You should plan your invitations well in advance; order your wedding invitations well before the wedding. Ideally, you should order the wedding invitations at least 4 weeks before you plan on posting them. If you have a list of guests based on the ceremony you want to invite them for, you should have separate cards printed for each ceremony. For example, if you want to invite family ‘A’ for the reception but not for the wedding, make sure you have two sets of cards printed (one set for the reception and one set for the wedding). As mentioned earlier, everyone appreciates a personalized card, if possible send each wedding card out with a handwritten note.

You might end up missing a few people on the wedding list; make sure you order extra wedding cards to cater to any last minute additions to the wedding list. Also, if you are sending cards to bachelors/single people, make sure you add “and guest” at the end of the invitation. Before posting the wedding cards, make sure they have invitations, response cards, envelopes, wedding programs included. It is important to give yourself some time to mail out the wedding invitations. To avoid any last minute rush, mail out the wedding invitations well in advance this will give people time to prepare for the wedding.

A balloon arch is ideal way to add up flair to your celebration or wedding. The simplest way to make this piece is to buy a pre-built wedding arch made of white metal. If in case the wedding arch is not available, you could even build an arch using strong bendable metal wire. Just be sure it is strong enough to stand on its own.

After placing the arch appropriately, just attach full balloons onto the arch using wire tires or string. Wrap the tie it up around the bottom of the balloon and then onto the arch. It is best to begin from the top and work your way down both the sides consistently to crate a wonderful look. This can also be done with multihued balloons or one shade of balloons. Balloons need to be filled with helium however. The more balloons you attach, the superior the piece would turn out.

The completed balloons arch could be used in varieties of places. Some brides prefer to place the balloons arch outside the way in to the ceremony. This permits guest to walk through the arch in addition to the bride and her attendants. Other brides prefer to use the balloons arch as a ceremonial highlight. They want to place it in the ceremony area so that they could stand under it while they are saying their vows. Lastly, many brides also feel this decoration is superior suited for the reception area and should be decorated for the after-ceremony event.

Tips for balloon arch decorations

• The higher the ceiling is better the look would be. Halls that have tall ceilings permit for more remarkable balloon arches and designs.
• Grand ballrooms have wide ceilings, use five balloon clusters on available tables, in its place of three. Increases the height of balloons as it makes the event more festive.
• Almost every hall puts off balloon decorators from attaching fixtures to walls or any ceilings. This might even prevent a balloon drop being rigged.
• Additional charges – Since stands, poles, bases are used to make these designs, a charge is accumulated, for setting up and then for removing. Balloon decorators would have to return to gather their materials, so a payment is almost forever charged for breakdown.
