Five BIG Pre-Wedding Mistakes |
By Jason Hennessey
 Planning a wedding can be a complex and time consuming experience. For this reasons, mistakes are easily made which affect the normal smooth flow of the wedding plan and the following five most common problems should be avoided as much as possible.
Overstretching the Budget
This mistake happens in almost all poorly planned weddings and even in some of the well planned ones when great care is not taken. One follows the budget only to realize at some point that certain things not in the budget are needed. This results to impulse buying which gives the budget a big blow and repercussions show up later when the couple is back to normal life. Since it costs a fortune to plan and execute a successful wedding, its good to involve and consult everyone so that their needs and expectations are catered for in the one budget.
Breaking laws, rules and regulations
The marriage license has laws that have to be followed before it is awarded. In most cases, the couple is expected to do a blood test before marriage. The waiting time
of the license should also be considered so that you dont end up carrying out a wedding ceremony without a marriage license as it may be unlawful in some states. If your wedding is taking place in church, its advisable to know the rules and regulations of that religion so as to avoid getting into a conflict with the clergy. Spend some time with him or her after your engagement so as to get enough information on issues such as church dressing code, type of music allowed, customizing your vows and days of the week in which you are allowed to hold a wedding ceremony.
Doing it on your own
No one can plan and execute the various activities that are found in weddings on his or her own. It therefore calls for a lot of help from family and friends in sorting out various issues. The good thing about such help is that it is on voluntary basis hence no extra costs are incurred. Try to delegates various duties and responsibilities to you mom or dad, brothers and sisters, cousins and willing friends and family members. Such things as sending invitations, collecting purchases or looking for suppliers can be done by these people. Remember to appreciate their support as this will boost their morale.
Engaging in new experiments
Trying out a new diet so as to cut some of that extra weight is no good idea. This, coupled with other eleventh hour beauty boosting procedures can backfire and cause undesired outcomes. Avoid trying out new products a day or two before your wedding and instead maintain your normal beauty routine. Eat right and drink lots of water to assist in eliminating toxins from your body.
Late ordering and booking
Everything that is of need during the wedding day should be ready and available at least twenty four hours before the main event. Avoid booking transportation, venue or even the honeymoon gateway too late to avoid embarrassment. Ensure that all purchases are delivered in time and in a good condition.
