Wedding planning or planning for a wedding has never been easy. Even when the services of an event planner are employed, it is still an uphill task. It is perhaps for this reason that it became necessary to set up a committee of Friends. Whatever the reason, many couples are grateful to the members of their committee of Friends.
A Committee of Friends refers to a couple selecting their friends to help plan the wedding and to ensure the smooth running of events on their big day. Behind every successful event, there is a good number of people working hard behind the scenes. Who's better suited for the job than the friends who know you, understand you and have helped you over time?
Role of the committee of Friends (C.O.F)
- Members of your committee of Friends are the ones you ask to keep tabs on all the vendors. You certainly do not want to have to deal with vendors on your big day. It is on your C.O.F to make sure the caterer arrives on time and delivers what was agreed on. Same as the decorator, the MC, DJ etc.
- Your C.O.F members are your backup. Are your ushers running late? Is valet service wack? Trust your friends to come to the rescue with quick alternatives or even do the job themselves.
- In some cases, the C.O.F members contribute financially towards the success of the event.
- The committee of friends also saves you from yourself in that they question every decision you make so you only do what's best and realistic.
- Those dance videos from weddings we love to watch on the gram? Yes, more than half the time, it was choreographed by members of the committee. So depending on your friends, videos from your wedding can trend.
- In this part of the world, we love to appear in uniform dresses for weddings, what is popularly called "Aso Ebi". You can always trust your committee of friends to break the bank and stun in their "Aso Ebi" outfits, adding colour to your day.
