How would to take this?????

So I contact my reception hall coordinator and asked about using the room next to my banquet hall as sort of my brides room. It's a small lounge type room. She told me it was $250 to rent but if I didn't want to do that she could block off the restroom with a lounge area on the other side of the building for me as a brides room and she could put a sign on it saying "brides room". I told her that was fine and I want to provide the sign as I was just going to do a sign similar to the look and feel of my table #s. Here is the response she sent me back

Yes, you can provide the sign, however, it needs to be conservatively created and not too heavy so that our tape will be able to hold it up. I have no doubt that whatever you create will be tastefully elegant!

I was a little taken a back by the "conservatively" comment and was confused by what she meant. What do you guys think?

    I think she means not gaudy.  No giant flowers, feathers, glitter, confetti, or words that are inappropriate.  It doesn't sound like this is what you had in mind though. :)

    Here's what I think.  They want something more like this:

    Hope I helped.

    Posted by mrsbunyip[/QUOTE] lol this is so funny! Yeah I figured that I guess I got offended for a minute about the comment but then again you never know what some people are going to do. I just didn't want a plain piece of paper but it's not big deal

    It's their building, and since they probably have no idea what your theme or "look" is for your wedding, they wanted to make sure it was not over-the-top. No one else there will know YOU made the sign, so they just wanted to make sure you knew their opinion on it. I wouldn't take it personally.

    LOL at mrsbunyip!

    I wouldn't take offense. It's just their disclaimer to prevent a crazy gaudy sign from 1) making their hall look bad and 2) potentially damaging the door. It wasn't a comment directed at you - probably just something she tells everyone. Nereida - that is too funny!!!!

      I wouldn't be offended. They said you'd do something tasteful, but if you have to tell one client something, you have to tell all of them the same thing. As well, you wouldn't want to spend a bunch of time on a sign and it ends up being too heavy to hang up.

    I wouldn't be offended. Since it's in another part of the building than your reception, they probably just want to keep the look of their building consistent for other guests. Since she's doing you a favor giving you this space for free, rather than having you spend $250, she's asking a favor from you, to keep in the look and feel of their venue. At least that's how I would take it.
