Providing transportation takes care of guests.

Sending a detail email the week prior to the wedding, takes care of guests.

Adding a golf cart or two may be wise at some venues.

[2020 Top Ten things to remember when planning a wedding…the more serious list]

Your wedding celebration is for you to enjoy, just like your guests. You are on the guest list.

You are there to enjoy the experience you have created and enjoy the company you have *chosen to invite*. 

Turn off your phone for 24, 32, 72 hours. Let the professionals capture the day. 

Studies show that you remember an event better when you are not the one photographing it. Okay I don’t know if studies actually show this but I have heard that many times and I believe this to be true. 

Be receptive to the present moment. On your wedding day there is truly nowhere else you need to be.
