The Hitch L A K E W O O D
Can you believe Thanksgiving is THIS week? We know once we reach the holiday season, planning takes a little bit of a back seat. That’s okay! Enjoy your time with family and friends. However, if you are still looking for a few vendors, try to book them before the end of 2014. Once we hit 2015, all the new couples who got engaged over the holidays will be looking to book their vendors!

We found you a great site where you can make your own personalized tags. Be sure to check it out at www.evermine.com. You also might want to consider popping the popcorn and sprinkling some seasoning on top a few hours beforehand so that your guests can have their popcorn already made before they leave your wedding. You can’t go wrong with sending them home with a midnight snack.

Crea
ng Your Sea
H i t c h
ng Chart
Crea ng your sea ng chart for your wedding day can be stressful. Figuring out which ones of your friends and family will be able to converse with each other for the en re night can be a process. But don’t fear, it doesn't have to be as stressful as you think. A good way to decide who sits where is to write each guest’s name on a post-it note and line up as many half sheets of plain paper as you have tables. You can s ck all the post it notes on each table un l you are sa sfied with who is si ng where. It’s a good idea to ask a select few of your family and friends for sugges ons as well because they can help the process. You should also consider mixing up some of your guests with people they don’t know and may have something in common with. From past experiences, guests will comment on how it was nice to talk to other people who they might not have to begin with. Just keep in mind that it’s your day and your guests love you and are happy to be there, regardless of where you sit them.
Wedding Enhancement Specials! Adding up-ligh ng to your wedding can really enhance the atmosphere of the whole night. Your guests will be in awe when they see your recep on room.
