Do I have to pull the posts FROM THIS THREAD up to show you the negatives, or can you find them yourself?
Or, am I misunderstanding you, again?

I had another prospective wedding client call last night and one of her questions was if she could peek in on an event. Is there a website or magazine that is recommending stuff like this? I've been wondering where that question comes from. Typically, when I put it into the perspective of professionalism and the whole idea of well what if someone crashed her wedding, the point is taken. I'm just wondering where this idea comes from. :sqconfused::sqerr:
Who was asking how to handle it? (I think I missed something there, sorry.)
I asked where people might be getting such an idea from, because it seems like I have had more people ask recently. Some people suggested that bridal magazines and the Knot website still suggest this.
Does anybody else have any other thoughts on where this might be coming from? Wedding planners/consultants, perhaps? I doubt it's a WED Guild thing.
Thoughts?

Hmmmm, negatives of inviting people to visit somebody else's wedding, hmmmm ... How about these?
1. It is not your place to invite someone to someone else's party. Doing that is just plain old tacky.
2. It is a very formal event and they show up in cut-offs, tank tops, and flip-flops.
3. The first thing your prospects do is hit the bar.
4. The first thing your prospects do is hit the food line.
5. You're in the middle of introductions, they show up and interrupt.
6. The precious little darling they brought along starts running around the dance floor like a crazed lune.
7. The preciuous little darling they brought along decides to sample the wedding cake and destroys it.
And, the list goes on.
And now for some anecdotal evidence...
One venue in these parts that is still on my black list invites their prospective clients in to visit a wedding in progress. All of the above has been experienced at this venue.

Please, please, please keep up, we are talking about the negatives of video. Not of invitations.

Hmmmm... Negatives of video... None that I can think of.
I have a Sony camera that does both still and video. I use it at most events to take video. I have several DVDs that I take to interviews that have examples of our work at the event, montages that we've produced, and photos. That usually closes the sale.
Mike:
These conversations sometimes go in multiple directions... why don't YOU keep up. And realize YOU'RE not the only one in a discussion, nor are you controlling, or directing it.
Apparently, I'm not the only one who misunderstood your post. Thanks for biting my head off, simply to ask for a clarification.
I put "Mike" on this post, so it's clear who I'm addressing and what I'm talking about. More clarity on your part would be appreciated.

Wanna bet?Apparently, I'm not the only one who misunderstood your post.
Wanna bet?
What would you guys think of this question (which I often ask):
Tell me about an event where everything didn't go perfect, what did you do to fix the situation?
Can you provide a reference where everything didn't go perfectly as planned?
