6 ways to tell that the bride needs a break from wedding planning

The Quiet Period of wedding planning is an interesting time. Characterized by the bride’s lack of enthusiasm for continuing wedding planning, the wedding planning quiet period occurs just after all major vendors have been secured and before the nitty-gritty details come into play.

So how do you know, other than timing, that you’ve hit the wedding planning quiet period? This morning, I stumbled on a blog post by Deborah Shane that perfectly summarized 6 symptoms leading to the Quiet Period. They are:

  1. Complacency. You put in a hell of a lot of effort into securing your vendors and now you feel a lack of urgency to go forward.
  2. Boredom. You don’t know why, but all of a sudden you think your wedding is a snoozer.
  3. Lack of energy. If you feel completely exhausted by the mere thought of planning more than you have already.
  4. Procrastination. It becomes less fun, so you put it off to the last minute. Although risky, this is a pretty common human trait.

3 ways to take more photos at your wedding

Former brides re-live their wedding by looking at the pictures that where taken on the day they got married. Future brides recognize that their photos will help them to recall the memories and will sink thousands of dollars into photographers. That’s right, photographers…plural, not singular. But not every bride is rolling in the dough and those broke-@$$ brides need to be more creative than the affluent ones.

Business-savvy brides are resourceful and get creative in a way that captures the most value for the bridal budget. Typically, this means finding multiple ways to justify the added costs associated with adding a vendor.

Here are three options a bride has in place of hiring a second photographer that adds incredible value to the entire day:

1. Rent a photobooth

Although many of us recall the days of yonder where we climbed into a photobooth with our friends or first crushes at the movies, photobooths turn out to be a huge hit at weddings. Photobooth vendors, like NY Digital Memories, offer not only a fun way to capture images, but will also create a nifty guest book for the bride and groom to take home after.

The best part about photobooths is that you can kill multiple birds with one stone – use the photobooth keepsake book as your guest book, allow the guests to take home their images in a photo frame as favors, and also use the photo frame as your seating cards. Every business-savvy bride loves multiple purposes for one purchase.

How Dare They!! What To Do When Other Events Overshadow Your Wedding Day

Your wedding is the center of the world, right? I mean, those 200 guests must be squarely focused on you on your big day, right? After all, you’ve put year(s) of work into planning and it’s supposed to the biggest event of your life.

Yes, your wedding day may be the biggest event of your life. But beyond your world and the 200 guests that may be attending, there’s a whole wide world out there that has a lot going on. Take, for instance, Annie Owens, who’s Kentucky-inspired wedding day ended up on the same day as the NCAA Basketball Championship Final Four match-up. Or how about a Jay Z concert overshadowing your picturesque background? Just think of those poor brides who thought they would be princess for a day, only to be overshadowed by Kate Middleton’s globally covered nuptials? Or can it get even bigger with a NATO summit shutting down the city where your getting married?

Rest assure, weary bride, that if this happens to you, it is not fate picking on you. In fact, as you can see by the news articles I referenced above, it is a more common occurance than one would think. So what’s a bride to do?

There are a few things a bride must do when the world presents you with an obstacle like this:

1. Get Grounded. Yes, things may not be going as planned but it is not the end of the world. At the end of this party, you will still be a wife, with a husband, with a whole life of marriage ahead of you. Remember, its just one day and you will be OK. So rub your ears a little and repeat after me, “Wooooo-sah!”

Bridal Wit Part I of II 3 Reasons Why Family, Friends, Vendors Help (or Don’t Help) You

3 Reasons Why Family, Friends
One business school course taught me more about people and life than any other one I’ve taken – Information & Technology Strategies. Despite the fact that this course has a tedious title, it was fun and applicable. In particular, I’ve applied two crucial frameworks from this course to my wedding planning escapades. Today, I will discuss the first framework – the concept of motivating factors. When someone takes action, it is for one of three reasons:
  1. Love
  2. Money
  3. Glory

Love. When an individual is able to express themself, practice his or her art, or connect more with a certain person, the individual is acting out of love. As an example, my fiance’s Aunt Dayna, a talented calligrapher, has offered her invitation making service to us. No doubt she offered because she wants to connect with us, but also because she loves to practice her craft. See some of her brilliant work by clicking here.
