PembrokeshireAgricultural Society presents the:

Pembrokeshire County Wedding FairSunday, March 4th, 201211am - 4pm, Brithdir Hall,County Showground,

Withybush, Haverforwest.

THE Pembrokeshire CountyWedding Fair was initiated by a smallgroup of businesses from the wedding industry and thePembrokeshire Agricultural Society.

It was felt that something bigger was needed to offer more

choice to local couples. It is a chance to show that you could get

everything you need for a wedding/civil ceremony or other big

celebration from Pembrokeshire and its borders.You can shop

locally. Held twice a year the fair has moved from the Pavillion to

the larger Brithdir Hall and the aim is to always have at least 100

stands.

As the event is run by volunteers, the price of stands is kept to a

minimum allowing for a wide range of businesses: small and large,

new and established.With 100 or more stands, you will need to set

aside some time for your visit.With this in mind, there are

refreshments available: tea and coffee from the Paul Sartori

Foundation caf, and also pig roast rolls from Ken Davies, of

Crymych, all supporting the local hospice at home charity.

Entry is free, with a 300 entry prize draw to be spent with an

exhibitor/exhibitors.This March, the sponsor of the pr

Newport Links, a coastal wedding venue in the north

Pembrokeshire.

The Pembrokeshire County Wedding Fair is proof th

to have your wedding in west Wales and support loca

you have a wide choice of services to suit a broad rang

and styles, from formal to quirky.

1. Always get a proof (a sampleprint) of your wedding invitationsfrom the stationer or printerbefore giving the go-ahead tohave them printed up. Checkthrough the proof very carefullyto ensure there are no printingerrors and that times and venues

are correct.2. Make sure you have moreitems on your wedding presentlist than you have wedding guests.It can be awkward if you get thesame present from two or morepeople. It also allows for gifts

from people who cannot attend.

3. Always keep a constantlyupdated list of whos coming toyour wedding in case of changes.Make sure these have severalcontact numbers for each person

like home and work numbers so that you can make quick,pain-free re-arrangements. If youhave a computer, try keeping allthe wedding details on file so itcan be quickly updated andprinted off.

4. A good map with well thoughtout and clear instructions is an

absolute must to ensure that

everyone arrives on time.

5. Order of Service sheets atchurch weddings can be easilyoverlooked and often becomepart of the last minute rush.Thisis a shame, because it can act as apermanent memento of your day.Make sure you have one for everyguest plus a few extra to hand.

6. In the post-wedding day rush, itmay escape your mind to sendout thank you cards. If you wantthem done in the same style asyour invitations, they should beordered at the same time.

7. Double check details with your

photographer. Once you havegone through the business ofbooking a photographer, ensurethat you send them yourrequirements in writing and get aconfirmation slip from them.Remember: Never makeassumptions about the service

that is provided.Ask, ask, ask.

8. If you are having a videomade, check with your ministerthat the service can be filmed.Most are agreeable, but someobject to having a video of suchan important ceremony.

9. Ask to see the car you will begoing to the ceremony in. Beingtold that it is a vintage RollsRoyce, however impressive thatseems, is not enough.You shouldcheck to see how the car hasbeen maintained, make surethere is enough room in theback for the bride and herdress.

10. Ensure that the church,register office or hotel dontmind handfuls of confettibeing thrown around theirentrances. Some might preferyou to use rice or sugarpaper.A simple check willavoid any bad feeling.

ORGANISING a wedding is a mixture of fun, frustration and

ruthless military planning.There are some things which,if

forgotten, can easily be rectified.There are others which can

cause endless problems. Here is a list of small but vital

ingredients for a successful wedding which might just escape

your attention and cause chaos if they do.
