The PLAYLIST...and how to trust the band leader.

   Since most of our couples are really concerned with avoiding
"cheesy" songs...and most of them want to include their favorite
songs and artists...creating a playlist makes a lot of sense.

   The Do Not Play List lets your band leader know the songs you don't want.
And a requested song list tells him the songs that are important for
you.

   Now, it's a great idea to include your favorite tunes in your
wedding reception.  It's an easy way to make your wedding even more
personal and meaningful when you hear a song that makes it really
feel like YOUR day.

   But here's where it gets tricky...

   You can't "make" your guests dance to the music you choose any more
than you can "make" them have fun.

   Even if you've chosen the coolest songs in the world...if you're
guests don't respond to them...you're stuck with an empty dance floor.

Once you’ve spent all that time planning the look, the feel and they

style of your wedding, it makes sense that you want to enjoy the day,

right?

   Talk to pretty much any bride after her wedding and she’ll tell you, “It all went by so fast!”

   Here are a few wedding insider tips that will help you relax and enjoy every moment.

SECRET # 1 – Allow lots of extra time in your wedding day.

   Wherever you can, allow for extra time.  Think it will take you an hour to get ready?  Give yourself two.

   Most brides forget to allow enough travel time.  It takes longer

than 5 minutes for your girls to pile into the limo; remember to allow

time to arrange dresses, gather bouquets left in the church and take a

quick bathroom break.

   You can never have too much time on

your wedding day.  Those breaks and gaps will be a welcome chance for

you to relax, breathe and take it all in.

Pretty much every single one of our clients wants their wedding
to be FUN.  Nobody wants a boring party and yawning guests.

   So this email will focus on what you can do to guarantee that
your wedding is fun.  When your wedding is fun...it's the dream
wedding you've always wanted.  Your guests will talk for years
about how great your wedding was and compare it to all others that
come after.

   First of all, I'd be lying if I told you that you can do something
to "make" your guests have fun.  You can't.  If your guests have
their hearts set on pouting in the corner, there's nothing you can
do to stop them.

   But you CAN guarantee that YOU have a fun time.  And if you take
these actions, it all but guarantees that if your guests want to have
a good time, they WILL.

  It's time reveal some of my favorite ideas to make your wedding

unique and totally "you," so that your wedding is an unforgettable

experience for you and your guests.

    Why is this such a big deal?

   Well, I don't believe ANYBODY'S wedding should be "cookie-cutter."

Your wedding is YOUR day, and it should feel

like the right fit for your personalities from start to finish.

    What I realized after seeing hundreds of brides

on their wedding day, is that the thing that makes each wedding

unique is...YOU.

   Now, before you tell me how obvious that is, think about it.  What

is the one thing that is completely original and unique about your

wedding day, that no other wedding day has ever seen or done

before?

   YOU.

   Your guests have never been at party celebrating YOUR love and

relationship with your fiancé.  They've never seen YOU in that

gorgeous gown, walking down the aisle, partying on the dance floor.

   The secret to having a wedding that leaves a lasting impression on

your guests and really feels like "you" is weaving as much of your

personality as possible into your wedding day.

   Believe me, I've seen hundreds of weddings.  Including the details

of what makes you special and the things you love not only makes

you FEEL how special you are that day, it draws your guests in,

makes them feel connected to you, and without fail guarantees an

unforgettable day for you and your guests.

   And these things cost LITTLE OR NO MONEY.

   Some examples of how to do it...

Let’s face it: planning a wedding isn’t always a walk in the park.

Sure, it’s exciting and inspiring to check out all the details,

dresses, jewelry, exotic locations and honeymoon destinations.  But

there is a lot to do and everyone and their mother (and your mother)

seems to have an opinion about your day.

If you don’t watch out

for these common mistakes, you could end up with a wedding day

nightmare.  On the other hand, if you watch out for these mistakes,

having an unforgettable wedding day where everything runs smoothly and

you have the time of your life is almost guaranteed.

MISTAKE #1 – Having No Gap of Time Between Your Ceremony and Reception.

In life…and especially when it comes to planning a wedding…everything takes longer than you think.

If you have your ceremony and reception at the same location…

Or if you leave exactly enough time for the 8 minute drive between the church and the reception hall...

You will be stressed, miserable and end up with a wedding album where you are frowning on every page.

Do yourself a favor and allow MORE time than you think you will need

between the ceremony and reception.  Your guests are creative enough to

find something to do with themselves.

Use your wedding

professionals as the expert resources they are.  Ask them how long they

recommend for getting ready, receiving lines and photos.

craft, this also makes them a valuable source of information and

ensures that your wedding day goes smoothly.

7 Common Mistakes Brides Make That Lead to a Wedding Day DISASTER - Here's one for you to sample.

Let’s face it: planning a wedding is no walk in the park.  

Sure,

it’s exciting and inspiring to check out all the details, dresses,

jewelry, exotic locations and honeymoon destinations.  But there is a

lot to do and everyone and their mother (and your mother) seems to have an opinion about your day.

If

you don’t watch out for these common mistakes, you could end up with a

wedding day nightmare: a party where no one dances, wedding vendors who

don’t show up, even guests who cause a scene.

On

the other hand, as long as you watch out for these mistakes, having an

unforgettable wedding day where everything runs smoothly and you

actually get to have fun is almost guaranteed.

WARNING: Make these mistakes at your own risk!

Mistake #1 – Setting the Date FIRST.The

first thing many couples do when they get engaged, after they stop

jumping up and down with excitement and screaming it from the rooftops,

is set the date.  

This is a HUGE mistake.

It’s

kind of like deciding what town you want to move to before you even

visit, or before you check out the weather and job situation.

Setting the date before setting your budget or choosing your location can lead the following disaster scenarios:

end up accidentally choosing the most popular time of the year in your

area.  You can’t afford your dream location and the best wedding vendors

and services are already booked up, so you have to settle for the

leftovers.

don’t have the flexibility to take advantage of the deals that come up

which could have allowed you to afford your dream location.

might unknowingly pick a date during your town’s annual Lima Bean

Festival and find out that all the hotel rooms are booked up and your

out of town guests have no where to stay.

Of

course, you want to set the date as soon as you can.  Even if it’s just

so that you have something to answer your nosy friends when they ask!

But

it’s vitally important to figure out how much money you have to spend,

what parts of the wedding are most important to you and to do your

homework FIRST.  That way you’ll avoid a world of pain.
