Wedding Tip or Trick of the Week

It Never Hurts to Ask

I grew up in a home where the idea, "It never hurts to ask," prevailed. It was just common place to ask for what was desired.

Oddly enough, many time it resulted in actually getting what we wanted. Not in a selfish yucky way - but in a sincere request resulting in a sincere delivery of what was asked.

Now, it wasn't full proof - I did learn that as well - but more often than not it turned out positively, even if the answer was no.

In my younger years I often asked, "What if?" (also prevalent in my home growing up), but what I've learned more recently is if you're going to ask, "What if?" and let it stop you from moving in a direction that might otherwise be healthy or just enjoyable you need to answer that question.

Q: "What if I ask for a discount and the vendor says no?"
A: "They may say no - if they do then at least I'll have tried!" :)

That's the goal.

So, what does all this have to do with wedding planning? Take a chance, ask for what you really want. As my dad used to say, "Ask and you just might receive."
