5 Tips for Your Stay at Home Valentine’s Day

- written by

Valentine’s Day is looking a bit different for most of us this year, but what a beautiful opportunity to create special and unique moments for our relationships. Here are some of our suggestions for the perfect Stay at Home Valentine’s Day! 

Prepare Your Meal

Hire a personal chef or prepare a lavish menu together with your partner. Think about your very first meal together, or your favorite meal in your favorite destination. Think about the cocktail that stirs up emotion and the dessert that takes you back to a cherished memory. Treat yourselves to multiple courses, bottomless wine and indulge in your love story. 

Set Your Table

Whether cute and flirtatious or elegant and romantic, the choice is all yours! We recommend you set your table with a table linen, chargers and flowers to create your look. Don’t forget the candles! And to top it off, be sure to print menus to use and scrapbook for great memories of your Stay at Home Valentine’s Day. 

Dress the Part

As much as we have enjoyed the extension of the lounge wear trend, tonight is not the night. Get all dolled up, women put on high heels, men put on a tie, and strut your stuff to your dining room table. Don’t forget to put on perfume and cologne. 

Create the Mood

Prepare a great Spotify playlist which includes wedding day songs, favorite soundtracks, dedications and special songs that tell your love story. We hope it sparks a walk down memory lane and a renewed love for your journey of where you’ve been and where you desire to go. 

Teach Something

Lastly, we encourage you to teach each other something fun and personal. This could be as simple as your salad dressing or has meaningful as your love language. Consider teaching a TikTok dance or explaining the meaning behind your morning routine. Practice a yoga pose together or buy a stock together to invest in your future. Whatever it might be, we hope you’ll walk in each other’s shoes and develop a strong appreciation for one another.

Insure a Day of Wedded Bliss

Now, more than ever, it is highly recommended to obtain wedding insurance as soon as you secure your wedding date at your chosen wedding venue. Wedding insurance protects you from so many things pertaining to your wedding day. For instance, you can gain protection from cancellations, gifts, jewelry, rented property, loss of deposits and weather! We all plan for a perfect wedding day, but relieve some stress and insure it. 

Among the many insurance types available, Wedding Liability Insurance is most common, and at some venues, required. It protects you from real life scenarios like red rose petals staining marble floors or a guest injuring himself on the dance floor. Wedding Liability Insurance should cover bodily injury, personal injury and property damage caused by a covered accident during your wedding. 

It is also so smart to have Wedding Cancellation Insurance including Postponement. This type of wedding insurance protects the nonrefundable expenses incurred when your wedding must be cancelled or postponed for certain reasons beyond your control. From military leave of absence to severe sickness, there are a number of unplanned scenarios and events that may put a wrench in your wedding plans. Wedding Cancellation Insurance will put your mind at ease and protect your investment. 

Among the many other wedding insurance types available, select from a la carte options that are important to you. Additional coverage against loss or damaged wedding photographs and videos, wedding gifts, wedding rings or wedding day attire may also be available. 

A wedding insurance policy may cost you $150-$500 depending on the amount of coverage requested. Shop around because costs can vary significantly. We provide two recommendations below, but you may also want to start with your own home insurance to see if a bundle might be available. Every insurance policy and every wedding scenario is different. Please be sure to talk to your insurance agent, review your policy in detail and understand every line of your policy. You won’t regret it!

Our Production Schedule Has Final Say!

- written by

As your wedding plans begin to weave together toward the final months before your wedding, vendors will request your details in many different forms. Your venue coordinator will request your desire for the set up of the room and menu details with service times so she can create a banquet event order, better known as a BEO. Your photographer and videographer will request a family photo list and suggest locations with the best lighting so they can create a photography timeline. Your band or DJ will request special song choices, names of your wedding party for the grand entrance and traditional moments you want announced to create his run of show. 

So, who’s timeline trumps the other? Well, my friend, that’s where we come in! Our production schedule is the document that has final say. We take all the information and details from the BEO, photography timeline, run of show and other pertinent information and put it into one neatly designed document which gets approved by all vendors involved. It lists the very first thing happening on your wedding day and chronologically lists every moment thereafter. It states when hair and makeup will begin, if there will be a first look or not, when hors d’oeuvres should be served, what is the signature cocktail, the wedding party processional lineup, how the couple will be introduced, will we be saving the top tier of the cake, will there be a grand entrance, etc., etc.

Vendors are more than welcome to use their condensed versions, but the production schedule allows vendors to understand the overall picture of the day rather than just their fraction. The wedding planner’s production schedule is much more than the wedding day timeline, it brings your vendors together for a common goal and invites vendors to work as a team. It opens up conversation and thoughtfulness throughout the wedding day. The production schedule is essential to a successful day!  

Contact us today so we can help you create your production schedule and confirm all the details you’ve been scheming for months for your vendor team. Our Las Vegas wedding day of coordination services are highly recommended at many venues because it has proven its success over many years. We look forward to hearing all about your wedding day details and creating a production schedule for you.
