Planning a wedding is an exciting and joyous endeavor. However, there are certain elements that can lead to confusion, disappointment, or unnecessary waste. Today, we want to talk about some things to reconsider!

False Start Times on Your Invitation

At Joelle Park Events Co., we always build in buffers to the wedding day timeline, so accuracy and clarity are key when it comes to your wedding invitation. False start times can cause confusion when guests discuss with each other, and leave them unsure about when to arrive. Early arrivals also end up waiting for an uncomfortable amount of time. To avoid this, and other mishaps, it's crucial to provide the correct start time on your invitation.

2. Displaying Your Cake Outside

While showcasing your wedding cake outdoors can create a stunning visual, it's important to consider the season and weather conditions. In summer months, high temperatures can cause cakes to melt or become unstable. To preserve the beauty and integrity of your cake, we recommend setting up an indoor display or a designated cool area. This way, you can enjoy both the aesthetics and the deliciousness of your confection without any mishaps.

3. Party Favors

Although party favors are a traditional gesture of appreciation, they often end up being left behind or discarded, resulting in unnecessary waste. Instead, consider alternative ways to express gratitude to your guests. For example, donating to a non-profit in the name of your guest list and hosting a table with information about the organization can be a meaningful and eco-friendly option.

4. Champagne Toast

While a champagne toast is classic, it can consume time, energy, cost, and labor. To streamline the celebration and ensure a seamless flow, consider allowing guests to raise their glasses and toast with the drink of their choice in hand. This not only eliminates the need for champagne service but also allows everyone to engage in the moment without interruptions. It's a small adjustment that can make a big difference in the overall efficiency and cost of your wedding reception.

As you plan your dream wedding, it's important to consider the details that can make or break the experience for both you and your guests. Remember, every decision you make contributes to a memorable and sustainable wedding day.
