Congratulations on your engagement!
Right now, you’re probably mulling over pinterest getting theme ideas, looking at dresses, and putting together your vision for your special day. And when all of those details are carefully chosen, it’s time to start planning your guest list.
So many variables to consider. Who should come to the wedding? Should I invite my boss? Is his uncle ned coming from Arkansas? And of course, when to send wedding invitations.
If you’re planning your wedding, chances are, you’re about a year out from the big day. And there’s a whole lot that happens between now and then. But when it comes to wedding invitations, especially with COVID lingering in the background, it’s all about timing.
Sending out your invitations a year out is just too far away. A lot can happen in a year. People move, change jobs, life happens. Most wedding professionals recommend that you send out wedding invitations between 6-8 weeks out.
This gives you the ability to really think about your guest list and really make sure that everyone you want to attend is a part of the special day. 6-8 weeks should really give your guests ample time to make plans to attend and in the end, can give your caterer a better picture of what the menu looks like.
Remember, there’s always a 20% chance all of the guests might not be able to attend. So if you invite 100 guests, it is likely that only 80 will be able to attend. So if you over inflate your guest lists by about 20%, you’ll be more likely to have the number you’re shooting for.
Connecticut Community Foundation at Aria
Connecticut Community Foundation at Aria
This past Wednesday, we were invited to help the Connecticut Community Foundation celebrate and empower women in our community. It was a wonderful event with a powerful message.
The Connecticut Community Foundation is a charitable organization that raises funds to assist the citizens of the greater Waterbury and Litchfield County area. Everything from meals on wheels and funding for handicap access for the disabled and elderly to the womens fund and beyond. But on this occasion, we were rasing awareness and funding for the women’s fund which helps disadvantaged women and youth grow and prosper by putting them in touch with programs such as the YWCA and work programs that eventually lead to careers.
Following some mingling and a delightful dinner service at Aria, the stories of many young women were told and thanks were given to the many women who were influential role models to their individual successes.
Our services for the event included live audio for guest speakers as well as music during dinner service as well as audiovisual services for the short film shown at the event as part of our events production and live audio offerings.
For the past 5 years, it has been a great honor and pleasure to help the Connecticut Community Foundation with their continued mission to help others and be a good neighbor in the community. Congratulations to all of the women who have grown to become such an inspiration to many.
