Let’s get honest, wedding planning is overwhelming. Most people only do it once, so it’s not something that you are a master at right away. At work & in life I’m all about streamlining processes to save myself time. I have text expanders at work, I have text edits for my blog posts & now I have templates for wedding planning that I’ll share with you to save you a bit of time.
If you haven’t read my previous post, be sure to do so- lots of good stuff linked there.
Here’s some of the useful templates I’ve used thus far to reach out to vendors
Wedding venues:
Hi there,
My name is NAME and I'm newly engaged just beginning to start dipping my toes in to planning.
We hope to get married next DATE or DATE (dates flexible) and we’d love to learn a bit more about your venue. Do you have a brochure you could send me with information about what packages you have available? We have a group of [# OF PEOPLE] people to invite and we’d love to host both our wedding ceremony and reception at the same location. We’d love to get an estimate for a [FRIDAY OR SATURDAY] wedding (venue cost, food and beverage minimum & avg price per person, along with any additional fees we could expect). Thanks for your consideration & we look forward to hearing back

Florists:
Hi there!
I’m reaching out as I’m newly engaged(yippee) and have just started reaching out to vendors for our upcoming wedding on DATE.
I’d love to get an estimate on florals. We are looking to have [NUMBER OF PEOPLE] people at our wedding at the [WEDDING VENUE].
We will likely have XXX bridesmaids, 1 bride, XXX corsages and XXX boutonnières needed. XXX arrangements at each table of XXX.
We might like a framing arrangement for the ceremony.
Possibly a few small arrangements at the bar/entry way if budget allows.
The style we love is light, airy, spring florals. We are open to your creative input and would love to see some options you may have.
Here’s our floral Pinterest board so you can get an idea:
If you have any pricing details you could share with us we’d love to learn more!
