It's not too early for Seating Charts!

Good News!! It’s not too early to start your floor plan and seating chart!!

When you send out your invitations you can create the floor plan at the same time. List the table number and the guests that you would like to sit at that particular table. As the RSVP’s come back in you can highlight the guest as attending. Once the RSVP deadline has come to a close you are able to shift around your guests if necessary to eliminate and add additional tables.

Many couples get overwhelm with the table seating, address this at an early stage and it will be less for you to worry about in the end. To also make this task easier for you, print the escort cards a week before the wedding and organize them in alphabetical order. If you are using and seating chart in alphabetical order by last name, this can also be printed and framed ahead of time.

Be strategic when you plan out your tasks….especially as you get closer to your wedding day.

Enjoy the planning process and relax as you move along towards your wonderful wedding day.

Vendor Relationships - Who is right for the Team

Have you thought about the relationship you should have with your vendors?


There are different levels of relationships that you will have across that board. When you think about it…who will you be spending most of your time with?


Each vendor is important, however think about the time and expectations that you have for your vendors and realize that it is important to mesh well with them all especially your planner/coordinator, photographer and videographer. The florist receives your vision before hand and executes to your expectations. The stationery design company brings your vision to light on paper. When you think about the roles each play and logistics there are the many things to think about.


Consider the vendors whom are there for the entire day…don’t hire them at last minute, this should be a top priority vendor and listen to their response to your style and envision them on your day. After meeting with at least two to select from in each category review mental notes with you fiancé and determine if they will make the team for your wedding or special event.


Happy Planning
