Requiring a lot of planning and teamwork, a wedding in the family is one of the biggest events in the family. On your own you can’t handle each and everything. To avoid any glitches in the preparation, you need the help of family members, relatives, and at times the help of friends. Which we could easily avoid if we pay little attention to things, under the pressure of preparation and planning we make some mistakes. Various things like shopping, gifts, the printing of cards, booking wedding venue and finalising the menu, etc, you are supposed to plan. Requiring a lot of planning and coordination are all these things. There are chances that you will forget something or skip something in such a hectic situation. While planning for a wedding we are here sharing some of the common mistakes most of us usually make.  

Not Fixing A Budget:

Fixing the budget is the first thing you should do while you start planning for your wedding arrangements. Very important is fixing the overall budget and segmenting the budget. Be it for shopping, venue, gifts and any other thing it is important that you fix the budget for everything. In advance, it will help you in getting the overall spending limit and estimating the things. There are high chances that you end up shedding more money than your actual budget in making all the arrangements if you will not fix a budget in advance.

Finalizing Vendor On The Basis Of Quotes:

Which has to be avoided this is another mistake. Fixing someone on the basis of low quotes is not the right decision as asking the price quotes from different vendors is a good move, to begin with. In wedding planning, you never want to face a negative comment. For that day you always want everything to be the best. It is important to see their previous work before finalising any vendor. Don’t forget to check the details and see the comments on it if the vendor has any website.

Not Making The Guest List Properly:

It is important that you always calculate the guests. It is important that you make a proper guest list and arrange everything accordingly to plan everything well in advance. Affecting all the arrangements is making last-minute changes in the list. For the wedding day make sure that you work upon a 10% minus or plus guest list. Instruct your vendor and caterer to make arrangements as per the list-making all the arrangements accordingly.

Taking Too Many Opinions:

It is not a wise idea to discuss the same thing with everyone as it is good to take a second opinion if you are confused. The more you will get confused, as the more you discuss. In important decisions, involve your close family members and friends. In making the right decision and perfect choices better it will help.

Too High Expectations:

It might be that you will feel disappointed if you see even a little flaw in the arrangement in case you are keeping your expectations too high. Get yourself involved in most of the planning part as it is better to keep your expectations at ground level. Which you saw in some movie or at someone else’s wedding, don’t expect that your decorator will make the replica of the stage or other things. At the best let him use his creativity.

Not Instructing Vendor Well:

We think that he/she will take care of everything after hiring a wedding planner or vendor. This comes to be totally wrong. Knowing your requirements well, you are the right one. In your wedding venue or food menu or something else, no one else could tell the vendor what you want or don’t want. To avoid any confusion in the expectation and delivery, so give proper instructions to the vendors.

Concluding On The Topic

There are many options available these days in preparing for your wedding. You can choose the best and popular wedding planners. But don’t let all the work to them as there are always many glitches they may cause. Keep an eye on them as they go about arranging the venue, the food menu as also any other option. For more, you can talk to the planner openly and ask them to consider what you require and what you expect from them.

The day is truly special for the groom and the bride. So, know beforehand what they expect on their special day. Knowing their tastes and expectations will surely help you arrange the wedding likewise. From all the flower arrangements to the music to the food, menu keeps your signature special items so that they can truly enjoy the day. Remember that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show them how special they are in your life.
