Wedding Planning Tips

My life right now has been turned upside down. I know I’ll get some people telling me to stop complaining but I feel like I need someone who doesn’t know me to give me their perspective on what I should do. So here we go….
I’m in college and I should be interning this year, but due to 1 failed test, I had to push it back and take this semester off. My fiance and I had it planned to get married this summer and still plan on doing so. We already have the place reserved and everything. However, he had to move to Colorado for his job while I’m stuck in Alabama looking for (and failing at finding) and minimum wage job to just stay afloat. My fiance can’t afford to pay for 2 places and my mother won’t help me pay for a place while I’m not living in her home. It’s my fault for failing that test, so I have to deal with the consequences on my own for this semester.
While I need to stay here to work on wedding plans and mandatory internship meetings, there are no jobs. My mother is also adamant about me not moving across the country until I graduate. Also I’m depressed for not being around my fiance and living in a place that I can’t afford rent for. In Colorado with my fiance, there are a plethora of jobs, my fiance, my cats (dumb but I miss them… alot), and basically happiness.
So I’m asking… what do I do? I would be so much happier in Colorado, but I need to be in Alabama. I can’t sleep in bed because it’s so big and empty unless I go in exhausted from staying up until the insane hours of the morning (it’s 4:30 am right now… it’s at least another hour until I’m somewhat sleepy). I hardly eat and I fake being happy around friends. I’m completely depressed. What should I do?

A question for recent brides and their mothers:
I own a wedding venue, and my brides always have major problems knowing how many guests will attend. The last bride sent 100 invitations, had 35 RSVPs, and 200 attended. They can’t plan for food, beverages, or table arrangements because they don’t know how many will show up. Short of calling all the invited guests and saying “Are you coming or not?”, how did you handle this situation at your wedding.
I can understand a few people forgetting or their reply being lost in the mail, but this is a huge problem. (I’ve have suggested they say “reception location provided with RSVP”, but no one has taken me up on that idea.)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

My sister recently got engaged and will be getting married in a year and a half. She can’t think of a way to get to her wedding. She doesn’t want a car or a horse and carriage as her fiancee is a fireman so him and his groomsman are arriving in two old fashioned fire trucks. So she wants something for all of her bridesmaids (and my dad/mum) can arrive in that would be really be a site for the guests!
She likes the thought of a hellicopter but is unsure due to price and my mum suggested an old fashioned bus which I liked but my sister isn’t too fond of it!
Any ideas?

This is a serious question. I don’t want any “you can’t”s. Please give me advice if you know of a good way. I’m trying to plan a wedding and attend college at the same time. The wedding dress I want to go with is $600, but with my upcoming paycheck and other income, I should be set for this coming semester’s tuition, except that I need to pay for the dress this week because my wedding is only a few months away and they need time to do alterations. So if I dip into my college money I need a way to get money back in a month’s time for tuition. Even if I can’t earn $600 in a month, is there anyway I can make a little bit of money?

I started my own event planning Company in Illinois I am looking forward to building my clients, I also do centerpieces, wedding and party favors, backdrops. I believe you don’t have to break the bank to have a successful elegant event. Still building my website but you can go to www.DivineAppeal.yolasite.com”

I recently set up my own event business ‘Platinum Events’ after planning and organising various events like concerts, banquets, parties and a wedding.
My dilemma now is advertising is expensive but it must be done. So I need help in picking the best places and ways to advertise, especially to brides to be. Please help me.
Plus if you know anyone who needs our services or if you do. Please let me know it would be very helpful.

It is understandable that you only want the best for your wedding and this is why you are very meticulous when it comes to wedding planning. Times are hard and you never know what is going to happen with the country’s economy in the future. What has this got to do with your special day? With this thought in mind, you should actually be thinking of ways on how to cut down on your expenses as you go about the planning phase. You are going to start your own family after your wedding and it is only practical to think about those years as you create your plans.

If you already have a checklist of what you want to happen and the things you need to acquire for your wedding, look at it again and see if there are ways on how you can lower the total expenses. Here are some tips that you can think about as you go about this quest.

1. Allot time on focusing on the things that you have to deal with when it comes to the event. If you can go and visit certain places yourself, then do it. If you are thinking of hiring a wedding coordinator, you must first think about their tasks. Yes, things are going to be a lot easier on your part if there is someone who is managing everything for you and your only job is to approve or reject their choices. But if you have time on your hands, you might as well use a little exercise to proceed on these tasks on your own. You can search for the right church, venue, providers of the materials that you will need on the wedding among other things.

This may sound like a lot of hard work, but this is going to be a special event. It will be more memorable if you are going to manage things on your own. By personally attending to your needs, you will have an idea of how else can you save in the process. Your guests do not have to know that you are on a tight budget. As long as you can provide them with good food and good fun, they won’t notice that you did not serve desserts during the event. They will be there for you not for the food or anything else, but to see you finally marry the person whom you want to spend the rest of your life with.

2. Scout for various providers of the different materials and other things that you will need during the event. This can be accomplished online. There are many websites that contain database of different providers of what you are looking for. By browsing at these sites, you will have an idea of how certain packages would cost and you will be able to compare the given prices of the different stores and service providers.

3. Ask your friends who have been into this kind of preparation for tips and advices about how you can save. If you have limited friends who have experienced this kind of event, you can go online and participate on public forums that tackle this subject.

By saving up more money during the wedding planning, you will feel good about what you have accomplished.
