KEEPING YOUR GUESTS HAPPY

There's so much information on the web, it's easy for the gems to be overlooked.

So today, I'm going to use my blog entry to refer to one of my favorite on-line wedding advice articles. It's from Washingtonian Magazine's wedding guide and it's titled "How To Keep Wedding Guests Happy."

What I like about this article is that it focuses on small things that can make a big difference in your guests' enjoyment.

Wedding planning is bride-centric -- focused on pleasing the bride. Which makes sense -- after all, it's HER special day. Next in line is the groom. And the parents of the bride and groom, who may have strong views about things, and who are often footing the bill.

But it's my observation that at the end of day -- as the reception draws to a close -- the bride and groom will be MOST happy if their GUESTS had a great time. When planning their wedding celebration, the wise bride and groom (and their parents) will consider the guests' perspective -- putting themselves in the guests' shoes.

The result will be a truly fun event for all -- and an event full of wonderful, happy memories for the bride and groom.
