Does your idea of the perfect wedding theme involve drama, glamour and unparalleled romance? If yes, you will love the idea of a night wedding.
Night weddings may be a relatively new thing, but it is certainly gaining popularity. After all, a ceremony under a starry moonlit sky is simply lovely. Not only is it an intimate affair, but it is also a whole new experience that your guests will not easily forget.
Not yet convinced? Here are some factors that are exclusive to nighttime affairs.
The Sunset And Night Hours Create A Magnificent Backdrop
Imagine how beautiful it would be if you had purple skies speckled with scatterings of sparkle from twinkling stars as your backdrop. The beautiful colours of the setting sun and magical sounds will be your background. Need I say more about how dramatic nature is at this time of day?
Outdoor weddings have unique charm! The natural setting is romantic, colorful, refreshing and relaxed. Nonetheless, an outdoor venue also presents its unique set of challenges. Unlike indoor venues, the variable factors are more in this setting. Hence, planning a wedding in the outdoors isn’t always easy.
The good news is that despite the possible pitfalls, you can still have a beautiful outdoor wedding when you plan it right. Our team will help you with this task with the following list of tips. This will definitely help you plan your strategy well and host a splendid outdoor wedding that will linger in everyone’s memories.
1.Research the pros and cons of different venues to make your decision
Your outdoor venue can be a beach, a garden, a resort or even your own backyard. Each of these venues have their own perks and pitfalls. Consider these factors seriously before you decide on the venue you want for your special day. Let us look at some of the common outdoor wedding venues and the challenges they present.
Beach: A beach is romantic and fun. However, it is also windy, sandy and with uneven terrain. You will have to limit your hairstyle, makeup and dress choice to what works in this unique venue. You will also have to rent everything for the wedding and pay extra to set up stage. It will also be necessary to secure different items without toppling over or flying away.
Lakeside: These venues are usually calmer than seashores, and yet promising in terms of beauty. However, lake sides are prone to bugs and have damp and dirty soil. They can become unexpectedly windy. You may have to prepare your party to wear bug spray and keep food covered to avoid unexpected disasters.
Winery: Unparalleled beauty, serenity and greenery mark this lovely wedding venue. However, there may be restrictions on custom plans. Many wineries restrict taking booze from outside, and your guests will have to make do with their produce at the bar. It can also become hot and humid in summer.
Park:Very casual and relaxed, this ambiance is well-suited for informal wedding styles. The cons of this venue is that you may have unwelcome onlookers who oversee your wedding. Also, there may be time restrictions. So, you may have to end your party early.
Backyard: Having a backyard wedding is often tougher than you think. You can of course save a lot of money, since you needn’t book a venue. Nevertheless, you will have to hire the décor and seats. Limited number of washroom facilities can be a problem. You will also have to take local rules and regulations into consideration when your house is in a residential locality.
If you still are unsure of which venue you ought to choose, here is some help to make your decision on the Huff Post
2.Irrespective of the venue, you must have plenty of shade or arrange for tents to keep guests comfortable
It is no fun being seated in a sunny area, especially when it is warm. Make sure your venue has a shaded space where your guests can relax without any harsh sunlight. Summer weddings can often get tiring, especially if there is no breeze. So, arrange for fans around the perimeter of the tents to keep your guests cool and relaxed. Also consider printing your wedding program on fans to work double. Or gift pretty decorative hand fans as your wedding favors and your guests can use them to stay cool.
3.Ensure there are plenty of drinks to stay hydrated
In the warm outdoors, your guests will naturally feel thirsty. Provide plenty of beverages and water stations to quench their thirst. Set it up at different locations throughout the venue, so your guests can simply head over to the nearest spot and refresh themselves. Arrange for a variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Flavored water, fresh juices and mocktails, fizzy drinks and local produce can all be highlighted in your wedding venue. For a stunning list of summer cocktails to stock your bar, visit this post on the Brides website.
4.Pick sturdy floral décor or arrange them outdoors just before the function
Flowers, especially the delicate varieties, do not tolerate heat well. So, take special care when planning your floral décor, bridal and bridesmaids bouquets. Pick sturdy flowers that do not wilt quickly. Preferably pick what is in season, as these flowers tolerate natural weather conditions better. Have your floral décor set up just before guests arrive, so they look fresh during the ceremony and reception. You can also add fruits and berries to the arrangement for a tropical, summery feel. Other decorative items like candles and embellished figurines are good options for centerpieces and decor items, since they are unaffected by heat.
5.Have everything held down in place
When the wedding is outdoors, you have no control over how windy it can get. The last thing you want is for things to be blown away and the entire scene to look chaotic. Keep this factor in mind when planning the arrangements. Ensure everything stays put by weighing it down with suitable items. Use ribbons or rocks to secure items like place cards and wedding programs in its place. Also keep the table cloth and runner fresh by taping them down so they do not fly with with the wind.
6.Plan your menu wisely
Exercise caution when planning the menu for an outdoor wedding. Heat will quickly spoil food, and you do not want to be responsible for making your guests sick. Catering outdoors also presents unique challenges. Frozen desserts like ice cream are not practical, as they will melt in the heat. Since you cannot control the temperature, it is wise to choose fail-safe food options. Your catering team should be able to confidently handle and distribute the items on the menu on time. Here are some tips to help you plan the food menu right.
Avoid serving cheeses, sea food and meat in the open. These items should be served and consumed quickly to avoid spoilage.
Use dairy products like cream sparingly in your dishes. Not only do these spoil quickly, their consistency may also be unpredictable when kept outdoors for a while.
Ensure all the dishes are covered once they are kept outdoors. Leaving any of them open is an invitation for bugs, ants and flies to attack.
7.Help your guests stay cool and safe
Make sure the site is visually inspected prior to the ceremony, to ensure it is clean and there are no insects or flies in the area. Since you can never be too careful, have some bug spray ready in case someone needs it during the day. In case your guests forget to wear sunscreen, it is a good idea to have that available as well. You do not want anyone falling ill at your wedding, or enduring sun burn. Simply place bottles of sunscreen in baskets at the venue, if your guests will be spending a long time outdoors. Also, make sure that you do not pick metallic chairs for the seating. This can get pretty warm and you do not want your guests to suffer on account of it.
8.Have an indoor location for them to chill in, if necessary
Not everyone can continuously tolerate a hot outdoor setting for a long time. So, your guests will appreciate a chance to relax in an indoor area, if it gets too hot. This is especially true if there are pregnant women or older guests in your party. This can be a smaller hall or lobby area that they can access. If your venue doesn’t have such a provision, consider hiring an A/C unit to or large portable fan for them to sit around and relax, if they find the heat too stifling.
9.Have a back-up plan
Unlike an indoor venue, you can never rule out natural emergencies that can affect your plans. It could be something as big as a hurricane, a torrential downpour or even a small shower. Prepare for such conditions with an alternate plan. It is best if there is an indoor location to move into in such situations. If the weather forecast on the day of your wedding isn’t promising, make your call early and move the ceremony indoors rather than risk your guests getting drenched. The staff at your wedding should also be able to quickly move your wedding tables and other decor items into the secured area, should the need arise. Always arrange for umbrellas or raincoats for your guests, should it suddenly rain. Even it is just a drizzle, your guests shouldn’t have to wait till they dry off. So, arrange for fluffy towels in the restrooms it showers.
10.Find out about licenses, permits and rules for outdoor events prior to the wedding
When planning your wedding, you should aspects into examine the licenses and permits for the location. There may be a time limit imposed on the use of outdoor venues. Ensure your party winds up before this timeline. Also check with the local authorities on whether you need a permit or license to hold a wedding at your chosen venue. If your venue is in a residential locality, there may be regulations on sound, parking and trash dumping. Make sure you are aware of all these restrictions and do not break any rules on your wedding day.
11.Use plenty of signage all over the venue
At outdoor venues, guests may find it confusing to find their way from one point to another. Save them the trouble by implementing plenty of direction signs all over the venue. Print them and set it up at different positions. Or simply do them in chalkboard and push the boards into the ground or hang them on trees. Use plenty of signs to direct guests to rest rooms and trash cans. You can also rent carpets to separate off the areas of the wedding from the rest of the area.
12.Make the most of seasonal fare
Every area will have its own refreshing produce, and this is what you should indulge in at your wedding. From the décor to the menu, flowers and gifts, let the season dictate your choice. Use fresh potted plants for your natural décor and even consider them for your wedding favors. Include seasonal produce in your salads, dressings, sauces and juices and your guests will love the taste. Use fresh fruits and flowers in your wedding cake and keep it simple for best results. Decorate with seasonal berries, flowers and fruits to create striking masterpieces that will tolerate the weather and look fresh all day long. Embrace the quality of the season, and your outdoor wedding will be a huge hit with your guests.

We have all attended weddings that score average or perhaps slightly better than average? However, how many times have we been truly impressed by the way a wedding was planned and executed?
It isn’t too difficult to plan a wedding that scores an average or slightly-above-average rating. However, you can do much better. When you host a wedding, take care of the details and your wedding will be elevated to an outstanding level. And the best part is, not only will your guests “love” your wedding, they will never forget it. So, what are these factors to keep in mind? Let’s take a look, shall we?
Welcome bags for guests from out-of-town
There is no rule that this is a necessary part of your wedding. However it can be quite impressive when the couple thoughtfully gift welcome bags to their out-of-town guests. Have these placed in their rooms, and your guests will be impressed by your thoughtful gesture. Fill it with snacks for them to munch on. You can also add souvenirs like sunglasses or key chains, perhaps even a magazine or crossword puzzle. Finally, we think you should use this opportunity to also introduce the theme of your wedding to your guests in a subtle way. Use the theme colors or motifs to give them a sneak peek into what they can expect at your wedding. More ideas on creating perfect welcome bags here, on the Knot.
An impressive entryway
First impressions last forever. Let your wedding occupy a permanent spot in your guests memories, through a stellar entryway that will not go unnoticed. Create statement style décor in your entryway, with theme pieces that are striking and majestic. Plan the design well, and keep it uncluttered so it is neat and noticeable. Meaningful additions like family or couple photos would also make it more impressive. Similarly, make sure your reception hall is well decked and picture-perfect long before the guests arrive. This sets the ambiance for the event. Choosing the right lighting, décor elements and seating arrangements will make or break your wedding scene.
Create wedding programs that multitask
The wedding program is stationery that is rarely put to much use. Make yours different with some creativity. Let your wedding program be suitable for something else as well. If your wedding is outdoors in summer, print the program on a fan that your guests can use during the day. Or, print it on a bag that doubles up as confetti holder. Small, but unusual details like these go a long way in making a wedding rather memorable.
Have a short and sweet ceremony
Long ceremonies can really bore and tire out your guests. With nothing to do or contribute, it can get rather dreadful when the ceremony drags on and on. So, skip all that is unnecessary. Keep your ceremony short and crisp. Discuss this factor with your wedding officiant, so it is handled efficiently. Take your time for the vows and walk down the aisle in full style. Your guests want to see you get married and capture that memory perfectly. But try to keep the rest of the ceremony to the point, and nobody will complain. Guests will appreciate it when they have some free time to walk around and mingle, rather than staying put in one place for a function that drags on.
Well-organized transportation plans
Guests will appreciate it a lot when you arrange transportation for them. This is even more important if your wedding venue is remote. Arrange a shuttle service, and your guests will be relieved that they needn’t hire cabs for their onward and return journey. If your ceremony and reception are held at different venues, arrange transportation between these two points. This will allow your guests to relax and ride in comfort, while they park at the first location. However, ensure that the arrangement is well-organized. Clearly communicate the plans to your guests. Have it on your invitation and wedding website. Provide proper directions and timelines, so there is no confusion. Also try to make the ride enjoyable by booking comfortable vehicles and include soothing music for the ride.
Plan interesting pre-wedding activities
There will always be few wedding guests who aren’t familiar with most of the people at your wedding. They may feel rather bored with nobody to mingle with. Make sure these people do not feel left out or lonely, by planning a pre-wedding activity where they can meet and mingle with others. This could be a cocktail hour before the main event, when they get to hang out with the others in a casual environment. People tend to naturally get talking at such events and this will help them get to know the others. You can also host simple games, through which the guests introduce themselves to the others. For more ideas on how to get your guests to mingle and mix, visit this post on the Wedding Wire website.
Don’t leave them hungry
Guests just hate it when they are famished by the time food arrives. Neither is it fun when few items on the menu suit certain guests, due to dietary or other restrictions. Make sure your caterers deliver on time, and the food service is efficient. Also include a wide range of items on your menu so there is something to please every taste. While planning your menu, think of diverse options that suit vegetarians, vegans, people with allergies and food restrictions due to health conditions. When there is a variety of food to choose from, your guests will be excited to enjoy it and look forward to the entire experience.
Indulge them in an open bar
There is no denying that an open bar is rather expensive. Nonetheless, it is one of the things guests look forward to most eagerly. So, don’t disappoint in this area, if you want your wedding to be remembered fondly. If the cost bothers you, keep the selection limited to just beer, few signature cocktail drinks and local wines. Just remember that this is definitely better than the guests having to pay for their drink or there being no alcohol at all. For budget-friendly bar options, visit this post on the Brides website.
Gift them favors that they will actually use
Most wedding favors are simply tossed or stashed away in a corner of their cupboards and forgotten forever. Don’t let your money go to waste. Pick favors that your guests will actually appreciate and use. The more unique they are, the better you can guarantee this factor. You will want to customize your wedding favors. Nonetheless, try to have the customization done is such a way that your guests won’t mind using it despite the printed impression on it. Edible favors are always a good idea. However, if you want to gift something that lasts longer, consider items like key chains, sun glasses, beer mugs, shot glasses, candle stands or décor items.
Don’t have the speakers blasting at full volume
There will be elderly guests at your wedding, and they won’t be keen on loud music at your wedding. So, be considerate and set your speakers to a moderate volume. Also, plan your seating arrangement in such a way that your older guests are away from the speakers and sources of music. It would also be a good idea to have an alternate lounging area, where they can sit and relax while the youngsters dance to the beat. This will allow them to mingle with others their age and have a good time of their own.
Invite them to participate
Rather than sit as mute spectators throughout the event, guests love it when they get to participate in the wedding. Invite your guests to request songs, and have your DJ play some of them. We are sure your guests will appreciate the opportunity to dance to tunes they love, than just to those you love. You can even involve them in the wedding ceremony. This post on the Intimate Weddings blog suggests a variety of interesting ideas like a musical procession, a prayer circle or including them in the unity candle ceremony. Find something interesting like this, and you will easily create fond memories for your guests.
Add an unexpected twist
Just imagine how impressed your guests would be if a group of onlookers would out-of-the-blue break into dance for a certain song. You could even impress them by taking dancing lessons and owning the dance floor with a spectacular number for your first dance. Or your bridal party can perform a choreographed dance when it is least expected! These items are never forgotten. So, add it to your wedding celebration. This will wow your guests and will be the talk of town. I wouldn’t be surprised if your guests think this is the most unforgettable event from your wedding, in the years to come.
Serve some nibbles after the party
Dancing to the beat for a long time can make your guests hungry. Serve your guests tiny snacks and watch their moods be uplifted in no time. Have these snacks served late at the reception, and it will instantly energize everyone. Midnight snacks like cookies, milk shooters, pop corn and even tacos will be appreciated by your guests. Distribute it around and your guests will be re-energized to continue on the dance floor again.
Appreciate your guests presence
You are truly blessed when most of who you invite attend your wedding. Some of them may have traveled from afar to witness your wedlock. Others may have put aside several plans to make it to your special day. Openly express your gratitude for their presence at your wedding. They will definitely appreciate the gesture. Make it a point to at least greet and spend few minutes with each of your wedding guests. This will make them feel that their efforts were worthwhile. Also remember that nobody likes a couple that’s too engrossed in themselves. Your wedding day is special, however it is also about those who take the pains to be a part of it.
Make an exciting exit
Memorable exits add the perfect finishing touch to a well-planned wedding day. So, plan yours well. Use showstopper elements like balloons, candles or even bursting wedding sparklers for a perfect exit from the venue. Consider bubbles or even flower petals instead of the traditional confetti for non-messy and sustainable options. Make it matter by also choosing a vehicle that makes a statement. Ride off into the night on a bicycle, hire a horse and carriage or even go for a fully decorated vintage car to complete the day in full style.
Don’t be one of those couples who are so busy that you forget about the other people who are in your wedding. Focus on the guest experience; we are sure your guests will love your wedding. After all, all your efforts pay off when your guests openly commend you on the preparations you did and how impressive your wedding was. So, think from their perspective when planning your wedding. Keep it personal and you can immortalize your wedding in the memories of those who attend it.

Flowers are an essential part of most weddings. Whether flowers form the main theme or appear in a supporting role, they are a valuable addition to a wedding theme. These pretty little trinkets of nature have astounding beauty and versatility, and this factor makes them immensely appealing.
The bouquet is a statement piece in every bride’s ensemble. However, few brides think beyond these floral beauties and include floral details to enhance color and visual interest at their weddings. Nonetheless, we just love weddings that include floral elements, where these natural details appear in interesting and unexpected places. Not only are they pretty to look at, they instantly add a cheerful and buoyant note to the scenery. Here are some ideas for inspiration. Take a look and we are sure you will want to embrace a few (if not all!) to add more floral fun to your wedding day.
Fun floral invitations
Invitations are a great way to let everyone know that you fancy flowers. Floral details on an invitation are always classic. Few colors can uplift spirits and create a dreamy invitation. And the options are endless. There are hundreds of flexible options that allow you to customize your invitation to the last detail. If you plan to DIY your 3d svg wedding, florals are an amazing concept for innovative and impressive ideas. You can choose to go with watercolor images, photographs or even floral silhouettes to embellish wedding invitations. Take a look at Creative Fabrica, and Creative Market websites for some brilliant ideas for DIY floral invites.
If you don’t want to do florals all the way and prefer subtle details, simply line the inside of your envelopes with floral prints. This detail will not go unnoticed, even while it will not compete with the main theme you choose. Take a look at this post on the Creative Market website for some brilliant ideas for DIY floral invitations.
Flowery flower girl dress
Choose a stunning flower-detailed dress for your little flower girl, and she will literally own her title! Little girls always love flowers, and we are sure your flower girl will be no different. There are several options to consider. You can choose a dress with flower prints that match the colors at your wedding. Another option is to choose a floral lace dress that is elegant and classic. Finally, you can go all out by choosing a dress embellished with 3-dimensional flowers like roses. You can always find dresses that match the colors of your wedding scene, with any of these options. We are sure your flower girl will love your choice, no matter which of these three you finally decide upon.
Floral crown
Let a floral crown be your hair accessory, and it will speak loudly of your love for flowers. Also, nothing else screams summer, like fresh and fragrant flowers on a bride. Delicate flower buds and dainty daisies can be woven together to form a splendid accessory for formal themes. If your wedding is outdoors or less formal in style, consider wearing an oversize flower crown made from a rich selection of flowers to make a statement. If you do not desire such a dramatic look, there is always the option of weaving few flowers into your hair. Flowers can be used as natural embellishments for braided hairstyles.
Fragrant flowers like jasmines and rosebuds are beautiful and deliver a rich scent. You can also go for larger flowers like lilies or even local flora and fauna in your hairstyle to look the part. When choosing delicate flowers, remember that they are likely to wilt quickly. Either switch them out before they wear out or try to get hold of artificial flowers for the same effect. There are plenty of beautiful ideas on how to wear flowers in your hair in this post on the Bridal Guide. Check it out.
Floral print wedding dress
Let your love for flowers free by choosing a wedding dress strewn with floral details. Floral lace is very popular among brides, with 3-dimensional motifs and appliques playing flower details to perfection. However, we suggest that you take it a step further.
Choose a wedding dress with ample floral work to highlight your theme. Watercolor prints, colorful appliques, or self-print fabrics can render a beautiful effect. Not only will you have a unique gown, but it will also be one that will forever remain etched in the memories of your onlookers. However, keep in mind that you may not easily come across bridal gowns with floral prints. With limited ready-made options, you may have to either go with what is available or custom-create your own dress. The other option is to shop in another dress aisles, like evening dresses or dresses for special occasions to find a suitable one.
This beauty features cheerful pink roses on white fabric. A pretty pink sash compliments the beautiful roses. Although the dress features floral prints, it fits the wedding dress expectation with its voluminous skirt and statement style elements.
Flower bag
Every bride needs an emergency kit for her wedding day. How about you pack all the essentials into a bag with flower-details? This will tie it to the theme, and will also be a beautiful addition to your ensemble. Choose a bag with floral details that match or complement the texture of your wedding dress. You can also find one that goes well with the rest of your theme colors.
Make sure the bag you choose has a reasonable size, so it can comfortably house all that you need to carry. This would be things like your hair and makeup essentials, tissues, smelling salts, handkerchief. These items will help you touch up your hair and makeup to stay fresh during the course of the day. It should also have emergency supplies to tackle any unexpected accidents. For more details on what to pack into your emergency kit, take a look at this previous post.
Floral bridesmaid dresses
If you think a floral bridal gown is too much, dress your bridesmaids in floral prints instead. Florals being a popular summer theme, it will be rather easy to find bridesmaid dresses that fit the description. Either mix and match or choose the same dress to achieve the desired effect. However, remember that it is easy to get carried away when you choose printed dresses for your bridesmaids. So, have at least two constant dress elements that will keep the look cohesive. Simple silhouettes usually look the best, when you want the prints to be noticed. We also suggest keeping the rest of the accessories simple and monochromatic, so the emphasis is on the print on the dresses.
Desserts with floral details
Sugar flowers are always a pleasant sight, and hence the perfect choice for decorating wedding desserts. Whether used all over the wedding cake or scattered around the perimeter, floral cakes are always welcoming. Fresh edible flowers are another interesting option that adds more visual interest to your dessert arrangement. Take a look at this previous post to find out how to decorate your wedding cake with flowers for a splendid effect. Finally, you can even consider cupcake cases adorned with flower details for the intended impact. These could be served at the table or set aside as favors for your guests to take home.
Choose subtle and natural colors to create a refreshing and natural arrangement. Simple but uncluttered details look best on desserts that match a floral theme. Take a look at the above image, for instance. The flawlessly sculpted cake is embellished with just gold foil and purple blooms. Despite the simplicity of the details, it looks spectacular.
Petal confetti
One of the timeless wedding traditions that continue to this day is to shower the newlyweds with confetti. Let petals replace paper confetti at your wedding. Pack them into delicate cones and hand it out to your guests to shower on you. This is the most romantic option available, and it is easy to arrange. Freeze-dried petals are available for the purpose. These look fresh and being bio-degradable, are a green choice for the festivities. So, whether these are showered on you while you are outdoors or inside the wedding hall, you needn’t worry about cleaning up. Further, it doesn’t stain when in contact with your white wedding gown. You can also use the same to scatter on your wedding tables and even along the aisle for a colorful and interesting effect.
Flower runner
Here is an interesting way to spice up your wedding tables with unexpected décor. While your guests will be expecting to see flowers as part of the décor and in the centerpieces, they aren’t likely to expect the entire table runner to have flowers. Pack flowers throughout the runner of a long table and the effect will be stunning. Use a neutral color tablecloth, so all the attention is focused on the colors of the flowers on it. Also keep the rest of the details simple, so there are no distractions and the flowers form the main focus of your tablescapes.
Flower garnishes for drinks
Add colorful, fresh edible flowers as accents to signature cocktails that will be served at your wedding. This detail is rather simple, but will certainly not go unnoticed. Your guests will in fact appreciate your attention to detail. Make sure that the flower color compliments or contrasts with the color of the beverage that is served. You can pair it with other elements in the garnish, such as berries to complete the effect. While choosing the garnish, ensure that the flowers are fresh. Keep the design simple, to just convey the theme without going overboard. Oversize blooms can also be placed in mason jars for a colorful touch.
Flower carpet
Arrange flowers or petals to form an attractive flower carpet that will steal everyone’s eye. Choose colors and designs that tie to the theme of your wedding, and set up the flower carpet at a location that will be easily visible. Although it can take a while to complete the details, the impact is worth it. Another benefit of this idea is that you can make the flower carpet as big or as small as you choose. It needn’t be formed of fresh flowers either. You can even add leftover petals from the rest of your décor or faux flowers to create an intricate design that is bound to impress.
Flower swing
An unusual, but very impressive way to incorporate flowers into your wedding day scene is with a flower swing. It is also a wonderful photo prop, that can be the focus of many beautiful wedding photos. Find a well-lit, noticeable spot at your wedding venue and arrange to have a swing decorated with flower arrangements up. After the couple has their turn, it can be enjoyed by the rest of the guests and we are sure it will be a lot of fun for everyone. If it isn’t practical to have a hanging swing at your venue, we think this idea of the circular swing on the Hallmark channel website is the perfect alternative.
We hope these ideas inspire you to add plenty of flower power to your big day. Do you have any more ideas, that we missed? If yes, we would love to hear them in the comments below.
