Some things are inevitable and no matter how precisely you plan, you cannot outrun them. For example, your photographer or DJ coming down with a fever. God forbid this doesn’t to anyone. However, some mistakes are so common and easily avoidable, yet many couples end up making them. There are chances that you are well aware of those mistakes but in all excitement that revolves around wedding planning, we tend to forget about them. Let us learn what those mistakes are.
Going out of Budget
“What? Who does that? I know exactly how and where I am going to spend my money without blowing off the budget.” Now, we don’t mean to wipe the confidence but it does not take too long for that to turn into overconfidence. You purchase without setting a budget thinking it’s in the budget. And before you know it, you are already running short on money and have not even looked at the significant things. Yes, it can happen. And so, to avoid that, we suggest that the couple make the money plan together and discuss it before making any purchase. Also, don’t forget to consider the hidden costs that might come with things. For example, some of your wedding cards get ruined. What do you do then? Have some more made, right? But where will the money come from for that? Therefore, Wedding planning companies in India recommend you set aside 10% of your budget in advance for any emergency expense.
Doing things untimely
What’s the point of buying the dress too early? Or booking too early? Right? Wrong! There is a point. Suppose you leave to book the venue at the last minute but when you go to make the booking, there’s no slot. Or you buy the wedding dress too late and when it arrives, there are some stitching issues with it but no time to fix that. The contrary is also true. You book or plan things too early. And yes, there is a thing such as too early. All these mistakes are very common and yet, proper planning can be easily avoided. We suggest you do proper planning before diving headfirst into things.
Not planning the events
This means you don’t plan how things will go on D-Day. Suppose some of your guests arrive right on time but you start the wedding ceremony way past the time you mentioned. What is going to happen? They will have to wait. And there are chances that some of them might even leave. We are sure no one wants that. And so, to avoid that, we suggest you make a plan on how and when things will take place on your wedding day. From before your entry to after your exit, map out an approximate time for everything. An additional tip we would like to give you is not to be too strict about the time. Assign a rough time for all the things but also, don’t forget to enjoy your day and live in the moment first.
Not having a wet weather plan
The worst-case scenario for any outdoor wedding is that the weather decides to go against you that day. Do not forget to have a plan B in such a case. Talk to your venue coordinator in advance. You might have to pay a little extra for that but if luck is not in your favor on your wedding day, your smartness will be. And this is where the extra money you set aside will come in handy.
Micromanaging everything
You have booked vendors to get things done, and it is considerate to ask them questions to stay updated on everything. However, keeping them under scrutiny is going to affect both you and those you have hired. Being detail-oriented is good, but maybe the idea of perfectionism is too idealistic. It will only suck the energy out of you and the vendor. Besides, we are sure that whoever you have booked is an expert and experienced and knows what they are doing. Yelling at your caterer or your photographer for every little thing will not bring out any better results. It will only make things worse.
Rejecting the idea of a wedding planner
There are a lot of myths about wedding planners and so, a lot of couples reject the idea of a wedding planner before even considering it. Planners are not just for big weddings only. We work with a variety of clients who have different budgets. And with the pandemic on a roll, there are various cuts on the budget already which will easily allow you to hire a wedding planner. Don’t neglect the idea altogether. Take some time out and set up some meetings. Talk to a couple of planners and listen to what they have to say. Hiring a wedding planner will take a lot of stress away and will leave your shoulders feeling light. Wedding planners will do everything for you exactly how you want them to. We listen to your ideas and help you in enhancing them. We understand it is your wedding and will only try to the best of our abilities to make your day much more special and memorable.
