Rock These Savings!
Party planner Jes Gordon has a hot new book out called Party Like a Rock Star—we like the sound of that! And Jes has her head on straight when it comes to cost-cutting for weddings. Here, a few tidbits of wisdom:
- “Don’t feel obligated to serve every alcohol under the sun. It is OK to limit it to just beer and wine and perhaps a specialty drink of choice. Create a fabulous signature drink that all your guests will enjoy.”
- “You can cut down on food, a little. Folks can’t dance when they’re stuffed to the gills. Do a nice tasting menu of little bits of scrumptious foods rather than a side of cow on a plate!”
- “Throwing cocktail receptions instead of elaborate sit-down dinners is really hot right now! Passed apps with drinks + awesome DJ or band = a mighty good time—and freedom for guests to roam around and really have fun.”
|
- “Trade in the four-tier cake. It all started with the cupcake thing, and since then, desserts are moving further away from the traditional tiered cake to more fun ideas like mini assorted desserts and stylish s’mores or candy buffets.”
Look for Jes Gordon’s book at BarnesandNoble.com, Amazon.com, Target.com or Borders.com.
