Common Wedding Planning Mistakes

With a big event like weddings, you surely want to make every detail perfect. Wedding planning can be really stressful, even to professional wedding planners. One little mistake and it could ruin the whole celebration!

That’s why you need to be aware of the common wedding planning mistakes people commit:

FORGETTING TO SET A BUDGET

Setting a budget is crucial for wedding planning! Everything that will happen in the ceremony and reception depends on how much money you can allot. You don’t want to overspend and have to take out emergency loans just because you “accidentally” planned a wedding that is way out of your budget limit.

NOT CONSIDERING EXTRA GUESTS

Filipino weddings are typically big in attendance because people love bringing along the whole family. One wedding invite is basically for every member of the family it was sent to. RSVPs are not really a big thing here, but it’s best that you consult your guests on how many of the family will be going so you can make a rough estimate on the quantity of food and seating. Also, when you’re holding your reception right on your backyard, expect that even uninvited neighbors will just snoop in to join the party.

BEING TOO SUPERSTITIOUS

As much as you want to avoid bad luck, it’s kinda silly to think that the bride should skip trying on her gown at the last minute! What if it’s a little tight or loose on her? Bad luck wouldn’t ruin her mood, but an ill-fitting wedding gown will.

IGNORING THE WEATHER

It can be pretty unpredictable when it would actually rain, but it’s best that you have a backup plan in case your garden wedding experience a downpour. Besides, after all the crazy planning and the cash you’ve spent, you can’t really afford to make a last-minute compromise when it’s your (or your wedding planner’s) fault to think about the weather on D-day.

SKIPPING THE LAST RUNDOWN OF THINGS

As much as you want to be less stressed the day before the wedding, it’s only imperative you make the last rundown on your to-do list. Make sure that everything is ready so it wouldn’t be so much of a hassle the next day just when everyone is all dolled up.
