One or both members of the couple may experience the cold feet phenomenon that overshadows them and causes them to become concerned over their upcoming wedding. There may be a wide variety of suitable wedding venues available but you could greatly reduce the number of venues that you are required to visit by choosing only locations that come highly recommended from a trusted source.
Putting aside a portion of each paycheck for awhile can add up to a sizable savings that can be used for your wedding. A wedding is already a financial strain on most couples and it is important to realize that your love for each other is enough and that you don't have to exchange gifts on your wedding day if you don't wish to do so. If the culture of the bride dominates the ceremony then you could allow the culture of the groom to dominate the reception.
If you or someone you know lives in an apartment complex, you might also want to look into having the bridal shower on the roof of the apartment. The other advantage to hosting a wedding in your home is the warm casual atmosphere that it provides for your guests. You could also arrange to have the DJ play a song that has a special meaning for you as a couple so that you can enjoy a dance together after she accepts your creative proposal.
Small gestures such as reserving a block of hotel rooms or putting together a list of tourist attractions as well as more significant gestures such as preparing welcome baskets and making an extra effort to spend time with your out of town guests all contribute to making your out of town guests feel appreciated and welcomed. While it is important to speak from the heart, it's also important to make sure that no one who has really gone out of their way to assist the couple is left out of the thank you speech.
