Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose your bag template. Add some edibles. Stash a souvenir. Get to pampering. Be your guests' tour guide. Make it personal. Include a thank you.

Answer: As a general rule of thumb, you have three standard choices: the gift bag, the tote, or the box. With technology nowadays, they're all good contenders -- anything can be personalized, jazzed up, and made impressive. It's just a matter of taste! The only real thing to take into consideration is that your goodie bag should match your theme. Get creative! Are you at the beach? Use a pail! Does your wedding have a vintage-y feel? Use an antique-y box. Stay consistent -- this goodie bag is one of the first things you have at your disposal to set the tone. Because everyone loves food -- especially if they just got in from a long trip full of peanuts and sips of watered-down coffee. Little munchies are best, and they're even better if they're from the area the wedding is taking place or your hometown. Get local! What springs to mind when you think of where you are? Whatever isn't available in the minibar is good -- fresh fruit is a great, cheap addition. But sweets are also always, always, always welcome. Think granola bars, chocolate, or even homemade baked goods! You want something you can give your guests that they can remember forever. What's more perfect than a souvenir? Not necessarily of your wedding, but of the entire trip your guests are making. If you're having it in your hometown, have it be along the lines of your wedding's theme. If you're having a destination wedding, have it be indicative of the destination. In Paris? A little Eiffel Tower. In Texas? A star, of course. If you have a few children in attendance, you may want to opt for a toy trinket in lieu of a souvenir -- or in addition to! A mini plane, yo-yo, just a simple gadget that says you're thinking of the entire family. This is a long weekend for your guests, too. They're exhausted from the traveling and mingling and probably staying up all night. Have some sort of "recovery" aid in your goodie bag for your guests that are going to greet the sunrise. Here are some ideas:  Advil/Tylenol A sleep mask Lotion/bath salts/soap, etc. Water/coffee/juice or other morning goodies Your guests who have traveled all the way here are probably looking to do more than just attend your wedding. Get them going on their excuse-for-a-vacation by offering them some things in their goodie bag that will make their trip that much easier. Here's a list to get you thinking:  A map (with dots or stickers indicating places to check out) An itinerary for the wedding weekend Disposable camera Coupons Postcard Brochures List of local gems (with reviews) At the end of the day, this is your wedding -- not some corporate event you're sponsoring. So get to personalizing your welcome bags! Get the outside of your tote designed, have water bottle labels made, and start scouring the Internet for labels for your goodies. If it's something they can keep forever, try to avoid having something like "CHAN AND JAN 4EVER" plastered on the side. Stick to a symbol and the date, maybe your initials, when you're dealing with the tote or the box -- something that's utilitarian in the future. You don't want them to throw it out in two weeks, you know? Because without your guests, your wedding would not go how you want it to go. They've spent money and time making sure your day is special, so thank them! Include a nice little note in the bag saying how much you appreciate that they're there.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Meet with the couple. Go over the wedding schedule with the couple. Ask the couple what they want. Visit the wedding site to scope out potential shots. Create a shot list. Write a payment contract. Ask the couple for a pre-wedding shoot.

Answer: Show them your portfolio to make sure they like your style. Bring something to write with so you can take notes to create a plan of action. Create a timeline of when and where the must-have moments are happening: when one of them is walking down the aisle, the dinner, the cake cutting, the first kiss, the first dance, the toss of the bouquet. For outdoor weddings, know when and where everyone will be during the golden hour. This is the timeframe after sunrise or before sunset when natural lighting is warmest and softest. Weddings tend to involve a large amount of family and friends who are not all together very often. Maybe the couple wants a picture of a special uncle and niece together. Having this conversation will avoid the couple getting upset over any missed opportunities. Know who the couple’s VIPs are. That way you can showcase the moments the couple and their families want to remember. Search for picture opportunities and settings you want to use. This will also help you get an idea of the natural lighting of the area. If you can visit the site with the couple, you will get a better insight to what they want. You will also be able to describe to them ideas of shots you might have. The couple should be the primary audience you have in mind when developing this list. Based on the information you’ve gathered, you should have a concrete idea of the couple’s needs, the timeline of the day, and the most important moments to capture. This should also include how many proofs the couple will receive, when they will be received by, moments of the wedding to be covered, times and addresses of any locations you are expected to go (rehearsal dinner, after-party, multi-location weddings), contact info, copyrights, and an itemized payment plan. Contract templates can be found for free online. This will provide them the opportunity to get some unique, intimate shots they will not otherwise have time for after the wedding. Ask them if they’d like to dress casually or in the clothes they plan to wear for the wedding.
