It's an extraordinarily important choice in your life to decide to get married. Since it's so important, the wedding plans made have to go off as efficiently as they can. There are so many decisions to make when it comes to this planning, and even the smallest details need to be checked. Every decision, small and large, will impact the event. This notion can be quite stressful to the betrothed.

The most important decisions are the most obvious; for example, where the wedding will be held, what the bride and bridesmaid will wear, the rings, etc. But it's the smaller details of the event that are equally as important, and not to be overlooked. And to those couples who have never been married before, these things that seem minor are the most poorly thought or, or even completely forgotten.

To help them along, many couples decide on engaging the services of a wedding consultant. It isn't terribly difficult to find them, especially through the internet. You can find many consultants or planners through the web, by Google searching and looking over their websites, to see if they fit what you are looking for.

But many couples decide to do all the wedding planning on their own, with little or no outside help. If that's the case with you, the internet can still be a great tool to find what you need. But keep in mind that if you are doing it yourself to save money, it may cost more in time (or even money) to get things done before the wedding.

Wedding invitations are one of those details that are often taken for granted by couples, and therefore not planned out. But they are extremely important, and in fact essential for any wedding event. That's because your guests need to know the time and location of the wedding (and for that matter, that there will even BE a wedding!). Your guests will need to plan in advance to attend, and need to know where to go on that day.

And if you plan them correctly, wedding invitations can provide more detail for your guests besides time and place. They can include directions on how to get there, where they can park, where they can sit, what motel they can stay at if they need to, etc.

Not only are the invitations important for providing information, they can also reflect on the couple and event itself. If you have attractive, well-designed cards with beautiful calligraphy, and perhaps a photo, they will be treasured by the recipients always. But poorly designed sloppy cards will just be thrown away. Also the type of paper they are on needs to be thought out. Thick stock paper is good, and there are many colors and styles to choose from. Whether the cards will be glossy or not, a good idea is to see if the card is something you yourself would like to receive. Remember, a wedding is a very special day in your life, and you want your guests to share in how wonderful and special it is.

Other details to consider are the pattern and border of the cards. A lovely design of the card can greatly compliment the event itself. If your wedding will have a theme, then the design and wording of the card should reflect that theme.

Besides the invitations, there are other details that are often neglected, but yet are important to a wedding. The reception location for example; places need to be checked out ahead of time to make sure they aren't dumps. Also decorations, colors of the outfits, the band or DJ you use, the limos. Every detail needs to be checked and double-checked. Doing so will make your wedding truly a day to remember always, both for you and your guests.

Audrey Cheong asked:


DRESS

? Discussing with the bride on which mother of the bride dress colors are appropriate for the wedding.

? Mother of the bride can choose her color or colors then. She can choose a mother of the bride dress by going to the department stores or bridal shops that carry mother of the bride dresses and gowns or she can even go with a nice, embellished suit.

? The mother of the bride can also let her "fingers do the shopping". There are tons of great ideas for a mother of the bride dress online. Do a search for "mother of the bride gowns" or "mother of the bride dresses". Websites usually offer the latest designs for reasonable prices.

? Mother of the bride will choose a color that complements the wedding color/colors. If this a difficult thing to do, the basic colors of silver, black, navy, beige, or champagne are acceptable colors to wear. Ivory is acceptable too--it is no longer taboo at weddings (or even black--"black and white" weddings!), if the bride agrees to it.

? Mother of the bride can then decide on the length of the dress. Will she be happier with a long, floor-length gown, or will she look better in a more semi-formal, tea-length or even knee-length style?

? Confer with the mother of the groom on all mother of the bride dress or gown choices. They will both want to coordinate their choice of outfits.

? Shop for a dress at LEAST two to four months in advance of the wedding date. This will allow ample time for dress exchanges, alterations, and the purchase of shoes and accessories. This will limit some of the stress when the mother of the bride plans early.

DUTIES

? The mother of the bride will assist the bride with the selection of her wedding dress and accessories. Also, choosing of the bridesmaids, maid of honor and the color theme of the wedding, wedding song, etc.

? The mother of the bride helps the bride and the groom in gathering the names of wedding guests and narrowing down the guest list.

? The mother of the bride aids in selecting the wedding invitations and the writing out the invitation copy.

? The mother of the bride is the assistant or is solely responsible for the other wedding details like photography/videography, wedding cake, bridal accessories, bridal shower arrangements, wedding bouquet and flowers, food catering, wedding favors, pastor/minister/church, banquet room, reception, lodging for out-of-town guests, etc.

? The mother of the bride leaves the wedding ceremony area after the bride and groom and before the guests.

? The mother of the bride greet guests as they file into the reception room, or at signing of the wedding register.

? The mother of the bride dances with the father of the bride or if unavailable, the escort, and then with the groom during the first formal dance.

? The mother of the bride ensures that all the guests are happy and having a great time and most importantly, that she, the bride, and groom, are having fun as well despite all the stress and the "hoopla".
