Theme Weddings are a great way to take you away from the norm and into something a lot more fun. Here you will learn about Theme Weddings. A good theme wedding package can be made available in every shape, budget and size. You can look for all-inclusive theme wedding packages, which cover everything from your flight reservations to hotel rooms to outfits for the entire wedding party should your wedding take place out of town.

Or you might be interested in a smaller package, which includes the chapel service, flowers, and a cake for your special day.If you've ever been to a theme before, your best bet is to do some of the legwork yourself. Pick out your favorite hotel and make a reservation for yourself and anyone else who might be coming with you. You might also want to arrange a limo from the airport (you can get help from the hotel with this) so that transportation and carrying your luggage won't be a worry. Everything else for your wedding, you can leave up to the wedding people.Picking the right theme can save you a lot of time and hassle. Most of the good theme weddings offer several different types of packages for the guests.

You can get a professional video of your wedding ceremony, custom-made photo albums, and even a wedding garter and all of them can be included in a single package. This will be your comprehensive guide to planning a them wedding!

USING THEMES TO CUT WEDDING COSTS

There’s nothing like a well thought out theme to make your wedding celebration completely unique and memorable for a fraction of the cost.

A wedding theme should tell your guests something about the two of you as a couple and as individuals because that’s what makes it unique. If you share a love for sports, maybe a sports themed wedding would be right for you. Or maybe you met on the beach, where you would likely want to choose a beach themed wedding.. Once you’ve decided on your wedding theme, you are going to want to make sure all elements of your wedding celebration reflect that singular theme, and that is including the wedding favors and gifts.If you can’t think of a theme wedding favor idea, one good way for you to start is to think about things that are included in or that reflect the theme.

For instance, if you are having an Asian theme wedding, there are great Asian wedding favors available all over the place including the internet that all have Asian designs. Some of these samples include fortune cookies, chopsticks and take-out boxes and there are a lot of beautifully designed favors with these designs at even dollar stores these days. Some of my favorites are a Fortune cookie place-card holder, a silver take-out box that has the names of the couple engraved on it. Here are few other cheap ideas for your different wedding themes:

•Winter wonderland:
• Use Christmas icicle decorations for your wedding
• Make centerpieces with silver toned glitter and faux flowers like lilies
• Use cotton baton to create a look of snow wherever you like
• You can use plastic ice sculptures should you choose

These are just some examples. The good news is that no matter what your theme is, you can find wedding favors to match it as long as you think of things that make you think of that theme. If you are having a beach theme wedding, you may want to consider favors with items like shells, fish, sand, and water. Look out for designs with motifs like beach umbrellas, flip-flops because they are easy to add to your theme and they are cheap.For a really elegant and yet useful beach theme favor, nothing really beats a beautiful silver dolphin-shaped bottle-opener or a shell shaped candle accent when you add it to the festivities.

But if that’s beyond your budget, there are some cool and cheap wedding favors that you can use like a shell card holder, a mini beach pail filled with candies etc.Here are some more great theme wedding favor ideas that you can use: if you’re having a particular flower as your wedding theme, be on the watch for candy-holders, place-card holders, candles, tea-lights and candy that are shaped in that particular flower and so on. If you’re having a wedding during the winter holidays, you may want to check out favors that have bells and holly wreaths or maybe even some birds. When it comes to themed wedding party favors, the trick to making sure that you guests love their favors is to pick those that are elegant and in keeping with your overall theme and yet can still be useful after the wedding.

Themed weddings can always be bought without spending an arm and a leg. All you really need is a big imagination and a few good ideas and you are off and running. Just have a big mind mapping session and see what pops out. Choosing the theme is the easy bit of having a themed wedding. You can make it special to you, for example, a Scottish or Irish theme if one of you has Celtic heritage, or just something you both enjoy, such as country and western or mediaeval fantasies, which is my favorite. Putting it into practice is the hard part though, as there are many factors to consider in the process such whether the venues you have chosen are happy with a themed wedding taking place.

Not only will the reception area have to be notified if you want special decorations or food, but the minister or city official may not appreciate you turning up for the ceremony dressed as aliens from Star Trek. In addition to that, you need to find out what extras you are allowed while you are exchanging vows. A Scottish piper might be a romantic touch during the signing of the marriage license, but a full-scale civil war re-enactment outside the church may not go down too well. The next thing that you have to consider is how far you want to take the theme.

Much of this will depend on how much it will cost, but spare a thought for your guests as well. You and your partner may think it's fun to have all the guests dressing up, but will your they be able to afford the costumes and if your grandma like the idea of parading round in a bikini or hula skirt? But if you're sure you don't want to restrict fancy dress costumes to just the bride and groom, make sure you let others know your plans clearly on the wedding invitations well in advance of the day itself. Depending on your budget, you could really go to town on your chosen theme. For example, if you fancy a Mediaeval or Tudor wedding, you can find castles and country houses where you can hold the reception or even the ceremony. You might also want to organize some different travelling venues other than cars or limos.

A popular choice is a horse and cart, but how about arriving to the ceremony on a motorcycle, tractor or an open top bus? Whatever you choose, make sure you have alternative options if it rains. If you're worried about your budget, just simple table decorations or a special cake may be enough to accentuate your theme. And you can easily follow the tips mentioned above for lowering the cost of other things. If you are considering having an outlandish wedding cake, shop around and ask to see previous examples of the baker's work and find out how much it will eat into your budget. Not many chefs can knock up a miniature cake for you so look for a sample that is realistic. As for the reception, the color of the balloons, the seating cards, menus, flowers and food can all be incorporated into your theme.

You might even want to add some unusual centre pieces for the tables, such as an arrangement of shells or some origami figures, or you can even have napkin rings in your favorite football team's colors. If you are having a themed menu for your wedding such as fish and chips, curry or a full mediaeval banquet you will have to bear in mind that it's unlikely to be to the taste of all your guests, and suitable alternatives will have to be provided. And make sure you have informed the caterers of all your plans well in advance. Oh yeah and don’t forget to add a vegetarian section for guests that do not like meat. The reception is the easiest way to incorporate a theme. You could organize a Celtic ceilidah or a barn dance if you want. The sky is the limit with themes. If music is not your thing, then you could even turn the reception area into a casino or have unusual rides such as a bucking bronco or a bouncy castle.
