Most brides take great care when giving out directions to the venue but what happens when roads are closed other unseen circumstances affect the travel directions. Fires, floods, storms, and equipment failure can close a banquet hall at the last minute.
A good address list will come in handy for mailing update cards but you can not assume everyone will get the update.
In some cases emails and phone calls to close friends and family can help to notify the guests. A phone call or email to as many guests as possible will help to avoid embarrassing mix-ups.
Handouts can be printed and left at the preferred motels so that last minute guests will be aware of the changes.
Signs from the ceremony to the reception can help and make sure they are large enough and placed where they can be easily seen.
Lastly make sure that limousine and other transportation drivers are aware of any changes. A bus load of missing guests can throw the timetable off causing delays.
The new year is in full swing and we have been thinking about what new favors we could offer for 2011.
Since we make the favors we sell it can sometimes be a challenge to come up with new designs. After all it is not as easy as picking up the phone and calling China. ie… Hello China? Please send us a boat load of your plastic junk so we can sell it for wedding favors.
We want to keep the theme wind chimes and ornaments but we want to come up with some new popular designs while keeping the themes centered around natural motif’s.
We thought about some flower designs, some more seaside designs and some charity based designs where we donate a certain amount of money for a cause. For example, pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness. Some of these designs may be a challenge for personalization but we can always offer our personalized cards as with the ornaments we currently offer.
We decided to have a little fun and make a video.
Hope you like it and remember, the customer is always right!
