Wacky Wedding Guest - Think before you invite them most of them you have to invite

Ok so I saw this in a Bridal magazine from Dallas and I thought I would share with our brides and grooms ! There is always one person maybe two at a wedding who either drink to much , take off their clothes  ,yes I have seen that and just act plain crazy when they are at a wedding - Here are a few people you should think twice about before you invite

1. BridesMaids Weird Boyfriend -  You kind of have to since she bought the dress to be in your wedding even though you canht stand him - Anyone out there have this happening to them ?

2. Kooky  Wedding Planner - Put up with her its worth it and besides she your number one go to on your big day ! I hope you like her and the vendors you have hired like her !

3. Little Neice -  Hire Babay sitter and put her in the Bridal Suite when all the fun starts !

4. Fiance's Horny Ex - Frat Brother -  Sit him at a table with other single people or suggest that he bring a date so he doesn't offend any of your friends !

5. Cousin you Barely Know -  It will  go along way to make your family happy - Sit them at a table with family !

6. Wedding Hater - these chics are the ones who comments on everything you planned for your wedding and they think they know it all ! Also usually in a Love Rutt and sick of weddings !

7. Your Boss -  They decide your salary so you should invite them -

8. Drunk Uncle - This guest is usally the favorite one to watch - They have to be babysat all night and the family is usually shaking their heads as the night goes on !

Hope you find this funny and helpful - Its meant to  be - We love all of our guest at weddings - they make the event !

Tina & Tony's - Fake Wedding Vegas Style

Ok Who has been to See Tina & Tony's wedding ? If you have not been or heard about this great show in vegas you have to make sure and plan a night when your there next time to see this show! I promised the fake catering dude that I would blog and tell my brides and grooms to go see it ! Its so funny and you really think like your at a bad wedding or just one that is really messed up - I could have picked another word but I will be nice ! They dont have a DJ role in it but a lounge singer who sings to popular tunes - I swear he looks just like Curtis Whipple in Phoenix ( DJ )   They have to meet becuase they could seriously be twins ! They also have this great couple one is the father of the groom and the new stop om or girlfriend is there as a guest and makes her self known ! The mother is super mad and calling her names - They even have a wedding cake which really was bad ! Anyway Please consider seeing this show next time your there ! Perfect for a trip with family or Wedding Industry people or newlyweds you will love it ! The shows plays nightly at The New Planet Hollywood Casino and the tickets are fairly reasonable ! We bought ours at Half Price Tickets on the Strip -

DONT WALK TO SEE IT RUN :) Let me know what you think !

TICK TOCK - TICK TOCK

OK WHAT KIND OF BLOG STARTS OFF WITH TICK TOCK TICK TOCK -  THIS BLOG IS TO HELP THOSE BRIDES OUT THERE THAT ARE IN THE INITIAL PLANNING STAGES OF THEIR SPECIAL DAY ! IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT VENUES FOR THE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR AT THIS POINT I WOULD HIGLY RECOMMEND NOT ONLY LOOKING AT VENUES BUT START TO NARROW DOWN YOUR VENDORS OR THE ONES WHO YOU HAVE TO HAVE ! PHOTOGRAPHERS , DISC JOCKEY OR WEDDING OFFICIANT OR YOUR PLANNER -

MANY DATES ARE BOOKED OUT A YEAR OR SO IN ADVANCE AND SATURDAYS FILL UP FAST ESPECIALLY IN SEASON IN PHOENIX !  WHEN YOUR THINKING OF A VENUE OR A PLACE TO GET MARRIED YOU WILL NEED TO START A LIST OF WHATS INCLUDED AND WHAT VENDORS YOU WILL NEED TO BRING IN - HOW WILL YOU FIND THEM OR WHO IS GOOD THAT YOU WILL CLICK WITH AND WHAT TO BE PART OF YOUR SPECIAL DAY !

THE VENDORS SOMETIMES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE VENUE  -

1. THINK ABOUT WHOS WEDDING YOU WERE AT LAST - WERE THE VENDORS AWESOME

2. ASK FOR REFERRALS

3. READ REVIEWS ON WEBSITES

4. INTERVIEW THEM AND ASK QUESTIONS

5. YOU MUST LIKE THE PERSON WHO WILL BE AT YOUR WEDDING

WEDDING GUEST DO's & DONT's

You have planned the most wonderful day for your future husband and your self and not to mention all the hard work and money it is to plan such a special day ! There are a few pet peeves that most people have and Im sure some of you can relate on wedding guest do's and dont's !

1.RSVP - Ok this is so easy and so important - Its so easy to take the time to mail the card back in , it even comes with stamp usually and an address so all you have to do is pop it in the mail !  One other thing the card is addressed to who is invited - If it says Mr. & Mrs. Smith - It means the 2 of you and not your neighbors or your kids !

2 - OUR BIGGEST PET PEEVE is RESPECT - The invitation gives a time  and location and usually the ceremony starts on time within minutes from the time posted on the invite ! If you are late then maybe just stay on the side and watch the Ceremony instead of walking in the middle of it !  Every now and then you have someone also recording a video just for fun or maybe they were asked to by a parent - Did you ever think if You are not a pro and don't know what your doing your going to be in all the professional photographers full photo images ! Its just crazy !  I see this all the time and I know the couple most likely never thought that the friend would be in the way but they are ! 

3. TREAT THE WEDDING as if it was yours.  - Be respectful of the special day the couple is having and make sure and now your limits. It does not happen often but a few times we have seen some guest get out of control and say strange things during the speeches or drink to much and fall down and they have to be rushed to the hospital. Just be careful and make sure your not the guest everyone is talking about and so and so's wedding.  Also one thing a bride really does not want to hear is how you would have done things ! Just compliment her and it will go along way !

If your a guest coming up at a wedding - I hope this helps !

QUINCE QUINCE QUINCETTA - SO MUCH FUN !

We had the honor to be part of Miss Anabel Lopez Quincetta last week ! A young girl from Seton High in the suburbs of Phoenix !  I thought it would be something that people who may not have ever heard of a Qunicetta or have been to one learn more about this Spanish culture or party that most young latin girls dream about growing  up !  A quince short for Quincetta is a party that is thrown when a young girl turns 15 and she celebrates coming of age or a coming out party ! There is a special mass usually in the catholic church that familiy and close friends will attend !  Sometimes the mass can be held outside a church but usually its held at the parish where the family attends !  Many traditions will pair up the girls with friends who are boys their age and they will dance a few custom dances ! More and more the Quinces are going away from this and just dancing to more popular music or what they like and not making it so complicated where they have to learn special dances ! Also the birthday girl usually wears a very formal dress that may resemble a wedding gown look or even sometimes they get more colorful and have the big round dress look at the bottom ! Anyway they are super fun and if you have a chance to attend one you should! Thanks ANABEL for allowing us to share in your special day !
