Wedding Planning Tips: Following Up on Emails

Here's a common scenario: you send an email to your caterer asking them to change an item on your menu. You expect the caterer to receive the email, make the change, and follow up with you to let you know that it's been done. But what if the caterer forgets? And then you forget because the caterer didn't respond to your original email? And then your wedding day comes and the item you requested to have changed hasn't been....

Yikes!

When you're planning a wedding you'll likely be sending a lot of emails and you could put reminders to yourself in your workbook or in your calendar but that can become really time consuming. Followupthen.com offers a much more efficient alternative for FREE (we LOVE free stuff!!!).

So here's the basic run-down. When you send an email to your caterer you simply cc or bcc the time interval at which you want to follow up at the email address @followupthen.com (i.e. 1week@followupthen.com).

When you put the email address in the cc field it will send a follow up note to you and everyone on your recipients list. If you enter the email address in the bcc field the reminder will only be sent to your account.

One of the many great things about this service (did we mention that it's free?) is that you can choose any time interval: 1day, 5days, 1week, 3weeks, 2months, etc. This extra step is so fast and so simple that anyone can do it.
