Outstanding efforts in the workplace deserve recognition. After all, how else will you acknowledge employees for going above and beyond what you expect of them? Even if you don’t have a formal recognition program in place, you can still give your workers props for being exceptional examples of hard workers. You can reward their efforts in many ways. 

Although many brides and grooms want to include everyone in their wedding day celebration, it isn’t always practical to do so. Budgetary restrictions can force couples to pick and choose who they invite to their ceremony and reception. In a post-pandemic world, your state may require that you limit the number of people you have gathered in one location. For safety reasons, you may not get to have a large wedding as planned. 

Of the many considerations that couples make when planning a wedding, the theme is among the most important. It sets the groundwork for the upcoming months and makes selecting items that tie into the theme fast and easy. When looking for ideas to choose from, don’t discount different countries. If it has been your dream to visit a location, or you plan to go there on your honeymoon, you can make it part of your ceremony and reception rather quickly.

When considering the different venues available for getting married in, don’t forget how convenient it is to get married in your own backyard. First and foremost, it’s free! You don’t need to pay for a beautiful place to say your vows. Next, you can hold your ceremony and reception in the same place. There is no need to travel from one location to the next wearing your wedding attire.

Life has its way of throwing you a curveball now and then. With a global pandemic in full effect, your plans to get married this year may need to be revised. Rather than view it as a nuisance, why not consider it a blessing? You have more time to celebrate and pay for your wedding day celebration.

Being in isolation doesn’t need to be lonely. You can connect with family and friends through an intimate virtual bridal shower rather easily. Working with your best friend, mom, or sister to set-up the event takes little effort to do. Coordinating your schedules and being able to meet with one another online ensures that you’re able to participate in an event that celebrates your role as the bride-to-be.

An employee recognition program is one of the many enticements you offer the employees that come to work for you. It’s part of their benefits package and can bring your business favorable results. When your staff feels as though their efforts count, they’re more willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done right for you.

With the COVID-19 pandemic changing the course of how we live our daily lives globally, it only makes sense that you reconsider large gatherings. If you planned on hosting a wedding ceremony and reception this year, you might have decided to think twice about it. After all, you must consider you and your guests’ health and safety at all times. Postponing your reception until it’s safe to have more people in attendance may be something that you want to do today because it allows you to have more of your guest list in attendance.

Congratulations on your engagement! We know you’re going to be a beautiful bride. Now that you’ve made the announcement to your family and friends, it’s time to select a date and start making the preparations necessary to get married in the venue of your choice.
