Ceremony Music
Your guests are likely to be waiting for around 20-30 minutes for the service to begin, so rather than them have to wait in silence, carefully choose some ambient prelude music that will suit the tone and mood of your ceremony.

Disposable cameras

Added to that are often grainy, poorly lit photos, which will most probably make it nowhere near your wedding day photo album. Instead, ask your guests to take digital photos with cameras, or their mobile phones and send them to you electronically - you'll get far better quality pictures.

Drinking Tip
Dont get carried away and drink too much early in your wedding day - the day will literally just fly-by anyway, so you want to remember as much as possible, as clearly as possible!

First dance
If you're feeling adventurous, why not surprise your guests with your first dance and take professional dancing lessons? This can be as simple as learning the waltz - or as elaborate as learning a full on dance routine with your hubby! It'll give you and your intended, something extra special to share before, during and after your wedding day - and the looks on your guests; faces will be priceless.

Outdoors Fun!
If there's a grassy area outside of your reception, see if you can set up a game like croquet or soft tennis - or other over-sized games. This is a great fun for children and adults alike1 you'll need permission from the venue first,of course.

Seating
Try having a U-shape or E-shape table configuration for your wedding breakfast- this will mean that you and your guests can all see one another, which facilitates conversation and mingling.

Shop Early
If you're a stickler for detail and you want everything to be 'just-so' in terms of theme and/or color coordination, then make sure you shop for the finer detail early on. You don't want to find yourself stressing a week before the wedding, because you can't find the exact shade of lilac ribbon for your flower girl's pony tail!

Weather Watch!

Unfortunately, you're on to a loser in terms of being able to feel reassured that the sun will make a glorious appearance on the day. Instead, choose to have a pragmatic stance about the weather and talk with your photographer about alternatives for inside photos, if need be.
And even if the heavens do decide to ope, you'll be far too ecstatic to care!

Wedding Cocktail
Make-up your own cocktail, (or use your favorite cocktail) and name it after you and your husband! If you can stretch to it,have it in a punch bowl and allow the guests to help themselves.
