· Have as much input in the music at your wedding as possible.
· Ask your family and friends what music they enjoy and make sure their requests are presented.
· Doing a money dance is a good way to make extra cash at your wedding.
· If you don't want people to pin money on your dress use a money bag/purse.
· Plan a special song for your parents (Maybe even the song they danced to at their wedding).
· Do a Mardi Gras Style second line. Make sure someone brings a white umbrella and some white napkins.
· Have someone do a toast at the reception (funny works best but emotional is okay).
· For the bouquet toss, fake the throw the first time (Watch the girls jump)(Great photo opt).
· Instead of shoving cake in each other's face, shove it in the face of the best man/woman.
· Don't decide your wedding vendors based solely on price, cheapest is not always best.
Example: You have the perfect wedding venue, the best reception hall, a beautiful dress, a perfectly decorated cake, the best food, all of your family and friends are in town, you are completely prepared for your special day, yet you saved a few bucks by booking a cheap DJ and he stinks. He comes late or maybe not at all. His equipment is basically a home stereo and he is wearing a dirty LSU t-shirt and jeans.
Sounds funny right, it's a true story! This happened one of my friends when I attended their wedding a few years back. He thought that he had made the best deal in the world, but it was the worst wedding reception I have ever attended (his wife was less than happy). The moral of this story is: don't trust your special day to just anyone, use someone who is experienced, professional, organized, prompt, prepared, and considerate. I am happy to provide references of satisfied customers if needed. Book with confidence, I am confident in my abilities. - Jamie K.
