COMMON WEDDING-PLANNING MISTAKES

When it comes to planning a wedding, it can be challenging. Just because you are the bride or groom, it doesn’t mean you can’t make mistakes when it comes to your wedding. After all you are human. Mistakes do arise, and when they do, you don’t need to panic. Below are some of the common mistakes and missteps prone to arise.

BUDGETING

Weddings work under a set budget. If you fail to do so, your wedding plans may backfire on you. So when it comes to catering for all your wedding plans make sure you assign enough cash on each of them. You need not use a fortune on the gown yet you haven’t paid for the venue or food. In case the amount doesn’t cut for all plans, don’t panic. Instead revise the budget with your fiancé and come up with a solution.

PLANNING

When it comes to deciding what takes priority before the other, most brides don’t know where to start. Is it the gown, venue or guest list that comes first? All three are very vital when it comes planning for a good wedding. Without a guest list, how will you hire the appropriate venue and without a venue, where will your wedding be held? So once you have a definite number of guests that will be attending, you can go ahead and chose the venue. Once you’ve taken care of the two, you can proceed to buy that wedding gown you’ve been eyeing.

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT

The blunder comes in when you tell others about your wedding too early or late. It’s very hard to keep quiet about your big day and the earlier you spill the beans, the more opinions you’ll get from everyone. To avoid this you could confide in your close friends only. Late announcement becomes a problem when people make other plans and they coincide with your wedding thus may end up not attending. You also need to wow your guests with the wedding. This will only happen if you don’t talk too much about your plans.

WEDDING PLANNER

Ruling out a wedding planner for your wedding could just be the biggest mistake of your life. The advantage of a wedding planner is that they take care of all the wedding details and thus chances of forgetting some are slim. On the wedding day they will take charge and you need not worry of problems that arise because they will handle all that for you. After all what you need to do is enjoy your wedding day.

VIDEOGRAPHY

Memoirs of your wedding are something you have to keep. Whether its pictures or a video, either will do. The mistake comes in when you hire a friend to do the shooting. It’s not a bad thing but you would look into the option of hiring a pro. Not having persons to take videos or pictures of your long awaited day is even worse.

DIETING

Most brides want to look good during their wedding, after all it’s the “it” day, why shouldn’t they? When it comes to dieting, make sure you do it earlier. Most brides start dieting when it’s a month or so to the D-day. To avoid this, start eating right and working out 6 months before your wedding. This will help you when the time comes to choose that fitting gown.
