| |
One Year to Six Months Before
- Book the photographer, entertainment, limousine and taxis.
- Book your reception
- Discuss approximate numbers, style of reception, any special requirements
- Order your wedding cake
- Make provisional booking for overnight accommodation and out of town wedding guests. Please see our accommodation section for details of accommodation at the University of St Andrews during the summer months.
Two Months Before
- Establish the anticipated final number of guests
- Will you require a top table and, if so, for how many?
- Will you be having entertainers? Where and when do you want them to perform?
- What size/shape of cake stand do you require? Discuss your menu requirements
- What drinks would you like served? Remember to consider not only the arrival, but the evening. Do you wish a cash bar or should the drinks be on account? Do you want a full range of spirits and mixers, or perhaps a more limited choice of wine and bottled beer?
- Do you want the photographer to take pictures inside Upper and Lower College Halls? Where and when?
- Do you want a seating plan and place cards for all the guests or perhaps just the top table?
Three Weeks Before
- Confirm the final number of guests
- Agree the names for table-seating plans and place-cards
- Run through the timings of the reception; arrival, meal service, cake cutting,toasts, entertainments, departure.
- Decide when you will cut the cake and the approximate length of speeches.
- Are there any special dietary requirements, e.g. Vegetarian?
The Day
The culmination of your plans – ENJOY YOURSELF!
