Wedding Wednesday: Groomsmen

Hello Everyone! Since we've already had a special on Bridesmaids, I figured I would help the guys out a little with groomsmen ideas! Of course, these could also be ideas for the bride or maid of honor since they sometimes help out with groomsmen gifts and photography ideas! Have a look!

Some groomsmen gift ideas: (These gifts can range from very low prices to very high as you can tell! Cigars, Cufflinks, Ties, Socks, Shotglasses, Swiss army knives, liquor, keychains, and more!)

    

And you can't forget about the most popular one: Flasks! Personally engraved ones are very popular now-a-days!

  

Groomsmen gifts from the bride! Super cute idea!

  

Different groomsmen personality shots to capture for your wedding album:

    

Funny ideas: Mismatched groomsmen and role reversal (bridesmaids act like groomsmen, groomsmen act like bridesmaids)

  

And a very useful app to top it off: Tie Right Iphone App!

 

We hope that these ideas are able to guide you through your wedding planning process a bit better and give you an idea of what the perfect groomsmen gift would be and what shots to capture for your wedding photography! If you are looking for a photographer or any entertainment for your wedding, contact Breezin' Entertainment! We have all your entertainment needs right here!

Last minute Wedding Details!

Hello all brides or future brides! Another Wedding Wednesday is upon us! We have come up with some last minute wedding details to take care of before the big day so that you can enjoy your day with ease!

1. Assign a point a person! This is crucial. Whether it's your maid of honor or a relative, it is important to have somebody there for you to do all the little things! You might choose a relative over your maid of honor if you want your maid of honor to be at your side and keep you calm! The point person can be in charge of:

    -Telling family about reserved seating

    - Someone to collect gifts and telling everyone to sign the guest book

    - Putting overnight or honeymoon bags in car

    - Picking up your dress after the wedding! (You obviously aren't going to take it with you on the honey moon so you need someone to hold on to it for you)

 

Here are some other things not to forget!

1. Remembering a pretty hanger for your dress

2. Packing your cell phone charger- A lot of stressed out friends and relatives may call for directions or other questions so make sure you have a fully charged phone! You may want to put one of your bridesmaids in charge of answering it though :)

3. Vendor Contact List: If you are working with multiple vendors on your wedding day, it will be useful to have their contact information on hand. Hand the full vendor list over to your point person, or keep the list in your wedding emergency kit, just in case.

4. Bringing extra cash and international travel documents - You may want to tip your hairdresser, the band, or a bellhop! 

6. Writing your thank-you speech- Even though it is not required to give a big lengthy speech, it is a good idea to thank you guests for attending as well as your bridal party and parents!

7. Packing an emergency day-of kit, including a back up CD!

8. Making a "Just Married" sign or put a crafty friend in charge of that ;)

9. Of course- don't forget Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue!

10. Bringing your cake cutter- The caterer's might not be as nice!

11. Creating an itinerary- You may know where to be at all times but create an itinerary for your guests and out of town relatives so they know how much time they have inbetween the ceremony and reception and if they should eat in between!

22. Marriage Certificate! This is actually the most commonly forgotten thing!

Of course, don't forget the big things like booking a DJ, band, or photographer! Contact Breezin' Entertainment for all your entertainment needs! Contact us at 813-348-4998 or breezin.com
