Traditionally, wedding invitations are sent out 6 - 8 weeks before the wedding date. With today’s busy schedules, this “short notice” doesn’t always cut it. Far flung family and friends need time to make travel arrangements, get new formal attire, and find you the perfect gift!
Remind your guests to “Save the Date” for your big day with a handy magnet or a save the date ribbon on your engagement party favors.
Be sure to have your wedding date and location finalized before sending/giving out “Save the Date” reminders. “Save the Date” reminders can’t replace a formal invitation, but they’re a great way to help make it easier for everyone you love to be with you on your special day!

You’re nearing your big day. You’ve gotten almost all of your invitation responses back. You’ve carefully organized a guest list. The next step is preparing the seating arrangements.
We work with a lot of brides who tell us that they aren’t planning to use any place cards at their reception. Our advice is to reconsider that decision. From a cozy celebration with your closest family and friends to a large gala with many guests, any event can get off to a rocky start when seating hasn’t been given the consideration it needs.
A free for all grab at seating can lead to a badly distributed guest melee. Careful consideration beforehand will allow you to make sure that great-Grandma isn’t seated right next to the sound system’s speakers. Great-Grandma might be feisty, but getting “crunk” might not be her style.
Seating guests of similar ages and interests together seems to be the best configuration. For example, you may want to group your cousins together in one area together, and your aunts and uncles in another. Your most immediate family members will likely prefer a front row seat to the festivities and should get seating near to the head table.
Place cards are an easy and elegant way to help your guests find their seats. Some brides use their wedding favors as place cards, or attach the card to their favors. Your event venue can provide a table at the door leading to your dining area for place card setup. Arrange the place cards alphabetically on the table. This simple addition to your event will help create a comfortable environment for your guests!

If you’re involved in planning a wedding, you’ve no doubt heard tales of nightmare wedding conflicts that bring out the dreaded “Bridezilla”. Our customer support team often finds themselves in the awkward position of mediator between a bride and her planning partners. Many a maid of honor has told us stories of being treated more like “the maid” than an honored attendant. Unrealistic expectations and crazy demands on those who are trying to help her can send Bridezilla’s planning partners running for the hills!
Brides, in their defense, are often planning the biggest event of their lives with no previous experience with event planning. The stress of trying to please everyone, from their great-grandmother to their neighbor’s six year old twins, can be very taxing.
It can be scary to watch your beloved friend, sister, or daughter morphing into Bridezilla when things aren’t “perfect”, but there are things you can do to help! We’ve found that the calmest brides we meet are also the most organized. Planning ahead and delegating tasks can take away so much pressure from planning “the Big Day”.
Know a bride who’s about to start stomping small villages? We’ve got a handy document folder that can help the bride or wedding planner keep important numbers and receipts all in one convenient spot. Email your name and mailing address to us at offers@ribbonsforyou.com to request a free document folder! We’ll send this free, helpful folder complete with a Regal Ribbons shopping list and special offers. Folders are available while supplies last. No purchase is required, and we will not add your address to a mailing list.
