Wedding Planning? Prevent favorite guests comparing your second
wedding, to the first. It isn't tricky but it may take some
thought. Whether guests will or will not compare weddings is
likely to be determined by the brides status.
Yes, it may be hypocritical, but for wedding planning; if it is
the brides first wedding, she often can have as elaborate a
wedding as she pleases. She can use all the traditional clothes
and customs because it just doesnt matter that it is the
grooms second wedding.
But if it is the brides second wedding you are planning, there
are limitations in the minds of many guests. These things should
be known and they can be dealt with in a constructive, reliable
way.
Here are eight useful tips..
To start lets make a guest list. Go get your essentials first.
You know, pencil, paper and a "cuppa tea". Put your head
together and give this some focused thought. Prepare to
visualize the ceremony.
Hang out the "Do Not Disturb unless you have cash" sign. Now
you're ready.
1. Pare down the guest list to the ceremony itself. This list
must include members of the families and very close friends of
the couple. That pretty much means parents, grandparents,
uncles, aunts, siblings, godparents and just your closest
friends.
2. The bride should avoid the full length gown and veil. Wear a
bridal gown that is quite formal, of course, and three quarters
length or even street length but no veil. The Bridal Bouquet is
always appropriate.
3. Everyone has a wedding cake. That is always proper for second
weddings. However, throwing the bouquet, wearing the garter and
throwing rice arent.
4. The reception can be as elaborate, exuberant and even wild as
you wish. It makes no difference who is getting married for the
second time.
5. Do not invite socially sensitive guests such as former
in-laws and former spouses. If the children are at the wedding
you can invite the grandparents. But that leads us to another
point.
6. Get the former spouses approval before you invite the

attending the wedding.
7. They can participate too. It makes them feel wanted and
needed. Children age 7 or 8 can be in charge of the guestbook or
pass the cake, while older children, say 13 or 14 can be an
attendant if they are fully aware of the significance of the
occasion.
8. Realize, some guests being invited to a second wedding gave
generous gifts at the time of the first wedding. Some of these
people may or may not be attending this time, for whatever the
reason. But they may still send a small gift and a note. This
serves mainly as a symbol that they approve, for which you can
be grateful. It certainly deserves a thank you note.
In summary: You will think of more ways to address this
potential wedding planning problem. But these tips can be relied
upon to work and to point you in the direction you most want.
So, dont discard them too quickly.
May you have a very happy Wedding Day. You know, the memory will
last your lifetime.
