First Wedding "Emergency"

Folks - when I started my business I was waiting for my first real "emergency" - I put emergency in quotes because it is more of a problem. Luckily the first wedding I was the day of coordinator went off without a hitch - except the AC went out on the trolley - but the trolley company made a quick swap and all was fine. My first real problem happened at my March 3rd wedding - the printing company that the bride used made a mistake on the place cards - they only printed tables 1, 10, and the bridal table and they managed to print each of those tables 5 times! I noticed the duplicates when setting up the place cards. I always ask my brides for a copy of the seating chart and table assignments - just in case a place card gets lost or a guest is wandering around aimlessly. I had her seating chart, and I got with the venue. While my assistant helped set up the rest of the decor, I sat at the computer and typed up all the place cards, printed them and got them ready to go! Crisis averted.
