Making your day Favorably special!
Planning a Wedding or an Event can be the most stessful thing to do.From choosing the reception site, to the church, to the dress, to the music, to the cake, to who is going to be in the wedding party. But the very first thing that you HAVE to do is: PLAN A BUDGET.
This is going to determine how much you can spend on the reception, dress, music, cake and ultimately the member sof your wedding party.I see so many people come into my office and have all of these elaborate ideas and then we sit down and start talking about MONEY, and they soon realize that they can't afford that huge reception with open bar, top shelf liquour and top of the line food for 300 people. They realize that they HAVE to scale back tremendously.
Everyone has a different idea of a dream wedding. Some want a huge lavish wedding with all the bells and whistles. Some people want a small intimate wedding in a backyard or garden. Whichever wedding is for you, be sure to make it a wedding that you want and are happy with. You have to be happy with the wedding or event to truly enjoy it.
When planning an event you want to take into consideration what is important to you. Is it your dress, the cake, the reception, the ceremony or the food.Most people will spend the most money on what is the most important aspect of the wedding. If it is the dress then you might validate spending a large amount on it because that is the most important part of the wedding. The same for the cake, the music or anything esle.
I will offer these key pieces of advice,
Make sure that you:
1. PLAN A BUDGET
2. Make it realistic
3. Stick to your Budget
4. Determine what is important to you.
Happy Planning,

I know! I know! It’s always about the bride and what’s happening on their special day… from choosing their dress to choosing the bridesmaids. What about the groom and his groomsmen. What’s a good way to go about choosing guys to be in your wedding?
Let’s start with the possible “gimmes” a brother(s), a dad and brother-in-law if you’ve known him for awhile and are considered friends.
Most men have a very tight group of guys that are always around and ready for whatever. These guys are our best friends. So the dilemma is who to choose. My bestman was my first friend. But the other guys came in like clockwork.
I chose from my life’s path. There was my brother who has been with me all my life. Next, I went with 2 guys from childhood, then one from high school and one from college. Last were my two new brother-in-laws whom I had known since dating my wife, (about 8 years). So I was set. You may use a similar system, but there is no right or wrong. You can’t worry about hurting people feelings if they weren’t that close or were new friends in last couple of years. However, using new friends work great if you haven’t kept in touch with older buddies.
When selecting potential groomsman, you may also want to consider the financial obligation of being a groomsman. They will have to rent a tux, on average renting could cost about $150 depending on what you have chosen. That’s not like bridesmaid dresses that could possibly (hopefully) be used again and again. There is also the cost of hotel accommodations, gas, airplane tickets, time off from work, etc… Don’t wait until the last minute when deciding. Give everyone enough notice so schedules can coordinate with your wedding date.
You may also need to choose a couple of guys to serve as ushers. The ushers will have their own duties but could stand in for a groomsman if an unfortunate event happened.
When it’s all said and done, don’t forget to choose the right gift for each guy. They don’t all have to receive the same thing. You can give gifts based on the personalities of each of your friends and what they mean to you.
It’s your choice, so don’t get bullied. Think carefully about your friends and choose wisely.
Making your day favorably special,

Even though the title says hot bridesmaids' gifts, these are so practical they can be gifted at anytime for any reason. If you carry a purse, you could use one. I still haven’t figured out how they work but, hey, I’m a guy!
So what am I talking about? Purse valets.
