Share Your Wisdom

This blog is dedicated to acquiring tips and tricks from REAL WOMEN that have become experts in making the events of their lives extraordinary. This wisdom will be shared in the event-planning book I am writing called "Your Life and Times."

You're an event planner and probably don't even realize it! Did you ever direct your high school play or organize a school dance; plan a baby shower for your college roommate; volunteer to host the 3rd grade class Valentine's Day party; have a birthday party for your kids; organize a fundraiser for a sick friend; plan a company golf outing; serve as a scout leader or a Sunday School teacher; host a block party for the neighborhood; plan your parent's 50th wedding anniversary? If so, your experiences and your voice is what will make this book useful, unique and best of all fun to read.

Time-savers, planning tips, favorite websites, funny stories, or how you averted disaster on a special day - anything goes! But please only post what you are willing to share with the world - it could end up in the book!

WEDDING TIPS - OUTDOOR VENUES

Words of Wisdom for brides planning an outdoor wedding:


• Book your venue early and BE FLEXIBLE. The best outdoor venues will be booked every weekend from Mid-April through mid-November 1 ½ to 2 years in advance.

• Plan for the unexpected. Be prepared to go with the flow and carry on when unexpected weather occurs.

• Get familiar with the alternate indoor space the venue is able to provide in case of bad weather - if you can’t visualize your ceremony there, keep looking.

• Have fun! Whatever happens, if you’re having fun, everyone around you will have fun too.
