A closed or open Facebook group for Confetti?<\/h2>\n

The Confetti Facebook Group<\/a> is currently a closed group.\u00a0 It’s a great resource and wonderful way to interact with others, just like you, who are passionate about planning weddings for others.<\/p>\n

I’m seriously considering changing things up and making this an ‘open’ group, though.\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 Good idea or not?<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear your input, please.\u00a0 Feel free to post your comments, below or call the Confetti Listener Talkback line, anytime: 202-681-2126.<\/p>\n

Wedding Lingo<\/h2>\n

As you work with more couples and professional wedding vendors, you’ll, no doubt, hear lots of lingo and terms that you may or may not be familiar with.<\/p>\n

Here are five (5) words that every wedding planner should know:<\/p>\n

Wedding Industry Term #1: “PLUS PLUS<\/strong>“<\/span>\"wedding-words\"<\/h3>\n

When your caterer tells you and your client that the cost per person is “$30 ++”<\/em>, one\u00a0 ‘+’ refers to gratuity and the other ‘+’ is tax.<\/p>\n

Wedding Industry Term #2: ON-PREMISE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

This term is used to describe a venue and is often a way to distinguish the type of caterer that is contracted.<\/p>\n

An on-premise venue has its own kitchen and catering.\u00a0 Hotels, country clubs, restaurants and many wedding facilities\/full-service banquet halls are examples of on-premise sites.<\/p>\n

Wedding Industry Term #3: OFF-PREMISE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A venue that is contracted separately from the food that is being served at your client’s wedding is referred to as off-premise.\u00a0 When food is prepared at one location and transported to another site, the\u00a0 caterer is identified as an off-premise caterer.<\/p>\n

Wedding Industry Term #4: KICKBACK<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you’re planning weddings professionally, it’s just a matter of time before you hear this word.\u00a0 By definition, a kickback is a percentage of an invoice that is given to someone else (oftentimes, you, the wedding planner) who is influential in the decision-making\/buying process.<\/p>\n

If your client has hired and is paying you, directly, s\/he should know if you’re also receiving payment from the vendors that you’re recommending.\u00a0 Not disclosing this type of arrangement is unethical.<\/p>\n

Wedding Industry Term #5: FORCE MAJEURE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

This is a clause you MUST include within your wedding planner’s contract.\u00a0 Force Majeure is a french term (that means ‘superior force’) that exempts you from carrying out the terms of your contract because of extreme circumstances that you could not have foreseen.<\/p>\n

Have a local attorney help you with the specific wording for the portion of your wedding planner’s contract that includes this clause.<\/p>\n
