People Who Don't RSVP for a Wedding..or Any Event!

These types of people hold a very special place in my heart.  Not the nicest part.  Definitely not from the bottom of my heart!   

Do they have an idea of the agony they cause for someone planning an event.  Not only does a person planning an event have added stress when they least need it, the RSVP count or lack of is costing them money.  Yes, MONEY!  Guessing on a final guest count is costly.  Nothing pains me more than seeing a couple a week away from their wedding looking like volunteers at a call bank for a fund raising for public television.  "We were wondering if we could count on you for your support?"  Well,  kind of like that!

A tip for those planning an event!  Make sure your last table number is for those who might possibly show up but haven't sent in an RSVP!  It's only fair that they not be served in the same manner as everyone else.  They should be the last ones the DJ calls to the buffet line.  Never should anyone who DID send in an RSVP be scraping the bottom of a chafing dish!  

Enjoy Table #0 for the ______.  Trying not to say "Zero's".

Plan Your Wedding Theme Palette at A Paint Store

Where can you go to get inspiration for color?  A lot of color!   I know this isn't going to be what you normally hear as far as where to go if you are stuck on choosing a color theme.

Hear me out!  What I want you to do is go to a professional paint store and ask for a Color Key which is much like a fan will a ton of colors and they more than likely will not let you leave the counter while you are looking at it.  These come out as the newer colors come on board for a new season or the names are changed to what sounds cool according to the new trends.  Maybe a couple times a year.  It might be that a color is called aqua one year or turquoise or Tiffany blue another time.  Much of the time you will see that popular colors coordinate across the lines of fashion and interior design.  You don't want to go into the store asking for a particular color because of the name changes.

Here's another way to use a color fan.  Lets say that you have a fabric that you like and you want to paint some of you Do-It-Yourself projects.  You can take that piece of fabric in to the paint store and they will be able to mix up a paint color to that fabric.  A professional should know what to allow for as far as interpreting the sheen of a fabric.

One more thing, very important thing to remember.  When you look at one particular strip, you are actually seeing one color but all the shades represent what it will look like with different amounts and types of lighting.  Just look at a wall in your home and see how different it looks throughout the day.

If you are wondering what colors go well together no matter what shade you like, you'll find the complimentary shade in a different color.   This is how you want to use a color wheel.  If you find a color that you like, determine where it is on the color strip you are looking at.  If it is the fourth color down on the strip, look at any of the other strips and the colors that are in the same position on their own strip and you've found a ton of colors that would coordinate.  You just get to choose.  That might be the hardest part.
