- Instead of the "traditional" wedding shower, have a couple's wedding shower. This way you both will share in the "limelight".
- The thought of every watching you as you sit at the head table can be a real scare for many! There are many options to choose from when deciding on the head table - including a sweetheart table with just you and your husband (and perhaps the maid-of-honor and best man) or sit at a regular table with your parents. Learn more on Head Tables.
- Start the first dance together and then request family and friends to join you on the dance floor. If possible, take dance lessons or practice at home before the big day. The more confident you feel, the easier this will be!
- Be sure to tell your family and friends that you would like to keep a relatively low profile, so they won't plan any surprise parties for you.
- At the ceremony, include special people to do a reading, sing, speak; include children as ringbearers and flowergirls to divert the attention to others.
Remember that this is good attention! Your family and friends are just excited and want to share this moment with you. Try to relax and enjoy. |
