For our second mini-episode of Put A Ring On It, we're talking about feeding your vendors. And we're specifically talking more about the highly controversial article recently seen (and since removed) on Brides.com, called “Which Vendors Do You Have to Feed at Your Wedding?”. It's a piece written by wedding planner, Sandy Malone, and it really gives some misleading information. We decided to talk through this article and give our own thoughts on the matter including WHO you should feed on your wedding day, WHY you should feed them and WHEN.
