Perfect Personal Events

Let’s be honest, bridal showers are usually pretty boring. Yes, I said it. #truth

How many times have your received a shower invitation in the mail and thought, Οh wow, I can’t wait to have mediocre food and watch my dear friend feign exaggerated excitement over kitchen utensils while pretending to play some type of gift Bingo?

I rest my case.

But – personal showers don’t need to be boring! Especially when you create custom made invitations (thanks Pulp + Ink) that look like a Barney’s credit card, personalized napkins (again, thanks Pulp + Ink), a fun menu with pink bubbly and a take-away gift for guests in gorgeous hand wrapped boxes with artisanal chocolates?? Personal showers SHOULD be personal, and reflect the vibe and spirit of the person being celebrated and most of all, FUN!

Congratulations! You’re getting married!!!

You’ve said I do, you can’t wait to say yes to the dress (or tux) and you’ve got it all planned out in your head thanks to the 100,000 Pinterest images you’ve saved…You’ve got this, right? It’ll be a piece of (wedding) cake!
Right?
Right?!?

Before you can spend the rest of your life in wedded bliss you’ve got a few minor details to work out…i.e., your wedding day. This means:

• Discussing a budget…a real one
• Finding the perfect venue. Caterer. Printer. Hotel for guests. Florist.
• Photographer? Videographer? Make-up Artist?
• Learning to speak “wedding”: what the hell is a sweetheart table?
• Do I need swag bags? Are favors a must?

Hiring a wedding planner to help you navigate these details (and more) can reduce the guesswork and stress that comes with planning your big day. As a special events producer with over 15 years of events experience, in addition to my fantastic relationships with some of Chicago’s top wedding vendors, I can make sure your wedding day truly is a beautiful, stress-free and enjoyable experience.
