Planning the bachelor party, organizing tuxedo rental and returns, organizing the groomsmen, holding the ring during the ceremony and offering the first toast at the reception are just a few of the responsibilities that the best man bears in a wedding. Many brides have a difficult time relinquishing any responsibilities involved with planning her wedding for fear of losing control but it's really in her best interests to learn to delegate responsibilities.
Deciding who will throw the bridal shower for the bride is the first thing to consider. A wedding is already a financial strain on most couples and it is important to realize that your love for each other is enough and that you don't have to exchange gifts on your wedding day if you don't wish to do so. While the solution of having one culture control the ceremony and another culture control the reception is one way to plan a multi-cultural wedding, many couple choose to blend both of the components of the wedding instead.
Even though the bride's parents are paying for the wedding, the couple may still opt for a simple wedding that does not put a financial strain on the parents. Many couples will opt for a full Mass to have the opportunity to receive additional blessings during their wedding. The address of the location that the bridal shower is going to held is another vital fact that should be listed on the invitations.
Traditional bridesmaid's gifts such as jewelry and jewelry boxes are always welcomed but if you have a large group of friends and most of them will be bridesmaids several more times as more of your friends get married it might be nice to give your bridesmaids a gift that is unique. While it is important to speak from the heart, it's also important to make sure that no one who has really gone out of their way to assist the couple is left out of the thank you speech.
