"OMG.... where has the year went"
These are the words being muttered everywhere. Brides are finding that they are running out of time in preparation of their Spring Wedding in 2011.
Here are a few tips to help you get organized and ready to hit the aisle:
Check and make sure your guest list is ready: to many times we think it is ready to go and all of a sudden you forgot about addresses
Check with your Venue: Go ahead and call them up and make sure you and they have done everything that is needed to make sure your Wedding Day is perfect. Sometimes little details can be missed in the beginning of your planning that need your attention now
These are just a couple tips to help you stay on track with your wedding planning. If in doubt it is never to late to contact Party Planners Plus to help pull all the details together for you.

Gearing up for the next Bride's Seminar
OK, so I loved doing the first Bride's Seminar and I have had so many positive responses that I am ready to get started on the next one.
Help me out by letting me know your interest in attending or donating to the Goody Bags (the last Goody Bags were great)
Go to my website at http://www.partyplannersplus.vpweb.com/ and click on the Seminar page. Fill out the form and send it to me. Add a little note and tell me what month and day works best for you along with answering the other questions.
I will post again soon about it.
Hopefully I will be posting updated information and pictures here in the near future now that I have a short time off. Sorry to all the Bride's I turned down for June and July, but I just needed a little time off with family and friends this summer. I am scheduling for 2011 and 2012 already so please email for a consultation from my website page.
Take care,
Nora

Be Kind to the Bride...she can't predict the weather!
Wow.....what a May it has been!
May weddings are behind me now and I will miss all of my couples.
Heat played a big part of the weddings in May, we are in Ohio so you never know what the weather will bring.
Last Saturday, the 29th of May was so hot and Erika and Matthew had an outside ceremony at a local Park at the Gazebo. The day was beautiful no rain in sight, but the heat was horrible.
The bride held up wonderfully and never complained....the guest, little different story.
When a Bride plans her wedding day, she decides on the month, the day and the time. She goes out of her way to make sure her guest will have the very best she can afford for them. Predicting the weather is one thing she can not do. She can pray and hope for rain to hold off for her outside ceremony, but always have a plan "B". When it comes to cold or heat hopefully the guest will dress the part.
Here is a short list of "DO NOT DO THIS" at an outside wedding no matter how hot or cold you may be.
1. DO NOT......complain because it is cold or hot, DO wear layers so that you are more comfortable. If it is cold, wear your coat, hat, mittens and scarf.
If it is hot, wear cloths that will breath. So many dresses out there now that are so adorable with just a little pair of sandals. Pack a bottle of water...just in case the bride does not provide it at the ceremony.
2. DO NOT......move the chairs. The Bride has worked very hard to line these things up just perfect. Most of the time she may not of seen the set-up beforehand because she hired a Planner/Coordinator to do this and is excited to see the outcome when she walks down the aisle.
When you arrive if you can not be in the sun seek out the Planner or Coordinator or a member of the brides family and ask if you could be in some shade and out of direct sunlight. Let them provide the chair for you so that they can adjust the seating.
3. DO NOT.....complain! If you feel you must, do it quietly so that other guest do not hear you. Trust me it gets back to the Bride and her family. Do you really want your 15 to 30 min. of being slightly uncomfortable to make the Bride cry because you were not in air conditioning.
Bring along a hand fan in case the bride does not already have them on the chairs for her guest. It is always hard to judge the weather in April and May and if budgets are tight, that may be an expense that she can not afford.
4. DO NOT......forget your umbrella! No matter what the weather man or woman says there is always that risk of a sprinkle or worse yet downpour at an outside event.
Be smart at weddings you attend. The invitation will let you know if the wedding is inside or outside and by being prepared not only will you enjoy the Ceremony....so will the Bride by knowing her guest were there to share in the happy day.
Till next time,
Nora

Bride Seminar
Hi Everyone!
I am so excited to let everyone know that Party Planners Plus is getting ready to hold a Bride Seminar!!!
If any Bride's are interested in signing up (before all of the details are worked out or if you should have any questions feel free to contact me through www.partyplannersplus.vpweb.com and click on the contact page.
The Seminar will be a 5 hour Class on everything you need to know about planning your wedding. There will speakers from every group of vendors such as Photographer, Cake, Florist, Venue, DJ, Caterer, Hair and Make-up along with hopefully a Small Bridal Gown Show (still working on the details on that)
Each Bride and her guest will receive a Goody Bag full of samples and discounts.
Each Bride will receive a 3 ring Binder to help keep her organized as the planning process continues throughout the months before her wedding.
So much is being planned and you do not want to miss it!
Along with everything a light lunch is being planned and demonstrations.
You will get to have one on one with the vendors unlike you do at a Bridal Show. Please remember this is not a Bridal Show it is a seminar for you to learn what you need to have to pull off one of the Biggest Days Of Your Life.
Cost of the Seminar is being worked out....it will be very affordable!!!
Let me know if you will be interested in attending because I see this filling up fast.
Each Seminar will only be for 25 Brides plus one guest ( I may rethink the guest, because I know every bride has her mom and best friends that they would love to share the day with. Let me know your thoughts on this...who would you want to bring?)
More on the Seminars will be coming soon!

Congratulations you just got engaged!!! Now what?
The Holidays are past now and so many engagements happened over the Christmas holiday leaving future brides asking the question "what do I do now".
As a Wedding Planner I should be saying "Girl get busy", but instead I am saying
"take a few deep breaths, enjoy the moment and pick a day where you both can sit down and truly talk about what you both want".
Pick a date that you both agree on, dates that are memorable to the both of you (this will make it easier for him to remember your anniversary ladies) such as first date, first kiss or the first time you said I love you to each other.
Figure out what you both are comfortable spending on your wedding, who will help contribute.
Think of where you want your ceremony and reception to be. Should it reflect who you are? Couples today are making big statements in the way they are getting married. Most brides still want a Church Ceremony and a Country Club Reception, others are going for the ceremony and reception in the same venue not only to help cut cost, but to have more of a large Party than a traditional reception.
Start with a summary of guest you would like to invite, feel free to put them all on paper, but be prepared to narrow it down. Weddings for 2010 are forecast to be smaller and more intimate. Brides are learning if they want a more lavish wedding, then the guest list has to be cut. We talked about this in a past post how much you can save by taking off just ten (10) guest, think about what you can do when you subtract thirty (30). Believe it or not girls size does matter.
Have fun planning in the first few months of your engagement, it is such an exciting time. If you find that you are becoming to stressed a Planner can help with all the details while allowing you the fun of picking colors, choosing themes and finding the perfect dress.
