and I don’t even feel like that! having a day-of planner has taken a tremendous load off. I know you mentioned that you thought that would be helpful and I took it to heart and planned to ask one of my friends to do it, but xshub actually was the one to press for a professional to do it. He has meeting planners who work for him and he knows what goes in to having an event go off without a hitch. I fought it for awhile but I am so glad I gave in on it. It’s more just the IDEA of it than anything in particular that has me worked up.
Absolutely if it is in the budget it is worth it! I would do it if we were in that position again - having family and friends in town, plus helping get things/people to and from was a nightmare that would have been cut in half, at least, with someone handling those things.
