Getting Married

Did you know that today weddings are more than just a singular event?

First, there is the engagement party to celebrate and share the big news. It is a great way for your families and friends to get to know each other. For those with especially long engagements, engagement parties are held one to three months after the engagement, and/or about a year before the big day.

Then its on to the bridal shower which can either be just for the bride and her quests or it can be a couple’s event held usually 4-6 weeks prior to the wedding.

The bachelor and bachelorette parties are becoming more of a coordinated event than the traditional rowdy party. These parties can be either separate or together depending on the couple’s tastes.

There’s the rehearsal dinner which is held usually the night before the wedding and includes the wedding party and special guests.

The big day has finally arrived and when it comes to the wedding itself depending on the family size, age of the couple, and their wishes it can be either a large formal event or an intimate private occasion in a special location
Now, if you thought that was it and then on to the honeymoon you would be right except for the post-wedding brunch which is for the couple's families and any wedding guests that are still around or in town. It's a winding-down party, when the newly married bride and groom get to say a final thank-you to their guests and spend a little more time with loved ones.
