When it comes to your wedding and the mail…only trust yourself

I just got an apology message from one of my April brides. She found out that at least 90% of her “thank you” notes did NOT go out to family, friends, and wedding professionals.

At first my bride thought that the problem stemmed from using old rate stamps (rate increase). This bride had trusted an assistant to put her thank you notes into the mail and somehow the notes just never got to the box.

My bride is a very gracious person in the first place. I really did not over analyze not receiving back my evaluation (that I had mailed to them after her wedding). I know that brides are busy and the transition from being single to the married life gets hectic.

From a wedding stand point, expressing gratitude is important. So to save embarrasment, it would warrant a phone call to a few select family and friends after mailing your thank you notes…just to make sure they were received. Also, make sure that “you” are the person placing the cards in the mail box. This will reassure you that all of the time that you spent writing your thank you notes with your husband was not in vain or have to be redone.

So, trust yourself!! Happy planning.

For Style or For Comfort

Trend or not, I am unsure. This last weekend revealed a first for this long-time MC. The groom and groomsmen wore sneakers to the wedding. Now I am not talking about your b-ball or track type of tennis shoes. No these were black and white brand new, shiny type of sneakers.

Have guys taken comfort into their own hands on their wedding day? We shall see if the drift away from the pointy-toe or square to deluxe tuxedo shoes are a thing of the past.

These sharp shoes make for easy dancing and really even go with the tuxes. So we shall see what comes of the men's shoe role.

Guys, I would not suggest trying to plan on tennis shoes if you are holding your nuptials in a church or other formal setting. The pastor, priest, or rabbi might just hold up the ceremony.

Happy planning!!!
