Every occasion becomes a convivial moment to make the wedding unforgettable.

Until a few years ago, the word wedding was associated with classic bachelorette and bachelor parties organized by the bride and groom’s closest friends. Only foreigners who chose Italy as their wedding destination used to plan parties to welcome their guests.

Today this is no longer the case:it is now increasingly fashionable, not only among influencers and celebrities, to think of different festive moments related to the “fateful Yes”day.

Among the most popular are the Welcome Wedding Party , a unique and special occasion to welcome and thank some guests before the wedding celebration. But not to be outdone are the After Party To continue celebrating the new union.

Let’s see in detail, with the help of Alessia Santa of White Emotion, what the trends and etiquette are for these events.

Il Welcome Party o “reharsal dinner” is a party for family and close friends. The key word is “fun”but without forgetting bon ton. The Welcome Party should be organized the day before the wedding. It is meant to be a welcome and is usually planned the night before the ceremony. A dinner or an aperitif, the important thing is that it is more informal than the bridal party, but anticipates a bit the mood of the whole wedding, an introduction to what guests will enjoy the next day.

A pool party in the city or a beach party in seaside locations with barbecues of freshly caught fish. If the setting is more bucolic then better to opt for a candlelight picnic with KM0 products. And again, a dinner under the stars with typical dishes that are unlikely to be enjoyed later in the wedding banquet. Even simple cocktail or pizza parties are approved. Music should never be missing to create that convivial and relaxed atmosphere that will allow guests to get to know each other better and meet again to celebrate the bride and groom in the following days.

Whatever the choice, the pre Wedding Party remains an opportunity to meet the most important people a few hours before the wedding and to melt away the tension of the night before the wedding.

Let the party continue…

For newlyweds who want to prolong their marriage as much as possible, it is increasingly in vogue for the After Party . These are divided into post-reception parties or special moments for the day after the wedding.

After the cutting of the cake, bidding farewell to the older relatives, for the more intimate and guests closer in age to the bride and groom, a second party begins that postpones the end of the wedding day as much as possible. In this case, the choice often falls to DJ sets and cocktail parties until the early hours of the morning with late-night snacks such as a noodle party or breakfast with freshly baked croissants before going to rest.

Alternatively, a pool or beach party where dancing can be unleashed in an original setting, perhaps with fireworks or, for the coolest, with final drone show. The important thing is that everything takes place in a joyful atmosphere different from the one experienced during the wedding reception. The dress also makes a difference and the bride and groom should opt for a simpler, comfortable but sophisticated outfit.

For those who want to add another day to the festivities, however, the possibilities are many:a brunch by the pool or in a vineyard, complete with local wine tasting;a light lunch detox and spa to rejuvenate after the wedding day hangover. Original is the choice of a walk to a special place for the bride and groom or a boat trip to the sea or lake.

The important thing is that it should be a carefree time to share the joy and the beginning of a new life together with those closest to you.
