1. You don’t need to buy too much sugar and wine. Basically, not many people drink too much beer at noon. One bottle of liquor is usually enough for one table. You can have more Coke and Sprite because you can drink them at home. I bought 6 cases of beer for table 13, but ended up getting back 5 and a half cases (it seems that people drink beer when they are not married now, most of them are one bottle of white wine, one red wine, and two large bottles of drinks)
2. To decorate the venue, you usually need to go to see the venue in advance with someone from the wedding company, and then communicate your ideas with him. However, because they are more experienced, they will also give you some good suggestions. The decoration is usually done the day before. They will only go to the hotel to decorate the hotel in the evening. If you are not worried, you can ask a friend to help you keep an eye on it, because it may be late, but the newlyweds need to have a good rest the day before. I went there alone with LG, but we didn’t finish until after 11 o’clock in the evening. It’s already 12 o’clock when we get home, and I go to bed around 1 o’clock after cleaning up.
3. Generally, sugar, tobacco and alcohol must be brought to the hotel one day in advance, because they will set up the table the night before. One pack of cigarettes per table is enough, open it and put it in a small dish, as well as the sugar , each table has a small plate. I will take a small plate at home and count the plates one by one, so that it will not be too wasteful. Remember to prepare a wedding candy and cigarettes for the people in the hotel, and prepare a small package for the float master. Candy and a pack of cigarettes. You can prepare more small packages of candies and cigarettes. People in hotels, flower shops, etc. can give a pack as a gift. (This is also outdated. There are two boxes of cigarettes per table, and you have to give one box to the float master.)
4. Remember to bring an extra pair of stockings on the day. There are also sewing kits
5. Drink less water the night before the wedding to avoid swollen eyes the next day. Go to bed early and have a good rest. Anyone who puts on makeup will be reminded of this.
6. I have to arrange the person who will take photos on the day. I just forgot this, so now I don’t have any photos in my hand. I can only wait for the wedding company. I guess they will have to add me. money.
7. Calculate the journey time of the float on the day, so as to avoid wasting time by waiting for the groom at the new house for too long. It is best to walk the route in advance. And you have to ask the hotel if there are other people getting married that day, and you have to get there before them. This is called grabbing the jackpot.
8. The cigarette I use is Double Happiness, and the wine is Jinliufu Three Star. It is best to prepare the fake wine that the couple drinks at the wedding the day before, because the water in it will become bad after a long time. Just pour out all the wine and pour it directly into the water. There is no need to mix some wine with some water, as that will make it harder to drink and even more disgusting. (Double Happiness...Jinliufu...are indeed lower-grade. I use Zhonghua and Moutai, Wuliangye is also fine)
9. If you have one, prepare a Zippo, haha, avoid lighting up cigarettes at the wedding They always blow out the matches. (But there is still no way to escape this disaster in the end)
10. If the hairstyle requires flowers, be sure to buy them in advance (but not too early) to avoid being like me and waiting for me to think of it. It was midnight and the flower shops were closed. My bridesmaid took a taxi to Laita to buy flowers that day, so she was very nervous. I bought it the day before and wrapped it in newspaper (must use newspaper) (wrapped the flower parts too) and put it in the refrigerator. If there is something to keep it fresh at zero degrees, put it there. If there is any, put it in the cold room. (It’s a place that’s not frozen anyway)
11. When booking a banquet, be sure to book a larger private dining room. It’s better to be bigger than smaller. You’d rather not be full than to be like me. There may not be enough seats in the dining room now. , so anxious!
2. 1. The hotel lobby manager had better give him a red envelope alone, so that he can get things done more easily.
2. Ask the hotel waiter to make tea for both parents in advance, otherwise it will burn people.
3. It is recommended to set up a wedding banquet commander in the hotel. He will coordinate when the groom receives his bride and handle all the details in the hotel, including the placement of cigarettes, wine and sugar on each table, and the arrival of the bride and groom to the hotel. time and so on.
(The groom will be very busy on the day and must leave these things to others)
4. Each wedding candy bag is packed with 12 to 18 pieces. If the wedding candy bag is too big, put a jelly in it (children are very fond of it) If you like to eat, others will think that the bride is very careful in her work).
One more thing, if your ceremony starts at 11 o'clock and the float arrives at the hotel at 10:30, everyone (not necessarily everyone) must arrive at the hotel before 10:30, so that when the couple gets off the car Not too deserted. You think there is no one to pick you up at the door, how embarrassing it is. We just ignored this that day and ended up stopping for 10 minutes on the way. Fortunately, there were quite a lot of people at the door of the hotel afterwards. Otherwise it would be boring.
Generally, wedding companies will help you make floats, but the charges will be more expensive than outside. You can also find an outside florist yourself. I found a flower shop for my friend, and I didn’t care about it at all. You must tie flowers. He should fix them on the car and then arrange the flowers. If you are looking for a flower shop by yourself, remember to tell the people in the team in advance where to tie the flowers.
Bring some safety pins, sewing kits and other spares, and prepare some empty red envelopes at the sign-in area, some friends may forget, haha, I have no experience, I heard what others say~~~~~~~
The groom should prepare more small red envelopes, including 5, 10, and 20 yuan, to deal with those who have to give it to those who do not need it. When a colleague was getting married, he met someone blocking a wedding car at the intersection. These little red envelopes saved a lot of unnecessary losses.
It is best for the bridesmaid to put a pack of ham sausage or fish sausage in her bag, and let the bride and groom eat it when the bride changes her dress in the hotel to replenish some energy without ruining the makeup. Generally speaking, the bride and groom have no chance to eat at the wedding banquet
Be sure to remind the hotel waiter that the food should be served a little slower
No elephants that day Experience, 32 tables. As a result, the waiter served the food very quickly. I only served a few tables of wine. The guests had already started drinking soup and snacks. It was so boring (there should be several plates of cold dishes on the table during the ceremony. Wait until Serve the food after the ceremony is over)
Don’t forget to prepare the “mother-in-law meat” (it seems that this is no longer needed now, no one is short of those two bites of meat, it’s still very troublesome!)
p>3. The whole process of ultra-detailed and practical wedding arrangements
Part One: Division of labor and responsibilities of service personnel
(1) Witnesses, officiants; hotel managers, fleet Steward; emcee, videographer, photographer.
1. Witnesses and presiding officers As the name implies, the witnesses are the certifiers of the legality of the marriage.
With the groom’s family as the center, from a ceremonial point of view, the person who witnesses the marriage takes the guest position. The ceremonial sequence is usually in front of the officiant. In the past, it was usually the matchmaker. The main content of the witness's speech is: "The marriage is legal, congratulations on the wedding", etc. Usually the marriage witness is hired by the woman, mostly the leader of the bride's unit. Of course, the marriage witness can also be hired by the man. According to traditional etiquette, the officiant is the groom's parents. From a ceremonial point of view, the officiant takes the lead and is usually behind the witnesses in the ceremonial order.
Nowadays, most parents do not solemnize the wedding themselves but entrust others to perform the wedding for them. Therefore, the job of the solemnizer is to solemnize the marriage for the parents. The main point of his speech is: "Thank the guests, give instructions to the newlyweds, and put forward some requirements after getting married." "Wait," commonly known as "wedding precepts." The officiant must be hired by the man. Witnesses and officiants should wear status red flowers during the wedding, and wedding speeches should not be lengthy. You must arrive at the hotel on time, preferably 10:30 am.
2. Hotel manager.
The hotel general manager is responsible for the overall preparation of the hotel. He will take the lead and be coordinated by 5-6 reception staff.
The main tasks are:
1. Transport festive supplies to the hotel, including three major categories:
A. Tobacco, wine, sugar, melon seeds, and beverages.
B. The word 'happy', double-sided tape, wedding witness, corsage for the main wedding, marriage certificate, agenda, wedding props (such as: flower gallery, garland, wedding vow declaration, etc.).
(These wedding companies can prepare)
C. Color buckets, balloons, courtesy cannons, flower petals and other wedding supplies; among them, color buckets, balloons, courtesy cannons, and flower petals must be purchased based on the total amount Go up to get two-thirds of the hotel. The balloons, buckets, etc. brought to the hotel are mainly used for weddings. The bride should not step on them when getting off the bus. The courtesy gun is generally used outdoors at the time required by the host. (These are also the affairs of the wedding company)
2. Post the word "hi", wedding couplets, wedding agenda, arrange wedding background props, hang banners, sound check, microphone check, wedding march, etc. ( It can be arranged by a professional wedding company).
3. Prepare the wedding banquet guide, instructions, and table signs; focus on arranging the natal table, and arranging special personnel to welcome guests, etc. When welcoming guests, be polite and appropriate and be careful to prevent outsiders from getting involved (in other words: beware of happy thieves fishing in troubled waters).
4. Set up the table and prepare for drinking.
Arrange with the hotel for the waiter to set up the table, melon seeds, wine, cigarettes, drinks, and wedding candies;
Select goblets for drinking. , pour Coca-Cola or red wine, load the tray, lined with white cloth and sprinkled with red rose petals.
When setting up the table, consider whether to place drinks after the wedding, depending on the actual situation, to prevent individual guests from shaking the drinks and spraying the couple.
5. Give gifts to the team and unwrap the flowers from the float. When the motorcade arrived at the hotel, the limo was given wedding gifts as agreed regardless of whether the guests got off the car or not; a special person was arranged to quickly remove the flowers from the float, and the bouquets on the hood of the float were removed intact and sent to the ceremony stage for decoration.
6. When holding a wedding in a star-rated hotel, you must communicate with the hotel security and do not let other cars park close to the hotel entrance steps. Because floats generally do not enter the hotel from the normal driving lane, they usually choose to park in the square under the hotel steps in front of the hotel. This broadens the vision and helps create a grand on-site effect. If there is a fountain at the entrance of the hotel, remind the hotel to open it.
7. Negotiate with the hotel on behalf of the host family. One: Don’t serve cold dishes before the wedding begins. Because spraying and scattering flowers at the beginning of the wedding will easily contaminate the dishes; serving good cold dishes will also not help the guests to concentrate on watching the ceremony. Second: For any non-agreed consumption, the hotel must obtain the consent of the hotel manager or owner to avoid excessive abnormal expenditures. Third: Confirm the total number of wedding banquets with the hotel to determine the total number of seats for the first time; try to arrange a table of ten people for the banquet to avoid waste. Fourth: Pay attention to the fact that the wedding banquet should leave enough space in the center for the newlyweds’ aisle and the wedding venue. Fifth: Agree on the location, supply procedures, etc. of drinks, and have a dedicated person responsible for them.
8. After the wedding banquet, remind the host to help the host close the stall. Arrange for service staff to have meals, check if any guests have lost items, collect remaining tobacco and alcohol, etc., pack leftovers, etc.
3. Fleet manager
1. Help the newlyweds plan the driving route and wedding time according to local conditions according to folk customs, and determine the number of people on both sides to arrange sufficient wedding vehicles.
After deciding on the driving route, it is best to run it in advance so that you know the time, traffic control, prohibited driving, etc., and then draw a formal driving route map that can be clearly seen at a glance and indicate the starting point, natal home, and location. The hotel, which road section is sorting out the fleet and the contact information of the fleet manager, hotel manager, groom and other relevant personnel. The best time for the wedding is to return to the hotel at 10:30 am. Based on this standard, consider the distance and traffic conditions to decide when to set off, when to arrive at your parents' home, etc. Please allow at least 40 minutes from the time you enter your home to the time you leave. The overall time design must have at least 15 minutes reserved to deal with emergencies such as traffic jams.
2. The fleet manager should pay enough attention to the floats and know when to tie them up and when to tie them up.
At the same time, corsages, bouquets, and flower petals must also be brought back on time. It is best for the float to return to the starting point half an hour before departure, because the groom has to use his identity flowers, bouquets, etc. before departure.
3. Go to the motorcade at the agreed time on the morning of the wedding day.
The camera car is at the front, at least 60 meters away from the float; then the float starts, and the rest are arranged in order according to the grade of the limo car, taking into account the requirements of the folk customs, and the requirements are to form a straight line; give each The limousine will issue a driving route map and tie a red cloth strip with a red flower and the word 'hi' on the rear mirror of the limousine according to folk custom.
4. After the convoy arrives at your parents’ home, consider issues such as the entry, placement, and U-turn of the convoy based on the topography of your home. When the motorcade leaves her parents' house, they also have to consider the neighbors of her parents' house to stop the wedding, so they usually prepare wedding candies and cigarettes to deal with it.
5. After the fleet arrives at the hotel, the floats are parked at the agreed location (floats generally do not go in the normal lane). The fleet manager should remind and cooperate with the hotel manager to seal the fleet a wedding gift, wait for the newlyweds to get off the car, and remove the flowers from the float, etc. .
2) Marry the hostess, the car press boy, the lighting engineer, the sound engineer, the salute gunman, the wedding candies, flowers, hotel greeters, and ceremony assistants.
1. Marrying a female guest is entrusted by the groom’s parents to participate in the wedding, and the focus is to welcome the mother’s family. After arriving at your natal home, accompany your natal family to greet each other and congratulate each other. When you go out, accompany your natal family and guide them to get into the limo. After arriving at the hotel, accompany and guide your natal family to sit at the designated banquet. To prevent everyone from crowding around the bride and her natal family and no one to take care of them, make sure that the bride’s side Guests feel like they are being cared for from start to finish.
2. When scattering wedding candies, pay attention to spreading them as late as possible. It is best to scatter the wedding candies after the bride gets on the float and when the family members are about to get on the float. When spreading wedding candies, be careful to prevent onlookers from grabbing the carrier bags; When throwing wedding candies, be careful not to scatter them all at once, but keep some in case someone stops the wedding.
3. When firing a salute, the salute gunner should carefully read the instructions for the salute gun, observe the wind direction, and generally fire against the wind. Pay attention to start on time according to the time and location required by the emcee.
3) Basic etiquette requirements for service staff and guests on the wedding day
1. Follow the master’s instructions as a whole, and then everyone should perform their duties, take responsibility, and cooperate with each other. Complete the promised service work on time within the agreed time. Strictly prohibit swaying and wrangling.
2. The stars hold the moon. Pay attention to surround the newcomers anytime and anywhere. It is best for service personnel and guests to stand behind the newcomers, so that they can fully experience the "happiness of being the protagonist in their lives."
3. Be careful not to block the lens. Do not block or walk back and forth in the straight line distance between the camera and the couple.
4. Pay attention to the safety issues of the celebration. Color buckets are flammable. When using them, avoid fire sources. When lighting cigarettes, avoid spraying the color buckets.
5. Pay attention to the even use of festive items and do not use them in clusters. It is best to have festive items throughout the day to enhance the atmosphere.
6. Pay attention to showing basic respect to the bride during weddings. When spraying the paint bucket, do not spray it on the bride's face.
7. Pay attention to the neatness of clothing, avoid slovenly clothing, and wear unlucky clothing; avoid playing pranks when making fun.
Part 2: Preparation for the purchase of festive items
1. Macro including new houses, decoration, furniture, electrical appliances, daily necessities, bridal chamber decoration, ornaments, etc.
2. Microscopic view
1. Purchase cigarettes, wine, sugar, melon seeds and beverages on demand. Among them, the wine should be paid attention to, including the gift for the team driver and the toast for the newlyweds at the wedding banquet. Wedding candies and melon seeds are considered as return gifts to individual friends and relatives after the wedding. Beer is also prepared in the summer.
2. Camera, film, flash battery. When looking for non-commercial videography services (friends help), you should consider video tapes, video lights, etc., and purchase them as needed depending on the grade and scale of the wedding. Videographers bring their own camera equipment required for commercial videography services. It is recommended to hire a commercial videographer with a good reputation for the wedding.
3. Color buckets Color buckets are divided into colorful flowers (also called spray flowers), colored snow (flying snow), and colored strips (ribbons). When purchasing Pay attention to all three types, with colored flowers and colored strips as the main ones, and colored snow as a supplement. Also pay attention to the color of the lid. Generally, the color of the lid will be the color of the sprayed flowers, so choose more red and pay attention to color matching. Caixue, be careful not to buy the ones with white lids, preferably red lids. For colored buckets, you should pay attention to purchasing products from regular manufacturers to ensure the quality of the celebration. Usually, you should check whether the factory name, address, and phone number are on the packaging of the color barrel. Do not buy products with three no products. Color buckets are purchased on demand depending on the class and scale of the wedding.
Generally, 16 barrels to 60 barrels are needed. Take 20 barrels as an example: 8 barrels of colorful flowers, 8 barrels of colored stripes, and 4 barrels of colored snow are the best combinations.
Be careful to remove the logo, open the pockets, etc. before the wedding day. A common souvenir for newlyweds is a wedding ring, and each party may prepare a commemorative gift that is confidential before the wedding and give it to each other during the wedding, and let the other party guess. The wedding vows are drawn up by each other or provided by the officiant. You can also use each other's tone of voice to draft each other's wedding vows, keep it secret before the wedding, and ask the other party to read it out at the wedding. This method is very interesting.
4. Corsages, bouquets, head flowers, wrist flowers, and petals. The people wearing the corsage include the groom and the bride; parents of both parties; witnesses and officiants; best man and bridesmaid; emcee, distinguished guests, etc., and they should prepare accordingly. Holding a bouquet of flowers, the groom presents them to the bride when he sees them. Head flowers and wrist flowers refer to the flowers used on the bride's head and wrists, usually composed of lilies, orchids, etc. Flower petals refer to red rose petals, the more the better, they are scattered on the wedding day by the natal family and at the wedding.
5. Guestbook, invitations, red threads, large and small red envelopes, happy words, happy couplets, agenda, small plastic bags for wedding candies, double-sided tape, and brooch pins.
6. Various props needed for wedding activities to heighten the festive atmosphere. For example: wedding background, speakers, music CDs, flower gallery, rainbow door, red carpet, festive red candles, entertainment banquet, banners, band, flying balloons and pigeons, etc.
Part Three: Etiquette Requirements for Newcomers
1. Be generous, decent, and smile. The bride and groom prepare a bright smile for each other.
Even if some people are too happy, the newlyweds should not lose their temper or be unhappy. Be happy from beginning to end.
2. Enjoy the service calmly. Before the wedding, the newlyweds should allocate everything to each other under the coordination of the emcee. On the wedding day, the groom should have the air of a leader and never enter the state of a general manager; the bride should have the feeling of a princess and enjoy the service calmly. Even if the service work done by friends is somewhat different from the requirements of the couple, let it be, because it is almost useless for the couple to arrange anything on the wedding day. It also affects the newcomer’s demeanor.
3. The newlyweds should pay attention to walking together on the wedding day. It is best to do "arm-to-arm", keep shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to shoulder and smile happily.
4. When the indoor space is relatively small, you should pay attention to giving the cameraman "face" so that he can take more frontal shots of the new couple.
5. The bride should pay attention to self-protection. When the boudoir is about to open the door for the groom, when getting off the float at the hotel, and when the bride appears at the beginning of the wedding, these are the most violent times for the spray of color buckets. The bride should pay attention to putting down the veil at these times to cover it.
6. When toasting to newlyweds, the guests should be toasted in an orderly manner, with the female guests first, then the male guests; elders and leaders first, then ordinary friends. The groom serves wine to the female guest, and the bride serves the male guest. When the newlyweds are toasting, do not kick or pester them. The toasting should be done quickly and gracefully without teasing. The principle is to ensure that the tables are present. Generally, the banquet should be held at one end of the table as much as possible.
Part 4: Determine the style, form and grade of the wedding
The greatest joy in life is the wedding. How to make a wedding grand, grand, satisfying, sweet, happy and memorable?
First of all, you must choose the wedding format you like. Every wedding format has its own specific signature. Modern popular weddings are our most common wedding forms with the characteristics of the times, such as float weddings, hotel ceremonies, banquets for guests and friends, toasts for the newlyweds, wedding ceremonies, etc.
IV. 1. The bride’s makeup and float tying
The schedule on the wedding day is tight and there should be no delay. However, there are two areas where problems tend to arise, namely the makeup and floats used during wedding photography, especially on the wedding day. Often, due to the large number of people, waiting for your turn will be much later than originally expected, which ultimately affects all subsequent processes. You must make two preparations in advance. First, communicate with the original half-time makeup artist to reserve time. If there is a problem in the wedding photo studio, the half-time makeup artist will be transferred to the full-time makeup artist. Second, the wedding company provides floats, which may be subcontracted to some small flower shops, which is more likely to cause problems.
Therefore, it is necessary to make it clear with the wedding company that the wedding car must have been tied up by the time the wedding car is picked up. If not, the latest time for finishing the floats must be clearly stated in the contract, as well as the liability for breach of contract if it is exceeded. If you are making your own floats, it is recommended to prepare a little more advance time to avoid accidents, especially when the days are particularly good.
2. Flowers
For newlyweds who get married in May, June, July, September and October, due to the hot weather, floats, bouquets, etc. are usually tied up at noon. Corsages will wilt within a few hours, so when you get married in hot weather, you must consider this issue when choosing flowers. Tulips are not suitable. In addition, ask family members to prepare empty bottles with a few holes in the caps, or a special watering can to sprinkle water on the shower regularly. In addition, the groom's corsage must be backed up. It is often found that due to the long time of holding the bride, the groom's corsage is in the shape of 3 o'clock at the beginning of the ceremony, which greatly affects the effect.
In addition, there is a problem with the flower petals. The wedding company prepares almost all the garbage that the flower shop prepares to throw away, which is not very auspicious! So it is better to get a handful of roses and open them yourself before the wedding ceremony, so that the quality and quantity are guaranteed, and there are flowers as a backup. If there is any shortage, you can make up for it in time. Be more prepared and use flower petals to cover one or two hearts on the wedding bed. It will look much better than a bed full of bubbles.
