Five Details Not to Miss on Your Wedding Day

Months of planning and you feel like you finally have everything ready for the special day. But, here's a list of some things you may have forgotten to take care of.

1. Directions and signage
You may be thinking... I gave everyone the address and a Google maps print out with the invitations. But remember some of your guests may need navigation once at the wedding. Signage around the venue saying "Smith Ceremony Here" or "Anderson Reception in the Grand Ballroom" will help you guests navigate to where they belong without having them guess they are in the right place. If you have enough time before the wedding you can add instructions on your wedding website, if not there are several ways you can create cute signs to show people where to go. If it's an outdoor wedding make a wooden sign with a painted arrow on it. If your ceremony has a more sophisticated feel try printing scripted font onto black and white frames.

2. The Entrance Way
It doesn't matter what you do in life first impressions will always stand out in other people's minds. Creating an entryway that's personalized with make the site look more welcoming to guests. There are several ways you can accent your entry way. If your having an outdoor wedding you can hang leis of beautiful flowers, add lights to trees and bushes for a romantic feel, or buy some sun catching glass ornaments to shimmer. If your getting married in church or ballroom have your entry way decorated with a beautiful arragment placed on an escort card table.

3. Escort Cards
Escort cards are an important part of the wedding because they save your guests the pressure and time involved in searching for a seat at the reception. This also ensures that parents and grandparents get a prime seats, and your college friends get seats
right by the dance floor. Escort cards are as easy to make as 1-2-3. Many stores such as Michael's and Party City offer escort cards you can make yourself with cute novelties to have them places on.

4. The Guest Book
The best way to get all your guests involved in signing the guest book is to show off your creativity in personalizing it. We've all seen the bland, boring guests books that just have lines for you write your name in. If you're looking for something a little more fun and festive try providing a Polaroid camera for your guests to take a picture of themselves with. Then can then add the picture to the guest book and write something special along with it.

5. The Exit
Almost as important as the entrance is the exit. This is the last thing your guests see the final exclamation point to your wedding. Several things you can do to spruce up the exit. One popular trend now a days is to hire professional to shoot off fireworks. If you're on a budget have your guests light sparklers as you depart. Another idea to have a cool getaway is to splurge on your getaway transportation. You can get very creative with this idea, either drive away in a vintage care or drive off on a rented moped. Either way don't forget to add the 'Just Married' sign to the back.
