The Wedding Date - Helpful tips on how to pick your special day.
Now that you have announced your engagement it is time to choose your special date! You may find this process a little challenging but there are a few key things to put into consideration that will make it a little easier.
Dream Venue
It's very important to determine what your "dream" venue would be. Once you’ve done that, contact the venue to inquire what dates are available. This will help you determine what dates/seasons you have to choose from for you special “I Do” day.
Choosing a Season
If you have chosen a venue that has an open schedule and you have your pick of any season, or you are getting married in a state that has beautiful weather all year long, you may have trouble deciding which season is for you. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter months all have different pros and cons. Although you may not be even remotely interested in having, for example, a winter wedding, you may be surprised at the advantages. Winter is generally less expensive and your favorite venue may possibly be available on more dates. Sitting down with your fiancé and writing out a list of pros and cons to all four seasons may help make this choice easier.
Be flexible
Deciding what day of the week seems like an easy choice, but you may find this to be more of a challenge than you thought. Typically Saturday is the most common and convenient day to have a wedding, but on occasion a Saturday isn’t always available. However, it is not unheard of to have your wedding on a Friday or Sunday. Although a Friday might be more inconvenient for your guests, it will more than likely not carry the higher price tag venues charge for a Saturday event, as Fridays are not highest in demand. Same goes for Sundays. If you still have your heart set on a Saturday wedding, changing your season or venue might also be appealing at this point.
“VIP” Guests
Regardless of what day of the week and date you choose, it is important to first keep in mind all of the "VIP” guests that will be attending the wedding. These people are immediate families of bride and groom, your bridal party and close friends. Take a quick poll to find out if any of these VIPs have plans for your special day. PLEASE DO NOT STRESS OVER EVERYONE! Worrying about only those important people will be a lot easier on you. You can't make everyone happy and it is inevitable that there will be a few invited guests who won’t be able to attend the wedding.
Stray From National Holidays – Unless a Destination Wedding
Unless it represents something important to you, it is recommended not to have your special day on any holidays that might keep your guests away. For example, July 4th, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all holidays when folks tend to head out of town on vacation. A better choice would be a significant date in your relationship or possibly the anniversary of beloved parents or grandparents. However with that said, this could also be a fabulous time for a destination wedding if your entire family does holiday traveling together. That is most definitely something to consider in detail, as obviously there are other elements involved in planning destination weddings.
Some couples find the date picking task easier than others. They choose a day that represents something significant; the first day they met, their first kiss, or a special family anniversary. Some just choose a random day because they like the way the date sounds when said aloud or it’s more convenient for them and their guests. For the rest of you who are still struggling with the decision, I sincerely hope that you found a few if not all of these tips helpful in choosing your wedding date!

Wedding Do's and Do NOT
Your Guide to a successful wedding
The Do’s
•Do: Outline a realistic budget. These are mandatory to keep you on track and stress free.
•Do: give yourself plenty of time to plan and work with your planner.
•Do: organize all of the pieces of the wedding. A binder which includes separate tabs for wedding professionals, appointments, contracts, gown/dress swatches, etc. is a great investment.
•Do: prepare and follow a timetable of events, including appointments, deposits & payments, review contract terms, fittings, etc..
•Do: Hire a coordinator to handle every aspect of the wedding day. (highly recommended) To ensure your wedding day is truly “your special day” every item must be coordinated.
•Do: Hire professionals that you are comfortable with. If you are not comfortable speaking with someone, or if it seems like your questions or inquiries are just brushed off, then it would probably be a good idea to seek out someone else.
•Do: enjoy yourself. This will be one of the most memorable times in your lives.
•Do: Talk, Talk, Talk, Express your wishes and desires….if you don’t speak up no one knows what you really want…
The Do NOT
•Do not: procrastinate in your planning – hire all of your wedding professionals as soon as the date is set or as soon as possible. Some of the best wedding planners and vendors are scooped up 6 months to a year in advance.
•Do Not: Accept something because it is easier and you don’t want to hurt feelings… You are paying ..IT”S YOUR WEDDING….You need and deserve to get what YOU want!!!
•Do not: hire your wedding professionals until you have a working budget. Know what you can afford and if you are pressed for money, budget more for the items that are going to matter the most and less for the non essential “frills”.
•Do not: hire professionals just because they’re the cheapest – Like everything in life, you get what you pay for. Your wedding is one of the most important days in your lives, make sure that the memories you have will be good ones.
•Do not: hire the first professional you meet – We reccomend you check out a minimum of 3 for a proper comparison.
•Do not: be afraid to ask questions. If you are unsure of something “ask”. The only “stupid” question is the one that wasn’t asked!!!
•Do not: assume anything! – get everything in writing. CONTRACT – CONTRACT – CONTRACT.
•Do not: make decisions without consulting your mate – it’s their wedding also.
•Do not: invite everyone you’ve ever known. – weddings are expensive.
•DO NOT: worry about everyone else’s advise – its YOUR wedding. I repeat ….IT’S “YOUR” WEDDING!! You should have what you and your fiance want…. To me this is in the top of what you need to remember when planning your wedding..

Why Hire a Wedding Planner??
Most brides in todays economy are trying to save money and who can blame them! But planning a wedding can be a stressful time, especially if all the details are disorganized or as most of our couples you are coming a great distance and it is actually difficult to be hands on at any given time.. The last thing any couple wants to do is haggle over particulars and obsess over details. At Magical Moment Weddings we can take care of any item, no matter how small. Once given the couple’s price range, we can weed out any vendor who doesn’t fall within the confines of your budget.
Another important factor to consider is we work for you. We act as your mediator for those hard to sometimes handle family members or friends who want to offer their advice! Ask any bride how much help they had from family and friends and most if honest will tell you Way to much. At Magical Moment Weddings we listen to everyone and offer solutions and compromises when needed but always remember that it is your wedding and honor your wishes first and foremost!
We offer many different coordinating packages on our Website magicalmomentweddings.com and if we don't offer exactly what you need we are more than happy to custom design one to fit your wedding needs.

Start Spreading the NEWS!!!
Imagine. It’s sunset. You’re walking hand in hand with your sweetie down the sun kissed beach. All of a sudden he stops. He drops to one knee and you are now in the moment you have dreamed of since you were a little girl. Your breath catches as he utters those four little words you will never forget, “Will you marry me?” You immediately say “YES!” in your most excited voice and you embrace in a loving hug. In all the excitement you will probably call your immediate families to share the wonderful news, but what about everyone else? Sure, you could shout it from the mountain top or a roof top even, but that would probably strain your voice and you really want to be able to say “I Do” when the time comes. :) The following is a list of four ideas out of many currently available in which to spread your fabulous news without straining your voice or your pocket book.
1. Instant sharing
If you want to reach virtually everyone in an instant without spending a dime, then Facebook or Twitter is the way to go! Update your relationship status and everyone is bound to notice! All you have to do it sit back and watch as your wall is filled and tweets are all a buzz with congratulations.
2. Tell them with pictures
Take your favorite photograph of the two of you together or schedule an engagement session with a local photographer and use those photographs to create unique announcement post cards. You can use any online printing service for this. There are a number of different sites but the two I’ve seen most advertised online are Snapfish.com and Shutterfly.com. Once your announcement post cards have arrived, all you’ll have to do is address, stamp and mail. It couldn’t get any easier. Rates and styles vary from company to company, so shop around a little before you make your final decision.
3. Create a wedding website
Almost all bride and grooms to be have a wedding website these days. It’s a simple and easy way to share your engagement story, your bridal party updates, and of course pictures just to name a few, with everyone at once. Once you’ve created your website simply copy and paste the link into an email and send away. Oh, and did I mention most wedding websites are FREE! :)
4. Send a video ECard
TheKnot.com now offers video ECards. You and your fiancé can create a personalized engagement announcement that is sure to be remembered for years to come. Choose a theme (a ballroom, beach, or barnyard) with music to match, and upload your favorite photos of each other. Your smiling heads will be connected to kooky dancing bodies as you star in a musical production guaranteed to get a laugh. Want them to be unique and different for various family and friends? Make one of all three! It can be emailed to just one person or to the whole of your guest list, and it’s FREE! Go for it, head on over to http://global.theknot.com/sitelets/ritani/ecard/ and give it a try for yourself!
