A playful guide (fight plan?) for people who feel like they’re doing all the hard work and just want a little input for Pete’s sake!
Unless you’re doing all your wedding and reception planning as a tag team, the hardest part of finalizing your wedding plans might be selling your fiancé on your decisions. But you’ve done all the research, you’d consulted all the experts (maybe a Facebook Group or three) and have picked just the right way to hold your reception. Now, you have to convince your fiancé you’ve found the perfect reception venue. Sometimes that’s not as easy as knocking over a tomato can.
Don’t worry. This blog will arm you with all the details to share, so that you can put up a successful fight. Because if you don’t, then it’s back to square one, and the stress of searching for the perfect reception venue continues.
Ding! Ding! Here we go.
Round 1 – Put on a Good Show
A picture tells a thousand words and starting with photos is usually a good idea. Find the best images of the venue, (probably a combo from the venue’s website, the sales literature and user generated content on social media) and put them all in one place. This way you can come out swinging with a phrase such as, “Check out how incredible it looks”.
Don’t go overboard with 100 pictures. Eight to ten is plenty. The highlights are what you’re really going for. Make sure all their possible questions are answered visually, and it should be smooth sailing from here on out.
Round 2 – Hit ‘em with the Menu
Once you’ve let the pictures butter them up, it’s time to pepper a couple jabs at their gut. The pictures of the space were a good start, but the menu should be pure gravy.
Point out your fiancé’s favorite appetizers, mains, sides and deserts. You should be well versed with their likes and dislikes, so it’s extremely important to make sure they’re built into the menu that you’ve worked out with the venue. Cover as many bases as possible so you won’t have to sugarcoat the offerings.
Round 3 – Bring Out the Big Guns
You’ve no doubt had an amazing coordinator at Gather After in your corner, right? So, if your life partner is starting to waffle on your choice, now it’s time to call for a little back up. Sealing the deal is all about relationships after all.
