Cheerful Notes From The Staff at SweetEventsandPlanning.com

Dear Prospective Clients,
I hope to have the opportunity and pleasure of working with you. In my ten year experience in this industry I have learned that planning your event in advance is a key element to planning. This method would allow you to purchase your wedding supplies, stationary, and other essentials in advance and use discounted coupons when available.
1) When selecting your venue location, please be sure to ask a lot of questions and send the hotel director a recap letter/email of what you discussed. This way, the hotel is really clear of your expectations.
2) Selecting a menu for your brunch, luncheon, or evening wedding reception can be challegning. However, keep in mind that you may want something that is not featured on the menu. So, find out how creative the hotel’s chef or your catering service really is in terms of creativity or preparing a reception meal that is not listed on the hotel’s wedding reception menu.
3) Ask the hotel for a discounted group rate for your wedding guest parking if the reception venue parking is not free. In this effort, ask the hotel if the room rate quote can include a free parking pass for your guest if the hotel has a per night rate for parking. This way, your guest are not paying to park during your wedding weekend celebration.
4) If you have a parent or relative who bakes and make homemade goods/
sweets encourage them to bake some tasty treats for your wedding guest and have these treats wrapped at the front desk when your guest arrive along with a "thank you for traveling card". Or, you can create a "thank you for coming" goodie bags for all your guest.
Sweet Events and Planning can create these bags for you and your guest would love it.
5) Take advantage of After Winter/Summer/Annual Sales: If you already know what your wedding or event colors are going to be start purchasing ribbons, decor and other thems in advance while they are on sale. This will reduce cost and save the couple a lot of funds in your wedding budget. Be sure to select neutral colors that are transferable for any additional special events (bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, etc).
6) If you are going to use table chargers (silver or gold), the best time of the season to purcahse them is in the winter during the after holiday sales. If you purchase them in the winter you can use these items during your Spring wedding or other event celebrations.
