If you have chosen to hold your wedding on the most joyous season of the year, you surely have chosen a completely magical time. The main theme of Christmas is love and there’s no denying the spirit of romance in the air, no matter how frightful the weather typically is — all these elements can definitely work for your wedding. However, due to the bulk of activities during this particular season, as well as the often challenging climate, more than adequate preparations are critical to securing the joy on your wedding day.
To help you set everything in order and make your Christmas wedding a complete success, here are 12 wedding tips.
- Determine how you’ll “marry” the joy of the season and the joy of your wedding. Decide what types of décor you’ll use, as well as the favors you’ll be giving away. It’s best to have a concrete plan for all these so you can make early purchases, take advantage of the lower prices of Christmas products “off-season,” and really have all these things taken care of weeks before the wedding.
- Book your wedding venue really early because there are so many celebrations during the Christmas season and various organizations are also booking elegant venues for their own events.
- Make your dinner menu fancy and Christmas-y. Your guests are doing away with their own Christmas celebration to be part of your wedding, so it would be a treat for them to still be able to enjoy traditional Christmas fare.
- Warm beverages and soup are a must. Hot cocoa, cider, spiced wine, eggnog, tea, and soup will not only keep your guests cozy but you can also help prevent them from getting sick because cold weather suppresses the immune system. The last thing you want is for people to say that they got sick because they attended your wedding.
- List down essential items that can ensure the comfort of your guests. Whether it snows or rains on your wedding day, one thing’s for sure: It’s going to be quite a chilly day, so make sure you and your guests will stay warm and dry. Have umbrellas ready, install heaters at the venue, provide towels to help guests dry off should they get wet, and even offer some blankets.
- If you’ll be inviting guests from overseas or from a different state, let them know as soon as possible that you’re having a Christmas wedding so they can make travel arrangements early as well and avoid the holiday rush.
- Get your playlist of Christmas and love songs ready.
- Amp up the romance of the occasion by placing kissing balls and mistletoes in different parts of the wedding venue.
- Hiring carolers to provide music during cocktail hour or the reception will be a nice touch.
- Keep your guests warm by working them out a bit — encourage dancing!
- Instead of a gift table, you can use a Christmas tree as the place for your guests to leave their presents for you.
- Don’t forget “you” and turn into your “something blue” on your wedding day; make sure that you have a warm coat to wear, gloves and even earmuffs when you’re done with the ceremony.
