Wedding Favors - Etiquette to Remember

If you are currently planning a wedding then you undoubtedly have encountered the unwritten but well know "wedding etiquette creed": like "thou shalt not have a formal wedding before 4pm". Admittedly, there are many rules of etiquette that are simply ignored. For example many brides choose to go against the common rule of abstaining from wearing a white gown at your second wedding. Surprisingly there are even rules that should be applied to giving wedding favors. Many of these rules may not be as rigid as others, but have been accepted as common place at most weddings. The wedding favor etiquette addresses whether party souvenirs are necessary, whether keepsakes or other mementos should be given to children and how much should be budgeted for favors.

Although you are not obligated to give wedding reception or ceremony favors, most of your guests have come to expect them. The reason behind wedding gifts is to simply provide a couple with a way to thank their guest for their love and unconditional support. They have become common place and are given at the majority of today's weddings or receptions. If you are including children in your matrimony celebration then it is also proper etiquette to give them a goodie as well. Many couples choose to give children the same favors as the adults. This can only work if the favor is age appropriate. If not, try to find a fun and practical favor to give. Candy is an easy and cost effective gift to give the children attending your wedding reception.

The number one reason couples hesitate when choosing party gifts is because they are concerned about the cost. This is an extremely valid concern when you add up all of the other expenses. Fortunately, if your budget is tight there are many ways to get quality discount favors and you can even make them yourself!

How Do You Save Money On Your Wedding Videographer?

You may think that a wedding videographer is a cost that you could do without and you could end up spending thousands on something that you may only watch a few times. Lots of times will be straight after the wedding , you will take it religiously to all of your friends and family, then it will get packed away. The next time could be when the children want to have a laugh and then again at your tenth wedding anniversary. All that said having a video of your wedding could be one of the most important reminders of your special day, so you need to get it right but not spend a fortune.

The first thing that you need to remember is quality is important. It doesn't matter how cheap the deal is, if it is terrible you will be upset and if the record button was forgotton to be pressed by a well-meaning relative you could be devastated.

Whoever you employ for the services of wedding videographer make sure you see previous work and samples, both edited and raw footage.

The cheapest wedding videographer will be a friend or relative who is willing to do it for free but take into account the above points. Whoever it is check their previous work!

Another cheaper option is to hire a film student, check out your local college and see if there are any students wanting to film your wedding. They may be needing to increase their portfolio and so this is a win-win situation.

Hiring a professional does take away any of the amateur worries you may have with the above suggestions but they can charge a lot.

Shop around and not just in your own town, I have heard of videographers from the otherside of the country being hired as they were the cheapest. And that includes travel and accommodation. In other words if you live in an expensive city try looking at more rural based wedding videographers. Sounds mad but it's true!

The more videographers, hours of filming and level of editing is what will increase the price. Think, when is it important for the filming? Maybe just have the ceremony filmed, stipulate just one videographer and maybe ask for the raw footage. That will minimise your costs and do you or your guests want a videographer filming their best dance moves late in the night? The evening and late night shots always seem to be best on the friend's camera, as you get all of their commentary at the time.

You also want to find a videographer who will give you the rights to your own proofs, otherwise you will get charged for all the copies you need for all of your relatives. Another expense to avoid.

Some videographers and photographers work together and if you hire them both the overall cost will be reduced from individual contracts. This will also mean that they will work together rather than trying to get in each others way. Another stress to avoid!

Follow the above tips and you could be the proud owners of one of the best wedding videos that you will want to keep watching again and again.

How to Deliver a Great Wedding Speech Like a Pro

Giving a wedding speech is one of the most dreaded assignments most people avoid. But it should be an honor to be asked to take part of that special moment of such a memorable occasion. If you know how to deliver a great wedding speech then this should not be a problem. Here are some tips of doing it.

Call attention at the opening –a great wedding speech is one which people listen to and the most important time to catch people's attention is during the opening. Introduce yourself first – who you are in the couple's life and why in the world they gave you the honor to talk at their wedding. You may begin with a joke, an anecdote, or a memorable experience with the bride and groom. To deliver a great wedding speech you may start with anything that could catch the audience's attention so that they can focus on you as the speaker.

Look at your audience – to command the respect of your audience, look at them in the eye. You can call their attention by glancing at them, or panning through them to signal that you are about to deliver a great wedding speech in front of them. Smile! The audience would not want to listen to a snobbish-looking person.

Be quick but concise – the key to good communication is brevity. People have very short attention spans these days and you should be able to deliver a great wedding speech into that short time. When telling stories, get straight to the point and avoid making redundant explanations. Deliver your message right after the story. This way, you would be able to communicate everything and make yourself understood effectively.

Return the attention to the couple at closing – most wedding speeches end with your wishes for the couple and the toast. You can end it in different ways but the important thing is you return the spotlight to them, after all this is their moment. You should not hog all the attention to yourself, but you should not pass the limelight too son just to get over with your speech.

Practice makes awesome speeches – to deliver a great wedding speech, it is important to rehearse your speech five to seven times before the wedding. Practice in front of the mirror or a friend so that you can easily be corrected for mishaps. Write down just the keywords of your speech in an index card and practice saying your speech again for two or three times, taking cues from the card. On the morning of the wedding practice your speech again, this time without the cue card, and see yourself go with it in a breeze.

Stand firm to calm those knees – if you have shaky knees, you may lean to a table for support and stability but never, ever sit down to deliver a great wedding speech. By standing, you are commanding the guests for their attention, and at the same time you are showing the couple your respect.

Grasp to calm those hands –if you have shaky hands, you can calm them down by holding on to something, a hanky or the wine glass perhaps – just so your hands are busy doing something to keep it distracted. Once you start to deliver a great wedding speech, your hand could easily forget its urge to keep shaking.

Speeches should not be scary. If you know how to deliver a great wedding speech, you need not to fear weddings anymore.

Why Fixing Your Defects Will Skyrocket Your Success with Women

Okay, I get this type of letter all the time…

A lot of my readers send me emails which talk about their physical defects and how they're preventing them from meeting and attracting women.

For instance, many guys feel they're too bald or overweight to attract a woman. In fact these men OBSESS over these *flaws* so much that they become paralyzed with fear when talking to a woman.

So let me set the record straight on this...

First off, you CAN attract women no matter what you look like.

I've seen some of the UGLIEST and FATTEST guys attract women just by having an interesting personality.

And you can do the same!

BUT...

There are times when you feel like a physical characteristic is holding you back. My advice is to fix what you can and ACCEPT the things you can't control.

For instance, say you're a short person. Because your height is something you CAN'T fix, you know there is nothing you can do to become taller. So instead of worrying about being short, learn to develop your flirting skills to the point where your height WON'T MATTER.

On the other hand, if you have a physical defect which you can control, make every attempt to change it.

For instance if you're overweight, try losing a few pounds. Or if you're going bald, try to shave your head and cultivate a unique look. (It's worked for Bruce Willis and Jason Statham).

Just remember that no matter you look like, your success with women is not dictated by your looks or defects. If you can learn to attract women through your personality, then you'll get past the physical flaws that you think are holding you back.

Tips for Free Wedding Stuff!

What could be better than cheap? It has to be free wedding stuff!

Follow these tips and you could save yourself a fortune on your wedding.

Shop Loyalty Cards

We all have them, in my case they should be called dis-loyalty cards as I have most of the major shop loyalty cards. Have a look at where you can spend your reward points, with a number of cards you can swap your points for luxury hotel stays or spa treatments or even money off at department stores. You could save these up and use them for your honeymoon or as presents for your bridesmaids and at no cost to you.

If you have a company car or use a lot of petrol then sign up to a loyalty card that rewards you with what you like, it's like shopping for the honeymoon reward card! You do need to make sure you stay loyal otherwise you won't be able to maximise the rewards.

Hotel Loyalty Cards

Most of the hotel chains have a loyalty scheme, look at their company websites for details. Before you book your wedding at a hotel definately look at what their loyalty scheme could offer you, as it is unlikely that they will promote a reward scheme with a wedding booking. You may need to join the loyalty scheme before you book to take advantage of it. Just think how many points you would earn on a £4000+ reception! You could then redeem the points for your honeymoon or for accommodation for your guests.

Remember to keep an eye on the small print!

If you or your partner have to travel a lot for business this is a great way of gaining points without you having to spend a penny. Airmiles or hotel points are all useful for your wedding planning.

Competitions

I know it may feel like a long shot but look to enter competitions to win holidays or your dream wedding. Some service providers run competitions for discounted photographs or flowers, they do this to increase traffic to their site and build their database and you could be the lucky one! Somebody has to win them.

Why Planning Out Your Night Will Help You Sleep with More Women

Imagine this situation…

You're talking with a woman and you've done everything right. You've built attraction, she's into you and you're receiving all the signs that she wants to make things intimate. In fact, you're sure she wants to go home with you.

The problem is you are 45 minutes from your home. So all the time you've spent on attracting her will lead to nothing.

Now unless you can talk her into going to her place or to a hotel room, you'll probably lose out on an opportunity to "close the deal" that night.

To prevent this from happening, you should ALWAYS plan out the logistics for the night.

In other words, if you know you're going to be far away from your house, plan on ONLY setting up dates or getting a woman's phone number. Thus your goal is to build attraction and set up future encounters.

On the other hand, if you go to places near your home, then you have a lot of possibilities. You could either plan on setting up future dates or you could work to bring women back to your home.

Furthermore if you want to bring women back to your home, you should plan on setting things up for a seductive environment. So you need to clean your house and set up the right kind of mood in your bedroom. Then when you meet a woman, you have a place where you can "continue your conversation".

By planning out your evening and knowing what you're trying to achieve, you'll make it easy to achieve your outcomes.

So always think about your location and how to it will affect your pick-up techniques.
