The wedding in Thailand begins early in the morning. Loud music from the bride’s house informs all the neighbors about the celebration. The groom and his relatives form a colorful and cheerful procession walking to the bride’s place. The flags, dancing, candles, food, etc are involved. The groom tries to arrive at the bride’s house at exactly 9:09 a.m. because it’s the lucky time for Thais. Buddhist monks are often present at the morning wedding ceremony, they pray and bless the couple, who in return give them money and invite the monks to have lunch with them.

This wedding ritual is the Peruvian analog of the Western-style wedding bouquet throwing. But it is different. A simple ring or charm is prepared by the bride and groom; they also get several ribbons and attach them to the base of the wedding cake; one of the ribbons is tied to this ring or charm but no one knows which one. All the single women come to the cake and pull a ribbon. Who gets the ribbon with the ring, will supposedly be the next to get married.

If a bridal shower planner has generous budget, a fancy event can be organized at a cafe, restaurant, wedding venue, or other place where food and drinks are provided for money.

People who have a limited wedding budget are constantly in search of things to save money on. You can skimp on food and drinks, on wedding attire, on wedding décor, and so on. But never cut back on wedding photos. This is practically the only thing that will remind you of your happy day years after. It’s much better to hire a wedding photographer – maybe not the top-notch but a nice budget photographer. If you can’t afford even that, here is a useful trick – encourage your guests to take photos and videos during the wedding and then ask them to send you copies. These photos will be less professional but at least you’ll have something to preserve good memories.

If you’re inviting children to your wedding, it’s great to find some interesting activity for them. One of the useful ideas is to prepare a small goody bag for every child. It may include some snacks, a pack of juice, little toys, crayons and paper, little stickers, anything kids like. If you have a plan of seating your guests, you can leave these bags on those chairs where children will be seated. If not, have somebody responsible for handing out such goody bags before the wedding reception starts. Don’t forget to make the packaging quiet and carefully think through what items to put into the bags.
