Rant or Rave: A Traveling Wedding

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Recently one of our staffers hopped on a plane to travel three states away for a friend’s wedding—but her traveling didn’t stop there. She had to drive an hour outside of town to attend the ceremony in a rural location, and then another hour and a half in the other direction for the reception!

City Traffic Moving Announcement

We found it odd to ask your wedding guests to drive all over the state in order to attend the different parts of your celebration, but if an engaged couple has a variety of locations that are important to them, maybe it would be warranted?

Is traveling long distances between the ceremony and the reception a hassle for guests, or just part of what makes a wedding unique? Rant or rave about it!

Rant or Rave: Planning a Long Distance Bridal Shower

Friday, November 13th, 2009

A good friend of mine recently found out that an upcoming wedding she’s in has been moved from June to January! She’s in a whirlwind rush to help the bride finalize all of the details, but she is also facing an even bigger dilemma—although she’s the maid of honor, she lives in Connecticut and the bride lives in California.

Should she plan a last minute bachelorette party and bridal shower from Connecticut? Who else might step in to take over these roles? Is it possible to pull off a perfect last minute shower?

What do you think? Does long distance shower planning make you want to rant or rave?

If you’re in the midst of planning a wedding, you know that Saturday is the most expensive day of the week for your ceremony and reception, followed by Sunday, Friday and then the rest of the days of the week.

Everyone knows you can save money by having your wedding on an off-day, but would you ever consider a mid-week wedding?
