okay. im 12 years old, for starters, so keep in mind that my parents also have to agree to my plans.
anyway, i live in a somewhat jewish area, and bat/bar mitzvahs are common. the invites usually get sent out 2 months in advance, sort of like a wedding. most of the mitzvahs i go to are for aqcuantances, or people i have a few classes with. but this week is for one of my really close friends. weve never actually ‘hung out’, but we did share a cabin on the 3-day school trip and i would love to get to know her better. plus, we have some mutual friends that are going to be there that i havent seen in a loooong time, so that would be great to.
now to the sticky part.
last week, our really close family friends from england came back to our area to visit. (we havent seen them for 5 years) just earlier today we had a quick visit with them for like an hour when they told us they were trhowing a surprise party for their dad and were inviting us and another couple. its the same night as the bat mitzvah. its not the only time icould see them, though;there here till the sixteenth. it just seems fun. so im really torn as to go with my newer friend and see my close friend the next week, or spend more time with my close friend and just tell the other girl we can go see a movie or something?
thank you so much in advance!
Of course the ceremony is first, but after that… how do these go?
Cutting of the cake
speeches/toasts
first dance
father/daughter dance
eating (dinner)
tossing bouquet/garter
How long does the DJ play music for, and how long do the guests usually dance for? Should the DJ play music throughout the whole entire night after the ceremony?
Also, for an outdoor wedding where the ceremony and the reception will be on the same property, how does it work after the ceremony? Obviously there’s no bride & groom “entrance/announcement” since we will all already be there, right? I’m just trying to plan an outdoor fall wedding and I am clueless as to order of events, and timing.
If you were never close with your family and are more independent and you live with them (it was agreed up until you finish post-secondary and get a job) your family never does big dinners etc and when they do go out, they invite you but you say “no thanks” is that rude? Because I’ve been to a family invite – one wedding and I didn’t like it at all. The whole place was loud and ostentatious I went to make my aunt happy. but other than that I do not attend family events, I’m not close with them and im fine with that. For a reason, they are planning a big dinner and a party and invited me as I am family and I declined. They asked “Why?” I replied “I want to be at home and read” Which is too. These events aren’t my thing.
Is that rude? I’m not close with them and I’m okay with that. I have a business-like relationship with my family. They seem to be bothered by it now than ever for some reason. I’m not rude when I decline I say it as nicely as I can but my mother gets upset. It’s just my personality I never go to family events ever since I was little I never like the loudness and the huge scene.
A lot of UK uni courses on events management include modules such as sports event management or music events, and since I want to go into special events planning, I was wondering whether there were any undergraduate courses that include a module on it?
How To Get Into Events Management?
Tagged Under : EVENTS, into, Management
Afer completing my as-levels i decided that the path my subjects were leading me towards weren’t suited to my personality and i figured i should take my as levels again with more events-related sujects. Then the big news about fees hit. I dont think theres a pointin me paying 6,000+ a year to take a degree in events management at a uni that isnt in the top 50.
I’m currently taking a diploma in events management and for my age (18) i have a lot of experience in event planning.
Question 1: If you are a events manager/planner/organiser…do you have a degree? How did you get into your job?
Question 2: After taking my course and gaining at least 1 1/2 yearsmore experience do you think i would be employable as a events assisstant?
I want to get into wedding planning or charity fundraiser events
My friend believes you should reimburse them for how much they’ve spent on the wedding. Example, if they spend $80/plate, then you give them $80 per person in your family. She had several wedding parties leading up to her wedding (shower, engagement party, pre-wedding party, wedding, separate reception), it sort of a traditional custom to have that many parties in our culture. But anyways, she said if people aren’t planning on paying me back for what I spent, then they just should have the curtousy not to come. I told her, sometimes people can’t afford it so I disagree with you (because I was under the category of someone who didn’t pay “enough”, and frankly she has very expensive taste)
So what do you think?
How Would I Become An Events Organiser?
Tagged Under : Become, EVENTS, Organiser, would
I am thinking about future careers for myself when I graduate from university. I have done a science degree but now have decided that I want to become an events organiser or a wedding planner.
I was wandering if I would have to go back to university to study events management or do some companies take on people that are not experienced in that area and train them up?
Thank you for any help!
I have recognized the painful effects alcohol has had on my life more times than I can count. Today, April 20, 2011 I have finally decided to take a stand agaist liquor and not allow it to have control over my life anymore. I fear so greatly the situations I will be faced with that will have me under pressure to drink. Such as weddings, going out for drinks with business associates/my boyfriend, being unable to go clubbing or give a toast, even enjoy a glass of wine at Christmas. I can’t help but feel like I will be an outcast, though I would like to make it clear that I am NOT allowing these circumstances to give me second thoughts about quitting I would just like some advice from others who have rid themselves of the demons in the bottle.
How do you deal with these circumstances?
Are there any women who were brides that did not drink champagne at their wedding? What did you drink instead?
Thank you.
I was watching the news and I found out that the British royalty is planning their wedding this week. Then they showed this website where all this royal stuff was being sold. Royal pens, royal chocolates, royal glue on nails, and royal condoms.
CONDOMS?
Really? What the heck is so royal about condoms?
Hahahaha.
The butler would be like knocking on the door at the wedding night and be like
*British accent* “Your highness, the royal condoms are here.”
