A Happy Guest...

My husband has a cute saying (and it's true I might add)... "A happy wife is a happy life". The same is true for guests at a wedding, their happiness can go a long way in creating an atmosphere of joy at a wedding. If they're miserable, cold or starving or thirsty, I can assure you the mood will deflate and the event will fall flat. Leave a guest standing in the cold and the dark after a fun wedding or sitting in the hot sun with no water or shade... guess what their memory will be? Not the romance or fun times at your wedding. I can assure you.

In the midst of your wedding planning, take a few moments from the inspiration boards and pretty pictures and make sure you've considered hospitality and comfort for those who have made the effort to be there for you at your wedding. Trust me, your guests will thank you and you will be left with an amazing wedding with rewards that extend well beyond the beautiful details.
