17 year old needs help planning wedding?

Posted on December 25th, 2010 by admin

Before you start critisizing my desicision. I have a son with this man and we are in love and we want to do the right thing and get married. We are getting married in May, I will be 18 then. I need help with the planning. Just some one to talk to on a messenger to get opinions and advice from. anyone willing to help? Just IM me.

Considering that you can’t even spell criticizing, I would suggest that you actually attempt to gain an education. It’s unfortunate that you are 17 and already have a child. We need fewer people who contribute next-to-nothing in the world, not more. This is why I hate our tax system; my hard-earned money should not be going to pay for your welfare either now or in a few years.

Planning wedding reception, how to estimate size room to book before you know how many guests will attend?

Posted on December 24th, 2010 by admin

We booked a room that accommodates 120 people max on the assumption that many relatives from across the country would not be able to attend. Turns out many of them are actually coming, and we’ve run out of space at the reception. How could we have planned this better? Book a larger room to play it safe? But then you’re committing to extra expense that may not be necessary…

When you spoke to your venue you should have told them how many guests you were inviting and how many you expected, if they are good they would have been able to put you in a room that will hold everyone if you got 100% yes replies, but not look sparse if not filled to capacity. Most of the time they have guaranteed minimums on the rooms and that should be around the estimated number you expect to come, so when you sign your contract you are only promising and responsible the amount you expect.

Its too late now though, it will be a tight squeeze, but I’m sure it will be fine. I would also recommend talking to your venue, if they dont have another event book in a larger room they probably wouldnt have a problem moving you guys over to the bigger room.

Good luck

Would it be good idea to start a business Planning wedding receptions not the weddings but the receptions?

And also retirement parties…….We don`t really want to do the weddings just the reception like contract different caterers and bands etc.

This is not new. These businesses already exist. If you want to have such a business, then know you have competition. A business will survive or die depending on how well it is run, advertised, managed, if there is a need for it, etc.

Is there an event planning (wedding planners) course at Trent University?

Posted on April 29th, 2010 by admin

I want to become a Wedding Planner, and a few years ago while googling what schools I wanted to go to, I found out that Trent University (in Peterborough, ON Canada) has (or had) an event planners course where you graduate with a bridals degree. Is this still there!? The website is very, VERY confusing =[
please help me!

As a wedding planner, you should learn as much as possible about all the details that go into weddings. Gaining skills in the 6 areas below will enhance your ability to help your brides and grooms have the weddings they want. You don’t have to be an expert in these areas but knowing the basics will help you speak intelligently with vendors and increase your value in the eyes of your clients.

Here are the 6 skills:

1) Cake Design and Baking

It takes a lot of expertise to design, bake, fill, frost, decorate and assemble wedding cakes. Taking classes in cake decorating will help you learn some of the basics so you can get an idea of the work it takes to create a wedding cake for hundreds of guests. You’ll also understand why designers and bakers charge what they do. You can find classes in community colleges, adult education programs, and large craft stores.

2) Floral Design

Acquire skills in floral design by taking classes that will give you knowledge and experience in handing and arranging flowers. You should also learn the different types of flowers, when they are in season and their colors and textures so you can help brides make choices that fit within their budgets. Taking classes will also teach you trends in floral design and how florists price their bouquets and arrangements. Florists sometimes run classes in their shops or in community colleges and adult education programs.

3) Food and Beverage Selection

Learn about food, beverage and catering so you have information on different types of food service, selecting menus for large numbers of guests, and selecting complementary beverages. Classes can be found at culinary academies or are part of culinary, restaurant, hotel or hospitality programs at community colleges.

4) Interior Design

Develop skills in interior design by taking classes that will teach you about color, space, style, textures, lighting and use of fabric. This will be helpful to you when working with vendors and the bride and groom to design the reception space, select the right linens and china, and properly light the room for the mood the couple wants to create. Community and art colleges have courses in interior design.

5) Sewing

It helps to know how to quickly fix last-minute rips and tears repair dropped hems. It would also be good to know how much a dress can be altered or customized if you help a bride select her wedding gown. You can usually pick up this skill from sewing classes at fabric shops or in adult education programs.

6) Wardrobe and Image Consulting

Brides, grooms, and their attendants and families may come to you for help in selecting the proper wedding day attire. You should have some basic knowledge of styles, shapes, and colors that enhance different body types. Fashion design and consultant programs in community and art colleges often have wardrobe and image consulting classes.

can i get a loan against stocks i owe?, im planning wedding, would hate to sell stock on uptrend?

Posted on April 28th, 2010 by admin

can i get a loan against stocks i owe?, im planning wedding, would hate to sell stock on uptrend, or say i have stocks not doing so well now.. which will rebound in a year or so. Thanks

I think you answered your own question.Would you loan money on stock(any stock)that has the potential to bottom out completely.Stock could be $50 today,next week it could be $5(and never recover).Not only have you borrowed,you’ve lost the potential to pay it back(you lost your capital)!
Not only do you need a wedding planner,you also need a financial one as well.
