Houston, TX– Boutique event planning firm, Professional Socialites, has a thing or two to teach newly-engaged or simply frustrated brides-to-be. The frantic post-engagement stress of beginning to plan the wedding can be overwhelming, especially when a bride wants to have their dream guy, dream wedding – and dream budget – all in one. This is where the “Professor” Socialites step in.

Professional Socialites University presents: Planning Your Day 101, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Houston. In this class, the brides-in-training will be guided through those frantic initial steps, given pointers on how to make the most of a wedding planner's expertise, and gain access to Professional Socialites exclusive class notes for bridal do's and don'ts. Unlike other “wedding planning information sessions”, this course is interactive and the ladies will get real world tools for making their wedding day spectacular. They will also link up with other brides-to-be to share ideas and experiences, enjoy lite bites, take home a swag bag full of goodies…and a few other surprises.

At the end of the class, the ladies will enjoy a special tour of Houston’s glamorous Four Seasons Hotel, its world-class amenities, and the fabulous perks they have for brides-to-be.

To register, log on to http://psplanyourday101.eventbrite.com. Tuition for the class is $25, registration must be completed by Saturday, July 17th, 2010.
