When to Call a Friend
Designing wedding stationery might not be an area where a couple wants too many opinions, since this part of planning can specifically reflect their personality. However once the design is selected, it is wise to call on a few individuals to help proofread. The more eyes on the stationery the better, to help catch typos, misspellings or inaccurate information. After being so close to the creation of the stationery, having fresh eyes is really helpful.
Couples might want to enlist the help of family and friends to compile the mailing address list. Collecting a mailing list can be a challenge, so having several people to reach out to guests to confirm their most up-to-date address makes this task easier.
One of the most dreaded planning tasks is assigning seats for the reception. There are so many details to consider when placing guests at each table. There are the people who need to sit together, the people who can’t sit together, the people who don’t know anyone, the kids’ table, the vendor table… so many different dynamics to consider. To maintain peace among the guests, it is wise to bring in some trustworthy people who can spot trouble within the groupings.
