A plan to succeed

As it is so often in life, it only takes one bad apple to spoil an entire basket full.
This is true for almost every aspect of life--and very true for a wedding or event. Planning or at least having a contingency plan for just such happenings is the difference between a ho-hum event and a spectacular event that makes your guests leave with a smile on their face.

Planning for everything that may happen at your wedding might be impossible, but at least being prepared is one sure way to have a smooth going event. A planner does this very sort of thing for their clients. We plan for the wrong, the right and everything in between. We look at an event from every angle and try as hard as we can to strive for perfection--smooth sailing throughout the entire day. It doesn't always happen as planned, but at least, we are prepared.

The wedding couple should be prepared for anything as well. They should actually prepare their minds to know that whatever happens on their special day, nothing should dampen the spirit of the day---their wedding day. The bad may happen, but knowing that something may happen and not sweating the small stuff will ensure that you both have a more pleasant day filled with memories to last forever. Just knowing that you will be able to look back one day and laugh about cousin Eddy falling into the cake helps. It didn't seem so great at the time, but at least you were prepared. It is only a cake, your guests didn't starve and you did save the topper!

Plans are best when made in advance, but quick thinking also counts for over 30% of successful events. Plan to succeed, but without a plan, you will plan to fail.
