Kiss and Tell Weddings

 Welcome Bags for Guests Many guests that attend weddings come from afar. They either have to fly long distances or drive long distances. A one of the ways that you can show your love and appreciation for attending your event is to provide Guest Bags for them! Guest Bags are really easy to create and can range in price from $15 to $100 depending on contents. If your guests will be staying at a hotel, you can Guest Bags delivered to their rooms to be there when they arrive. You can check to see if this is a service that your wedding planner provides or you can have a family member deliver them for you. The Guest Bags can be as simple or extravagant as you like. Items can range from a card and savory chocolates to tickets to a professional sporting event or theater or musical. Just make sure that you include Guest Bags in your overall budget! Below you will find some useful items that you may want to include in your bags! Welcome and thank you note Event information  – Gues...

You're engaged! Now What???? First, tell your family. You do not want them to find out on social media or from your friends. If you have your ring, go ahead and insure it. Your ring was a BIG investment! Treat it as such!! Insurance will replace your ring if lost or stolen.   Photos!!! No, I'm not talking about selfies!! LOL! Have a quick engagement photo session. Take some and give to family and friends or order just a few for you, him, and the parents.  Think about your guest list. Determining the number of guests will help with venue selection and budget. The more guest, the bigger the venue. The more guest, the bigger the budget.  Choose your wedding date range. I say 'range' just in case the exact date that you want may not be available at the exact venue that you want.  Set your budget. Decide who will pay for what. Start saving. Select your venue options. Do you want your ceremony and reception at the same place? Do you want a d...

Hello Newly Engaged!!! I asked some Brides-to-Be that if they had any wedding related questions to send them to me. Below are the questions SheQueita had. Hopefully, they will answer some questions that have been on your mind. If not, give me a call! SheQueita: "We both have huge families!! Who do we invite and who do we leave out? We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings." KTW: Great question SheQueita!!! First, start with both of your master lists...everyone that you think you should invite, want to invite, and will definitely invite. Second, assign each name to either category A or B. "A" are must-invites (family, BFFs, etc). "B" is everyone who is not an "A". Third, take a close look at category "B" guests. When was the last time you spoke to them? How close are you? If they did not attend your wedding would it upset your day? Asking yourself these questions will help you trim your guest list. verysmartbro...

Great Money Saving Tips from the Nebraska Wedding Guide General Savings: Create a comparison chart to track what’s included in venue prices you’re quoted. Some places claim to include everything but leave out something you need. Determine your budget and prioritize. A rule of thumb: food, beverage and venue should be about half of your budget. Many public spaces available for small rental fees, but must be equipped to handle a big event. You could blow your budget on rental items. Book one location for your ceremony and reception. You won’t have to pay multiple site fees, plus there’s no need for transportation between each one. Belong to an organization? You may have access to your group’s venue. Many colleges offer beautiful, reasonable priced spots for students and alumni to tie the knot. Find out if this is a viable option for your event. Most places charge a premium for Saturday night. Try an afternoon wedding or a Friday or Sunday-night event. ...
