I saw these save the dates while visiting Martha the other day and thought I'd share them with you. Great idea for a destination wedding and it fits well for brides that want a more contemporary, modern look and feel to their wedding theme.
Not at all. It's all about HOW you ask them. Learn about them and how they do business. Some wedding planners have specific instructions on how they handle intern requests. Always adhere to them and be sure to remain professional at all times. Don't stalk them...that's a big turnoff. Try getting to know them by attending networking events in your area first. Remember the "know, like and trust" rule. No one will work with you or recommend you to others unless they know, like and trust you...right?
Easy...helping women who have been abused to create sustainable, prosperous lives for themselves and their families.
I'm a survivor of abused who left a very bad relationship with little more then the clothes on my back, 11 years ago. Today I am happy and at peace with my life and I love sharing with others how I did it. Love of God, self and family!!
I sure do! There are three main sections...contracts, planning checklists and production.
Each couple's binder has a checklist (one for me and for them), contracts, mockup pics, timelines, swatches, contact info for all bridal party members, etc., etc., etc., all filed in the appropriate main section. On the wedding day if needed, I have every piece of paper produced throughout the planning. Most of the time, I only need the timeline to run the day of logistics, but its good to know I have my binder, just in case!
RSVP's can be tracked with a system that is as simple or as complexed as you care to handle. Depending on your "techie" tolerance, I recommend using a system that is both efficient and comfortable for YOU! Me? I'm a computer geek so I prefer to do it using a software program that keeps track of all my client's information, including billing, vendor preferences, timelines, etc. It's called iDO and it's owned and distributed by Elm Software.
The software has an invitation utility as well as a way to track RSVP's. The website has a great little tour online...check it out!

Trying to decide what gift to buy for that wedding you've been invited to? Gift registries are great but there's no hard and fast rule saying you must choose a gift from them.
I just ran across this article about affordable gift giving. Logical and practical advice...read on!
Happy Planning!
