I have had the experience of planning and being invited as a guest as well. However, I usually have help with me so I am overseeing everything until my client is relaxed. I agree that you have to hire the right vendors that you know and staff that is helping to coordinate this day. I remember being a guest once and as I was sitting there, noticed a pin-spot shining in someone's face at their table.

I remember being a guest once and as I was sitting there, noticed a pin-spot shining in someone's face at their table. I got up from the table and had to argue with the Caterer to fix the pin-spot since his staff was the only one able to get up on a ladder at that time of the event. The floral designers were not around at this point. Needless to say, being a guest, is not always relaxing so my point is you can accept but always be on your toes. Keep smiling and making sure your client is very happy:) I think it depends on whether…tag:www.bridaltweet.com,2011-05-20:3145964:Comment:3458482011-05-20T18:08:38.353ZNora Tindonhttps://www.bridaltweet.com/profile/NoraTindon
I think it depends on whether she is doing day-of coordination, or if her job at that point is pretty much over. If she is going to still be running around coordinating everything, then she wouldn't have time to be a guest and it would be distracting. But if she has done all the planning leading up to the wedding day and you see her as a friend, you'll probably want to invite her. It's really your choice.

Our business wears many hats, we work with the happy couple while planning the wedding, we design the decor, we also setup and we manage the affair. So, yes, we do stay all night and usually are the last ones to leave. Thereby, insuring that not only OUR job is done correctly, but everyone else's is as well.

We are always invited by the couple as guests. It is not expected, nor would we have a problem if we were not. But, to date, it has never failed. We have tried to beg off, but usually the Bride ends up with tears in her eyes. We eat on the fly, because, yes, absolutely, there is no time to just sit and enjoy!! But we handle our business and the couple's feelings don't end up hurt in the process...hope this helps!! Same with me.

<p>Just a note: I am a weddingplanner not a bride who started this discussion and I appreciate all the replies I have received. Because it is clear to me that as a professional you have boundaries and limits. You are paid to do the job as many of you have said on this board and you can't be hanging around playing guest.</p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>

Many times the clients ask to send me an invitation but I always decline. I am hired to do a job and make sure everything runs smoothly. I do appreciate the offer but honestly feel bad sitting at a table eating a meal. Once I did a service for free to a friend and that's the only time I accepted an invitation for the meal.
