Time for Some Wedding Magic in Your Life

I'm sure that all of us have been, at some point, involved in a wedding, whether as a guest, relative, or organizer. Also, we have surely heard myths and legends regarding all the tasks that need to be performed, duties to complete, or traditions to obey. Furthermore, we are often told that these chores can even take away the beauty of the actual ceremony, and that the bride and groom cannot really enjoy the “best day of their lives” until it is over.

Personally, I am inclined to believe that these are exaggerations coming from people with no organization skills, little patience in managing elaborate planning, and most importantly, without the corresponding tools for such a large scale event, so I will strive to prove them wrong by finding an appropriate software application for this task. One of my options is called Wedding Magic, and I have chosen it over others due to its name, since this is what I would like to bring back to ceremonies, their magic.

Now it's time to analyze this application more thoroughly. First and foremost, you will need to enter the names of the bride and groom, as well as the additional events you want to monitor, such as the rehearsal dinner, bachelor party, engagement party, or the bridal shower. You can choose all of them or none, depending on the size of the ceremony and the traditions you are willing to obey. After you have configured these basic details, you can easily use Wedding Magic to create a guest list for each of the events. You will have the possibility to set up a separate list for the groom's guests and another one for the bride's, or you can just mingle all the invited people and come up with a single database.

A great thing about this software is that it will enable you to keep track even of the children's names, ages and roles, so that they don't feel left out. Moreover, you can create a list with the casual names for your guests, thus being able to personalize the cards on each table – everyone would be very impressed if they found their nicknames printed on the cards, rather than their full names (of course, this can be done only if you are having a private ceremony with close friends, instead of throwing a very formal wedding with fancy guests).

Once you have established the number of persons involved, you will need to choose the location for each of the events you want to organize, including the complete address and the exact time. Furthermore, you can specify the theme for each party, the style and the participants' number, including how many invitations have been accepted or rejected.

In addition, in order to create a successful event, you will need to set up an appropriate menu that will have to contain various types of dishes, depending on your guests' tastes and preferences (this is the time to consider the number of vegetarians that will attend your party). Moving on, you can create the music playlist, by selecting only the songs that are very special to the bride and groom – just keep in mind that this usually is the job of the band or the orchestra you have hired, so don't fret too much over it.
