Time to Rethink How We Celebrate Weddings?
04 September, 2020

Raise your hand if some of the weddings you attended recently were a little over the top. In recent years, we’ve attended weddings held in Castles and giant ballrooms. They were so outrageously extreme, we thought about adding a few hundred dollars to the gift envelope. The amount of food available in the cocktail hour alone was enough to feed a small town.

The Future of Wedding Cakes
04 September, 2020

Cake decorating artists and related businesses are monitoring how to adjust their product lines and spaces not to maximize capacity, but to ensure safety with the emergence of COVID compliance.  

“An awareness of health and safety will likely have a lasting effect after COVID,” says wedding planner Annie Lee of Daughter of Design, with offices in New York City, Los Angeles and Miami, Fla. “Particularly, venues and caterers will need to take extra precautions like adding contactless faucets, sanitation stations, along with a hyper-vigilance when it comes to cleaning.”

The Business of Weddings
09 April, 2019

As much as we would like to think that fairy tale weddings just happen, they really do not.  They only look that way because someone put a lot of time and care into creating a very special event.  Our focus at TriniWeddings is on helping the bride and her family enjoy this special day and recommend attention be paid to these key business issues early in the planning process.

The Etiquette of Cash Gifts
08 September, 2017

Is it great to get money as a wedding gift?  Of course it is! What isn't great is asking for it or worse yet, having it printed on your wedding invitation "discreetly".  There is no discreet way to have it printed on your invitation.  It's like sending out invitations to a dinner party at your home and printing corner copy which reads "$20 per couple". 

The Seating Plan
21 July, 2017

Planning a wedding requires organization, decision making skills and patience.  It's a huge undertaking with absolutely wonderful results.  All the work that goes into a wedding is worth it as you and the love of your life begin that life together.  But there is a difficult task which your wedding planner cannot do for you and if you are planning a sit down dinner it may be one which you may want to consider. It is the time consuming and detail oriented task of creating THE SEATING PLAN.

Weddings are celebratory times and for many couples the celebration is not complete without spirits (alcoholic beverages).  Consider your guest list as well as your budget when determining the style and type of beverages and/or bar service to offer your guests.

The (B) Guest List
21 June, 2017

Very few couples are lucky enough to predict the exact number of guests that will attend their wedding and reception.  The best they can do is give a reasonably accurate estimate to their caterer and keep their fingers crossed.  Even with careful planning, printed rsvp cards and lots of on line communication, the best most weddings can manage is an 85% rate of response.  What's a bride to do?  As awkward as it sounds, many brides are in fact, preparing a B-list of guests.
