4 highlights for the wedding party and other exciting tips
For many, a wedding represents the ultimate proof of love between two lovers. The "yes" word is accompanied by a special promise: the vow to be there for each other for the rest of their lives - literally "for better or for worse". It is not surprising that many gay couples also decide to celebrate this promise with a big party.
However, a big party must also be well organized. On which highlights should be set here, of course, is always dependent on the personal taste of the couple.
But before every successful wedding there is comprehensive planning. But what is actually involved? What should be paid attention to?
Planning a wedding properly - this is the bride and groom's turn
Before going to the highlights, which are often taken care of by the guests of the celebration, every prospective couple should create a "to-do" list. This will ensure that nothing important is forgotten.
Of course, it is up to each couple to decide which items are considered important and which are not. However, a rough overview can help to bring some more structure into the planning.
- Determine budget for the wedding and stay within this financial framework
- Preparation of the guest list (by the way, the number of people in question is also important information for the caterer. After all, he must know how many people he has to cook for).
- Find a location for the celebration (castles, event halls, outdoor locations, etc. are particularly popular).
- Find date for the wedding ceremony and create invitations
- Organize suitable caterer (from buffet to menu to food truck, many things are possible here).
- Organize musical entertainment
- Find the ideal wedding outfit
In all these points, of course, should be an individual touch. And if you don't want a big celebration, you shouldn't feel forced to have one because it's "just expected". On this special day, exactly TWO people are the focus.
Four highlights for the perfect wedding
Every couple certainly defines the term "highlight" differently. While some are happy about the largest possible wedding cake, others expect fireworks. But there are also other, sometimes inexpensive, highlights that can make any wedding a little more personal.
Highlight No. 1: A photo box
From a photo box can be the most beautiful and crazy photos. An alternative would also be to distribute disposable cameras on the tables. So each guest can snap what is important to him. At the end, the pictures can then be collected together.
Highlight No. 2: Guest wall, instead of guest book
A guest book is enormously important for many wedding couples, because it is rather rare that so many people from the circle of friends and family are in the same place. If you want, you can also set up a guest wall (for example, in rainbow design) and add colors and stamps. This way, guests can personalize the wall during the celebration. A very special memory of the "most beautiful day in life".
Highlight No. 3: Small show interludes
For many, games of various kinds are part of a wedding. However, there is also the possibility to integrate a small show interlude into the party. How about a mystery dinner? Or with a comedy act? There are almost no limits to the imagination.
Highlight No. 4: The matching decoration
Finally, same-sex couples are allowed to get married in Germany. Those who think that it took long enough to finally get there can of course also celebrate with rainbows, napkins and co. So the LGBTQIA+ motto always resonates in the background.
