My advice is to not be cheap and NEVER expect people, regardless of your relationship or their level of service/skill, to spend 6+ hours of their day (forget prep & finalization) with no compensation.

Your wedding budget needs to include pay for EVERYTHING wedding related.

When you are talking to family and friends, have that conversation about "this is my budget, can you work with it?"
If they won't, then you meet their price or you move on. Failure to do either of these is highly disrespectful, especially when they do this for a living.

IF they offer services as a gift *key phrase : they offer services as a gift* you should still give a tip/gift card & a handwritten thank you note as well as a good review on their socials if they have a business (Do Not ever mention price or discounts in your review)

Should we come to your place of employment and ask for free services/products because we know you?

Dear Universe,
I love love love being a wedding planner.
I also love being an officiant and I am asking you to send more weddings my way.
However, I need you to understand that I don't want only traditional locations.
I am humbly asking, (ok really begging) to do elopements at places like this.
It is is on my wishlist to do a ceremony right here, this spot in Busch Gardens during Christmas Towne. It is so magical, so beautiful, so peaceful back here.
I NEED to do a ceremony or two here in the next year. There's still time to make this happen this year 😉

Love this so much.

A teacher's wedding has gained massive attention online thanks to adorable centerpieces featuring sweet and funny notes written by the groom's fourth grade students.

Lindsey Monte, a bridesmaid and cousin of the bride, shared photos of the centerpieces from Halle Strieter and Thomas Randles' wedding.

The centerpieces displayed the students' responses to two questions: "What is love?" and "Why do people get married?"

Among the answers: "When you look at a person and your heart goes fast and you're in love" and "So they can get smoochey smoochey with each other."

Don't be this person.
If you have friends like this, talk to them.

Quit showing how much you undervalue everyone who does a service for your wedding, or any event for that matter.

It takes time to order or shop for the supplies
*note that small businesses actually go IN PERSON to buy supplies to get the best available*
and it takes time to prepare the food. Then the added cost of the vessels to serve it in & with. Someone needs to be paid for their time.

Listen..there is no way in this age of technology that anyone does not know hurricane season in FL is June 1-Nov 30 and the busiest time is end of August to mid-Oct.
If you are going to book your honeymoon or vacation here, get travel insurance and be vigilant about the weather so you are not asking stupid questions in the middle of the night DURING a hurricane 🌀 about your trip that starts in 3 days.
🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Wait. Date. Date yourself. Explore the world and your interests.

I'm definitely seeing a trend of 18-22 year olds getting married and I just want to plead with them to wait.
I don't believe you even know yourself at that age.
