Sporting Events Tips For Your Wedding
Sports-minded couples are increasingly finding ways to incorporate their active lifestyles into their wedding planning options. Organized tennis, biking, hiking, skiing, kayaking and even hockey are some of the ways brides are keeping guests entertained and keeping themselves relaxed. Some look upon a friendly tourney or sporting event as a moment of Zen, a way to blow off wedding-planning stress and instill a bit of normalcy into a whirlwind weekend.
Once you decide to make an organized activity part of your wedding weekend, set plans early, especially if you're scheduling it for a weekend. Drum up excitement by sending out separate invitations. Include a note about what attire is recommended for the activity and what equipment will be supplied. Giving out token prizes to participants for additional fun. Offer options for those who want to hang back and opt out of the activities, even if it's providing a comfortable seat to enjoy their roles as spectator and cheerleaders.

Guide in Arranging Wedding Day Seating
For some couples, trying to figure out where to seat guests becomes less about creating a festive atmosphere than keeping warring factions apart. So seating aunts who hold grudges against cousins, divorced parents, and friends who have not seen eye-to-eye since high school can add a lot of unnecessary stress to an already strained situation. Here are some bridal planning tips on how to avoid these situations.
It's customary for a wedding reception to feature separate tables for the parents of the bride, the parents of the groom and respective family and close friends. The bridal party table is often set apart at one side or end of the room, with the bride and groom sitting together in the center, facing out toward their guests.Many modern couples maintain the tradition of a bridal party table, however, it's perfectly fine to mix it up when it comes to the rest of the table, with the bridesmaids on one side, groomsmen on the other, or allowing them to mix as they wish.
For many brides, divorced parents and feuding relatives or friends can be a fact of life. Some may even refuse to attend your event if their sworn enemy is known to be invited. So it's important that you have to discuss this matter with your parents or friends directly and individually and assure them that you will do your best to avoid uncomfortable situations. To further ensure harmony throughout the whole process, be sure to steer feuding parties clear of each other as much as possible through assigned seating and separate pre-wedding events.

Wedding Invitations Etiquette
The very first introduction your guests will have to your wedding day is your wedding invitation. Traditional etiquette gurus, such as Emily Post, have tons of tips to make sure there are no blunders on what is often your first venture into the world of the formal invite. Here are some tips for wedding invitations that could help in bridal planning.
The basics of traditional wedding invitation for formal wedding invites are typically ivory, soft cream and white. Heavyweight paper is a must for formal invites. For traditional brides, shaded and antique Roman typefaces engraved on the invite are what they prefer, but for a modern bride, there is no limit when it comes to font and printing options. When addressing your invitations, partners of invited guests-married, engaged or living together-should always be included. For a wedding invitation, the only information that should be included on the invite is who, the when, and the where.
Remember, according to Ms. Manners, “The purpose of etiquette is to create an environment that allows everyone to feel comfortable”. Consider your guests’ feelings as well as your own when crafting every step of the wedding experience and you’ll find that even if your invite is unique and outside of the norm, it will be a joy for your friends and family to receive and will have them looking forward to your big day.
