My couple this weekend had a unique alternative to the dollar dance. They held a 50/50 raffle where the winner got 1/2 the pot and the bride and groom kept the rest for the honeymoon. What a great idea!Dollar dances can be painfully long and very awkward as you wait for everyone to have their[...]
I don't want to scare you, but unless you hire a wedding coordinator, you are going to have a gazillion things going on at the same time on your wedding day. Decorations, cake, caterer, wardrobe (and wardrobe emergencies), DJ, Officiant, venue staff - it's way too much for you to take on when [...]
