The Brides Calling Card!

Hot New Trend!

We all know brides
are a busy busy
bunch of ladies!

Statistics show that planning a wedding takes right around 300 hours! Since it's just like having another part time job. Why not have the card to prove it.

Hand them to vendors you meet with. Use them at a bridal show so you don't have to spend hours filling out your name and address. Drop them in the drawing box with ease!

Give them to family members that just HAVE to be in the know! Or share them with your wedding party to slide into their purse so they can reach you whenever they might have a question.

What a great way to subtly introduce the color scheme or theme of your wedding. Infuse the design with your monogram or even your engagement pictures!

Whatever you do! Have fun with these cute new bride calling cards!

Au Revoir for now!

All things bright and beautiful!

As I work on this blog I want to be intentional in putting out there the plans for moving ahead for the coming year. This way the world knows it and I'm accountable for it!!

A few more of the steps in the next year are going to be a total revamp of our website. We are looking into software that will allow us to manage and operate the website ourselves so we can have regular updates and post pictures quickly after new events. If you have recommendations for a program that would be great to use feel free to leave a comment.

Next, we are looking into floral design classes and are in touch with the Floral Design Institute in Portland, Oregon. The option to design and create my own floral work would greatly increase the business and separate Hand in Hand. Doing flowers has always been something I've loved and had a knack for. Now whilst learning the mechanisms behind the art I can create some of the new and fascinating ideas I have swirling around in my head! I haven't spoken with wholesalers yet but I'm also hoping that I will be able to pass on some of my savings to my clients through these services.

We are also looking for ideas for places to volunteer our event planning services for the 2010 year. If you know of an organization or corporation looking for this kind of help please leave me a comment.

This year will definitely be a huge venture. But we are looking forward to the endless possibilities that some of these changes will make to the foundations of Hand in Hand.

Au Revoir for now!

TA DA! Hand in Hand has entered the world of the Blog!

Hello Big World!

We're just getting our toes wet! It's our very first blog ever! We'll keep it brief and share just a bit about the upcoming year of plans for Hand in Hand Events.

Well, first of all we've semi-changed our name! We've always been called Hand in Hand Bridal. While wedding planning is a huge part of our company we have spent the last year branching out into other events. Thus the new business name. Hand in Hand Event Planning Services!!!

In the next year we are working on creating a network of wedding vendors that live and work right here in my town of Springboro. There's quiet a good number of us and I would love to get us all together to share knowledge and wisdom in regards to the industry.

We are also in the process of launching an educational and fun event called "Night With The Pros". Brides will be able to join us for a night of wedding planning tips and tricks, face to face time with experts in the local wedding market, and a step by step DIY instructional time. Everyone goes away smarter, savvier and with tons of great inspirations. Keep your eyes/ears open for more news and dates!
