Why Hire A Wedding Consultant?
Such a common question in the wedding world! Why should you hire a wedding consultant?
Well - here is the answer I would give!
A wedding consultant can really help alleviate the stressed couple. We have experience coordinating all sorts of events and we can not only help save you time, but most of the time save you money too. We will work with your budget and show you the options that will get you the most for your money! Entire wedding / event coordination can become quite expensive for the average couple. If this is the case, it might be a good idea to hire a coordinator for a consultation session to create a clear timeline and task list. Also remember you can bring in a coordinator at any point in the planning process to help steer you back on track. Weddings should be a time of excitement not stress!

Thank You's
Send the perfect thank you!
-Any pre-wedding festivities inculding gifts should be noted. Who gave what?
-Begin writing your thank you's as soon as you start getting gifts! It's much less work then doing them all at once
-If you don't have time to presonalize every note, create a greeting that will share your gratitute to your friends.
-Don't wait until months after your shower or wedding to send the cards! How offended would you be if a bride never thanked you for something you gave them? They should be sent out within a month of the event :)

Out Of Town Guests
Most couples can't please everyone that they are inviting to their wedding. Remember, some guests will be travelling to celebrate with you! Here are a few tips to remember :)
1) Send a Save the Date! Travel arrangements need to be made ASAP so the sooner, the better!
2)Ensure they have a place to stay! Include hotel information with their invitation.
3)Have a welcome basket ready! Some travel from far away, and likely will be hungry when they arrive! Maybe include a pamphlet with neat places they would like to visit while they are there!

Invite Etiquette!
There are 3 common mistakes when couples begin sending out invitations for their big day.
NO BOXED GIFTS - It is common for couples to already have lived together therefore having the 'basics' when it comes to wedding gifts. A git of any kind is exactly that - a gift! Be grateful for what you receive, even if it is 3 frying pans! Most gifts can be returned, and if the gift giver remembers, come with a gift receipt. Registry information should be kept OFF of invitations (yes, even for showers!). The gift information, whether it be money, or sharing where the couple is registered, should be shared by word of mouth!
NO CHILDREN - if you have decided this will be an 18 + event, you have to get the wording correct. Only those whose names on the invite are actually invited. You can even fill out the names on the RSVP cards to avoid total confusion.
FAMILY AFFAIR - remember, everyone over 18 should get their own invitation!
