NEW
Check
out our lists of Suggestions for Formal Dances
and
Dedications
1) We will need a list of the Wedding Party and
Honored Guests for the Introductions.This list should include any parents, or grand-parents
or any other relatives you would like to be introduced.
Grand-Parents can either walk in as they are introduced
or more often can be introduced from their seat,
normally Parents of the Bride & Groom will walk in.Normally the grand-parents or parents are introduced
first, followed by the Flower Girl and Ring Bearer
(if you have them) and then the Wedding Party,
saving the Maid of Honor and Best Man until just
before the Bride & Groom. Sometimes this is
opposite of the order for the Church, but whatever
order is most convenient will work. We will line up
everyone and go over the names once again just before
the Introductions.Also please include the name of the person who
will be performing the Blessing or Prayer.For "hard to pronounce" names we ask that you
include a phonetic pronunciation to help us announce
the names correctly. In other words, you can spell
the names the way they sound.
2) Your choice of Formal Dance Songs Suggestions?
This should include your First Dance (Bride & Groom)
and any dances with parents or other relatives
(Bride & Father, Groom & Mother). Also if you
would like a Wedding Party Dance (which includes
parents and all the members of the Wedding Party)
please include your song choice for that as well.If you are stuck for a song, ex: Groom & Mother,
we can offer suggestions to help you along.You can have the Wedding Party join in on your
First Dance if you like. We do usually like to finish
the Formal Dances with the Wedding Party dance,
simply because it's easier to open the dance floor
with a good number of couples already out there.3) Your time schedule (approximate) for formalities.
This includes, the scheduled time for introductions,
the Cake Cutting, your Bouquet Toss, and Dollar Dance,
(assuming you're having all of the above).
4) Any special requests or dedications or songs you
would like to have played in addition to your choices
for the Formal Dances. Please include song titles
and artists (if you know them) and for dedications
or birthdays or anniversaries please include the
names of the persons you would like the dedications
to be sent out to.
5) Any other ideas, announcements or special
events or circumstances you would like us to be
aware of.Many Wedding clients wish to provide us with
a "Do Not Play" list, so if there are certain songs
you definitely don't want to have played please
include them as well.
After
we receive the information we will go over everything
including
song titles and pronunciations either over the
phone
or in person. We will then print out our notes
and
have the printed copies available at the reception.
Changes
in the introduction list and music choices
are
very common so if you're not sure of the
order
of the Wedding Party or other details don't worry,
just
send us whatever you have and we will finalize
the
details when we go over them with you.
It's
okay to simply type the information into an email,
or
you can attach a word or works document to
your
email. You can also send us your details
via
postal mail.
