on the radio..... ohhhhh, on the radio...

I was soooo nervous and excited Thursday morning (9/2/2010) as I arrived at the radio station.  I had received a call after I had written one of the DJs about a caller's comment on the show, and was asked to come in and help answer his upcoming wedding questions and share with listeners various wedding etiquette "rules."

I was there 7-8 AM and during intermittent breaks we talked about topics such as, Is it okay not to invite children to your wedding/reception?, How much should I spend on a wedding gift for the couple?, What is appropriate attire for guests attending a wedding?, and wedding no-nos like, Guests, Turn OFF your cell phones during the ceremony...do not text, do not take pictures!, Guests, please ask the Photographers if you can piggyback off their photo shoot before you snap pictures!, and Whomever is listed on the invitation envelope is invited...it's not okay to invite other people (children or dates) and write them in on your RSVP. 

I had so much information that I wanted to share, but the breaks were only about 2-5 minutes in length...time flies... and the two DJs were sharing their comments as well, plus we had a few call-ins too.  I had a blast and am hoping I helped listeners be more aware.  I left a practical gift of Thank You notes and a Bride's Thank You handbook for the groom-to-be and his Lady.  (One MUST remember to write and mail-off those thank you notes for all the generous wedding gifts)!! 

 It was such an incredible opportunity/experience and my Thanks goes out to Fotsch and McClain's Morning Buzz, Power 96.5 here in Springfield, MO!!!!   www.facebook.com/fotsch.mcclain    www.power965.com
