Components of a Christian Ceremony

Posted in Uncategorized

I have never coordinated two weddings that are the same. There are several different components that can be included in your wedding to make it personal to the relationship you have with your fiance. I have put together the traditional order of events for a Christian or non-denominational wedding. By no means do you need to stick with this order, feel free to switch it up and add little touches here and there to make it even more special.

Officiant enters
Groom’s grandparents are seated
Bride’s grandparents are seated

Wedding Program

Posted in Uncategorized, Wedding Obsessions

A program is presented to guests as they arrive to the ceremony. Typically, the program is handed out by a guest book attendant (cousin or niece). Programs are not required, but provide guests names of those in the wedding party, readings, and any details needed for the reception. The bride and groom usually write a letter to be published within the program that expresses their thanks to those that helped make everything possible.

Items to be included within Program:

Order of Events
Names of people with roles in the ceremony
Music that will be played
Meaning behind special rituals taking place during the ceremony
Note from the bride and groom
Optional: Favorite quote of the bride and the groom, name of a deceased relative or friend

Bridal Shower Ideas

Posted in Uncategorized, Wedding Obsessions

The purpose of the bridal shower is to celebrate and help the bride prepare for her new home. The bridal shower is typically held two to three months before the wedding. Traditionally, the maid-of-honor hosts the party; however, other bridesmaids and the mother of the bride have become popular leaders for organizing the event. The role of the bride is to provide the guest list, provide input when asked, enjoy the party, and write thank you notes for gifts.

Having a theme for a bridal shower adds a new element for the guests to participate in. Think about a few of these ideas and see if you think it will make the party a fun treat for all!

Alphabet Shower- each guest is assigned a letter and is asked to bring a gift that begins with that letter.
Around-the-House Shower- each guest is assigned a room in the house and is asked to bring a gift that is associated with that room.
Kitchen Shower- guests are asked to bring an item that might help out the bride in the kitchen. This can be a fun idea for the inexperienced cook.
Lingerie Shower- guests are asked to bring lingerie or item that will promote bedroom action. Bride will have to provide sizes prior to the shower. (This type of shower is often held as a separate shower for the bride and her close family and friends).
Recipe Shower- guests are asked to bring a recipe and the items needed to make the dish.
Stock-the-Bar Shower- guests are asked to bring alcoholic drinks, mixers, and bar items as gifts. (This type of shower is popular with coed
showers).
