Have you and your fiancé been discussing about having two
wedding ceremonies but feel that it is just too complicated? Well DON’T FRET about it, following
are TOP 10 TIPS that may help you:
1. You may have to hire your Vendors for additional hours than
anticipated – esp. photog / cinematographer
2. Take
care of your guests because this will be a long day for them– contact me for
ideas
3. Try to
take pictures with the extended families from both sides before your first
ceremony
4. Consult
your beautician for the day to ensure your hair/makeup schedules does not
conflict with the event timings and decide in advance on the two looks that are easy to turn-over
5. Organize
your outfits / jewelry / shoes to the T separated in two different areas of the
room
6. If
possible, try to have both ceremonies at same location! Will save you time and money
7. Again the basics but very important:
Create 2 Separate Boxes of the items you may require for the two ceremonies and
deliver them to the venue in advance!
8. Create
Ceremony Programs because they can keep your guests informed about the
course of events and can also translate any cultural traditions / variations /
readings between the two ceremonies. It
is always about the DETAILS!
9. When
you send out your invitations, list the timings of both ceremonies on the
invite as well as have two RSVP cards – this can help guests with infants or
other needs, plan their day accordingly
10. Plan
the décor of your ceremonies such that the TURN-AROUND between the ceremonies is under an hour! What if
you need to have both ceremonies in same room due to inclement weather? Spend just as much time on putting together a
PLAN B as you would on PLAN A!
MOST IMPORTANTLY, If this is too overwhelming, I AM JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY!
