Interview 1 Reflection

What is the most important thing I learned from the interview and why? 
In order to become a successful wedding planner, my interviewee has advised me to take classes that will help me in the long run.  Some classes she mentioned taking were floral arrangement and ROP.  Most importantly, she has encouraged me to take business classes since weddings are all about running your own business.

5 Minute Presentation Rough Draft

Objective:  Explain one of the duties as a wedding planner… which is making and sending invitations.

Procedure:

1. Introduce myself and my topic
2. Discuss types of wording for an invitation (i.e.  basic wording, wording for a non-traditional wedding, wording for divorced or blended families)
3. Give some money saving tips on invitations    
4. Conclude by restating one of the responsibilities of a wedding planner and answer any questions that are relevant to my topic.

Check for Understanding:

After the presentation I plan to quiz the class on the different types of wording.

Resources/Materials:

I am planning to make a chart on how to word an invitation.  Or maybe make a large invitation.  

Interview Check

Who are you interviewing and why?
I chose to interview Joyce Valdez.  She is a day-of wedding coordinator of Cattura Events.

You've been assigned 5 questions, what other questions would you like to ask your interviewee?

I would like to ask how long she has been in the business and what inspired her to become a wedding planner.  I'd also ask how she established connections with vendors and if she took any classes that would help her launch her career.
