Wedding Social Media Tips for Every Couple

Social media seems to be the center of today’s society. When a major event happens in our lives, we flock first to Facebook to inform the world. This is especially true for engagements and weddings. As great as it seems to brag about your future wedding and happiness, you’ll likely hurt some people’s feelings. Rather than blowing up your newsfeed with pictures and statuses, follow these tips to share your happiness responsibly.

Tell Friends and Family First

More often than not, couples update their relationship status to engaged and post a picture of the ring almost immediately after the proposal happens. Just hold off. First you should revel in the moment and enjoy the company of your soon-to-be husband. You should then call up your close friends and family. Seriously though, your best friend shouldn’t have to read about this big life moment on Facebook. When it comes time to update your status and inform all your social media friends, don’t post a picture of the ring. It’s actually extremely tacky. It looks as though you only care for the ring rather than the man who gave it to you.

Limit your Posts

Naturally, you aren’t inviting every single one of your Facebook friends to your wedding, so don’t bother everyone with posts about it. Consider creating a Facebook group including all your friends and family that you plan on inviting. Here you can share your ideas of the wedding and post a more in depth story about the proposal. Even though everyone in this group will be interested in your wedding, that doesn’t mean they’ll want to hear every little detail. So, try to limit your posts. To you, this is the most important day of your life. Your friends will be happy for you, but they don’t really care to know every detail. If you must share all your thoughts and feelings regarding your upcoming nuptials, start a wedding blog so other brides who care can follow.

Don’t Complain

Facebook seems to be the place for people to vent their feelings. We understand wedding planning can be stressful. From disagreements with your future mother-in-law, frustrating vendors or money struggles, you’ll have a lot of emotions. Don’t complain about it on social media, though. This will look unappealing to your guests and possibly diminish the joy of the event.

Now that you have your Internet use down to a minimum, it’s time to get down to the planning. When looking for the ideal Las Vegas Wedding Chapel for your ceremony, consider Little Church of the West. They offer numerous wedding packages at all different prices so even brides on a budget can have her perfect day. For more information about Las Vegas wedding chapels, contact 702.739.7971.

Calm Your Nerves About His Bachelor Party

Your dream wedding at the perfect Las Vegas chapel is rapidly approaching. You know what that means? His bachelor party is approaching too. We realize movies such as the Hangover have progressed women’s uneasy feelings about that night. Well, we’re here to reassure you that everything is going to be fine. Just take our advice and you’ll get through his bachelor party without suffering from an aneurysm.

Don’t try and stop him

If he wants to have a bachelor party, and chances are very high that he does, don’t prevent him from doing it. We know it can be scary to think about it, but stopping him is just going to cause tension between you two. It’s just one night for him to be “one of the guys” before you become the most important person in his life. Really though, it’s not a bad thing for him to want to have a guys’ night.

Communication is key

If you really feel that uncomfortable with the whole thing, express that to him. Now, we aren’t saying to nag him and make him feel bad. Just tell him that the idea of hiring a stripper makes you unhappy. He’ll understand. Ultimately, he just wants to make you happy. If you really don’t want a stripper involved, he’ll alter the plans for the party.

Remember the bachelorette party

Nowadays, it’s customary for the girls to go out and have a little of their own fun, too. If you plan to have a memorable night on the town, be sure to set yourself the same limits you gave him. The easiest way to get over your nerves about his bachelor party is to have your shindig the same night. You’ll be too focused on your own fun to worry about what he is doing. The biggest mistake brides-to-be make is sitting at home while he is out. This leads your mind to wander to unwanted territory.

Just relax

You said yes to his proposal for a reason. This means you have the utmost trust in him. A bachelor party is a sort of right of passage. It’s not out of the ordinary. Nearly every guy does it. This bachelor party isn’t likely the first one your future hubby has attended and it certainly won’t be the last. Just let him have fun and know that, at the end of the day, he loves you more than anything.

When the parties are said and done, it’s time to get married in a fabulous Las Vegas wedding chapel. Make sure you choose the right chapel for your style and budget. Consider Little Church of the West for your big day. With a vintage venue and affordable packages, every bride can enjoy her perfect day.

1950's Video featuring the Little Church of the West

This video from the 1950s promotes Las Vegas as a place for easy divorce and an easy Las Vegas Wedding. The Little Church of the West is the featured wedding chapel and over 70 years later is still offering a great selection of Las Vegas Wedding Packages

A Historic Treasure

Since 1942 it has been one memorable day after another at the legendary Little Church of the West and what better backdrop for your eventful day than the luxurious glamor of Las Vegas, “The Entertainment Capital of the World”. The Little Church of the West has played a major role in the evolution of the city’s image and has been the scene of more celebrity marriages than any other wedding chapel in the world. Betty Grable, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Dudley Moore, Cindy Crawford & Richard Gere, Angelina Jolie & Billy Bob Thornton, and even Elvis Presley (well, sort of…he and Ann Margaret recited their vows in the movie”Viva Las Vegas”, filmed here at the Little Church of the West) have all walked down our aisle to exchange vows.

Originally built as part of the Last Frontier Hotel located on an isolated stretch of highway that would one day become the famous Las Vegas”Strip”, the Little Church of the West upholds the heritage of Las Vegas with its unique architecture. It’s a freestanding replica of an old west mining town church. With an exterior of cedar and an interior of California redwood, the chapel looks much the same today as when it was first built. It speaks of the early days of Las Vegas when its business district consisted of only the first three blocks of Fremont Street. As the town grew with the population boom caused by the construction of near by Hoover Dam, Fremont Street began to pulsate with wall-to-wall casinos. As first class resorts began to dot the desert skyline and big name entertainment lit up the beckoning marquis, the stage was set for the Little Church of the West to take its place in the annals of Las Vegas history. Attesting to its historical significance, the Little Church is listed on the National Registry of Historical Places, the only such place on the “Strip” with this honor.

One of the requirements for inclusion is that the structure retains its original integrity. “It hasn’t changed,” says current owner Greg Smith. “I mean, there’s been some painting and re-carpeting but the pews in there are believed to be the ones built with the chapel in 1942.” The four Victorian lamps that light the chapel are believed to be from 19th-century railroad cars but have since been converted from gas to electric. In 2007, the Little Church of the West celebrated its 65th anniversary and remains the oldest existing structure on the Las Vegas “Strip”. How did this quaint little wedding chapel stand the test of time and all the facelifts of the Las Vegas Strip? Simply put, it moved — 3 times to be exact. The chapel first moved from its original location on the north side of the Last Frontier Hotel to the south side in 1954. In 1978, it was moved onto the grounds of the Hacienda Hotel to accommodate the building of the Fashion Show Mall and in 1996, the chapel was moved to its current location on the corner of Russell Road and Las Vegas Blvd to accommodate the building of the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino. Smith says the chapel has been popular because of its historical significance and its unique appearance. “There’s a lot of mystique about the chapel”.

The wedding chapel business flourished because of easy marriage laws. Unlike other places, Nevada did not require a waiting period and there were no requirements for blood tests. Today, those particular reasons for traveling to Nevada to get married have become less significant as laws in other states have changed, but Smith says those reasons remain significant for people from such countries as Germany which has strict laws governing marriage, adding that last year people from 22 countries were married here. For Americans, however, getting married in Las Vegas remains hassle-free, inexpensive, and something to remember.
