorite ideas…

Flip-flops can be chosen for placing along with sign of “Dancing Place” or any other sign of your choice seeming to direct the guests for hitting the dance floor.

A lot of enjoyment and wedding decoration can be added to the reception on pool-side by making the arrangements of fountains of floating type which rhyme like the wedding music accordingly.

How to choose your wedding caterer

Wedding day is the most important day in everyone’s life, and therefore you must make sure that no  shortcomings appear on the big day that brings gloom on your face. You might be confused whether you  should appease your expensive palate or go as per the guests’ favorite. Even if you go by guests’ preferred  tastes it will become hectic and mind boggling to assort what should be the menu which gratifies everyone’s  taste buds. A well catered wedding allows you to go freely and explore the delicacies and share them with  your loved ones.

It all starts from bride and groom. So, first step towards choosing the apt caterer should start from you. Sit with your mate and jot down your and his likened flavors. List them as appetizers, entrees, side dishes, desserts and drinks. Before finalizing it, have a nutritional thought about the list to make sure that the food is nutritious or if you are cutting down on your guests’ health. Next align the food with that of your wedding style. If you are opting for traditional wedding, then you can go on an elaborate buffet detailing all the traditional dishes.

Whatever be your wedding style – elegant, royal, bohemian, rustic- it will help you select your dishes for the wedding day.

After you are done with your choice of food it is time to head towards searching for caterers. Catering venue is one important thing to ponder upon. Catering and wedding venues correspond to each other. It is imperative that you keep handy some of your preferred locations before you set forth to analyze each. As you go through each set-up and location, you can succeed in making the best combinations of delicious food options and an awesome venue. If you look for banquets, halls or some event spaces where you could call for a traditional wedding set up, these venues have their own caterers, and may or may not be willing for taking up any outside caterer. In case they agree to take any outside party, then look into the fees, the entire set up with its break down. Also see if tables, chairs, dinnerware are included.

Guest count is another important thing to consider. After you have decided the flavors, make a rough estimate of how many guests will be attending the ceremony. Also make note of any dietary preferences or any typical food allergy.

Budget comes next which is clearly indispensable component of wedding catering planning. Time during which you will hold the reception of wedding is an important factor which decide the amount of money being spent on food and drink. As it runs chronologically from morning to night – Breakfast or Brunch, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Champagne and Cake, Cocktail Reception and Dinner – it can help in deciding on the approx. budget. While calculating the catering costs, also count upon alcohol or any other drink and seating.

Besides, if kids are also attending the gala, then include kids meals also, and some refreshments to delight the children. Look into the presentation style if there will be bartenders and servers to serve guests the food.

You wedding is the biggest day and your reception is the biggest party of your life, so make sure to go through each detail of wedding catering. Make your guests swoon over the presentation and remember the delectable food of your ceremony.
