Add Mindy Weiss' New Wedding Planning Guide to Your Reading List, ASAP
12 Sep 2016 •1 min read
Collect, manage, and organize your wedding guest information for each event and track their preferences.
With over twenty years of experience and a long list of all-star clients (Ellen DeGeneres and Portia Rossi, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, and Russell Wilson and Ciara, to name a few...), pro party planner Mindy Weiss is in high demand. And while it may be a bit tough to book her for your big day, it turns out you don't need celeb status to snag some of her best advice.
Yes, Weiss just released The Wedding Book, a revised and updated guide that's about to save your "I dos." It's your fashion consultant, etiquette expert, menu planner, floral designer, and shoulder to lean on for advice should a sticky family situation turn up.
Want a sneak peek at the game-changing guide? Here are some of Weiss' best budget-stretching tips:
1. Move the wedding from Saturday to Sunday; if you need to bring down the price even more, move it to a weekday. Vendors lower their fees for days that are less in demand.
2. Eliminate the champagne toast. Most of the bubbly will be thrown out anyway. Have guests toast with whatever they’re drinking at the time.
3. Instead of a band, hire a DJ or have a friend create a playlist.
4. Opt for an inexpensive printing method on your invitations. You can get a great effect from offset printing, for a fraction of the price of letterpress or engraving.
5. Skip favors. Write a personal note instead. Now, was that so hard? I didn’t think so. Your budget is not only a way to keep your spending in check, but it’s also a handy organizational tool that can help remind you of what’s left to be done. But you won’t be able to get a sense of how things stack up until you’ve solidified the two most important elements of your wedding: the date and location.
Whatever the subject — cakes, stationery, video (including drones!), tents, insurance, port-a-potties, party favors, the toasts, tipping, thank-you notes — The Wedding Book has all the answers. So what are you waiting for, brides and grooms? Grab your copy of The Wedding Guide, ASAP!
