Who's Invited?!

It can be a very hard task when trying to decide who to invite on your big day. Well Luxurious Affairs has found an easier way to work on your guest list, which is by adding names in order of importance.

When in doubt, leave it out! Remember this is YOUR day and YOUR debt.

List 1:
· The bridal party
· Clergy/officiant (and spouse, if applicable)
· Parents and grandparents, step relatives, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, and first cousins

List 2: (Please notice that everything on this list begins with close)
· Close family friends of the bride and groom
· Close friends of the bride and groom
· Close business associates of the bride and groom
· Close business associates of the families

List 3:
· Extras: Extended relatives and other people that did not make the prior lists

*Additional Rule: Only invite people that you will be inviting to your wedding to share in your engagement party and/or bridal shower.

Get out and experience the world of weddings!

Before you head out, we have a few tips for making your experience one that is worthwhile.

Tip #1: Wear comfortable shoes to the show since you will be doing a lot of walking and standing in place.

Tip #2: If you go to the show right when it opens, head to the back of the room so that you can avoid the line of people chatting with the vendors in the front.

Tip #3: There are many contests to enter for free giveaways or discounts, so make it easy to enter by bringing adhesive address labels or make your own that include your Name, Address, Phone Number, Email Address and Wedding Date.

Tip #4: You will usually receive a lot of wedding magazines, flyers, cds, etc. So make sure that you have a sturdy bag to carry everything. Often you will receive a large shopping bag at the entrance, but you don't want to rely on that.

Tip #5: Collect as much information as you can from the vendors to take home and review.
