So far, no clients have adopted the idea of having a performance or re-enactment instead of a Reading in their ceremony.

I've had songs being performed however, and that worked really well!

Planning, planning...

Just a few ideas you might want to use, that I have applied having assisted with the coordination, logistics, ceremony and reception MC for a few friends on their big day.  So far, no contingency plans have been executed, but you should definitely have them!

If you want to keep your guests in suspense as to a mystery location (or if you just do not wish to delegate communications for unexpected changes to location), try setting up a blog before you print your invites.  Or failing that, sign up to a pre-paid mobile.

You can blog your developments and cast updates to guests who may not be connected on social media.

If using a prepaid mobile, you could record a voice invitation in that inbox and send your invites with that mobile number.  You can update the inbox message as needed (like tweets), or also confirm or change location details so that your guests can dial in and find out.

I've also compiled a document to list the info you should typically share to your helpers on the big day.

You can download these from www.crepebouquet.com.au

Happy planning!

P.s. if you're based in Sydney, I've found white wedding umbrellas are available for $20 in Crows Nest.  email me if you need details :-)
