It has always intriqued me of what people think event planners do for a living. People call me a party planner, wedding coordinator, maitre d', or maintenance person and the list goes on. What people may not know is that the event industry is viable to the American economy. It is a billion dollar business.
I want to let you know is my job is to assist my clients in having the best possible event within their budget. I will go and speak with vendors on my client's behalf to make sure they have a great experience. I will also sit down with each of my clients and discuss their vision and make it unique for them.
What I do not do is change diapers, prepare or serve food, play boom boxes, clean toilets or take abuse. Please know like any other professional I take my art very seriously. I am there to make sure you are the talk of the town. Value our services as you would do with any other professional. Take the time to know what I really can offer you by just asking me what I do for a living.

I tell all my couples that it is the small things on the wedding bill that can cause your wallet to bleed. One of the items that can cause you to rack up the expenses is the party favors. Are party favors necessary? How much should you pay for them? What kind of favor will fit in your wedding theme? And the questions continue.
I strongly recommend something edible and not tangible. The cute tangible favors such as a champagne glass, candle, or picture frames are left at the end of the night. This is because as nice and cute as they are people do not need another knick knack. But something chocolaty or chewy can be consumed at the event and there is nothing to take home but the memories of your wedding.
Think about homemade goods, chocolates, or candy. It can be hersey kisses or m&m's in a cute unconventional packing and it can become your table decor.

There are so many parties surrounding a wedding. There is an engagement party, bridal shower, bachlorette party, rehearsal dinner and then the big day. That is not to mention family get togethers during this unforgettable time in your life.Do all these party need to happen before the wedding? Are you worried that one of these parties may overshadow your wedding? Is it a concern?
Do not take over every party like it is your job. Enjoy the parties since they are honoring you. You are in control of the wedding of the century. Stay focus on that one event and let others work their fingers to the bone to make the other events happen. You do not want these parties to be too lavish but they should be fun. Your family and friends know you and they want you to have a good time. Bring on the fun if you want to contribute to these events.
Stay well rested and keep up your appearances. If you party too hard it will show in the morning and mainly on wedding day.

I was out yesterday at the mall and I saw more men at the stores than you would see any other time of the year. Is this day the only time you should show your love? I personally do not think so but I do think it is a great day to expand on it. We all say the word love but do we know what it really means. So, I went on dictionary.com to see what is the definition of love. Suprisingly, there are 26 definitions for the word love. The first four definitions fit the meaning of love for most of us. Here they are:
1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. sexual passion or desire.
4. a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.
If you were feeling any of these emotions about love yesterday, then the day was a great for you. Now the test is can you continue this. Remember love should be shown each day to help you grow in your relationships.
I would like also congratulate the ladies who have a sparkle in their eye and also on their finger. Your love should last forever.

As you are approaching your big day you should try to spend some time with your besties. This would be an opportune time to remember why you are friends. Try to have a girls weekend that is unrelated to the wedding. If not a weekend, a day together to celebrate your friendship will do. I would suggest a mani-pedi and lunch just with the girls. Or maybe a weekend retreat to relax and enjoy themselves. They are part of your wedding team and are ready to help in anyway. It would not hurt to give them a little time off and let them have some fun.
