Last week, the government announced that comes April 30th first class stamps will increase from 46p to 60p per stamp. Ouch. That means, if you’re about to send out invitations, thank you cards, or even thinking about getting married, run to the post office now and stock up!
Wise Wedding Planning Tips… #10
You’re thinking, “I just got engaged! I’m going to shout it to the world!” Right? While you may be tempted to ask everyone and their pet goldfish to save the date for your wedding, don’t verbally ask them OR send out save the dates until the guest list is finalised. You will likely have to edit the guest list as venues have restrictions, your budget has gone over, or your fiance forgot about Aunt Susie and her family. Can you imagine having to cut already asked guests, yikes!

We recommend having two different types of table centrepieces, regardless of guest size or budget. Having one high and one low arrangement will create the biggest visual impact and always impress guests. Some couples are hesitant to have high arrangements thinking their guests might not be able to see across the table. Just make sure your arrangement is high enough to avoid this, or you choose an arrangement that doesn’t have flowers cascading down to the table.

Break up your speeches throughout various parts of the reception. For example, the first speaker can toast at somepoint during the cocktail reception, your second speaker before the starter course, the third speaker after the starter and before the main, and the third and fourth speakers after the main and before the dessert. Speeches are personal and can be lengthy for your guests, so breaking them up can create excitement and anticipation for your while it will keep your guests happy and in their seats.
