If you have decided to get married-congratulations! Your life is about to make major turn with many new developments underway as the two of you begin to plan for spending the rest of your lives together.
There will be a lot to do over the next few weeks such as arrange a location for the event, planning the wedding shower and ordering invitations to send out to your guests. However, one of the first things that you should do before you get carried away with the planning process is to come up with a wedding theme. This is something the two of you will have to agree upon. If you share a common interest, then that hobby or past-time could be your theme. For instance, if you both love rock and roll music, your wedding theme could be that. You could have a rock band play at the reception and have small guitar shaped gifts wrapped in personalized ribbon on the tables for your guest.
Themed weddings are often the most fun events to attend as you can announce the theme when you send out the invitations. This will allow your guests time to come up with appropriate gifts which are sure to please the two of you.
Why be conventional? Your wedding is YOUR day and should reflect your personality so be sure to choose a theme you both love!
