Still Overwhelmed?! Ideas...

  • Try hiring a Wedding Planner or Coordinator we recommend on our Suggested Vendors page. There are also Invitation services online on The Knot and Wedding Wire websites.
  • Ask your friends, coworkers or colleagues who married to recommend an Invitation Service.  Sometimes those companies can offer solutions to invitation dilemmas and awkward decisions. 
  • Another popular solution is to ELOPE alone for a happy, warm, EASY private beach wedding. Hire a videographer (we recommend Bob Collins at www.bobvox.com). Later on, you throw a big reception party dinner & cake back home complete with a large viewing screen for the video! 
  • Invite everyone who wants to view your wedding video and celebrate!  For extra party time fun, you can:
    • ‘Re-enact’ the ceremony with a fun-natured loved one Officiating
    • Get friends/family to stand up as Best Man, Best Dog, best Woman, Flower Boy, etc. 
    • Wear your wedding dress and suit again for that party! 
    • Carry a small bouquet and THROW IT.  Or throw a bridal scarf or hat!
    • Have toasts and songs from Guests, a cake Cutting and Feeding, have your First Dance, Daddy/Daughter or Mommy/Son dances, do the Shoe Game, Dollars Dance, Broom Jump, a Photo Booth, sign a Quilt or Ketubbah, do karaoke, etc.   
    • Have fun with getting  people involved in the FUN!
