If your wedding has a theme, you might want to choose wedding guest favors that will compliment it. For instance, you are having a country style wedding, apple shaped candles would be a good choice. Or you can choose favors that go with the season, such as autumn leaf candles or soaps. For a beach wedding, shells filled with mints or salt water taffy and wrapped in tulle would be perfect. For a formal wedding, sterling picture frame place card holders are very elegant. What ever your tastes are, there are bound to be wedding favors to suit you.

These are the wedding day jitters. And, yes, you will have them. The wedding day jitters affect different people in different ways.

Your life will never be the same after today and that alone is enough reason to get the jitters. Everyone gets the jitters in one way or another on their wedding day.

I've received several emails recently about a previous post "Circle Seating With A Twist." Here are further instructions you may find useful... Circle seating means "seating in the round." Chairs are set up in a circle.
A platform may be placed in the middle of the circle upon which you and your partner can stand with your officiant. Anyone who comes up to speak, steps up onto the platform. By setting chairs in a circle, every guest gets "the best seat" in the house. You can double layer the circle if space is limited or the size of the circle loses it's intimacy. With a guest list of 100, for example, I recommend making the inner circle 40 chairs and a second row, or outer circle, of 60. The platform can also hold a chuppah or an arch to provide a precise point of focus for your guests and to accentuate the "sacred space" for your marriage ceremony.
If you want an aisle, you can make one by not quite "closing" the circle -- in other words, remove three chairs from the circle to create a space to walk in and out of. Indigenous cultures, however, would say that it is important to close the circle prior to beginning the speaking portion of the ceremony so that the energy of the experience doesn't leak out. Think of the ceremony area as a container to "hold" you during the ceremony. Closing the circle after your walk down the aisle would be like putting the lid on the container. Another way to think of it is that you create for yourself the feeling of being cradled with love when you state your vows. Closing the circle may be done as simply as having one of your attendants tie a ribbon from a seat on one side of the aisle to the nearest seat on the other side. Then have an attendant untie the ribbon before you walk back down the aisle at the end of the ceremony.
The 3 most common wedding speeches fall under the headings of the bride’s father’s speech, the bridegroom’s speech, and, last of all, the best man’s speech. The toastmaster should call upon the bride’s father to propose a blessing of “health and happiness to the bride and groom.” Try to make it heartfelt and genuine because crudeness is inappropriate. A little humor, however, is fitting.

When choosing a destination, remember that what looks good on paper isn’t always that tantalizing up-close. Stay tuned to the criticisms in travel reviews, and don’t select on a whim. Narrow it down by theme, i.e., beach or forest, mountainous terrain or quaint, old village, etc. Then narrow it down by country. Travelling in the country you live in can be a mite cheaper than travelling abroad. Your spouse’s opinions are critical. Picking a mutually pleasing place is what it’s all about. Don’t acquiesce to friends or family, choose a destination based on your own aesthetic and activity-oriented likes and preferences.

Boys will be boys. Even men remain boys at heart. All they live for is sports, hanging out with their buddies and their career. But the time will come when they will finally find a reason to turn away from their toys, decline invitations to hang out at times and work harder than ever. Life now does not revolve around work and play anymore. And that reason for their sudden change of heart would be a woman, but not just any woman. She would be a woman so precious that marriage would be as precious to him as the woman is.
