Donnie's Tips & Tricks

It's All About the Money

Research what is a good per-person budget for the type of wedding you want, multiply this by the number of guests, and then, add 10-15 percent to that figure and you should be close to the total cost of your wedding.

Written Word

Everything about a wedding invitation should be perfect, including the penmanship on the envelopes. Don't use lables or personally handwrite the addresses yourself; hire a professional.

Wedding Daycare

If you want to include your young nieces and nephews, arrange for a playroom at the reception and hire a couple of certified nannies. Thank me later!

Fitting Factors

Schedule a minimum of two or three fittings to get the gown perfect. Take into consideration your monthly cycle, water weight gain and, the probable temperature and humidity on your wedding day. Pass it on ladies!

Budget

When it comes time to allocate money to the catering, decor, venue, etc., you should have your priorities in place and spend accordingly.
