invite TIME LINE
These are not hard and fast rules (except for the thank you cards!), but they serve as a starting point. Destination Weddings Timeline is on the top, and local weddings are on the bottom.
SAVE-THE-DATES

( L) 2-3 WEEKS
( L) IMMEDIATELY
Save-the-dates give your guests a friendly heads-up. They are not always necessary, but are never a bad idea. Your guests may decide to turn your destination wedding into a getaway trip, so those savethe-dates can be sent up to a year in advance.
There is such a thing as too early! Send invitations so that your guests’ maximum anticipation lines up with your big day. Invitations for destination weddings should be sent far enough in advance for your guests to make their travel plans.
Your RSVP Deadline will depend on how much lead time your wedding professionals need. The first one to consider is your caterer’s meal count. Check with each vendor to determine when they need a final number, and set the RSVP return date for a week before that.
Believe it or not, you’ll start receiving gifts even before you walk down the aisle. Send their thank you cards immediately to minimize your workload after the wedding. Once you’re back from your honeymoon, kick it into high gear to get them out no later than six weeks after the wedding.

I DO Y’ALL SUMMER | FALL 2019
You’ve hired professional photographers, caterers, musicians, and videographers to make your wedding day an unforgettable one. Don’t overlook everyone’s favorite pro: the bartender! Not only can you count on knowledgeable, speedy drink service for your guests, but a professional bartender will handle the nitty gritty, like the bar’s inventory and shopping list. You won’t have to trouble yourself with glassware, ice, mixers, or garnishes — just sit back, relax, and enjoy your professionally-poured cocktail. However, it’s more than meticulous drink mixing. Like other wedding pros, bartenders are artists. Drinks are garnished just-so, and they’re able to craft cocktails based on individual guest’s preferences. You can also work with your bartender to create one or more signature drinks for your wedding.
Before hiring a professional bartender for your wedding, do your research. First, inquire with your venue and caterer. Some have restrictions on who’s allowed to serve alcohol on site. Others require that the venue or caterer provide the alcohol, as opposed to purchasing it off site.
hire a pro
B AR T E N D E R
How many bartenders do you need? Check your guest count. A general rule is 75 people per bartender. When budgeting, figure two to three drinks per person during cocktail hour and one drink per person, per hour, for the rest of the night. To determine whether or not a professional bartender is the right fit for your wedding, meet with a professional near you!

Diamonds are measured by the “Four Cs.”
Your gift was perfect, you know us so well.

I’m so glad we were able to finally catch up!
CUT Proportions of a diamond and its facets, as opposed to its shape. A diamond gets its brilliancy from the cutting which maximizes the reflection of light. COLOR White diamonds are graded on a D–Z scale, D being the most colorless. CLARITY The presence of natural marks, called inclusions, in the gem. The Gemological Institute of America judges clarity based on a standard 11-point scale from “Flawless” through “Imperfect 3.” CARATS Diamonds are weighed in carats, which may also be expressed as “points,” where one carat equals 100 points.
It was so good seeing you again. We can’t wait to use ______ in our new home! We can’t wait to see you at the wedding! 4 - YO U R R E G A R D S Thank you again, Much Love, Many thanks, Warmly, With Love, *Send thank yous no later than 6 weeks after your wedding

DATE NIGHTS
(that won’t break the wedding budget)
Volunteer Together Visit a local shelter or charity and serve someone. Not only are you having fun with your fiancé, it’s a great way to give back to your community.
Explore a Local Park Sometimes the best adventures are right outside your door!
Have a Game Night Ask your friends over and play some good, old fashioned board games. You don’t realize how competitive your friends are until Monopoly comes into the picture!
DIY Day You know all those pins you’ve saved on Pinterest and never tried? Now is the time to get crafty! You can probably find most of the items around your house. P.S. Check out our blog, idoyall.com, for a fun paper marbling DIY! It’s ohso-satisfying.
Check out Open Houses Near You Who doesn’t want to be Joanna Gaines? Why yes, we’ll take the $1,000 house without walls. We can shiplap that. ( JK, please don’t do that-just get an idea of what each of you would like one day.)
Watch the Worst Movies on Netflix Ask your friends for ideas. Sometimes all you need is a good laugh with the person you love to have a great night. Don’t forget the popcorn.
Grab a Disposable Camera Walk around your city and take pictures of each other with this oldie but goodie. After you’ve used all 28 of your pics, get them devoloped at a local drugstore. The cloud may fail you, but prints last (almost) forever.
Exercise Encouraging each other to be healthy can be a fun way to stay in shape. 88 |

Shopping
FOR THE GOWN Brides have many different ideas of how they should shop for a wedding gown. Some appointments are just like brides imagine. They come in with their mother and all their friends. They try on dresses until they find “the one.� Everyone cries, champagne is served, and the bride leaves happy having found the perfect, dream dress. Unfortunately, that is not how bridal shopping usually happens. Here are a few tips to help new brides have the wonderful bridal experience they are expecting at their bridal appointment.

TIPS FOR CREATING YOUR OWN
wedding website 1. FREE IS THE BEST You can create a personalized site online for free. Search for sites that offer free website services.
2. MAKE IT NEED-TO-KNOW + A LITTLE EXTRA There are two reasons to make a wedding website. One is to give guests need-toknow info that may not be included on the invite. The second reason is to add more information that guests will want to know, like suggested attire.
3. DON’T HOLD BACK WHEN DISPLAYING REGISTRY DETAILS
5. FAR AWAY FRIENDS & FAM WILL THANK YOU Post logistical details for guests making travel plans.
You can add links directly to your registries.
4. ADD PERSONAL DETAILS Let visitors to your site get to know you better by giving them a little bit of background on yourself and your soon-to-be spouse. Tell the story of how you met and include pictures of the proposal.
HATTIESBURG
6. DON’T FORGET TO PROOFREAD Double-check that all the addresses and other facts are correct. You don’t want your guests to get lost or confused.

all things #hashtags DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN CREATING YOUR WEDDING HASHTAG?
We know, sis! Here’s how you can tag along on this trend!
#WhatsThePoint
100
Photographers can’t capture everything! Your guests will be taking photos throughout your big day and hashtags are a way for you to see them all in one place. Encourage your guests to share hashtagged photos across social media platforms and turn your wedding guests into your personal paparazzi.
#WorthIt Hashtags are for more than just your big day! Use your hashtag for all engagement and wedding related memories. Relive every special moment in one place with your wedding hashtag. Go through snapshots the second your heels come off, or when you are sunning with your sweetie on your honeymoon. Guests can relive their favorite moments after your big day or see what they missed out on if they weren’t able to attend.

I DO Y’ALL SUMMER | FALL 2019
#Wingman Need help making your hashtag? Use an online generator or sit down for a hash it out with your honey for #datenight. Not feeling a hashtag with your last names? Use your venue or location to create your hashtag. #RogersOnTheRiver #BrentsInTheBarn #ChapmansInTheChapel #HitchedInHattiesburg
This real wedding couple’s last names were Polk & Nodhturft! Have fun with your hashtag and don’t be scared to show your personality as a couple!
#SpreadTheWord (or hashtag) How do you let everyone know what hashtag to use? Announce your hashtag on social media or wedding website and ask your guests to use it. Letterboards or signs are trendy ways to convey information and can be placed in key spots around your festivities to share the world like near the guestbook, your program, and your welcome sign. Don’t forget your #selfiestation or photobooth!
