      6 Easy Tasks to Delegate on Your Wedding Day

       

       

      Planning a wedding is time consuming, so asking for help along the way just makes sense.  But for Type A brides, relinquishing control over wedding day details can be a source of anxiety and uncomfortable feelings. While you shouldn’t hand over your complete list of to-do’s to your family members or bridal party, there are several easy tasks to delegate on your wedding day for a stress-free day.

      Paying Or Tipping Vendors

      Inevitably, no matter how much planning you put into the day, there will be wedding vendors that request to be paid on the day of the event. Communicate with your wedding day vendors beforehand, so you know what’s expected. Be sure to take note if cash or check will be accepted.  And come prepared with separate envelopes for each vendor with the payment (and tip) enclosed.  Enlist the help of someone you trust to take care of tracking down the vendor and handing over the envelopes.

      Babysitting Kids

      Whether you’ve invited all of your family’s and friends’ kids or you’ve only included a few close relations (maybe they’re your own children), kids can be a handful during the ceremony and reception.  Your attention will be elsewhere during the event, so you’ll want someone on hand to keep them entertained and safe.  Choose a teenage relative or friend to watch them during specific times, or hire a trusted babysitter to manage the children from start to finish.

      Running Last Minute Errands

      As the day draws closer, you’ll likely have a long list of errands that need to be run. Separately, they aren’t a big deal, but collectively they can take up a large chunk of your time.  Consider doling out a few of these last minute tasks to a wedding party member:

      • Picking up your dress or suit from the cleaners
      • Picking up guests from the airport
      • Gathering decor, flowers, or rentals from vendors
      • Ordering breakfast or lunch
      • Delivering items to the venue

      Make a list of the task and who it’s been assigned to, so you can easily reference it later.  You might be surprised how difficult it is to remember the little things as the day draws closer.  And be sure to give your loved one instructions including an address and a phone number for each job.

      Updating Social Media

      We all have that one friend who posts to Instagram like it’s her job.  She knows just which images and filters to use, and she always comes up with the best captions and hashtags. Whether you’ve decided to have an un-plugged wedding  or  you’ve had your wedding hashtag since you and your fiance started dating, social media will ultimately play a role in your day.  Consider asking one or two friends to help you update your social accounts. Choose people who you know will do a great job of capturing the right moments to post for you.

      Last Minute Decorations

      Throughout your wedding celebration, you may be planning to re-purpose items from the ceremony to the reception, like flowers, decor, and signage. Be sure to outline which changes need to be made and when they need to happen.  Include items like lighting candles at the reception site, rearranging tables and chairs after the ceremony, or even delivering gifts and cards to your home before the dance starts. Top tip: avoid asking your wedding party members or family members that might be involved in pictures immediately following the ceremony.

      Rounding Up Guests For Photos

      Once you’ve said your I Do’s, your photographer will most likely start to capture some of the family photos on your must-have list. This is the time when your guests will be mingling with others at the bar, near the DJ, or even outdoors.  Find a friend or family member who is familiar with all the people on your list. They can wrangle the guests while you continue to socialize, so you can enjoy more of your day.

      tasks to delegate - wedding party walking arm in arm

      There are so many tasks that need to be accomplished before the big day.  There’s no harm in selecting a few key tasks to delegate on your wedding day.  You can also get ahead of the game by checking tuxedo or suit rentals off your list early.  You can start shopping online at https://www.belmeademenswear.com

      Remember that Belmeade can ship your groomsmen’s outfit to their door within the continental United States. It’s the direct delivery option. Enjoy.

        You’re Engaged! Do These 4 Steps Right Away.

        You’re engaged!  Congratulations!  But now what?  Who do you tell and when?  What tasks should you complete first?  What venue should you choose?  These are all relevant questions.  We’ve put together the first few important steps of what to do after you’ve gotten engaged.

        Spread The News

        As soon as that ring is on your finger, you will want to let EVERYONE know.  But first, we would recommend taking some time to soak in the “just got engaged” feeling.  Enjoy each other!  You’ll be incredibly busy planning your wedding for the next several months.

        The next step would be to notify your parents and immediate family first.  Definitely do not text them!  Give them a call or even better, FaceTime them so you can see their reactions.  Next comes your extended family and friends and then you can make the announcement on social media.

        Social media is the greatest way to let everyone else know about the wonderful news.  Take a picture of you and your fiancé or take a ring selfie.  Change your status, and make it Facebook official!

        Pick A Date

        The easiest way to start narrowing down a date is to first decide on what season you would like to be married.  Do you love the winter season that brings along with it magical holiday themes and snowy weather?  Would you prefer a fall wedding with crisp autumn air?

        Dates can book up fast, especially for the more popular dates or seasons.  We would recommend picking a few dates that you would love in case the venue you’ve chosen is booked.  That way you’ll have the next best option to pick from.

        Get Inspired

        Sit down together and start discussing what you both would like your wedding to look like.  Start by going to Pinterest and do a simple search for “weddings”.  There are boundless wedding images and ideas out there, and you may discover something that you would have never thought of before, like getting married at a vineyard!  Create a Pinterest account and start pinning away!  If you see something you love, like table décor, pin it; even if you’ve already pinned 10 other table décor images.  Now is the time to get ideas and explore wedding options.  After a while, your style will become clear.

        Organize

        There are a lot of tasks to complete and decisions to make when planning a wedding.  Schedule engagement photos, look at venues,  contact vendors, and so on.  The best thing you can do is start creating lists and get organized.  While you may start to stress at just the sheer thought of everything you need to get done, there are a lot of great tools out there to help you along the way.  For example, The Knot has a wedding planner app as well as a personalized wedding checklist that will surely help you stay on top of your to-dos.

        While this is only the top four steps to follow after getting engaged, once you’ve got them complete, you will be well equipped to dive deeper into your wedding planning.  You’ll want to look your best on your wedding day.  Belmeade Men’s Wear has styles and colors for everyone from “big and tall” to ringbearer small!  You can choose Belmeade’s direct delivery option to have your outfits shipped right to the guys’ door anywhere in the continental United States.  If you have questions, just let us know by using the form below.  Thank you for shopping Belmeade!

          Absolute Best Trends for Weddings in 2021

          Best Trends For Weddings In 2021

          •  January 7, 2021

          Everybody is excited to welcome 2021, especially brides and grooms-to-be!  With a new year, new trends are emerging for the wedding industry.  To-the-max and over the top weddings are gone and stepping in are understated, sleek weddings with more intimacy for everyone.  Here are the best trends for weddings in 2021 that you can incorporate into your big day!

          Food

          Buffets were a staple at weddings before Covid-19.  However, with safety concerns, couples are now opting for smaller plated dinners and individualized portions.

          Gone are the days of one large wedding cake.  With cozier weddings, a lot of couples don’t see the need for the large cake. Instead, they are opting for mini cakes that are more vibrant in detail.  Add radiant flowers that go along with your color palette as a topper.  You could even have a cupcake or donuts tower in place of the large wedding cake too!

          Another big trend are charcuterie boards.  Couples are using a grazing table for the cocktail hour or even in place of their dessert table. With savory meats, cheeses, breads and crackers, your guests will be ecstatic by the convenience and deliciousness.

          Weekday Weddings

          If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s how to be thrifty and adapt to change.  In the past, the most popular days to get married were Friday, Saturday or Sunday. With a lot of couples having to postpone their wedding to later in 2020 or even to 2021, the weekends were filling up fast for venues.  A solution is to have a wedding during the week.  If you had your heart set on a particular venue, choosing to have it on a weekday could open the possibility of still having it there.  It could also save you thousands of dollars!

          Pop Of Color

          Whites, creams and greenery are a thing of the past.  Couples are using bright, fun, bold, happy colors.  Whether that be in the décor, flowers, stationary or even the attire.  More and more brides are having their bridesmaids dress in a variety of colors; such as different shades of purple.  The groom is also someone that can add a pop of color.  Nowadays many couples are opting to forego the traditional black suit.  Forest green or fashion color suits or tuxedos are a great choice for winter weddings. Or, choose blush, light blue and even off white for summer weddings.

          Gifts

          Some couples already live together when they decide to get married.  They’ve already purchased basic household items and are not in need of the “traditional” wedding gifts such as towels, blenders, or silverware.  Instead, they are asking for cash that can be used for the home they wish to buy one day.  Some are even asking their guests to donate to their favorite charity.

          Decor & Lighting

          Even though weddings are becoming smaller and more intimate, one thing that brides and grooms will be going all out with is the decorations.  With huge, dramatic floral backgrounds and lavish accents, it’s sure to make a statement.  Lighting will also play a big role in 2021.  With more outdoor weddings taking place and unique venues like gardens and breweries, mood lighting will bring that romantic, fairy-tale ambiance to the wedding.  You can use vintage chandeliers, candles, modern tube lighting and hanging basket lanterns to help set the mood.

          To sum it up, 2021 wedding trends are all about intimacy, color and over the top décor.  With smaller weddings, it allows the bride and groom to focus more on the smaller details, ultimately creating a great experience for themselves and their guests.

          However you decide to celebrate, Belmeade Men’s Wear has what you need for the groom and his groomsmen on your wedding day! And, remember Belmeade ships directly to your guys’ door within the continental United States using our direct delivery option!  Enjoy!
