Multicultural Wedding tips

Planning a Multicultural Wedding is a challenge, but not always as difficult as it sounds. Anytime a wedding involves more than one culture, customs and traditions are of key importance to those involved. As long as you develop a clear idea on which elements of each culture will be incorporated, the merging of the two will be flawless.
To avoid any pitfalls before, during and/or after the wedding, both sides of the family should communicate all the traditions they would like to be included in the ceremony and reception. Everyone should be opened to educating each other about their traditions and expectations while being candid about what is considered appropriate or inappropriate in the culture. Always remember this is your wedding and you should be happy and comfortable with the traditions chosen to be integrated.
Personalization is another great tool to represent each other’s ethnicity and culture during the celebrations, take advantage of it. With food, get creative. Fusion cuisine is a very popular and great way to include each other’s background during cocktail hour and dinner.
When choosing the entertainment for your reception, always make sure your MC/DJ knows and understands each other’s background and music preferences. Always remember to let guests unfamiliar with your ethnic and cultural traditions know what to expect.
