So now it's a bit of a waiting game for me. Which couples will want to hire me as their wedding planner? What will those couples be like?…

Wacky title, I know. But that’s what kept going through my head as I was watching the demo for Coaches Console, an online dashboard. Well, it actually seems better than that. I’d call it an online ‘wife’. You know, someone who looks out that you get things done and done on time! (no offense, guys, but you know what I mean)
Occasionally I’ll come across a post on one of the forums asking about the best wedding planner software. I guessed there would be many. Au contraire mon frere!…

While you may have dreamed as a girl, of arriving in a horse drawn carriage (okay, that's a bit extravagant- so, a white stretch limo), butterflies or doves released at your reception, a groom's cake, or little luxury favors for your guests to carry home, now that your wedding day is here, it's time to get real about where to spend your money.
First, begin by understanding clearly what's truly important about your day. You are affirming your commitment to each other and celebrating…

If you are getting married abroad, then the usual wedding preparation checklists will not be entirely appropriate for you. Not only do you have different things to organise, but you also have to do many things from a distance, and some things much further in advance than you would if you were getting married closer to home. Some things to consider are:
1. Paperwork and legal requirements
2. Guests - they will have to book time off work, buy tickets and reserve hotels, unless you…

A wedding is a major financial strain and to avoid problems it is wise to develop a budget. The buget is based on what the couple and other contributors can afford. Being practical and realistic will avoid the problem and embarassment of changing plans to cope with a shortage of funds-or going into debt to finance the affair. Also this reason alone provides the solution of having a wedding planner to micro-manage your pennies so that you don't have to be stressed on whats supposed to be one of…

Whenever budget comes up in weddings, you're most likely going to consider altering the time of year and time of day. You'll often get quotes of more than $40 savings per head if you go off-season or early in the day.
But what does this mean for the most important day of your life?? Are you willing to give up the beachside wedding for a wintery wonderland? This, of course, is something you'll have to think about. If you are able to embrace a change of theme, you could really make…

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle
We've all heard this phrase from the time we were in elementary school. Usually, it applies to our daily grind- trying to limit the amount of paper we use, rinsing out jars and using them for other things, and of course putting anything we possibly can into the recycling bin. So how does this apply to weddings?
Well, I should first admit that this has nothing to do with saving the planet-- but it does have to do with saving you and your family a ton…
