Engagement Party Ideas and Favors

May 16, 2012 – 11:02 am

If you’ve recently gotten engaged, you may be looking for some engagement party ideas for the party you want to host to celebrate your engagement, starting with when to have the party, who usually hosts and/or pays for the event, where to have it and who to invite.

While engagement parties aren’t mandatory and so not all couples decide to have one, it’s a great way for the couple’s respective families to meet and give the bridal party to get a chance to get acquainted before the rehearsal as well.

When Should a Couple Have the Party
Typically and traditionally these types of parties are held when a couple is having a relatively long engagement, at least a year or more before the wedding date. The parties are held about three months or so after the couple gets engaged and no later than six months before the wedding. It would be a bit odd, not to mention nerve-wracking to try and come up with engagement party ideas at the same time as planning out a wedding. read more »

Why do you need a good Wedding Planner?

May 2, 2012 – 11:56 am

You might be wondering: Why hire a Wedding Planner? What role does a Wedding Planner play?

I asked myself the same questions, but on my wedding day I realized just how much a wedding planner would help. Everything about my wedding: the florist, decorations, photographer, videographer, invitations etc. was organized by me. I thought I took care of everything and that there would be no surprises on the big day itself, that i would get to enjoy my wedding in its fullest. I was brought back to reality though, when a number of little but important last-minute details started appearing on that day. And since I was my own wedding planner, I had to take care of those details myself. As an outcome, I would not relax even for the moment right up until all the guests were gone. A good wedding planner was the only thing missing on my wedding day, one that would take all this stress away, who could take care of all these little last-minute things and let us relax and enjoy our most important day in our lives.

Not only does hiring a wedding planner provides you with a stress-free Wedding day, but you get a lot more. The Wedding Planners let you save your greatest treasure – Time during the preparation phase. You don’t need to follow up, negotiate, coordinate with your vendors, don’t need to spend time searching for good vendors and looking up referrals. Your Wedding Planner has already taken care of it and has the whole list of selected and trusted vendors. read more »
