Wedding Planner Pro Files

Ever encountered the puzzling silence after sending out wedding invitations? We all know the feeling, but our latest episode tackles the RSVP conundrum head-on with insights from wedding industry mavens, Laurie Hartwell and Krisy Thomas of the CWP Society. We dissect the bold strategy of a past bride's 'missed RSVP card' and debate its effectiveness in nudging those elusive responses from guests. Is it a necessary measure or a step too far? Let's navigate the tricky waters of wedding RSVP etiquette together and find out how to strike the perfect balance between courtesy and practicality.
The conversation takes a sobering turn as we address the recent and sudden shutdown of a venue. This heartbreaking scenario serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of plans and the ethical crossroads faced by businesses in crisis. Through the turmoil faced by displaced couples, we spotlight the ripple effects on the industry and the beacon of hope offered by local venues extending a helping hand. Together with our guests, we delve into the responsibilities of venue owners, debating the intersection of business acumen and moral obligation, and the lessons we can all learn from such industry upheavals.
