MYTH 1 – IT’S MY DAY!
We spend a lot of time talking about how special the wedding
day is but remembering to put it in perspective is important. Most brides are sensible and know that just
because they are being married on one day, the world does not stop spinning on
its axis. The goal
is to provide balance to the event and subtle reminders that life goes on can
help stop some bad behavior that we occasionally see. Bridezillas need to be carefully grounded in
the reality that life does not stop for the rest of the planet.
MYTH 2 – IT COSTS A LOT OF $$ TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING
Absolutely not! A
beautiful wedding depends on the love of the couple and their families and does
not depend on the amount of money they spent.
Beautiful weddings happen at all price ranges.
MYTH 3 – THE WEDDING INDUSTRY IS FULL OF “PROS” OUT TO CHEAT
YOU
While there may be an occasional store that makes the news
or a florist, photographer or caterer that fails to follow through, they are
vastly outnumbered by reputable, experienced professionals whose livelihood
depends on their sterling reputation for honesty, integrity and
reliability. Check out the reputation of
a vendor under consideration. Before a
particular vendor or service is booked, ask for references.
MYTH 4 – WE HAVE A YEAR TO GET OUT OUR THANK YOU NOTES
Whoever started that myth was dreaming. The rule on thank you notes is simple – write
them ASAP. Keep up with them throughout
the period of showers, parties, gifts sent to the bride’s home. If a guest has thought enough to send a gift to
celebrate the wedding, he or she deserves a thoughtful response which expresses
timely and sincere thanks. If there is a
legitimate reason for a delay in writing personal thank you notes, then gift
acknowledgment cards are to be sent immediately and followed up by a personal
thank you at a somewhat later date – but NEVER A YEAR.
