Wedding photographers and videographers are often present during a wedding ceremony and reception program. The couple can ask these professionals to take as many photos and videos as they can to ensure that every nice moment in the event is captured.

They can also have group photos after the wedding ceremony. This way everyone can have a photo or video that they can treasure. The guests would also feel that they are special if they have a photo with the couple.

It is also advisable to have a picture per table or per family during the reception program. This is one way to help the wedding be more organized in terms of photos and videos.

• Always have open communication with the guests days before the wedding day

Communication is one key to make a wedding a successful one. The couple should be open to their guests, even when they are very busy, days before the wedding day. This can help inform them in case of minimal changes in the upcoming wedding day.

Connecting with the guests days before the wedding days can also benefit the couple. The guests might have suggestions or recommendations that the couple can consider.

• Ask your guests if they need any help or if they have concerns

The couple should assist their guests in any problems that arise. For example, the time and date of the ceremony and transportation. The couple should find a venue that is accessible to all their guests.

 

• Seating arrangement during the reception program

A reception program is held right after the wedding ceremony to celebrate the special day. Only limited seats are allowed per table. A minimum of 6 and a maximum of 20 per table is the usual case. The couple should organize the seating arrangement so that every guest would have their table and they would not feel that they are left behind.

The couple should also put together those guests who they know are comfortable with each other. This can help to set up the mood and avoid awkward feeling among the guests.

• Organizing the partners for the wedding entourage

People included in the wedding entourage need to have a partner while walking down the aisle. They can be a couple, a mutual friend, or even acquaintances. However, the couple should assign a partner to one of their wedding entourage that they think will be comfortable with each other.

Examples of the wedding entourage that walks by pair in the aisle are the bridesmaids and groomsmen, the sponsors of the chord, candle, and veil, and the parents of the bride and the groom.

• Having pre-wedding and post-wedding parties

The most common is the bridal shower. This party usually includes bride and her friends.

Some couples prefer to have an after-party when the reception program is over. This is also one way for the couple to show gratitude to their guests. And for them to spend more time with their family and friends.
