Do you have anything planned for the 5th December? Scratch it. As you're invited - whether literally or metaphorically - to a certain little bash to celebrate the launch of The Secret Quintessentially Weddings Guide. Whilst the 'party' itself will be jumping (and doubtless those antique chandeliers shaking - cripes) here at 29 Portland Place, we'd like to encourage you, our lovely readers, to partake of the fun at home and host your own Planning Party. That's right. Put on your sparkling finery, gather your wedding crew about you, shake yourself a cocktail, and raise a toast to a book that will help take all of those wedmin stresses away - and that we hope you'll love as much as we did making our masterpiece.

oo how exciting, a planning party! Definitely the most fun way to get those ideas bubbling away whilst sipping fizz.
ReplyDeleteWould probably recommend a designated-minute-taker though, in case some genius revelation is misted over in the morning fog!
The launch sounds fabulous... good luck!
