Welcome to Day 3!
Feeling overwhelmed yet? Don’t STRESS OUT
Relax and take a break. Get some inspiration.
This is FUN Day, sort of a rest day & a catch-up day, but also a breakthrough day!
Day 3 Assignments
Accomplish all of these tasks by the end of the day
{well… by the end of tomorrow…}
Project Blocks | Assignment 1
Do you have a Wedding Vision yet? Or even better, a Pinterest Board?
{I’m sure you already do…}
Well if not {if you haven’t had one for the last 5 years or more} it is officially time to start one! There is truly no better place to get inspired and keep all of your ever-changing inspirations organized. GEG has a Pinterest for you to FOLLOW.
We’ve even separated our Boards into convenient Project Blocks…
What are these Project Blocks you speak of Kandice?!
It’s officially time to let you in on our BIG Wedding Planning secret…
Project Blocks are how we break down your wedding style, design and set up into manageable pieces, assignments and “recipes” for Big Day success.
You can absolutely do this all on your own, in a notebook, your own spreadsheet or unique system. We have created a Project Block Workbook series that walks you through the development of each one…
All Weddings have “Project Blocks” that need attention, have tasks and will be styled, we’re just the only one’s speaking this GEG language… Your Gift Table is what we call Project Block 3, your Favors are Project Block 5, how you two will leave your wedding, get to a hotel room and sleep {finally} on your wedding night is Project Block 27. Projects are numbered in order of your wedding day from Zero being your Bridal Dressing Room to 30 being our Headquarters and break down strategy.
Read ALL ABOUT our Project Block System HERE and perhaps consider our Project Block Workbook
{since we’ve already organized them for you… and linked them to all our blog posts…}
Today’s Assignment:
Jump on Pinterest and create a new board called Project Blocks. Go through our entire list and pin some ideas for all Project 0-29.
Index Cards: Create a list for each of your 29 Project Blocks
Coordinator Confession: Often, when we are invited to our clients’ Pinterest Wedding Boards they are saturated with Project 0 and 13. They are missing crucial details and wait too long or even forget to plan other Project entirely. Make sure your pins cover you full wedding day.
Happy Pinning Today!
{… see… our homework is fun!}
Set up Headquarters
You know those times when it’s better to start at the end so that you can better prepare for the beginning? This is one of those times… Headquarters, as it is known in our System, because on the Big Day, at the end of the night it is this space that sets everything up for success. That will all make much more sense when you read the BLOG POST.
After you’ve read the Blog Post and understand the purpose of Headquarters at your Wedding Venue on the Big Day, think about translating that information into a usable space in your own home for PRIOR to the Big Day.
Now that you’re engaged, pretty little things will start trickling in… You may receive gifts or even that special “something borrowed” right away. Rest assured, we have a place for it! You certainly don’t want any of those little pieces wandering off or getting lost especially if your Big Day is more than a year away.
Find a place in your home, a closet, spare bedroom or even under the bed, where you can access it easily and everything will remain in one place.
Snag some grocery bags and start separating items into areas of your wedding where they will exist, Welcome Table, Altar, Wedding Night Suite, etc
Not sure what all those separate areas are? Not to worry… we’ve got you covered and we’ll walk you through all that soon! {psssst… we call them Project Blocks}
