Seven Top Tips For Your Las Vegas Wedding
1. Research
Unless you're a spontaneous, spur of the moment person, research
is essential in order to have a great Las Vegas wedding,
including setting the wedding date.
Yes, you could hop on a plane at the last minute, fly to Vegas
and turn up at the chapel of your choice only to find out that:
A. You need a marriage licence from the Marriage Bureau, Las
Vegas, Nevada which is located at 200 S. 3rd Street, 1st floor
Las Vegas, NV 89155-1603 (cost at time of writing was $55)
before you can get married in Las Vegas.
B. The chapel is booked solid, even when you return with a
marriage license. Then you're roaming Las Vegas wedding chapels,
trying to find one that can marry you.
2. How To Get There
You also need to research how you'll get to Las Vegas. Plane,
train, car or bus? If you decide to fly, you'll need to check
airfares with the different airlines to find the best deal.
3. Venue
When you were doing your research, you probably came up with an
idea of what sort of wedding you wanted. For example, you can be
married by an Elvis impersonator, get married in medieval
costume at Excalibur or opt for a traditional ceremony in an
elegant wedding chapel.
Once you've decided on your wedding theme and researched wedding
chapels, it's a good idea to book the chapel of your choice as
soon as possible, in order to avoid disappointment.
4. Reception.
To reception or not to reception? Instead of having a
traditional reception you could have a memorable wedding meal at
a top restaurant in Las Vegas, depending on how many will be in
your wedding party. Or if it's just the two of you, you could
dine a deux with room service in your honeymoon suite.
5. Your Wedding Night and Honeymoon
Now that you know where and when you're getting married, it's
time to book the wedding night and or honeymoon. It's easy to
research the casino hotels online by visiting their websites or
reading messages on Las Vegas forums to find a hotel that
appeals to you. Once you find your hotel, it's a good idea to
make your reservations as soon as possible.
6. Wedding Attire
It's time to decide on your outfit for your Las Vegas wedding.
You've already decided what sort of ceremony you've having,
which will help to narrow your choice of outfit. If you don't
want to pack your wedding gown into a suitcase you could always
rent or buy a wedding gown in Las Vegas. Just make sure you do
your research first before you arrive in Las Vegas.
7. Invitations
Before sending out your invitations you should have completed
the above six steps: deciding on a wedding date and type of
wedding, mode of transport to Las Vegas, booking a wedding
chapel, deciding on what sort of reception you'll be having if
any, reservations for your wedding night/honeymoon and planning
your wedding attire.
Now it's time to invite your family/friends to your Las Vegas
wedding. Unless you just want it to be the two of you - how
romantic!
