Planning Buddies

I am lucky enough to have two friends who are also getting married this year, one two months before me and the other two months after me.  It is nice to have others to share the experience and be able to relate with, because let's face it, the guys just don't get into it like we brides do.  Not only is it more fun to have others to plan with, but it has saved the three of us money too!  We have found that interviewing venues together has worked to our advantage- companies want one bride's business, but to get three at one time is golden to them.  They were definitely willing to wheel and deal with us.  The three of us ended up booking the same limo and DJ company and got a great deal.  Sure, there are other friends and family who have offered a helping hand because they are already married, but being at the same stage with your friends is much more beneficial...now we have each other's weddings to look forward to too!  And thanks, Kimmie, for being the guinea pig and having your wedding first... now I can find out ahead of time if the DJ sucks and book another one!
