Money Saving Tip - General Planning

Tap into your resources! Now you are thinking what is she talking about? I'm talking about your friends, family or colleagues.

You may not know it now, but there are aspiring singers, artists, florists, etc among us. Find out by asking. This can save you lots of money when it comes to your event.

But beware! Have them show you a sample of their work and if appropriate, audition for you. If they are not good, don't be afraid to pass on their services. Shoddy or substandard products or services is not worth any discount!

Make sure that they are also responsible and dependable. Meaning be on time and deliver on their promise. Nothing can ruin a relationship faster than a broken promise. Let them know that if they can't come through, to let you know right away.

Until next time, eventfully yours!
