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.

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

One of our newest wedding themes is becoming increasingly popular for a good reason. It’s our nautical theme, and it stands out because of how easy it is to implement and decorate venues with sailboats, quotes about travel, and anchors. Shopping our online storefront is among the easiest ways to become familiar with the theme. You’ll come with all kinds of ideas on ways to include nautical elements into your special celebration. 

If you want to benefit from a productive and loyal team in the workplace, you must consider your role in your employees’ well-being. You can create the type of environment where your workers thrive. One of the easiest and most thoughtful ways to encourage employee success is through a custom recognition program that you develop and improve upon over time. It can motivate and inspire your workers to be their very best while working for you.

Butterflies are beautiful. They’re a symbol of transformation as a caterpillar leaves its prior existence to embrace its role as a winged insect. Butterflies make an excellent wedding theme because you’re leaving the life of a single person behind to become part of a partnership. Your dreams are taking flight as getting married is one of the most significant milestone events a person experiences.

As your baby grows into a toddler and then a young child, they’ll experience dramatic changes right before your eyes. As their parent, you’ll want to celebrate each growth spurt, first word, and academic accomplishment. Doing so creates a rich personal history for the child to look back at and enjoy while they’re older. It presents you with plenty of material to include in their baby book, which captures the first few years of your son or daughter’s life. 

Planning a wedding can be a lot of work, but it’s also enjoyable. When else are you able to personally choose every detail of the event that you’re planning? As a couple, you can include details about your life, passions, dreams, and interests in your ceremony and reception. With a little creativity, you can pull off an event that people can’t stop talking about for a long time.
