SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION can stick to tradition, but keep the ceremony more succinct.
• Communicate roles for the wedding party. Having designated people to handle a variety of tasks at the wedding fosters efficiency and can save time by moving things along. It also allows for smooth transitions during parts of the ceremony. For example, the maid of honor traditionally holds the bride’ s bouquet during the ceremony. But other bridesmaids can be enlisted to hold items or fix the bride’ s train or veil as well.
• Select one venue. Holding the wedding ceremony and reception in the same place cuts down on travel time and logistical issues for both the guests and those involved in the wedding. It also reduces necessary costs for transportation.
• Choose a nearby location. Asking guests and vendors to travel great distances can add time to the wedding festivities. Selecting a centrally located ceremony site and reception hall will streamline many of the steps people would have to take to attend. It also might remove the need to arrange overnight accommodations for the wedding.
• Hire a wedding coordinator. A professional planner and coordinator will keep the wedding moving along on time and ensure a smooth process. This professional can remain emotionally neutral, solve problems and ensure that everyone is in the right place.
Streamlining a wedding and making it more efficient can save time and money. V
