Michael & Christi Vacarro, Alderbrook Resort, 2006Even if we never work together, here is significant wedding ceremony planning tip that will hcreate more ease and elegance around the start of your wedding ceremony.
If your wedding ceremony is to start at 6:00 p.m., put 5:30 pm. on your invites.
If your wedding ceremony is to start at 3:00 p.m., put 2:30 p.m. on your invites.
Why?
By creating a 30-minute buffer around the start time of your ceremony, you are immediately doing a couple of things:
- Since many people aren't personally familiar with wedding venues, they often show up right at the start time of a ceremony or a little late. This creates stress all the way around.
- By creating a 30-minute buffer, people arrive and are greeted in a more relaxed manner - rather than rushing in and finding a seat.
- And most importantly, by creating some wiggle room of time, a bride and groom immediately create a more welcoming environment where everyone is more relaxed. Plus, when you start "on time," this also protects the integrity of your food which in most cases you have spent good money on.
