5 Wedding Traditions You Should Definitely NOT miss.

There are a lot of weddings traditions we love and some we could really do without {we're looking at you Chicken Dance}. And there are some that should not be overlooked. Ultimately, you will make the decision as to which traditions to uphold and which to toss like a bouquet. Here's our input on a few wedding traditions to not miss:

Paper Invitations. Electronic RSVPs are awesome and completely useful for tracking guests, but do not by any means forgo mailing tangible invitations. Not only does this give your guests a physical reminder of your wedding date, it also brings your special details to life. You have the opportunity to get incredibly creative with endless invitation suites based on your wedding details. Additionally, who doesn't love a nice heavy envelope in the mail?

Greet Your Guests. The best way to thank all your guests for traveling, near or far, to share in your special day, is to greet your guests. Take 10-15 minutes after your ceremony and greet your guests as they exit to head to cocktail hour. Tedious? Maybe. But you have a personal responsibility to put in face time with each and every one of those people. Get ready for lots of hugs!

Cut the Cake Early. You may be thinking, how is this more critical than the first dance? Cutting the cake signals to your guests that something sweet is on the horizon {yay!}. It also serves as a nod to guests that they have permission to leave. Let's face it, not everyone is going to party until midnight. Older guests and those with young children may want to exit earlier; cutting the cake shortly after dinner is the perfect opportunity.

Send Handwritten Thank You Notes. And send them promptly. A handwritten note goes a long way, even if it's short and sweet. You can purchase thank you cards to match your invitation suite or go with something more generic in bulk from Target - there are no rules! But do take a few moments after you receive each gift to personalize and mail each one. Aim for a couple notes a day. For gifts received on the wedding day, be sure notes are sent out within the month, with the last note going out no later than 3 months after the wedding date.
