There is nothing like wedding movies to prepare yourself for the big day and to break the ice with your wedding attendants or to just be able to kick back and relax with your girlfriends. So why not organize a wedding movie night with your friends or attendants?
Make a party out of it, pick out the best wedding movies, stock up on some fun finger foods and snack items and sodas, or turn it into a pre-bachelorette party and bring in some mixed drinks and party games to make it a real fun-filled evening. While it would be more relaxing to keep it simple, if you wish you can make this as intricate as you want, the style of the party itself is completely up to you.
But there is one thing that you can’t compromise on, and that is the awesomeness of the wedding movies that you pick out, so let’s take a look at some of the best wedding movies to have at your ultimate wedding movie night:
Father of the Bride.
The 1991 remake of the 1950′s original is probably one of the most hilarious and light-hearted approaches to an impending wedding ever made, and looking at things through a father’s point of view makes for a nice switch as you approach your own wedding.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
This movie provides a great relief valve as you laugh at the interfering qualities of a family that is simultaneously bigger than life and hauntingly similar in many ways to people that you probably know.
The Wedding Singer.
A sweetly romantic movie set in the 1980′s (but made in 1998), this movie speaks to the romantic in all of us while lightening the mood.
The Bride Wars.
Get ready. Get Set. Duke it out! When two best friends start competing for everything from their wedding location to their dress, there are no holds barred and there is a hilarious but simultaneously disturbing look at who we all really are beneath our skin.
Wedding Crashers.
While weddings are definitely the theme in this movie, the approach to the weddings is anything but traditional. The co-stars of this movie are wedding crashers who crash weddings in order to meet hot women, but when one falls in love with the girl he’s trying to seduce, everything changes and love turns what should have been a conquest into the romantic adventure of a lifetime.
While these are by no means the only movies available for an ultimate wedding movie night, they do give you a place to start and chances are that you know of a few yourself that would precisely fit your particular circle of friends. No matter what movies you choose, know that by keeping it light you will help to relieve the burden of the impending deadlines; keep it light and watch as all your cares fall away even as you forge bonds between you and your girlfriends that will last a lifetime.
