What does it mean to get in the mood on your wedding day? Of course, you will be excited and over the moon; you don’t need help to get in the right mood.

While this is true, your guests may not share your excitement. Indeed, regardless of how much your friends and relatives love you, being invited to a wedding is more a chore than a pleasure. For any guest, it means getting out of their way to buy a wedding present and suitable clothes – especially if you’ve got an imposed theme –; some of them have travelled a long distance to be there, and they’ll be back to work on Monday! In short, if you’re still in the planning phase, you need to make sure you use every trick in the box to help your guests to get enthusiastic about your wedding day. After all, it’s not just your special day; it’s a date you want to share with them. The bottom line is that without some organisation magic and carefully set atmosphere, you can’t make this work.
Before the big day
Hopefully, you’ve got plenty of time to plan. But if there’s one thing you need to start your wedding planning journey with, it’s the choice of stationery. After all, you’ll need to get your invitations out early enough to plan for catering for all your guests. Your stationery acts as a teaser to your big day. Not only does it make sure that all your guests are ready to save the date, but, more importantly, it gives an insight into the theme, colours, and style you’ve chosen for the wedding. You can incorporate elements of your story together into the invitations, such as mixing patterns to represent where you’ve met and got engaged – especially if it happened in very different places.
Getting it right at the venue
Your venue is the place that needs to bring together your guests and the element of joy. Only one rule matters here: Never use a site without the proper decor. When you’ve invested a lot of time and attention to getting the invitations right, you want to make sure the venue carries the same feeling. Using inspirational lights as a mood factor is a good idea . You can also add creative drapes on the walls and table decorations to continue the stationery theme. It can be intimidating for guests to arrive in a silent venue, so you have to sort out a live band with professionals such as AliveNetwork.com to create a musical background for the duration of the party. Start with inviting tunes as they arrive before moving to swinging beats.
What happens afterwards
Last, but not least, your thank you notes conclude the ceremony. Most couples tend to use the same stationery theme. However, if you want something a little more personal for each guest, you can have a look at Canva.com that lets you customise individual cards with a photo. Why not send each guest a picture of themselves?
How does your wedding affect your guests? This is precisely the question you need to ask yourself when preparing your big day. Keep the theme uniform across the board and make sure to create a friendly and warm ambiance at the venue. Ultimately, guests want to have fun too.
