From the moment you and your partner become engaged, you can be thrilled to let everyone know about your big life change. Because news so often travels through social media, you may assume that all you need to do is change your relationship status on Facebook to effectively let everyone know what is happening, but you may want to hold off on this switch. Your close friends and family members can rightly assume that they will hear the news from you before the public does – sharing with everyone in such a public way may leave people feeling hurt. You can also find that once the news is official, people expect wedding details. While you do not need to have everything in place, you should have enough planning done to follow up with save-the-dates or invitations relatively soon after sharing your engagement. (more…)

You can safely assume that guests, particularly close friends and family, will be excited for your wedding. With that said, you can also expect them to have questions about the upcoming event.

When you set up your wedding website, you can share information that is included on your invitations, and add further details that might be important.

If you are not properly prepared, they can also become more costly, or more time-consuming, than you anticipate. (more…)

Even the most organized couples can find wedding planning intimidating. In fact, even people who want to host a DIY wedding experience often have at least some professional help. By hiring talented wedding vendors, you can have an easier time seeing your wedding vision come to life. One reason people sometimes struggle to work with certain vendors is that they approach these professionals with the wrong attitude, or without the right information. You should be ready to articulate the specifics of what you need on your wedding day, and ready to fully discuss these matters with a vendor before you meet them in person. If you are trying to look for talented people to work your Texas Old Town wedding, you can be happy to learn that we actually provide a Preferred Vendors List to make your search easier. (more…)
