The last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day is vendor gratuities.
While tipping is never required, it’s always appreciated if you want to let your vendors know how grateful you are for all their hard work to make your dream day a reality.
That’s why your #WeddingTipWednesday is to plan ahead by setting aside envelopes with tips for your planner (or someone you trust) to distribute on your big day.
Wedding Tip Wednesday: Bring an extra dress shirt
Gentlemen, your wedding day is going to be filled with emotions, excitement, and—let's be honest—a little sweat (or maybe an unexpected spill or two).
That's why your #WeddingTipWednesday is to bring a second dress shirt.
Between pre-ceremony nerves, photos, and hitting the dancefloor, trust us when we say you'll want a fresh shirt to slip into for the reception after hours of celebrating!
Wedding Tip Wednesday: Visit Your Destination Location
If you want a more hands-on planning experience like Bryce and Michelle, your #WeddingTipWednesday is to visit your destination location a few months before your big day!
In addition to seeing your venue in person, you'll also have a chance to schedule food tastings, do a hair & makeup trial run, and capture some engagement photos for your save the dates.

Wedding Tip Wednesday: Create a Memorable Seating Chart
Planning a wedding is all about the details, and one element that can really set the tone is your seating chart display.
That’s why your #WeddingTipWednesday is to consider a creative display for your seating chart, like the stunning one Design-Mine Maui crafted for Donna & Matt’s big day.
From elegant signage to lush floral accents, a unique seating chart display adds a personal touch and transforms the process of finding your seat into a memorable part of the celebration.
A second wedding dress is always a YES in our book!
That’s why your #WeddingTipWednesday is to bring a backup dress for your big day.
Whether it’s for comfort while sitting or dancing, or just in case you spill something (yep, it happens to the best of us), a second dress can be a total lifesaver.
Wedding Tip Wednesday: Turn your wedding photos into thank you cards!
Nothing shows your gratitude like a reminder of the love and joy you shared with your guests on your big day!
That’s why your #WeddingTipWednesday is to consider turning your beautiful wedding photos into thoughtful thank you cards—like this one we got from Bonnie and Steven.
Whether it’s a dreamy shot of the two of you or a candid one with you and your guests, it’s a great way to make your thank-you notes extra special.
Wedding Tip Wednesday: Take Personalization to the Next Level with Embroidered Napkins
When it comes to personalizing your wedding, there's nothing quite like making your guests feel extra special!
That's why your #WeddingTipWednesday is to consider trading in traditional place cards for embroidered napkins with each guest's name.
This personal touch is a great way to make guests feel genuinely appreciated while uniquely elevating your big day.
Wedding Tip Wednesday: Fun Attire for Staff
If you think your wedding party and decor are the only way to showcase your theme, think again.
That's why your #WeddingTipWednesday is to have your wedding day staff join in on the fun with matching attire.
Whether you choose elevated looks or breezy aloha shirts for a tropical celebration, having your staff's outfits reflect your wedding theme is another great way to tie everything together!

To get started, set up a welcome table where guests can guess whose adorable baby photo belongs to whom while they fill out your guest book. It’s the perfect way to kick off the festivities with a good laugh (or two) and spark some fun conversations along the way.
Wedding Tip Wednesday: Clearly label items for your wedding planner
Happy Wedding Tip Wednesday!
Whether you’re bringing your own decorations, fans, guest book, or cocktail napkins, a little organization goes a long way.
That’s why your tip this week is to ensure everything is clearly labeled. This helps your wedding planner know exactly what it is and where you want it to go.
Wedding Tip Wednesday: Add a Memorable Sendoff
While a grand entrance is always a showstopper, your grand exit can be just as memorable!
That’s why your #WeddingTipWednesday is to think about having a fun send-off to your celebration.
Whether you keep it sweet and simple with flower petals or go big with fun-themed light sabers that reflect your playful personality, it’s a great way to end the night and capture some fun photos along the way.
