It's His Wedding Too!!

 
 
When Planning a Wedding the Bride usually takes charge, leaving the Groom behind, with not much to do but the rental of his Tux and to show up for the Big Day. It would be nice to involve him in the planning and share in the decision making. I know you're thinking he doesn't want to take part in linen choices and the many different shade of white, but there is so much more to the wedding planning than linen choices.
Start Sharing from now It helps going forward.
 
 
 
 
 
Here are Ten Tips:
 
  • Create a Personalized Web Site. 
  • What man doesn't love to eat? Work together on choosing the Menu.



  • Allow him to choose the Transportation for the day.
  • Your registry does not have to be Crystal & China alone, now electronics are in.
  • Allow the Groom to choose the Grooms men's gifts.
  • Have your husband sign the Thank You Notes
  • Even though it's customary the Grooms Family to pay for the Rehearsal Dinner, It's also a great time for bonding for him and his family.
  • Plan a getaway to the movies (his choice) or a Spa getaway together.
  • After the Reception Invite the Groomsmen and Bridesmaids for a special Thank You Signature Drink. It will be the talk of the wedding.
  • Let you Hubby make all the arrangements for the Honeymoon. He'll enjoy playing Travel coordinator.
Have a bond, Share a Life of Love, Happiness & Friendship.

Rules to follow....

Hello again guys.
So you have the client, and the Event is a GO. 
Maximizing your event is a must. There are many factors and facets to make your
Event a Success.
Just by following a few simple steps you can elevate any event into something more. 
Giving any event the WOW factor
You know that you have a achieved a Stellar Successful event, when the guests 
"Just Don't Want to leave"


Music is the soul of an event it is essential to choose the right play list. Music must be monitored, so the volume is neither to high or too low. Music should be, Loud enough to enjoy yet low enough for guests to carry on a conversations comfortably. 



Remember that every event is an experience for your guest, try to have a surprise
 every 30 minutes. Rather it be big or small.

An event is an escape. Always make sure the décor creates lots of “OMG” moments.
 
 
Carefully placed scented candles are a must, for all events, preferable at the entrance. Always in bathrooms. 

Be sure to have enough servers, at least 2 for every 10 guests, when hosting a seated dinner. 

Carefully time the service of your courses. You never want some guests finishing appetizers while others have moved on to the main course. 

Assign one person to remain close to the client, or the host of the event. It is essential they have quick access to someone, who can attend to any last minute needs or suggestions. 


Maintain good communication with clients and make sure they know what to expect. You do not want clients to say. “This is not what I had in mind” it’s a phrase that is said too often. 

You know you had a successful event when guests do not want to leave. Be sure to have additional food and entertainment, should you find yourself hosting guests who don’t want to leave. 

No one talks about guests who smoke. Always make sure to have an area, even if it’s outside.

Setting a Formal Table

Hi Everyone welcome to my Blog. Hope you enjoy.

I attended a conference in Vegas this  past week and I had an Eye opening experience.
There were persons in the Wedding & Event Planning Industry that could not set  a formal dining table.
I WAS SURPRISED!!!

That is why I am so glad that I offer Table Setting as part of my Wedding and Event Planning Course, that I teach. I'm going to stress that so much when I get back to class...
Be really honest how many people Actually, I mean actually know how to set a table?

Setting a formal table is Extremely important because no one wants to be using someone else's utensils at the table.
Isn't it funny how so many people do not pay attention to detail. This is what makes or breaks you in this business. There is nothing better than having a well dressed table. The Right Linen, The Right Colors , The Right Floral Arrangements , The Right Cutlery. and remember Everything in its right place. Things look better when they are uniformed.
Imagine wearing mismatched clothing. You will stand out in a crowd but that would not make it right.


And remember to Start eating outwards working your way in.

 
See you next week.
It's Nice to be Important, but it's more Important to be nice.
