Items that May Be Part of Your Ceremony
The Guest Book
Years ago, the wedding guest book was essential as a written record of the witnesses to a wedding. Today, it serves more as a cherished keepsake forthe bride and groom.

Many brides place their traditional guest books on a table at the ceremony location so guests may sign it as they come in. Modern couples often opt for a mat signing board with their photo in it. While still other couples are choosing elaborate scrapbooks for their guests contribute to during the reception.

The Beautiful Outdoors!
Looking for that perfect outdoor ceremony location in Colorado? One of the beautiful parks may suit your needs perfectly! Visit the Park Information and Reservations site for fee, licensing, and reservation information.

The Wedding Party
You should select people who make you feel great! Never feel pressured to choose an attendant for reasons other than your own happiness.

Responsibilities
Participants in your ceremony have traditional responsibilities.

It's a good idea to create small checklists for the friends and family participating so they know precisely what to do. It's easy to forget things during the excitement and emotion of the day!

Click here for a typical list of wedding party responsibilities. You can customize this as needed!

Music for the Ceremony
Discuss your musical selections with clergyman performing the ceremony. In some cases, he or she must approve the selections before they can be used.

Be sure to arrange for appropriate sound systems and/or equipment. If you have recorded music, find out if you need a cassette tape or a CD. Many churches only have a cassette player! Also, if you have live music, you may have to request microphones, music stands, etc.

Caution! If you have a song that must be cued up on cassette, make SURE it's cued properly. We heard a story of a local wedding where the bride wanted "From this Moment" to be played during the unity candle lighting. Unfortunately, the tape wasn't cued properly and the final words from the previous song played first --- Shania Twain singing, "Don't be Stupid!"
