Mother of the Bride

In the planning process, most usually everything falls on the shoulders of mom the day of the wedding. Up before anyone, trying to remember where everything is that everyone told you to remember, hoping that you did write down that vendor's phone number, and what was the person's name at the rental vendor that was supposed to make sure the tables, chairs, etc., all got loaded and delivered on time. Who will show up to help? What time am I supposed to be ready for pictures, where is my stuff, and where were the flowers going to be delivered. OK, let's face it. Mom is overworked, stressed and ready to kill a few vendors already and the day has not really begun yet. Her list is over the top. Is she really going to be able to sit down and laugh, cry and remember things, and help with those last few details before her role in her daughter's life changes forever. THAT is what mom should be doing. As a wedding planner, you see this scenario played out so many times. I, myself, have been in this same spot. I understand the value of what a coordinator can do for you. While I can certainly understand wanting to do it all yourself, as we all think that no one can do it as well as we can, you have to decide what the priority is and write that into the budget. It is money you will never regret spending. You have worked so hard for this day, you deserve to enjoy it too.

It's going to be a great year ...

So many new and exciting things that are being planned. I am hoping to be able to anticipate my bride's wishes and wants lists and be prepared for any request that any client makes. How do you think details get handled or paid attention to - great planning of course!
