Do your brides and grooms and their families and friends know you can help them plan wedding related events? It sounds like a silly question, but believe it or not people often get so focused on the fact that you are planning the Big Day, that they may not realize that you can also help plan other events. These might include bridal showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, bridesmaids’ luncheons, rehearsal dinners, after-parties, and post-wedding day brunches.
Share with your couples, and their families and friends, these 5 reasons why they should hire you to plan their wedding related events:
1) The bride can focus on her wedding
With so much to do before her wedding day, the bride doesn’t need to be involved in helping to plan parties, nor does she need to be worried about how family members and friends will handle them. You can take the lead and relieve her of the stress of dealing with the details of these events.
2) Everyone can relax and enjoying the time before the wedding
Family members and friends can get as stressed about the wedding as the bride and groom, and party planning takes a lot more work than people realize. With you helping them, they will be able to enjoy the events, even when they are hosting them.
3) You know traditional and modern etiquette
People may not know whom to invite, when the events should be held, and what should take place during the events. You can share your knowledge in these areas and help them make the right decisions.
4) You have knowledge of a wide range of venues
With your experience, you can offer unique ideas for places to hold events that family members and friends have not thought of before.
5) You have creative ideas on how to make these events really special
Since you are spending a great deal of time getting to know the bride and groom while you plan their wedding, you will be able to create events that match their personalities and the style and tone of their wedding.
Offer to plan events from start to finish or offer consultation-only services. For example, for a flat fee you could find and book a venue and help with menu selection.
It’s important to remember that you should only take on these additional events if you have the time and expertise to deliver in an excellent manner. Hire assistants or bring in other vendors if you need help creating events worthy of your brides and their loved ones.
