Best Man Speech tips and ideas
Best Man Speech tips and ideas
A best man's speech can make or break a wedding but by using common sense you can make sure your toast is remembered for all the right reasons
A wedding is certainly a nerve racking day for the couple of the day, but the nerves also extend to the best man who has the difficult job of coming up with a memorable speech at the reception.
The main problem people have with their speech is that they overcomplicate things and make things harder for themselves. A good best man's speech should be short and snappy - more than five minutes and people's thought start to wander, longer than seven and people start to get bored. While brevity is important, it's good to use two minutes as your minimum marker. Read more...

The Joys of Selecting Wedding Themes
For the imaginative couple, you may want to break away from the traditional church and reception hall theme. And many more couples are trying something outside of this standard, so you're sure to find whatever the two of you can think of.

Suggestions for booking wedding entertainment. How to choose a DJ, band or wedding musician
Try to remember the last wedding you attended. Was it six months ago? A year? Perfect. Now try to remember what hors'douvres were served during cocktail hour. Tough one, right? How about this, do you remember the favor you got? Maybe, maybe not. Now here's an easy one: Did you have a good time? Did you dance all night? Was the entertainment great? Or was it horrible?
If you are like most people, chances are you'll remember the entertainment more than anything at a party. Entertainment leaves the most indelible memory after any affair. So it only stands to reason that the guests you invite to your wedding will have the same impression. Long after the memory of how your flowers looked has faded from their minds, long after they've forgotten about those invitations you sent out, they'll remember how great a time they had, dancing and celebrating with the Bride and Groom.
It is for this reason that you should book the entertainment for your wedding reception early. You should be very clear about what you want and how you want your day to run. You should shop around. You should call references. You should see your Band or DJ live, not just on videotape. You should insist on guaranteeing a specific person or specific players once you reserve your entertainment. And, it is for this reason, that if you're going to cut some financial corners at your reception, you should try someplace else. Don't order match books for example, or go with the three hour open bar instead of five.
Spend your money wisely on your wedding day for entertainment, and you are virtually guaranteed to have a memorable, fun, exciting day. The following are some tips to help you when "shopping around" for entertainment. Many of these suggestions apply for other services as well, your photographer or videographer for example, but for the purpose of this article we'll deal strictly with Entertainment services for your reception: Read more...
