10  Steps to ensuring that you have a positive attitude when planning your memorable Wedding Day.

Live the dream with a positive attitude.

Step 1: Analyse your own attitude – where are you with your feelings about this wedding – (a) ‘can do’, (b)  it will be alright on the night or I will never get this day to work.

Step 2: Whether you are a, b or c it is important that you are willing to change your inept attitude – which is all about how you approach your life.

I am a firm believer in you get what you expect so start each day in a positive way by smiling as soon as you wake up and telling yourself something

Have what you want with a positive attitude.

wonderful is happening today and continue in that mode all day long and you will find everything that you approach will work like a dream and can only add enjoyment to your wedding preparations.

Step 3:- Find reasons for changing negative attitudes.   If you have a ‘that will not work attitude’ well guess what you are right.

Step 4: - Examine what is not working in your life, especially in the area of preparing for your wedding day?   Be honest with yourself – is this area not working because you are negative towards whatever it is – if the answer to that is yes then you know what to do change your attitude and this situation will right itself.

Step 5:- Are you at cause or effect in your life?   By that I mean do you blame other people on what is going wrong with you wedding plans?  If yes – stop it at once, take control and responsibility for whatever it is and fix it by having the right attitude. when things go wrong in your life or do you examine what is going wrong and why?   If you are the latter then keep doing what you are doing and your wedding plans will continue to work as you wish.

Step 6:- Learn from your own mistakes.  Did you say something to someone in planning your wedding that may have upset them and cause you to be distracted from your wedding plans.   If yes – make amends move on and learn from what happened so that you can be sure that this will not happen again.

Step 7: - Adapt to the successful entrepreneurs.   Use Google search for whatever stage of your wedding plans you are at to get the most successful entrepreneurs way of concluding your wedding plans.    Join a wedding forum while planning your wedding and get the best advice from the experts on that forum.

Step 8:- Learn from the best.   Remember you are not the first person to organise a wedding so make use of your friends who have done this successfully before you and learn from them.

Step 9:- Be passionate about what you do.   This is a no brainer because of course you are going to be utterly and totally passionate about organising your special day.   Driven by passion is what is going to give you the wedding day of your dreams with enjoyment as the keyword to its success.

Step 10:- Be self assured.   Know what you want, then go for it with confidence and assurance that what you want is right for everyone else and that it will work.

I grew up in a large family and was reared on love surrounded by people with positive attitudes who were always smiling.   It was this positive attitude that helped me through my wedding plans and all the ups and downs that I encountered in my life.   The big message here is that a positive attitude will help you get through the all mishaps you encounter in planning your wedding day,  as well as any bad times you experience in life and ensure that you come out the other side having learnt from your experiences.

“A SMILE IS THE LIGHT ON YOUR FACE TO LET SOMEONE KNOW YOU’RE HOME”

Having a positive attitude is like travelling with a GPS = less chance of getting lost on your journey and you always get to your destination quicker with less frustration.Dream like you have never dreamed before.

Smile and the world smiles with you.

Your Wedding in a Poor Economy.

A view like this will always set a positive scene for your Wedding reception

Congratulations you are getting married.   So let the exctitement begin.   I am sure you have all noticed that our economy is poor right now which can be a good thing when it comes to you arranging your wedding.   The good news on that is now you can arrange the wedding of your dreams at a realistic price.   In the boom times negotiating a price was neither a concern nor an option.

Both of you getting involved in planning your wedding is a must.   How many grooms do you know that tend to leave all the planning and arranging of their big day to their bride.   Lads wake up this is your day too so get involved and make it a day that you both can enjoy and accept the credit for such a great day.

The 7 Steps to deciding on what suits you best?

Remeber this is your day so have it your way - enjoy

Step 1: It is so important to have the wedding that suits your needs both financially and spiritually.

Step 2: Do not be influenced by anyone else.   How you want your day to be is entirely up to both of you.   Parents can attempt to impose their ideas onto you as to what they want, because traditionally weddings were a great get together for both parents relatives and friends and rightly so because it was the Brides parents that tended to pay in times gone past.

Step 3: Times have changed for the better and now you decide what you want, where you want it, how many people you want to attend your type of wedding and all within your own budget, or if you are lucky enough, within your parents budget.   Regardless to who is paying for the day make sure you are getting value for money and a quality day out for all.

How can you do this?   Be prepared to do the leg work.   Shop around – have prices to compare against.   Use this price scoring to your advantage when negotiating and  deciding on where you want your wedding to be.

Step 4: Visit at least 6 venues of your choice and see who is offering the best value for money.   The place that you like best may not be the place that is offering the best value for money but this can work to your advantage as you will be able to let them know that you have other venues offering the same as they are at a much cheaper price and then get them to compromise and give you the venue you desire at the price that suits your pocket.

Step 5: Based on the pricings that you have received from the different venues can help you make up your mind as to how many people you can afford to have at your wedding.

Step 6: When completing your wedding list, always divide it into must have guests, and nice to have guests.

Step 7: In completing your wedding list with your must have guests this too can help you to decide on whether you are having a small wedding reception for immediate family and friends with an evening wedding party for all and sundry.  or Have all concerned at your wedding reception.

Tip when booking venue for small wedding party: If you choose to go with a small wedding reception for family and close friends only – do not reveal to the venue of your choice that you are booking your  wedding reception with them.   Book the venue for say 20 or 30 people agree the type of menu you wish to have and agree the price.   I can guarantee you that the price quoted to you in this way will be much cheaper than if you had of revealed that this booking relates to your wedding reception.

When booking your wedding venue for a medium to large number of guests it is best to reveal that this is your wedding reception that you are booking and endeavour to get all the trimmings.   When booking a medium to large wedding reception you can expect to get your hotel room free, flowers for the table, special deal on rooms for your guests, tasting dinner in advance of your wedding reception for at least 6 people.   Free teas and coffees upon entering the hotel, find out can you bring your own wine, if yes what do they charge for corkage, etc.   The best place to find out what deals you can get from your wedding venue is at a Wedding fair way in advance of you booking the venue of your dreams.

Remember it is only the memory of this day that you want to last forever not the cost of it.   Enjoy and have the day of your dreams at a price that is right for you.

New Four Weddings – The perfect Wedding

My perfect day is me and my man

The perfect wedding is something that we all want and strive to achieve.   But do we really get it at the end of the day.   Each persons wedding day is special no matter how many hiccups you have or what anyone else thinks of your day.

Does anyone out there watch the TV program ‘New Four Weddings’ – it is another one of those reality TV shows where there are 4 pushy brides scoring each others wedding to win a prize honeymoon.    Each one of the 4 girls believes that their wedding day is the best and that they should win.   As we all know there only can be one winner and this TV program is no different.

The TV producers are very clever because they will always place people together that are at opposite ends of the budget gauge.  The most recent one I watched is where there was a waitress on a budget up against a glitzy halloween wedding.

I have no doubt prompted by the TV programme organisers, each of the brides are nearly always in some way negative towards each other which of course makes for great TV viewing.  As I watch I often ask myself why the other brides attending the one wedding do not make a better effort at enjoying themselves.   They appear to behave like prima donas awaiting what’s next throughout the entire day.   This is not reality.

When you organise your wedding you have everything well prepared  for everyone.   Starting with the wedding love poem  and the enjoyment part is up to each person at your wedding.  Once you have

This is my perfect day

completed your planning and organised your venue to include the best food of your choice, the dancing and the delights then the rest is up to each of your guests and no hand holding should be necessary.

For me the perfect wedding is where it is obvious that the day and evening has being planned to perfection and there is nothing left for anyone to do but enjoy themselves.

Now it is your turn to relax and tap yourself on the back for preparing such a wonderful day.

Next step is to go on that honeymoon of your dreams, which you have worked hard for and not being foolish enough to join the New Four Wedding team to compete for your fantasy honeymoon to be paid for you.

My message to you is – your wedding day is not a TV reality show it is your special day and you are the most important people on that day and all eyes will be on you not to judge but  purely to share the love that you have for each other and to enjoy such a wonderful and happy union.

In summary you will always achieve your perfect day……….
