For instance, I probably had about 50 people at my shower. (I didn't know most of the ladies, but who is to say no to a party that someone…

It is always a bride's biggest fear. What if one of my vendors don't show up? You can generally get a feeling of reliable vendors before you book them, but the control freak in you may be freaking out. Especially if it is one of those DJs that don't do contracts. Today I want to focus on a back-up plan for a DJ who is MIA.
The Pickle: The DJ cannot make…

If you are opting for a buffet for your reception, you better be talking with the caterer about how much food will be provided. If the food is running low towards the end of the reception, good.
