If you are marrying and you are older than age 55, chances are you've planned a
wedding before - perhaps once, perhaps twice. Regardless, weddings are still a
challenge to organize and you may want something simple this time. Here are tips
on how to keep it nice and easy:
- Remember the bride's and groom's attire doesn't have to be elaborate. Find
a nice, off-the-rack dress in a regular department store. If you aren't going
for the big white wedding, this is a reasonable alternative. Nothing says you
must have a traditional wedding again. For grooms, there is nothing wrong with
simply wearing a suit you already own. Just get a new shirt and tie, then add a
boutonniere and your outfit is complete.
- Avoid a big bridal party. The more bridesmaids and groomsmen you have, the
greater the potential stress and hassle. One or two attendants will provide
enough support and also save you money.
- Keep the guest list short. The smaller the guest list, the easier it is to
arrange for food, drink, centerpieces, musicians, favors, site rental and other
little extras. You can upgrade the food and liquor, and a more intimate crowd
allows the bride and groom to more easily mingle with their guests.
- Keep the flowers simple and in season. Use in-season flowers that are
locally grown instead of exotic flowers. Talk with your florist because there
are many varieties of roses, some very expensive while others are very
reasonable.
- If you and your guests are Web-savvy seniors, skip the formal, printed
invitations. By registering your dot-sr domain name through Dot(SR) Inc. at
www.register.sr, you can make it easier to send invitations, maps for guests and
thank you cards by doing it all online. You also can send your wedding photos to
all your friends afterwards; surely your grandchildren will take pictures with
their digital cameras. Using the Web will save on postage, printing,
long-distance phone calls and create a central place for all correspondence to
take place. It's a real time saver.
