Themed weddings take the ordinary, make it extraordinary, and can be a ton of fun but they can also be a nightmare to plan. Sometimes it is hard enough just to find caterers much less caterers who will cater to the whims of a maniac. Planning a wedding that is worlds different than anyone has ever experienced takes a special kind of planner, (as mentioned above) and much more preparation than an ordinary wedding provided you are incorporating your theme into a wedding and not trying to create something new. With that in mind, if you want a wedding that is unique and completely different, get out the checkbook. However, you can just theme your wedding to a holiday. Sure, it has been done but holidays are the perfect opportunity to do it your way, which will make it special.The most fun you will ever have at a holiday wedding is a wedding held on and themed towards All Hallows Eve. That's right, The night before Halloween allows you to be creative to the maximum degree and really howl at the moon. More important than that, it allows your guests to be uniquely creative as well and that is what can make your holiday wedding special. Imagine your guests attending the wedding in their entire Halloween splendor. There is no telling what you might get, especially if they have six months to a year to prepare.
The trick to making the event the best that it can be is to let your guests know on the invitations that they can be as creative as they would like and that nothing is out of bounds. Encourage them to think outside the box and you will get more than just vampires and Frankenstein's Monsters, you will wind up with the wildest assortment of creatures imaginable. It is also a great idea to ask some of your more creative friends and families to assist the ones who do not know how to get down and get funky when it comes to Halloween, make-up, or costumes. What could be more fun than the bride and her zombie husband being married with the wedding party of the dead by their sides?
If you are lucky or patient, the best way to approach a Halloween themed wedding and reception is to have more than a year to prepare. It is much easier to buy the necessary supplies for your party during the holiday season than say, June, so planning the wedding more than a year in advance will give you two opportunities to buy your decorations and will also allow you more time to be creative with the décor. If you are really going to be elaborate, everything will have to be ready to go quickly and at the last minute. This is especially true if you are renting a hall or wedding chapel as it will only be available for the one night. Coordinating that kind of effort takes perfect timing and a lot of bodies and remember, unless you want them setting up the decorations in costume, they will need time to prepare as well.
There are so many things you can do with Halloween wedding planning that it staggers the mind. A unique cake topper of two spiders being wed and a cake serving set consisting of an axe and a bone saw would be extreme but you get the picture. The food caterer will find it challenging when asked if they can serve brains in a nice worm and maggot sauce. Green wedding cake with blood, anyone?
