Are you one of my clients?
Is your wedding over two months away?
Do you like surprises?
If you answered "yes" to all the above questions, you are required by law to stop reading this post. That's right! Go wash your hair again, snuggle your dog, reorganize your garage or eat a cookie. And if you have cookies, send me some. Do ANYTHING but read this post. This is the one and only time I'll make you go away, I promise. I just want this to be a cool surprise for you. And if you keep reading, I'll find out and you won't get the surprise! That's right. I'm resorting to threats.
Really I'm just trying to write enough so that you have to scroll down to see the photo. DON'T DO IT.
So here's the line -- or rather, 20 lines -- that only people who answered "no" to the above questions can cross:

I get to check another goal off of my 101 in 1001 list and I'm so excited about this one!
36. Develop and begin sending "date night kits" to wedding clients.
This idea was inspired by Justin and Mary Marantz and their Spread the Love Tour and I think it's pure brilliance.
When it gets to be one or two months before a couple's wedding, things can often be hectic. There are tons of little things to wrap up before the big day. In addition, I've typically finished the engagement shoot and have been out of touch with the couple for a few months. So it's the perfect time to let them know I'm thinking of them, I'm excited about their wedding and know it's coming up soon! So this "date night kit" is designed to communicate these things as well as to encourage them to take some time to relax and enjoy one another in the midst of the craziness. See what I mean? Brilliance.
I've already sent out three of these babies and the response has been great! I want to really focus on creating an experience for the couples who work with me so that when all is said and done, not only do they love their photos, but they have really enjoyed the experience of working with me as their photographer. This is one of those added touches that is unexpected and makes the experience memorable.

Mostly I'm excited about this idea because I would just be thrilled to receive this cute gift myself. So fun! Plus, you really can't go wrong promoting the combo of snuggling, popcorn, candy and good movies. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know more of all that will be happening as a result of Melissa Jill Photography :).
