Wedding Tips day 6

Bridal shows are amazing time to meet and greet some vendors.

I highly recommend them. You can find what you like, what you don't. The most important is meeting the vendors and seeing if their personality and budget fits yours.

Its VERY IMPORTANT to discuss with them.

It has nearly every bridal shows. Some cost money, but most are free. Check them out, take your time and search.

Vendors fill up quick so call sooner than later.

Wedding Tips

Some thoughts from married people after their wedding was all said and done:

From the Wigton's
-save the date by email instead of cards
-do it in the off-season, ask for half off
-buy a used dress and sell it later, you'll honestly probably never wear it again and your daughter won't want a 30y.o. dress due to fashion changes

From the Saunder's
-Something one of my family members did was instead of having a gift registry, you could pitch in for the cost of the honeymoon. It's a great idea for couples who get married later in life and have all the housewares already.

-Ask the caterer to throw things in for free. We got our wedding cake and an ice sculpture thrown in for free!

-Pick a few things that you really care about, and delegate the rest of the tasks.

-Laugh about everything and have fun, because in the long run it's the marriage that counts and not the wedding day.

The Thomas's
I just used my old suit.
I printed the wedding cards at kinkos!
I made my own "favors" (family helped out by; candy from sams club and mesh and tie from Michaels)
When I went for my honeymoon I went to a closeby resort
