A Bridal Assistant Does So Much More Than A Wedding Planner. And Is Cheaper. by BridalAssistant(f): 10:10am On Jul 22, 2014 |
Think of your bridal assistant as your own personal assistant or secretary for every wedding related matter. A bridal assistant will not just plan your wedding for you, she'll also run all the necessary errands required in preparation for the wedding. For example: 1. Help you purchase and deliver your wedding gown and accessories (bags, shoes, bouquet, hair accessories, etc.) 2. Help organise your bridesmaids outfits and accessories and deliver it to them (whether you're purchasing or sewing) 3. Plan and organize your bridal shower and bachelor's eve. 4. Help with the purchase and delivery of wedding invitations. 5. Help in sending out bulk sms invitations. 6. Help your groom and his groomsmen in purchasing their outfits and delivering it to them. 7. Help you purchase your asoebi in bulk and deliver it to your guests. You don't need to spend money hiring an asoebi planner. 8. Help purchase your souvenirs, have them branded and delivered to you. And help hand them out to your guests. 9. Run errands to the printer/publisher for ceremony programs, reception programs and every other printing work that needs to be done. 10. Help your groom to purchase the bride price items and engagement letter and also gift-wrap them. You don't need to hire an "eru iyawo" decorator again. Also, we'll help you purchase the "return" gifts to be offered to the groom's family and also to gift-wrap them. 11. Run errands for you and your parents in many ways. * for instance if you want to pick up out of town guests and you've got nobody else available to do the job * if you need someone to purchase food and drink items to entertain guests. * help secure hotel accomodation for out of town guests. 12. Purchase your traditional wedding outfits and deliver them to you. 13. Purchase your outfits for your pre-wedding photoshoots. 14. Secure all the wedding vendors (food, drinks, desserts, photography, music, decoration, videography, waiters, ushers etc) and have regular discussions with them to ensure that they are up to speed on your tastes and desires before the wedding. Also we'll coordinate them on the wedding day and ensure that the wedding timeline is followed to the letter. 15. On the wedding day, you can trust your bridal assistant to receive your gift money and items from your guests and keep them secure and have them delivered to your home. 16. Oversee all activities to ensure that everything is properly taken care of. Whatever other errands you can think of as a bride or which your groom and parents need to run, we've got you covered. Our fees. Whilst many wedding planners will charge you as much as 20 percent of your budget as their fees (so on a budget of 1 million, expect to pay N200,000), we charge a flat rate of just N80,000. However. For weddings taking place between now and January 2015, we are offering our full-package services for just N65,000. With just N65,000, you get a personal assistant who will plan and organise your wedding as well run every kind of errand for you in preparation for your big day. Hurry up and call now to secure your own bridal assistant. 09097981908. Aprilconcierge.ng@gmail.com Cheers. |
