From a Wedding and Event Planner in Charlottesville, VA

Do you ever feel like blogging is that last thing in the world that you want to do? Most people say no.  But maybe if you buy a house, get pregnant, grow a baby, and continue working on several fabulously wonderful weddings for 2011 and 2012 then you’d say yes. I may or may not fall into one of those categories. Either way, blogging must go on. (says the marketing business. ) I have some things to share with y’all here soon, but I am quickly slumping into that second category and need to stare at the real world instead of my computer screen.  To tide us over, here’s 5 tips for you lovely brides out there:

1. Have you seen the weather lately? Consider not getting married outside in May. Unpredictability is not our friend.

2.  Save money and don’t print one wedding program per guest. Try printing just 50. No matter how large your guest count is. That’s all that’s ever used up anyway.

3.  Hire a wedding coordinator. Have I said this before? Can’t remember.

4 .  Your wedding photographs can never be redone. Hire a good photographer the first time. They are second most important to hiring a wedding planner. (Love to all my photographer friends, you know your place in my heart.)

5.  If your toast givers (Maid of Honor and Best Man) are likely to be intoxicated half way through your reception, consider sparing them and every single person in the room the embarrassment, and place the toasts in the beginning of the night.
