What’s the purpose of a Beer Can Wedding Cake you ask? Well, weddings are a celebration for everyone involved, and we all know that most guys like to have fun sharing a beer or two when they all get together.

♥ There are alternative ways to include your dog in your wedding besides walking them down the aisle, and possibly wreaking havoc on your guests. For many couples their pets are like family, especially their dogs. Although many furry, lovable dogs may behave just fine walking down the ceremony aisle in a pet tuxedo wearing an adorable sign like “I loved her first”, “My humans are getting married”, “Dog of Honor”, “Will you marry my dad?” or “Here comes my Mom”, but many more doggies might just have a mind of their...

If you’ve never planned an event or celebration like this before, it’s best to think about the END RESULT or the outcome you want first. What do you want the outcome to be, the celebration to feel like and look like, and your guests to say at the end of the night? In order to figure...

Prepare and practice what you want to say to the couple and their guests You don’t have to be a pro to write or give a wedding speech, just have a plan, and execute it. There’s nothing like standing up in front of 150 of your friend’s or sibling’s favorite people to make you nervous; add in a few drinks, and lots of emotions to the mix, and that’s a recipe for disaster if you’re not prepared. Use note cards to guide you, and prepare a beginning (introduction), middle, and end...
