Bridal Survivor Seminar & Open House is here!
It's taken
several months of planning to put together possibly the best wedding
seminar ever! And the response has been overwhelming. Seminar's &
Open Houses have already begun in Kokomo and Lafayette, and we
are already scouting locations in Ft. Wayne and Indianapolis. Check
out the Bridal Survivor information pages with upcoming schedules
and RSVP information. Remember seating is limited!
Here we grow again! The
Indiana Bridal Guide™
is outgrowing it's current web structure. Over
the month of May we will be upgrading to new software that will
handle our rapid growth. We appreciate your patience as we make this
major transition.

Cash Bar vs. Open Bar
Christa Tharp
Opinions
vary on this subject widely! If you look at any high fashion Bridal
magazine they will say it is never appropriate to have a cash bar ~ but
hey ~ they can afford it. What if you can’t? Here are your
options:
Open Bar ~ This
means you pay for EVERYTHING your guests consume. Beer, wine, soda & hard
liquor. Be prepared to pay! We’ve had one bride who’s bar tab
equaled $12,000!!
Cash Bar ~
Usually, this is where you pay for the beer, wine and soft drinks.
But the guests can pay for their own mixed drinks if they would like.
There is nothing wrong with this. However, don’t ever expect your
guests to pay for their soft drinks or coffee. This is NEVER
acceptable. You can also specify how much beer and wine is to be
used and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Signature Drink ~
Want alcohol but not the expense? Create
a signature drink and let that be the only alcohol at the wedding.
It’s creative and saves money!
No Alcohol ~ It
is completely up to you whether you serve alcohol or not. It is not
a prerequisite to having a great reception. What’s most important is
to do what you and your family feel most comfortable doing.
It’s your
wedding ~ have fun
Survive the biggest reality show of your life ~
