The Flexible Role of a Wedding Consultant

November 28th, 2008 by writer | Posted in General   Comments Off

A modern wedding is a major feat of planning and even a relatively simple one can get out of hand and end up costing thousands. You can easily get hooked on the newest trends and try to have it all. Well, if you are going down that route, why go the whole hog and employ a wedding consultant.

It may not seem logical to add another expense to the list, but have you considered that it could save you money in the long run? Her contacts in the businesses that you will need to deal with will allow her to get you better deals than you would be able to. She will be putting lots of business their way and they will pull out the stops to keep her happy.

At the very least, she can give you a checklist to work with so that you can book the services you will need in good time. And a great wedding coordinator will be able to put together a day to remember while sticking to your budget.

If you are teeming with ideas but can’t put them into a plan or you don’t know where to start, your consultant can ride to the rescue. The creative input is nice, but what about all the dull details? When you start to list the things that need to be attended to in putting a wedding together, it can be quite overwhelming.

If your money is no object, your wedding planning service can handle it all for you. She can use her checklist to make sure that everything has been accounted for and your opinion sought, and then you can leave it to her. Nothing will be left to chance and it will all be coordinated tol come together on the big day.

However, the scope of the wedding planning service is flexible, with the level of involvement being reflected in the cost. Obviously handng over all the stress to somebody else would be great, but also the most expensive option. The couple can decide with the consultant what her level of involvement will be.

There may be some elements of the planning where you would like to take a more hands on approach. Maybe you have contacts in the catering industry and can to arrange that for yourself. You may be able to do most of the practical tasks and just use your consultant for creative input, choosing a theme, planning decorations etc.

At the very least, she can help you to prepare a timeline and a checklist that you can work from so that you know when to start the planning and when to book the services you will need. Even this could be an invaluable help making your wedding day a day that you will remember for the right reasons.

How to Be Green with Your Wedding Invitations

November 25th, 2008 by writer | Posted in General   Comments Off

Green can have a much different meaning than just the color of your wedding invitations. A hot topic these days in wedding planning is ‘going green’. When it comes to your wedding invitations, you will be happy to know there are a number of easy ways to be more environmentally conscience, some of which may even save you some money.

The most obvious way is to have your invitations printed on recycled paper. Designs on recycled papers have come a long way in giving you some gorgeous choices.

Reducing the amount of paper used in the printing of your invitation ensemble is another simple way to be ‘green’ with your wedding invitations. Suggested ways to save on paper include:

  • Select an invitation style that comes with only one envelope for mailing thus eliminating the familiar inner envelope. An example of this style is a self-mailer invitation where the envelopment wraps around all of your pieces and seals up to become the actual mailing envelope. Another benefit of having only one envelope is that you will save on your handwriting time. This style may require extra postage depending on its overall size.
  • Choose a smaller sized single-panel invitation card instead of a larger folded or layered style.
  • Use a response postcard to eliminate the need for a return mailing envelope and to save on postage.
  • Include your reception information on your invitation to eliminate the need for including a separate reception card (having less weight in your envelope may even save you from purchasing extra postage). If there is enough room for extra lines as part of your main verse printing, your dinner and reception details can be added as the last few lines. Another option may be adding a corner copy to your invitation (3-4 lines that appear in the bottom right or left corner usually in a smaller font size) for those details. There may be a small extra charge for corner copy which is not recommended for narrow or tea length styles.
  • Pick a seal n send wedding invitation style that gets mailed to guests without an envelope. This economical all-in-one design folds up and seals into its own self-mailing piece. This style also has a response postcard attached for easy removal and mailing back by your guests.
  • Set up a personal wedding website to give your guests easy access to online maps, directions, area hotels, gift registry information, etc., instead of printing extra invitation insert pieces.

Today it is easier than ever to make earth-friendly choices when selecting your wedding invitations without sacrificing quality and style. Every little bit helps when it comes to saving our planet and some of your choices might even save you some ‘green’ (money) in the process.
