Signs, Save the Dates & Being Realistic

Use Signs
Signs are a wonderful idea for photos. Lately I've seen them used a lot for thank you cards (a shot of the bride and groom holding a sign that reads "thank you") and engagement photos (signs that read something like "future Mr. & Mrs.). But you can use them for so much more! Opt for your flower girl to hold a sign that says "here comes the bride". Or if your guests enjoy a good joke, have her carry a "last chance to run" sign. The ideas are endless!

Definitely Send Save the Dates
This might seem like an unnecessary expense, but I think save the dates are a must! Everyone is just so busy nowadays that you want to give them a heads up before the actual invitations come out in the few months before. Some guests might be planning a vacation, others might have to bid for their time off of work, and out of town guests on a budget might need awhile to save up. If you send out save the dates you will give your guests the best possible notice and they will have a better chance of attending given other circumstances.

Be Realistic
Be realistic. It's a no-brainer right? Many brides set themselves up for failure while planning a wedding, whether it be setting a goal weight to fit into the perfect dress, or deciding to make every favor and centerpiece the week before. Make your life easier and be realistic about the things you are deciding/ scheduling to do for your wedding. And if you need it, ask for help! That's what the wedding party is for.
