Summer 2005
	PaPerPlay Productions was created a little over three years ago as a small way to add creativity to the wedding industry and has since grown into a company that plays a major role in many of the valley’s most fun and unique weddings!  As PaPerPlay Productions grows in the future, we will always be on the lookout for the newest ideas and styles while maintaining the elegance and sentimentality every wedding deserves.  With summer here and fall to quickly follow, many brides in the valley are getting down to the last few months of planning.  Here are a few pointers to help fall brides stay on track, organized and loving it all! 1.)        Get organized!  You may have started your planning process with a nice binder with sections for every vendor and detail but there is a good chance that over the last several months, it has gone from organizational tool to a cluttered contraption.  Take the time to go through all of your papers, packets, brochures, flyers and notes and discard those that are no longer of relevance to the big day.  As you organize everything, start a note tablet of things you need to do such as finalizing details with all of your vendors, make final decisions, schedule appointments and so on.  By making a list and getting it all on paper, you will feel better equipped to make a game plan and get everything done.  Also, feel free to make a separate list delegating responsibilities.  Your fiancé, family and friends are most likely willing to give up plans for a weekend and help you accomplish everything.  Remember, your wedding day isn’t just important to you, it’s also important to those who love you. 2.)        Don’t wait to the last minute!  Remember, over 30,000 weddings take place in the valley every year so it's important to book your “last minute” vendors in advance or you may not have your pick!  Some of the vendors you will decide on towards the end of your planning may be beauty professionals, transportation such as a limo or a specialty vehicle, and a suite at a local resort for your wedding night.  Booking in advance not only gives you your choice of professionals to choose from, but also gives you an opportunity to shop around and find the vendor that best suits your needs and works within your price range. 3.)         Make time for you and those close to you!  You may feel that planning your wedding has put all the focus on you as a bride among your family and close friends.  The truth is, the focus has been on your wedding and you as a bride, not on you as a person.  Take some time before the wedding to have non-wedding occasions with your mom, sister, bridesmaid and fiancé.  Go to lunch with your maid of honor and find out what’s the latest with her.  Have a nice dinner date with your fiancé and rent some movies you have missed due to all the planning.  Take your mom out to a pottery painting shop or scrapbooking class.  Whatever you do, try to make these occasions not about the wedding and try not to talk about the wedding.  Take this time to just nourish your relationships.  It will make your wedding day that much sweeter!
