Wedding Party
How Much Say Should The Wedding Party Have Over The Date?
I am planning an April wedding. My maid of honor listed three dates that month, two of which were Sundays (the day of the week we planned to marry) that she requested I not choose as the date. Those dates are her little young relatives birthdays. She doesn't want to miss their birthdays by being in my wedding. I told her that I would do what I could, but there's a good chance the wedding might fall on one of the dates she didn't want me to use. My feeling is that I will only get married once, where as her relatives will have birthdays every year, and therefore she shouldn't get all bent out of shape if she has to miss a party. The only problem is that a few other members of her family are invited, and I'm afraid that they may feel obligated to choose the child's party over attendance. How much say should the wedding party really have? I can justify some objections they might have, but its OUR big day, and we have to do it when it works for us, the venue, the caterers, etc.
Well, birthdays come once a year, but one's fifth birthday is only once.
I'm inclined to disagree with the other answers.
Keeping the obligations and needs of one's guests is important.
It isn't "your" day, though it is your wedding day.
You're putting caterers' wants ahead of those of people you actually care about. That sounds backwards to me.
It sounds like her family makes a big deal of birthdays.
If you were about to turn, say, seven, and your family makes a big deal of birthdays, that would be devastating to lose out on your special day. I can understand why they wouldn't want to do that to their own little ones.
It's not until next April. I bet you could accomodate someone you care enough about to ask to be your maid of honor.
The day isn't just yours. It's a day when you and your hubby-to-be are creating a new family, in the presence of your loved ones.
You need to consider the well-being of those loved ones, as well as your own wants.
It's not so much about her having a say, as about your wanting her there and not wanting to put her in a terrible spot of choosing between you and her family.
Party planning is not so difficult, whether you are going to organize a private or a corporate party. You should only have some planning and implementation capabilities. To start, first you must understand the concept or theme of party you are going to organize. Preparation of the party should reflect its theme. So, its very important that you understand the nature of your theme.
There can be different party themes based on the occasion and requirements. Like party can be any private party, religious party, corporate or organizational level party. You can wide your ideas based on its theme like new year party, Christmas party, kitty party, get-together party, dance party, disco party, corporate party, private party, DJ Night, ramp show, fashion show, annual day function, any private or public seminar, anniversary party, holiday party, rain dance party, school/college functions and many other events.
To organize best you should keep in mind each and every aspect for the party. Like how many people are about to come in the party. Whether the party is in day time or it's a night event. Decision about venue should be as per function time and based on number of persons to come in the party. Hall for the party should be specious for all the coming visitors and most important is entrance should have a good space and should be decorated beautifully with nice flowers and other decorations.
After venue and decorations next comes food for the party. Menu should be decided based on the choice of visitors or quests. Like mostly what do they like. Items can be a mix of Thai food, Chinese food, Indian food and some other. A little refreshment is also required with some cold drinks etc.
If your party or event is on some big level or you don't have enough time for all the arrangements, you can also hire any party planner. A party planner provides you best services and suggestions based the theme of your party. He can give you different choices for venue and foods. And then you can choose the services from them based on your requirement and budget.

Brian De Palma's first feature is not entirely his own (friends Wilford Leach and Cynthia Munroe are credited as codirectors), and that may explain why this whimsical black-and-white comedy reveals no early hint of the Hitchcockian thrillers that De Palma be... |
