Officially tied the knot! My unsolicited advice

Officially tied the knot! My unsolicited advice 1
1) Hire a day of coordinator - my day was wonderful and I am pretty sure she played a role in making sure I heard nothing
2) The cake doesn’t matter - don’t go broke for it, we got sheet cake from our local grocery store for our guests and they loved it and we had a two tier cake and didn’t eat it because we didn’t have time. In total we spent $300 on cake for 200 people
3) A good DJ matters - ours was great and really knew how to get the crowd on the dance floor. We played awesome games that our guests loved! 4) I should actually put this as number 1, have your bridesmaids practice with your bustle!!!! Mine didn’t and they spent/wasted an hour on mine because it was so complicated. It was so bad even my photographer had to step in help. Also the longer the train the harder the bustle.

    They first had the bridesmaids do a scavenger hunt. Then they had the groomsmen do a blind folded dance off that was rigged so that as soon as the music started all the groomsmen except our most outgoing groomsmen was left on the dance floor dancing by himself because he thought he was still competing.
    Then they played a toilet paper game
    And the shoe game And then they did the whole dance party dance, then find a random guest in the crowd and made them dance with us, then they kept splitting it off till basically everyone was on the floor.
    Then a little later in the evening they did an anniversary dance for the couples who had been together for awhile.
