Hello WB readers! It’s been a couple of years since my last entry and I never finished my recaps, but there was always one tip I always wanted to share…it’s treating your vendors well. I’ve helped out at a couple weddings after mine where I’ve told my bride friends to make sure to make goodie bags, not only for their wedding party, but also for vendors. I’ve recently coordinated a girlfriend’s wedding and had a sit down with the vendors afterwards…and wouldn’t you know it, it makes a world of a difference.

I made some the night before our wedding because I wanted EVERYONE that helped out for our wedding to know that we appreciated them and their hard work. A little goodie bag goes a long way to make sure that they are taken care of during the day, especially since our wedding was two days long.

I really wanted them to feel like they were hanging out with us during the day and having fun with us, versus it being just work. I made goodie bags for our videographers, photographers, the DJ, friends helping set up, and of course, our wedding party. I also personalized it, so they knew it was especially put together for them.

Here a few photos of our goodies bags. I had a lot of random snacks, hopefully some that gave them an extra kick should they have felt they needed an extra sugar pick me up: trail mix, fruit snacks, crackers, granola bars, m&m’s, fruit bar, gum, Red Bull, and water were just some of the items. I’m pretty sure they all enjoyed them since some of these photos used were from a mini shoot by our photogs with the bags.

Happy Vendors = happy wedding party.
