Bribing the Bride: What do you bring to your Initial Consultation?

We all know that a first impression is a lasting one and we want to be professional, yet personable. I've heard stories from a small bundle of flowers to boxed candy or a small keepsake. Do you think its okay to bring gifts or should there be boundaries?

I'm interested to hear what our seasoned planners say about this.

I agree. I read someone's blog recently and she mentioned how she greeted her bride to be with a bouquet of flowers.

I don't think that bringing a bouquet of flowers is a bribe...that to me is an awful nice gesture!

I bring a split of champagne with my personalized ribbon to my initial consultation with a bride & groom and all my clients seem to love the special touch.
