Love / Tips for organizing Polish-English wedding in Poland with US guests. [17]

Thanks guys.

Thanks to the wedding in States that we already had (very small) we don't need official translator, what is more we were planning to make it bilingual (like bible readings in polish and then english and some more). So basically this wedding in Poland we are planning to make as fun as possible for us and for guests, that is why I am concerned so much for everybody to make it as much fun as possible.:)

Vodka and beers will be on the wedding (I don't think the polish site would consider it a wedding:) and anyways thats what I am used to so I would not take it out.

We are going to have one person translating most of the fun part to both sides, so this will also be covered and we were thinking about sitting the guests next to those polish ones that know a bit of English.

As for the place it will be in very small town but we are advising our guests to come to the wedding week before (to eliminate jet-lag) and visit some of major tourists attractions (Krakow, Warszawa, etc...) depending on the people either we will organize them or they will do that individually. Additionally we have some entertainment planned on Thursday and Friday so there would be initial "get to know everybody".

Gosh it is still one year to go but I am trying to figure out what else to think about since we are going to Poland this Christmas and the next time we will show up will be at the wedding. :)

Well I dont really think they will need visas but if they will introduce it just before then we are screwed. Its enough for the guests to buy 1000$ ticket and take a week off but its another to go to the ambassy and wait in the lines and stuff....that will dramatically decrease the amount of people (and as for what I hear its already small). I was hoping my husband would have someone from his site.

Yeah
We are in process of producing booklets with all you want to know about polish wedding, itinerary, some interesting facts and some polish drinking songs like "sto lat" or others in a pronunciation form. We also have a wedding site, that tells about the tradition, what to wear, what the weddign is about and for those who want we have movies from the weddings from Poland that my parents went to so they know in advance....i am just worrying we are going to forget about some important stuff that I havent thought about

It will be mostly his friends (depending on how many will come) cause we had already one wedding for his family.

Maybe I am worrying too much but I am just scared that they are going to helplessly sit and not have fun....so I was looking for some kind of entertainment and tips how it went at someone's else's wedding.
