Wedding days are notoriously long for everyone involved, though the married couple are being whisked from one area to another throughout the day, and they don’t have time to stop! If this is supposed to be one of the best days of your life, why would you not make the most of it from when you wake up to when you go to sleep?
So, with that in mind, it is important to make sure everyone can cope for the day – both you and your guests! This piece will take a look at some top tips for making your wedding comfortable so that you can enjoy everything from start to finish.
Let’s get into it!
Weather and Temperature
You cannot control the weather, but you can control what you do about it. If you are thinking about having an outside wedding, it is always worth preparing for the chance that it might rain. Just like if you are having your wedding indoors, it is worth making sure that aircon, heating, or fans are available depending on the time of year. If it is windy or unpleasant outside, then having an indoor alternative that you can just jump into will make the day go much easier. Check with your chosen wedding venue that this is possible before you go ahead and book!
Opportunities for Sitting Down
One of the most well-known things about a wedding is that you will be standing around for long periods. Whether this is to wait for the bride and groom, do the wedding photographs, eat canapés, or mingle with other guests, this can be tiring enough, and adding heels or dress shoes on top can make this significantly more taxing.
Making sure you and your guests have ample opportunity to sit down at any point can contribute to everyone’s stamina and foot health. This is particularly worth considering if you have guests who have limited mobility or need to rest more frequently.
Kids’ Corner
There can be nothing more relentless than bored children and, considering that it feels like children are bored instantly the moment no one is paying attention to them, a whole day of adults doing things that might not be top of their list of fun activities could make the day very taxing for everyone involved. There should be something there to entertain them, such as games, coloring books, crayons, bubbles, a fun photobooth with props, or any other activities you can think of that will be fun for them. Not only will they be able to play all together, but you and your guests will also know where they are. This will give all of the parents a little more space to let their hair down and chat with others.
A wedding day should be enjoyable for everyone attending your big day, so considering these points should help make everyone a little more comfortable for the long day. If you are not sure what else you can do, why not ask your guests what they think for some more ideas?
