What to look for?
Before starting work on organizing a chamber wedding, It is necessary to answer several important questions.
- List of invitees. You should not invite your dad's husband's cousin aunt, limit yourself to the closest relatives, make a list of such people, and then run over his eyes and leave only those with whom you communicate at least 10 times a year.
- Decide where you are planning to celebrate your celebration - maybe abroad, in an expensive hotel, or arrange field registration in nature. Variants of the sea, each has its pros and cons, and depends largely on whether you are planning a long entertainment program or you have only a painting planned, after which the young people will leave for their first honeymoon trip.
- Be sure to refer to the services of the wedding organizer, who will specialize in exactly this format, the usual toastmaster will not work here. Chamber triumph has its own characteristics, which means that only such a person is needed who faces these kinds of weddings quite often.
- Think about how you will register your marriage. Keep in mind that if you have planned to travel abroad, then you should first collect complete information about the countries in which you can marry so that it will be recognized as valid in Russia. However, you can hold a ceremony without leaving the country and even the city - field registration can be carried out almost anywhere.
- Develop the concept of your wedding - this is important, because the wedding should be yours and yours exclusively. Give her maximum attention, spend as much time as it takes to work out all the details and nuances of the event. Usually, the couple and the organizer come up with the theme together and at the exit the wedding becomes not just a get-together, but a true love story, reflecting the very essence of your relationship.
- No less careful preparation requires a gala dinner, making the menu is not so simple, it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of your guests. Perhaps one of the invitees does not eat meat, and someone has an intolerance to one or another product.
- As practice shows, if there are not many invited, then a simple toastmaster with standard competitions and active games is far from what is required. Here a delicate and subtle approach is important in order to direct guests in the right direction and not to frighten them away with excessive activity.
- Think about music - what it will be like if you prefer live sounds. It is necessary to pick up musicians in advance.
Remember - nothing strengthens the family as tradition, and let them be laid at your chamber wedding, think about what sense they can carry, how you can realize all your plans.
Exit option

This amount is not difficult to organize for going abroad or to some beautiful romantic place.Think about the fact that the solemn ceremony can be not only a feast, but also a real adventure that you and your guest will remember for a long time.
Specialists in organizing weddings give some interesting tips. First you need to choose the right location, which in itself should reflect the concept of your holiday.
