Email: query-bdbw@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Northwestern Mutual

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 10 October

Query:

I'm looking for a wedding planner and someone who recently got
married!

Article pitch:

Congratulations on your engagement! You might be wondering how
to plan for your wedding next month or next year when you aren't
sure what to expect. This article will talk about what to do
when you're planning for a wedding now or in the uncertain
future in order to allow you to have a beautiful and safe
wedding that won't break the bank or lose you your deposits.

Possible Subtopics:

Decide on the size: Do you want to elope or do you want to have
a gathering that stays underneath the maximum gathering limit in
your state? This section will talk through how to figure out
what size of a wedding you want. If you plan on getting married
in the future, you might still want to curtail your plans to
cope with the uncertainty. This will also ensure that you can
keep from losing money on deposits if you have to cut back your
plans. Party in the Future: A lot of couples are having two
celebrations - one now with a small group where they get legally
married and one in the future when they will be able to gather
all their friends and family together safely. This section will
talk through how to plan both of those parties.

Be Careful with Bookings and Deposits: Before you book anything,
be sure to read through the booking and deposit rules. Will you
be able to get your money back? Under what circumstances? Be
sure you know before you sign.
