Wedding planner myth number 3:


I don't need a wedding planner my friends and family are going to help me.


You may want the help of your friends and family but are they trained to handle all the details and issues involved with planning a wedding? Do you really want your mom and sisters running around making sure everything is perfect for your wedding, or would you rather have them with you getting pampered and enjoying this very special moment together. There are so many different aspects to consider when delegating tasks to family and friends. It may cause some confusion for the members of your family when so many of them are involved. It is so important to have one contact person who will oversee all the details and be the go to person responsible for making sure everything runs smoothly. Do you really want your family and friends, whom you love dearly coming to you when a potential problem occurs? Can you imagine how bad your aunt would feel if she accidentally dropped your wedding cake while transporting it from it's box to the cake table. This has happened, where a family member dropped the cake and then tried to fix the icing themselves.

A wedding planner will oversee the delivery and placement of the cake by the cake designer. These professionals are trained to handle the transportation of the cake and if something does happen your wedding planner will be on hand to fix the problem without any stress or concern coming your way. It's nice to have family and friends involved but you need to remember they are still your guests. Would you invite guests to your home for dinner and ask them to tidy up the kitchen and set the table ? A wedding planner takes care of the many details of your wedding day so you can relax and celebrate with your family and friends.
