While it is all about the Bride and Groom the guest count too. According to the Wedding Statistics and Market Research for the Wedding Industry the average wedding guest spends (on an average) $500 for your day. This cost includes but not limited to wedding attire(head to toe), transportation (to town and while in town), gifts, meals, hotel/lodging, and other activities. Given this investment it is wise to make sure their needs are meet too. Oh, the $500 price tag does not include the airfare. It is estimated 168 guest attend the average American wedding and 40% of those guest now fly to the wedding and more than 60% of which entail at least two days’ worth of events. These facts mean that your guest are very important and need to be factored in. In the end, the Bride and Groom will be happy to know that their most cherished guest were indeed taken care of too. Of course the couple first! A coordinator can organized maps, hotel bookings, identify local eateries, and entertainment to make your guest's stay comfortable.

Tahia,

Did you see Tyler Perry's movie: "Madea's Family Reunion"? The wedding scene in the movie is I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-B-L-E!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a must see. And the story line is really good. Next to the "Wedding Planner," this movie is the best! Don't get me wrong, I loved the "Wedding Planner" with Jennifer Lopez!

I'm not sure what to make of the "soup can" cake. Is the couple for real? They must work for Campbell's. Anyway, whatever floats your boat!

I was at a wedding on Saturday - lovely! The thing is that the cake was fake - except for a small piece that was real for the bride and groom to cut the cake and feed each other. The rest was well decorated styrofoam - the real cake was in the kitchen. The caterers cut and served the real cake. I wonder if this is done at a lot of weddings?
