The colors you picked are gay. Is it a baby shower or wedding?
Yes your supposed to carry with you down the aisle: Something blue, something new and borrowed. You should place it in a small wagon and drag it behind you.
When looking for a DJ: make sure that 99 Red Ballons, Celebrate, YMCA, and Shout are part of his routine. Meet him in person, make sure he’s not some nerd with a stereo.
Wedding favors are the things all guest get. Something simple, like a carrot to promote excellent heath and eye sight.
DJ: Yes, you can have a list of songs for your dj to play. IF you want to meet with them to discuss everything, then tell them that. If they refuse or say it isn’t necessary, then don’t do business with them. I met with all of my vendors before hand because I wanted to ensure they did not clash with my personality and that they would be simple to work with.
Officiant: make sure they are really able to perform weddings legally…have their certificate, etc. Otherwise, I would base it off of personality more than anything. But you can also arrange for your preacher/priest/rabbi/etc to marry you so if you want your religion involved…that may be the way to go. Officiants can also include religion, but some don’t. That would be something that you need to discuss with them.
Ceremony site: You said you are having it outdoors….what if it rains? is there a nice spot that is covered on site that you can use if it does rain? What if something happens (loss in family, or severe weather/tornado/hurricane/whatever….) and the date needs to be postponed, what are the penalties for that or is that something that can be done without penalties/extra charges?
I would go with a pale/light pink. Personal opinion only there. Just because lavender and pink are similar and i reckon it would look cute.
Wedding favors are small “gifts” to your guests to thank them for coming. No-you don’t have to have them. They are usually something very simple like a small tulle bag with candy in it or a mini-chocolate bar with you wedding date/names stamped on it. My favors are single coffee bags personalized with our wedding date/names. Usually the favor is another way to incorporate your theme…..my theme was coffee…since we met at a coffee shop and we both loved coffee.
something ancient, new, blue, borrowed. It is an ancient wives tale that basically says if you have all these things when you get married, your marriage will be blessed and will last forever. usually it is incorporated within the things you are wearing. -Borrowing a pearl necklace of your mom’s (would be something borrowed and ancient), something blue is usually represented on the garter that you are wearing. And something new-the wedding dress.
Hello, 1st… Congrats!! It’s a wonderful ( & sometimes stressful) time!! When looking for a DJ they have a “schedule” with that schedule is a list… & in which order everything goes. If your looking online read their reviews, it tells a lot about how they conduct their business. Being outside take into consideration, weather, wind, sun location etc. I had outside & fans came in very handy!! For both, block the sun & it was HOT!! =) Wedding favors we did lil candles, bubbles, & lil gift bags for the kids. (they get bored ~ we got them a jumper) Make sure the place that your having the wedding & reception… cleans up. Some places make you stay & clean up… you don’t want that!! Since your doing the light theme, would the yellow/pink be an accent color?! If yes then go with pink. ( It’s a very pastel wedding) Excellent luck Hunnie!!
Don’t EVER hire a DJ without meeting them in person. Don’t hire anyone that won’t meet with you in person. Question the DJ what type of genre music he usually plays. Have a playlist of certain songs you want for certain dances (entrance song, 1st dance, bride/father dance, groom/mother dance, wedding party dance, exit song, etc.).
When looking for an officiant find someone who has the same beliefs you do or just get a JP to do it. Heck you can even have a close friend become ordained online and officiate your ceremony. It’d be a nice way to include someone in your special day.
Your colors do seem a small baby showerish but that’s your choice. And three colors seem like enough but if you must pick another I’d suggest yellow as yellow is the contrasting color for blue and it also goes well with purples.
You can have matches, mints, candies or anything for your favors. You do not have to have anything besides the two of you getting married. My friends did a beach wedding and they did flip flops.
The saying is “Something ancient, something new. Something borrowed, something blue and a six pence in your shoe.” Here’s a link with a really excellent answer for that question. (http://question.yahoo.com/20031027.html)
Excellent luck on your special day, but just remember that it’s just one day and it’s the actual marriage that’s the most vital thing.
And another random thing, this web site is really useful in what NOT to do. (http://www.etiquettehell.com)
DJ: Your DJ should allow you to make a list of the songs you want played. It is your wedding and you are paying them.
Officiant: Shouldn’t matter that you are getting married outside unless the officiant does only church services. Just look for someone you are comfortable with and listens to what you want for your ceremony.
Colors: I’d say just stick with the three colors. That’s lots already. Too many colors and will seem cluttered and childish looking. But if you really want to have more colors, just do it. It’s YOUR wedding.
Favors: They are the take home thing that you give your guests. Things like chocolates, shot glasses, candles, etc. They usually have a tag attached thanking your guests for coming. Some couples opt to give a donation to a charity of their choice in lieu of favors. I personally reckon they are unneccessary. Any that I’ve gotten at previous weddings have been tossed out within a week. They are just clutter and a waste your money. We are not having at our wedding next year.
As for the something blue, etc: You are usually wearing them. Examples: Something new – your dress
Something blue – your garter, some jewellry, a handerchief
Something borrowed – mother’s or grandmother’s necklace or earrings, same for something ancient.
Excellent luck! Have you been to many weddings?

If you are getting married at another church most require you use their ministers, if not, they may be available to you.

Colors
In my opinion… yellow goes better with blues…
And i’m clueless on the last question.
Excellent luck & have fun!
