All of us know about the amount of hard work and toil that goes into planning a successful project. To achieve the desired result from any of the projects, it is important that you begin the planning for each of the stages, right from the start. In fact, even for a successful and memorable honeymoon, it is important that you begin planning at an early stage. It is actually useful to sit down to plan with a paper and pen and plan each of the aspects carefully.

Key Aspects

Foremost, it is important to decide on when do you want to go on the honeymoon. There are many factors that can play a role. The most important is the vacation time, as the new couples do not want to miss any working days and hence the salaries. Still others will want to go only when it is not a wedding season and hence the famous honeymoon resorts will not be crowded.

It is for this reason that you will find many couples postponing their honeymoon to as much as a month after their weddings. However, such honeymoons have to be very well planned and executed. Likewise, many of the couples on honeymoon also choose the time of their holiday in accordance with the activities they want to perform. For instance, couples wanting to take up skiing will prefer to go in the winter months, even if that means waiting for some time.

The Next Step

Once you have decided when you are going for your honeymoon, its now time to think of the options you have for the destinations. The most important consideration in this is to take into account the preferences of both the partners. There are women who prefer going to the hills, with all its cozy and romantic surroundings. On the other hand, men usually wish to visit more adventurous places and even indulge in challenging sports like bungee jumping, paragliding and the like.

Moving on, its now time to look for a suitable service provider for your honeymoon. You should look for a travel planner who has been offering exquisite honeymoon packages to keen couples in the past as well. There are various ways to look for one, such as contacting acquaintances and take referrals. You can even go through the yellow pages or research the internet for some suitable options. A well-planned and memorable honeymoon can very well kick-start your married life on an excellent note.

Some time later, the bride and groom come along for a picture opportunity and the grand cutting of the cake. Then everyone enjoys cake and it’s gone. Believe it or not, there are many more activities that can make the wedding cake more about fun and less about tradition. Of course, watching the bride and groom push cake into each other’s mouths is a long-enjoyed tradition, but there are many more fun – and less messy – activities to consider as well. One new option that’s gaining popularity is to have cupcakes instead of a cake. This is a method that is usually more affordable than having a cake and it can be a lot of fun. Cupcakes are decorated in alignment with the wedding theme, just as a cake is, but the cupcakes are instead arranged on tiered cake plates and displayed on a cake table until it’s time to eat them. The cupcakes can be simply handed out on plates to each wedding guest.

Now, what’s fun about using cupcakes instead of a whole wedding block is you can save money, certainly, as many reception halls and caterers charge a per slice fee to cut and serve the wedding cake, but you can also build activities into the cupcake presentation. For example, the cupcakes that are for the bride and groom can have a different decoration than the ones for the guests. As an extra touch, you can have the baker include a special prize in one or several cupcakes. A small charm or tiny toy can be baked into the cupcake. Whoever gets the charm wins a special prize. These prizes can range from a gift basket or gift certificate to a restaurant to a diversion with the bride or groom.

Similar to the idea above for cupcakes, this involves baking small charms or tiny toys (but usually charms) into the cake. Those who get one of the charms are said to have good luck. You might even consider having charm bracelet charms baked into the cake, which are then made into a charm bracelet for the bride. Not everyone enjoys cake. How about an activity for those who won’t be eating cake? They can be required to do the “Macarena” or the chicken dance during the time when everyone else is eating cake. If they manage to do the dance continuously while the other guests enjoy cake, they win a prize. Or they simply get to sit down, as now they are tired!

In keeping with the diversion during block theme, how about a requirement that in order to get cake, a guest must perform an impromptu diversion first? Or there could be trivia questions about the bride and groom or about favourite culture. Guests must correctly answer the questions before getting their cake. There could be competitions among tables or individuals for most questions answered correctly.

Many people believe that once the cake is cut, they are free to leave if they wish. Since cake cutting usually comes after the meal and after dancing and other traditional celebration activities, many people take the opportunity to leave the party after the cake is cut and enjoyed. If the bride and groom want their guests to stay after the cake is eaten, it is worth some extra effort to build some activities into the cake-cutting event so people will stick around longer. This can be as simple as telling people not to leave, or can be more subtle and fun.

For example, each person could receive a slip of paper with his or her cake. These slips of paper could be prepared ahead and provided to the catering company with instructions that one folded strip of paper be placed on each plate with the cake. The paper might give an agenda for the rest of the evening or might ask its recipient to perform a little dance, to head over to give the groom or bride a kiss, or might ask them to take the flower girl out on the dance floor for a spin. The unknown will keep all the guests guessing and provide some entertainment as the instructions are carried out.
