“For all your wedding stationery elements that
are sent beore your wedding, it is not appropriate
and bad luck to use your three-letter marriedmonogram. I you want to use a three letter
monogram then you should use your maiden name
monogram or, as a more contemporary alternative,
use a two letter monogram that is the frst name
initial o the bride enlaced with the frst name
initial o the groom.”

busy woman tips
Planning an Event AlsoMeans Un-planning
Organizing the after-party clean
up should be done with as much
care as planning the event itself.
Many questions and issues arise
that must be addressed.
Here are just a few to think
about from All Occasions Party
Rentals:• Where does the excess food
and beverage go?
• Do you need foil or “take out”
boxes? Not a glamorous
task but you must know who is
responsible for garbage removal.
• Who is the last person on site
to turn off the lights and
lock the doors?
• And, one last note, don’t letany one dump the left over
and excess ice on the grass
because the grass will freeze
and you’ll have a large brown
spot for months to come.
Getting Married?
Here are the top 5 ways to make
sure you’re still friends with your
bridesmaids after the wedding
from the team at The Club at
Seabrook Island:
1. Choose a bridesmaid’s dress
they like - and maybe even one
they can wear again!
2. Let them help, but don’t
demand that they do.3. The gift you give them doesn’t
have to be expensive, but make
sure it’s thoughtful.
4. Remember that their lives
(and budgets) don’t revolve
around your wedding.
5. Don’t forget to say thank you!

busy woman tips
Wedding Don’ts
1) Live in La La Land –
It never rains in La La Land,
but we don’t live there. Planning
for the best-case scenario is not
planning at all.
2) Overextend Yourself –
Inviting 300 guests means
providing enough food, drink and space to accommodate each
person. Be realistic about what
you can afford and plan your
wedding based on that reality.
No matter the size or scale, your
day will be memorable because
you’re surrounded by those who
love you the most.
3) Get Your Timing Off –
From trying on dresses with
bridesmaids to your wedding
reception, remember to end
on a “high note”. Your guests
will leave remembering how
great of a time they have had,
not checking their watches
wondering when is a good time
to make an exit.
4) Loose Your Cool –In the end, no one will
remember the little snags that
inevitably occur, but they will
remember your freak out!
Keep close to your heart and
mind the mantra: “this is
about love, fun and joy”.
5) Forget Who You Are –
You’ll want to look and feelyour best – so, that means not
wearing 4-inch heels when
you’re a ip op girl. From the
makeup you wear to the tone of
your day, make it reect you and
your honey’s personalities.

“Take the time to include a handwritten note to
each bridesmaid when you give the bridesmaids
their gits. Since most brides give all o the
bridesmaids the same git, this is a way to add a
personal touch to each git. Plus, you should
never miss an opportunity to let your best
girlriends know why they are so important to you
and how much you appreciate them!”
