The Happy Wedding

A cruise ship wedding is an experience you will hold dear forever. Wedding on a cruise ship is unique and fun. Many cruise ships even have wedding chapels designated for cruise ship weddings or vow renewals.

A cruise ship wedding can be more fun than a traditional wedding. All cruise lines have different packages and rules for receptions and number of guests. The internet and your travel agent should have all the information about a wedding on a cruise ship for any particular cruise line. Not all the captains are licensed to marry you, but many lines will have a priest or rabbi or some other officiate that may provide these ceremonies. If you considering a cruise ship wedding, plan early so you won’t be disappointed. Lots of cruise ships limit the number of ceremonies per cruise. Some of the Cruise Lines that offer cruise ship weddings are discussed below.

Princess Cruises has a wedding chapel where they perform the cruise ship weddings. The Grand Princess and her sister ships all have wedding chapels. Here the Captain is able to perform the ceremony. Wedding options start at $1400.00 per couple with receptions around $70-$80.00 per head. There will be hot and cold hors d’oeuvres, drinks and an official marriage certificate, a cake and music. The ships photographer is available and the ships florist can design any arrangements that you have in mind. You can check out their packages on line. Click on the On Board link and then the wedding/special occasions link to get information on weddings on a cruise ship. They even supply you with a phone number for a wedding consultant. The Hearts and Minds Chapel is quite quaint and perfect for a wedding on a cruise ship.

A more upscale option is Crystal Cruise who will perform ceremonies for weddings, vow renewals or anniversaries. Your cruise ship wedding will be performed by the captain or a member of the clergy and includes Champagne, a Portrait, and a cake. They also have a Honeymoon Package with a cake, champagne, a picture and a certificate signed by the captain. I would discuss this one with your agent but of course you could check out their website.

Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas has a wedding chapel and performs cruise ship weddings on the day of embarkation. Their wedding packages start at $800.00. They include flowers for bride and groom, a photo session, champagne and a cake. Go to their website to check out their options.

Carnival Cruises has shore side packages that are all inclusive. There will be a toast with keepsake flutes, a photograph, the wedding cake topper and an engraved announcement. You can also customize any extras for a fee. Talk to your travel agent, or, if you want to do some research on your own, go to the Carnival website.

After your cruise ship wedding take tons of pictures. Especially today with digital cameras, this helps to keep the cost of film and the film development down. Be sure to bring a lot of memory cards. Save stubs from tours you have taken, the invitation to the Captains Table for dinner, any notes you receive from the officers, the brochure that lists the itinerary, the dates of each port of call. You can make many beautiful well documented photo albums that will bring lots of smiles and many fond memories. It is highly recommend building a scrapbook from your trip; you will love it later when you pull it out and relive the experiences. It takes some time but is so worth it to have these pictures after your cruise ship wedding. On our honeymoon aboard the Volendam at the end of the cruise they supplied us with a beautiful menu from each dinner. On one side was the menu and on the other a beautiful scene from Holland.

All ships have a Newlyweds game. Go to it. It’s fun and hopefully, you’ll only be a newlywed once. Participate in all the activities, they are a little bit corny but they do make you laugh. Let everyone know you’ve just been had your cruise ship wedding, people love that. You might even get a few free drinks.

Honeymooning on a ship is a great way to kick back and relax after that year of stressful planning for the cruise ship wedding. It is now time to enjoy you and your spouse and the journey of a lifetime. Take advantage of your time together in a luxurious atmosphere. Have fun, meet new people, make new friends and be yourself, most of these people you will never see again.

Here’s to a Bon Voyage, a wonderful cruise ship wedding and great honeymoon.

Wedding Announcements may seem like a chore for the bride but they are an absolute must. They tell people of the big day, especially those that weren’t invited to the ceremony or reception. These don’t have to be elaborate letters, just a small wedding announcement card that lets people celebrate in your union. The newspaper may run a wedding announcement but you also want to send a wedding announcement card that is a bit more personal and unique.

When writing the personalized wedding announcements, you want to include a few of the basics such as the names of the bride and groom and their families, especially their parents, the date and location of the wedding, the name of the officiate who performed the ceremony, names of those who stood up for the bride and groom, what music was played at the ceremony, and details pertaining to the reception. This is all information that can be written on a small wedding announcement card.

You can add more to the wedding announcement to make it even more unique. Any aspect of the ceremony that was different from others can be included on the wedding announcement card. If the groom is Scottish and wore a kilt, for example, that is a great detail for the wedding announcement card. Where the bride and groom are headed for the honeymoon, and what they will be doing afterwards, is great information to include on a wedding announcement card. The wedding announcement can be summed up with thoughts of thanks expressed from the bride and groom to anyone who made that day truly special.

After wedding announcements have been sent, many of the recipients send gifts to congratulate the couple. These gifts should always receive a wedding announcement thank you card. These can be on the same stationery as the wedding announcement card, to keep with the theme.

Many people choose to keep the wedding announcements and wedding announcement thank you cards within the same theme of the wedding. This may mean selecting the same colors, and using the same formality. If the wedding was held in a church, the wedding announcement and wedding announcement thank you cards should be very formal. If it was a beach wedding, the wedding announcement and wedding announcement thank you cards will be a bit more casual and the stationery can even have a different texture, such as that of sand.

The wedding announcement wording is very important when sending out wedding announcements and wedding announcement thank you cards. There are many quotes pertaining to marriage and it’s a good idea to keep the same wedding announcement wording for both the wedding announcement and wedding announcement thank you cards. Something such as, “It’s a true blessing to marry your best friend.”

Wedding announcements Cards are a wonderful way to allow everyone to feel included in your wedding. They may seem like one more tiny detail that needs to be included in the many different types of wedding cards. However, they are an important detail and many will thank you for writing them an announcement for wedding card.

Anyone planning or attending a wedding should always take time to have a great hair day. Whether you are the bride, groom, mother of the bride or groom, bridal attendant or wedding guest you want to look your very best. This includes styling an attractive wedding hairdo. While everyone is choosing a wedding hairdo, he or she should be mindful of wedding etiquette and never upstage the bride, even in hairdos, since the bride is the focal point in attention of a wedding ceremony.

Being the center of attention a bride will take special consideration in choosing her wedding hair. Choosing the right hairstyle means paying attention to the small details of planning wedding. For instance, once you have chosen your wedding theme and colors, you will find it easier to choose your wedding dress and jewelry. Keep in mind that it is best to chose your wedding hairdo before choosing your wedding jewelry. Having a clear image in mind of the atmosphere, you wish to create for your special day, helps to find just the right style of wedding hair and makeup.

An important consideration is the facial shape of each individual when choosing a wedding hairdo. Your facial shape will naturally determine what types of hairdo will best compliment your overall look. The condition of the hair is also considered when styling your wedding hairdo. If your hair needs conditioning or any type of processing, it is best to have it done well before the day of the wedding. By doing so, you will eliminate any potential problems that may arise with time left to correct it if necessary.

Many brides try out several different wedding hairdos before making a final decision of the style they like best. This is a good idea, since you can take your time to decide which wedding hairdo suits you best. There is a wide variety in length and styles of wedding hair. Whether you prefer very short and sassy, medium, long and luxurious or swept up into customized updo hairstyle, you are sure to find many complimentary to your facial shape, wedding attire and overall appearance.

One big decision you have is whether to have your hair professionally styled or do it yourself. Whichever you choose you need to really look after your hair for it to look the very best for the big day.

One thing bear in mind is that the wedding day will be busy enough without some DIY, why not pamper yourself and get a professional in. Why not include a manicure and pedicure as well. After all, you do your own hair every day, so few extra hours of relaxing is called for.

Your hair should also be trimmed, to look its best. When you decide to go to a professional for your wedding hairdo, it is best to take along your wedding dress or at least a photograph. Having a photograph or wedding dress to look at will help your hairdresser help you find the most suitable wedding hairdo.

A great top tip is to wear a button up shirt while having your hair styled on your wedding day. This will eliminate the need to take a garment off over your head and possibly messing up your wedding hairdo. Remember that if you are having your wedding hair professionally styled, you will need to schedule your appointment early and not wait until the last minute to do so.

You can always start early and try out many different wedding hair dos months before your special day. If your hair is shorter than you would like it to be for taking wedding photograph keepsakes, you may want to consider making use of hair extensions. Hair extensions come in a wide array of colors from the very lightest blond to the deepest bluest black. You also have a choice of materials as hair extensions are made from as well as various lengths and styles, such a straight or curly. They are easy to care for and easy to wear, while adding just the right flair to any wedding hairdo.

Most importantly, your wedding hairdo should be in a style that best compliments your facial shape, fashion style, wedding style, and makes you feel beautiful.
