We Never Thought of That!

| Children at weddings? This is the subject of endless debate. On one hand there are those who feel the whole family should be invited to share in the festivities. Still there are others that feel children are too immature and can't be counted on to behave. One solution some couples consider is a “kids VIP party” at their wedding.
Manned by a licensed babysitter and held in a separate room from the main reception, child friendly food can be provided and carnival games and DVD’s rented. You can also stock the room with crayons and coloring books and age appropriate small art projects. If you are having a tented celebration a smaller tent can be set up adjacent to the main tent and decorated specifically for children. |  |  | 
| The underage crowd can be invited back into the main space for dancing after dinner and this will allow friends and family some time to relax and enjoy the wedding safe in the knowledge their children are close by enjoying their own fun, supervised party. |  |

 |  Couples Playlist
We all have our own favorite songs and most couples have songs that have extra special meaning to them, now by simply attaching your iPod or mp3 players to a portable Anchor sound system you can share your playlist with your wedding guests. With the wireless microphone attachment you can also use the sound system for the ceremony, the speeches and for making announcements at the reception. Before your wedding have fun planning your playlist of songs, include all your favorites and by adding a selection to appeal to every generation you can guarantee everyone at your reception will be up on the dance floor all night. |

 | Shoe Valets
How many times have you had that perfect pair of shoes that you wore to a wedding and low and behold half way through cocktails you are looking for a chair or wishing you had chosen different shoes. We all have. Here is your chance to save a friend from a painful night. Set up two or three large wicker baskets filled with inexpensive flop flops, in your wedding colors of course, for your guests to change into while they dance the night away in your honor.

 Keeping it Cool
Translating your vision of the perfect day into a beautiful reality is uppermost in most couples’ mind when planning their wedding but if your guests are too hot, too cold or blinded by the sun they won’t even notice your perfectly coordinated linens or carefully chosen favors. |  |
 |  Keeping your guests comfortable should be a top priority in everyone’s wedding preparations. Patio heaters can be rented to take the chill off the evening air and café style table umbrellas will keep guests shaded and cool in the summer sunshine. The climate in party tents can be controlled with heating or AC, leaving guests free to relax and fully enjoy the wonderful celebration you have invited them to share with you.

|  | Gifts Guaranteed to be Used
Everyone likes a great welcome basket, but your wedding guests will LOVE - a post wedding care package. Deliver while the reception is in full swing, these goodie bags can be packed with bottled water, local snack, pain relievers, mints, Band Aids, and a door hanger that says something like " Do Not Disturb: Recovering from Jessica and Brian's Wedding". |  | | |
| | | Relaxing Rehearsal Dinner
Keep your rehearsal dinner light and casual: a barbeque, clambake, pasta supper, anything non-formal that will let you chill out with your guests. If possible, have your dinner two nights ahead instead of the night before, you´ll have a more relaxing wedding eve, you´ll hopefully get more sleep, and you´ll have the chance to catch your breath before the big day. |  | |
