Real Couple Wednesday: Clayton and Molly

Clayton & Molly

In honor of the fabulous engagement party these two had last week, we are featuring this 2014 Stratford Events' couple on the blog today! Clayton proposed to Molly on a stand up paddle board in the middle of Town Lake, so it was only appropriate to have their engagement photos taken on one. We just LOVE this engagement session captured by Debra Gulbas Photography and can't wait to see what is in store for this "Aggie marries a Longhorn" wedding next February! Congrats you two and thanks for choosing Stratford Events to plan your special day!

Tuesday Tip: Start building your guest list early!

You're engaged... now what?

One of the first steps in planning your wedding (other than hiring a planner ahhhem Stratford Events) should be building a guest list. It's one of the most important aspects in planning, but most couples overlook this task or don't take it as seriously as they should.

Here are three reasons why you should build your guest list early in the planning process:

1. The guest count is a huge factor to consider when searching for the perfect venue.

2. When creating a budget, it is necessary to know how many guests you plan to invite. This determines the amount of meals that have to be ordered, chairs that need to be rented, tables that have to be provided, etc.

3. The guest list can be a very stressful topic. It is best to have conversations early on regarding your guest list and how many people each family can invite.

Contact Stratford Events if you have any questions about building your guest list!
