Words of the Wedding Wise: Fall 2011
Within each issue of EA Bride, I share a tidbit of information from the inside of the industry. A little advice from me to you. The section of the magazine is called "Words of the Wedding Wise". My advise for the Fall 2011 issue is this:
"Do you have a lot of out-of-town guests fly in to Kansas City for your wedding? Chat with your venue manager to see if it would be possible to negotiate rates with nearby hotels. Pass this discount on to your guests along with a map from their hotel to all wedding activities. Make your guests fell even more special by having your caterer prepare and place Welcome Baskets in each hotel room before arrival."

Have Some Cake!
I have seen very immaculate fondant cakes, but in my opinion, butter-cream frosting is always a little yummier! Here are some delectable butter-cream cakes from the past few years.

Customize Your Coat Check Tags
As I glanced outside this morning, I found light flurries floating around the sky. Time always slips away through the summer and it is now time to bundle up for winter weather.
As you prepare for your winter event, make sure that you have a system set in place for your guest's coats. Failing to do so will result in coats falling off chairs and tables only to be tripped and stepped on. Hiring a coat check attendant is well worth the expense as your guests will not have to keep track of their winter-wear throughout the evening. If the venue does not already have a procedure for coat storage put in place, make sure that you discuss your options with them prior to the evening of the event.
You can also look at this as an opportunity to provide your guests with a favor from your event. An online company, Pilgrim Plastics allows you to customize your coat check tags. You may choose to use the monogram or color scheme from your special event with a quirky quote or message from you at the bottom. The design opportunities are endless. Once you have finalized the design, Pilgrim Plastics will print two cards for each number, allowing the coat attendant to put one tag on the coat and provide your guest with the second card. Each card has a hole punch at the top, so your guest can easily put it on their key ring to find it later. As your guest is leaving, they show the attendant their number to retrieve their coat and then take their card as a memento.
This is not only a unique way to incorporate your theme throughout the evening, it is also very inexpensive. Pilgrim Plastics offers pricing by the 100's and decreases the flat rate as you order more. To begin designing your coat tag visit Pilgrim Plastics website today.
