If I miss your call today, it's because I'm presenting to my kid's school at Career Day! Can't wait to tell these 5 and 6 year old what it's like to be a multifaceted career mama who plans events and designs/organizes spaces.

Nate Bargatze's take on his cheap wedding is hilarious! But it's also a great reminder that you get what you pay for!

It's been a while since I've done one of these, but I was inspired to make this one after I saw this frog picture used in a different meme.
Ain't this the truth? Why do we leave out the groom's father from so many awesome parts of the ceremony? He walks in and walks out.
We love when couples find ways to include their family members as much as possible. We're happy to guide our couples through the process and suggest some ideas to make it more equitable for everyone.

A few weeks ago, we wrapped up a fundraising campaign for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in support of our friend and Visionary of the Year contestant, Cate Paris. We also sponsored the event through an ad in the virtual program. We love the idea of the virtual program because it's eco-friendly AND it can be shared far and wide by simply posting the link! Join me in thanking ALL the sponsors for the event. If you ever have an opportunity, please be sure to reach out to these businesses whenever the need arises. You'll feel great when you collaborate with a service provider who supports the community and does their part to help put an end to terrible diseases.

Happy Earth Day! For 20 years, Plan It Perfect has been dedicated to reducing the negative footprint that events leave on the environment. We love this blog with a few tips on eco-friendly event decor ideas.
Our own personal tip: the most wasteful thing we see is packaging! You'll want your decor to be secure during transport, but be mindful of how much plastic and Styrofoam is used for your design elements.

In the ever-evolving world of event planning, staying ahead of the trends is essential to create memorable experiences. With a growing focus on environmental consciousness, the incorporation of eco-friendly and sustainable party decor has become a dominant force in the industry. From biodegradable t...

One of the most memorable wedding moments happened exactly 9 years ago. The best man accidentally left the rings in the Uber, but they were discovered by the driver and returned to the couple in the middle of the ceremony, just in time for the ring exchange. The moment of relief was beautifully captured by . (That's my arm after handing the rings over.)
Mike couldn't wait to show me the picture, so he sent me this screenshot. 🤣
Happy anniversary, Lauren and Nikolas!!!
