Written List for photographer
Give your photographer a written list of people you want photographs of. We did not think to ensure we got a picture of my grandmother, and she was hurt and furious. Also, someone from the family or a close friend can be enlisted to work with the photographer on that issue.

Wedding party couples
When planning photos with your photographer, request individual photos of your attendants with spouse or guest. It's rare for young people to have nice portraits of themselves, dressed to the nines, with their special someone. These may become one of their most cherished photos in years to come.

Explaining Dedications to the DJ
I wish someone had told me how important it was to make sure your DJ understood you wanted to dedicate certain songs. We thought our DJ understood I wanted to make a dedication to my parents (mother deceased and father living)on a song my father really wanted. Well he blew it by dedicating to my father only. I never saw such a hurt expression on his face. I whispered to him that I had told the DJ it was for both of them and I had wanted to make the dedication myself. That seemed to help a little but that will bother me for a long time.

Placement of guests
I wish I had been told to place the parents of the groom and bride in the most prime position at the reception. Instead they were off to the side and not directly in front of the bridal table.

Arm Chairs for the Hora
If you're having a Jewish wedding, do not forget to bring two arm chairs for the Hora! I've seen so many brides nearly slide right off chairs without arms because they didn't have anything to hold onto. (Thank goodness for our wedding planner who brought ones from her own living room!!)

Saying Thank You
I regret that my groom and I never got up and thanked our parents for giving us such a wonderful day. Neither of us remembered to make any speech or toast at the wedding or rehearsal dinner.
