Wedding Tip: Have Your Guests Upload Photos to One Place
I used to think that having disposable cameras at each table at a wedding reception was such a fabulously brilliant idea.
But now the quality of the disposable film cameras is too shoddy for any possible framers, plus the kind of people who are going to take photos will have already brought their own cameras. To further drive a stake in the heart of this old trend, last year the majority of you voted that you no longer loved it.

Having planned speeches at your wedding is in no way mandatory, but if you don’t account for them, they’re likely to happen anyway, so before the big day, it’s best to sit down for a few minutes to plan them out. To check out my tips on reception speech etiquette, read more

How to Make Your Wedding Slideshow
In your wedding planning mania, don't forget the touches to the wedding that are distinctly you — and one way to remind your guests of what is you, literally — is photo slideshows! Slideshows are awesome for weddings, whether you want one to show at the wedding, the reception, rehearsal, and showers — as well as making one from the wedding and honeymoon itself, to have for you and your honey to keep for yourselves.
Luckily, software and tech helpers have evolved, preventing your slideshow from being a cheesy affair — remember the days of photo collages at weddings?
