Introducing Felicity C Weddings LLC Consultation & Gift Certificates!

I have wanted to be a wedding planner since I was 15 years old.  I love the logistics (it takes a special person to utter that phrase), all things wedding and most of all, I love helping people.  I have been so blessed to work with so many great clients and their families in the 2.5 years since I started my company.  But I still understand that hiring a wedding planner is not a financial option for many couples.  Couples who still need direction and professional assistance in perfecting their wedding vision.  

Well, I have found a solution!  I am super excited to announce the introduction of the professional consultation service for Felicity C Weddings LLC!  I am offering my planning services by the hour, so that I can meet with couples to discuss the specific areas of wedding planning that are giving them the most trouble.  It could be overall organization, wedding budget, contract review, vendor selection, site visits, decor choices, ceremony and/or reception logistics, timeline of the day, etc.  I will also be offering my planning documents a la carte to the hourly consult clients.  The consultation prices are $65/hour for phone or skype meetings and $75/hour for in person meetings.  Please see the FCW website for specific details.      

In addition to the consultation, I am also adding gift certificates!  Let your friends and family buy a portion or all of your package for you!  Of all the gifts on your registry, wedding planning should be on the top of your list- this is an incredible gift from a bridal party or the groomsmen.  Or if you are reading this and know of a recently engaged couple, give them the gift of peace of mind.  This applies to all clients; consultation, day of coordination, partial and full planning.

As a special discount to introduce these exciting additions to Felicity C Weddings LLC, I am offering a discount for anyone who contacts me and purchases in the month of December!  $15 off your first hourly consultation fee and $20 off any gift certificates!  This discount is not advertised on my website, so it will only be honored for those who mention it when contacting me.  Spread the word to family and friends then please contact me at felicitycweddings@yahoo.com to get started! 

After The Wedding: Anniversaries

It is very easy for couples and their families to get caught up in the wedding planning process and not think much about after the wedding.  Of course the marriage is for a lifetime, but beyond the items on the gift registry that should be used for a good number of years, the wedding anniversary can just become an excuse to go out to dinner after a few years. The excitement of your wedding day should always be remembered, especially on anniversaries.  But going through your guest book to read the warm wishes and advice from friends and family each year may lose its charm after a few anniversaries.

Enter Happily Ever AfterWords.  This idea is as brilliant as it is thoughtful- there are cards for anniversaries 1-50 which guests are asked to fill out, put in its envelope and put into the box.  The cards can be mailed to the guests with the invitation (Pro: guests have time to write a meaningful note, con: guests may lose or forget to bring card to wedding) or you can have the cards and box set up on a table at the reception.  Each anniversary, the couple reaches into the box and reads the card with the corresponding year.  HOW GREAT!  This is something new to look forward to each year with your spouse and you can even start a new book to keep each year's message.  This amazing gift is something personalized and really is the gift that keeps on giving.  A great idea for any engaged couples you may know.

To add my personal spin on things, I love the idea of the bride and groom taking time in the weeks before their wedding to write each other a couple of letters to be opened on their 1st, 5th, and 20th anniversaries.  They can write what they wish for each other, where they expect their lives to be at that point, or any personal messages.  Hope some of this can inspire you.  Enjoy!
