Life as a Wedding Planner

What does a Wedding Planner do the week before a big wedding??
Let me tell you.


Makes 160 Seating cards + 16 seating cards on Whirly Pops ...

Makes 100 rose petal toss cones...


Makes 245 Menus...






Makes 245 Programs...





Makes 245 labeled containers for the Candy Buffet...





Packs up her Emergency kit and extra Supply kit. Packs 5 boxes of candy (after running out to get some last minute extra candy), 3 boxes of glass containers, and all rental items (none of which I got a photos of)...





Makes "Love is Sweet" and candy labels (these are also what the seating cards look like)...







Makes about 15 "Property of" Labels and tapes them to boxes...








Organizes her folder of paperwork...








Makes Wedding Information Packet with vendor information, timeline, processional/ceremony information, grand entrance information, diagrams of ceremony, terrace and ballroom...










Sends WAY TOO many emails and drinks WAY TOO much coffee....











Gives new assistant "RCE Standards of Excellence" and makes Coordinator briefing notes...
Straightens up the house so that is isn't a wreck when she comes home after the wedding on Saturday...
Makes many trips to the store...
Says countless THANK YOUs to Parents and Parents-in-law for watching the kids and Hubby for picking up paper that didn't arrive in time to make seating cards and cones....
Packs her car to the brim....
Changes 2 seating cards, with a smile, even though they are already done and packed up...
Does a Rehearsal....
Changes paperwork and 3 more seating cards, with a smile, even though everything is still done and packed up....
Talks to a potential Bride on the phone and sends email...
and really LOOKS forward to rocking a wedding tomorrow because she loves what she does and her Bride and Groom are awesome people!!
