Wedding speeches can be daunting for both the speakers and the bride and groom and knowing what to include in a speech can be overwhelming. Including humor in wedding speeches is common practice, however one must remember that humour is an objective thing. What one person finds funny, another can find offensive. This can be seen in certain wedding speeches. If you are a little sure of what certain members of the bridal party might say, it might be a good idea to designate someone to oversee the speeches and reading so that no nasty surprises pop up.
Do not do this in a Bridezilla style. One subtle way for someone to oversee all the speeches could be if you are having a family or friend act as MC. They could request to see all speeches before the reception so that they can in their own dialogue tie in all the speeches together. If they find anything that may be taken as offensive, they can tackle it subtly before the wedding along the lines of ‘ I think this is great and the bride and groom would love it, but the bride’s conservative grandparents are going to be there, so is it possible if you can change that part.’ The key is to use tact .

Planning a wedding can be an expensive task, yet with a little thought and planning you can achieve your dream wedding on a budget. One area of wedding planning in which you can save money with a little planning is your wedding bouquets.
You can have a beautiful wedding bouquet without spending a small fortune by considering the following tips.
1. One way to still have the flowers of your choice without spending a small fortune is to cut down the size of your bouquet. A small bouquet can still be as stunning and is often more effective that a larger bouquet.
Another option is to leave the bridal bouquet in its original size and reduce the size of the bridesmaid’s bouquets. Aesthetically, this can be a great look.
Alternatively, you could ditch the bridesmaid’s bouquets completely, and have them each carry a beautiful single red rose down the aisle.
