Have fun with Favors

Theme them!

Pamper them!

Be Playful!

Favors are not the boring forgotten item anymore. Personalized labels are available for everything, soap, wine, water you name it it can be found. Homemade cookies upon arrival a big hit, say something personal like "Sweet of you to join us". Jars of Jam - " Spread the love". Just have fun and make it personal your guests will remember your effort.

Out of Towners

Who is in charge of the out of towners?

Well you and anyone you can recruit.

It is a crucial part of the event, make sure you know things about the area that they can do to be entertained as well as in case of an emergency information. It is great to collect some brochures from the area to have on hand or place in their rooms.

RSVP - This is a MOB job

This is a big job for a bride with too many things to think about. The MOB is ideal for this role. First, because she is paying for the number of guests she should have first hand knowledge of the response rate. Second, most of these people will be new to the MOB and it is a good way to start to learn names. I like the idea of a small space for comments from the quests on the RSVP card. This could lead to a scrap book or something to showcase the words of congratulations.

Save the date - Time line

Should you send out save the dates if you only have 150 days till the date?

Yes, NOW!

This will give all the out of towner's the info they need to secure travel and hotel. Make sure you mention to book the hotel NOW if you are going to a resort or a place with limited rooms.
