Plan a Double Wedding for Best Friends
There are few people who mean more to you in your life than your life partner and your best friend. A great way to show your commitment to the person you love and your best friend is to throw a double wedding celebrating the both of you on this very special day. Just because the concept is a little unorthodox doesn’t mean that tradition has to go out the window, however. Here are some guidelines on throwing a double wedding that your friends and family will never forget!
Instructions
1. Get approval from both couples. Weddings are a very personal day for the couples getting married. Do not underestimate the importance of this day to some people who are not comfortable sharing the limelight with another couple.
2. Pick your guest list. Double the wedding means double the guests. This may mean that you will have to choose a location that will be more expensive because it will have to house a lot more people, but the good news is you will be able to split the cost in half.
3. Choose your color scheme and wedding theme. Get ready to butt heads a lot more than you would during a single wedding. Some people have waited their whole lives for their special day and have spent years thinking about it. Be ready to compromise with your best friend and their partner, as they will have to compromise with you. Luckily, it is likely you will have similar tastes.
4. Send out the invitations. Wording these invitations will be tricky, but make sure that the invitations state both weddings that will be taking place so the guests can plan accordingly. Plus it makes for a great story and a fun time.
5. Determine which ceremony will go first. Traditional etiquette dictates that the older bride gets precedence and goes first in all situations throughout the night.
6. Check your ego at the door. Throwing a double wedding means being willing to share some of the focus on your special day with the other couple. Remember the good parts—you are saving costs, starting a new life with the one you love and hanging out with your best friend.
