Coffee Planner

Welcome to Debt-Free Wedding . . . the blog written by a father-of-the-bride and author of the books Your Beautiful Wedding on Any Budget and Before You Say "I Do". Join me here every week for new ideas on how to plan a low-budget or debt-free wedding!

Every now and again I run into a bride who is decidedly undecided about her wedding plans.  She wonders:  do I go with a traditional long-train and veil, or opt for something trendy?  What should the menu entail?  Where to honeymoon?

For these brides, I suggest a coffee intervention!

Here's how it works.  Gather a select group of 5-6 of your valued friends and family (the ones with great ideas and wit).  Take them out to coffee, and bring along your questions and ideas.

It's amazing how some caffeine and focus can turn and otherwise slow-moving wedding into a full-steam ahead affair.  Use the power of many to find direction and decision.  Or, as they say, two heads are better than one.

And even if you don't land all of the details of your wedding, you'll still have a great time.  Just don't forget to enjoy the coffee and the conversation.
