As professional event planners, the consultants at Emma Grace Designs have created a number of systems and timelines specifically designed to make our jobs a little easier. Whether it is a checklist, a questionnaire or a timeline, these systems, coupled with our experience, help us guide every bride through the wedding planning process without the work and worry that they would face in doing it alone. That is what we are paid to do.

In creating the  Emma Grace Cheat Sheet, we have compiled these insider tips into a number of vendor specific documents and resources to help you navigate the wedding planning process as well. Alongside every vendor category, you will find four buttons: "Things to Consider," "Ways to Save," "Glossary" and the "Etiquette Expert."

Your "Things to Consider" are divided into three categories of questions and, well, things to consider including "Before You Go," "Questions to Ask" and "Don't Forget." These tips will help you better narrow your top picks, navigate the fine print and make the best vendor picks.

"Ways to Save" includes tips and ways to maximize your event budget. We know that while your wedding day is a personal commitment, it is also a financial commitment. These "Ways to Save" will help you get the most for your money.

The "Glossary" includes industry specific definitions of terms and phrases you will come to know well as you plan your wedding.

The "Etiquette Expert" is a direct link to the consultants at Emma Grace Designs. Whether you have invitation wording concerns or questions about what to do with an overbearing future-mother-in-law, we've heard it all and have advice and suggestions to help you survive and even enjoy the wedding planning process. This is an unlimited service for all Cheat Sheet subscribers. All email inquiries will be answered within 2 business days.
