[back to top] Wedding Invitation and Bridal Shower Invitation Etiquette Nowadays, new trends are emerging for weddings and that is why wedding rules vary from generation to generation. But one thing is for sure, wedding invitation and bridal shower invitation etiquette will still remain the same no matter how many generations will pass or no matter how many new trends will be created for weddings. The first rule when it comes to wedding invitation and bridal shower invitations is that the invitation must specify to the invitees the general tone of the wedding. Whether the wedding is a formal event or just a casual gathering, or is it a big gathering or just an intimate one, or is it a themed wedding or just a low-key event. The invitation should convey to the guests what they can expect for the wedding. The invitation should clearly give the guests all the details of the day’s proceedings. Second rule is that the invitation should clearly state the times, locations, attire, activities, directions or any other information that you think is important for your guests to know. And lastly, you should give your guests enough time to plan for your wedding so you should send the invitations well in advance. Ideally, invitations should be sent out at least six weeks in advance. This gives your guests plenty of time to plan their schedule to attend your wedding or to make travel arrangements if they are out of town. Couples spend a lot of time and effort to make their big day perfect. And since the invitation will set the first impression for your guests about your wedding, make sure that you observe the proper etiquette for your wedding or bridal shower invitation to give your guests a good first impression for your upcoming wedding. [back to top] Pop the Question: How to Plan a Perfect Wedding Proposal Before the couple plans for their wedding, the groom has to get busy planning how to make the perfect wedding proposal for his wife-to-be. This probably is one of the most anxious times for a man. He has to come up with the most romantic ideas on how to make his proposal special that will make his girlfriend say yes and remember it for the rest of her life. The man shouldn’t be too analytical about the proposal, so that it will appear to be heavily scripted and orchestrated. Also, the man should not just copy wedding proposal ideas. Women want to have a proposal that is unique and romantic, but men should also bear in mind that his way of proposing shouldn’t be something that is so different from his personality. So how can a man come up with wedding proposal idea that will really be romantic and will surely put a smile on her girlfriend’s face? First, the man should consider the personality of his girlfriend, what her likes and dislikes are. If the man plans to ask the question by going on a hike and propose under the stars at the top of the mountain, but your girlfriend hates the outdoors, then instead of getting a yes, the night might just end up in a way that the man did not expect! If the girl is close to her family and friends, the man can ask for ideas and tips from them on how he can propose. You know women, they share their secrets with their girlfriends and one of them is their dream wedding proposal, so talking to your girlfriend’s friends can give you an idea on how to make a very unique and romantic proposal that will blow your girlfriend away. But in the end, a perfect wedding proposal is something that is coming from the heart. Remember the movie “The Bachelor?” The man planned the perfect wedding proposal in the perfect venue but his girlfriend still said No. His girlfriend could really see from his eyes that he is not proposing from his heart. It doesn’t matter how elaborate the proposal is. What is important is that the man is really sincere with his intentions and no matter how he pops the question, the girl will definitely say YES.
