Any wedding is likely to involve a large number of different elements and a hundred different things that could go wrong. The cost of a wedding is only really surpassed by the scale of the administrative and logistical undertaking, and the stakes are of course incredibly high. So how do you make sure that nothing goes wrong on your wedding day and what are the things you need to look out for? Here we will look at some precautions to take to avoid common problems.
Start Organizing Early
There is an awful lot to organize on any wedding day, and a lot of this is going to be time-sensitive. Things like booking venues and churches all require you to get in early to avoid them becoming fully booked, while getting the invitations out as early as possible can avoid people being unable to be there for this important occasion. The sooner you start organizing, the more you can avoid the myriad problems that crop up when organizing any big event.
Use Save the Dates
Another way to ensure that everyone you want at your wedding is able to attend is to use ‘save the dates’ which are invitations you send before you have the official invite.
Use the Best Services
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and unfortunately when you plan a wedding you will be relying on many other people to ensure everything goes smoothly. Using the best services means finding the best florist, the best hair dresser and the best makeup artist to ensure that you won’t be let down and that everything is going to look great on the day. Also particularly important is your transport and booking a good wedding limo while making sure they have all the accurate and up-to-date information is a crucial element to remember if you want to make sure everyone arrives on time.
Order Extra Food
Catering is an area that can often go wrong at a wedding and which can leave people in a bad mood if they’re hungry and kept waiting, or if they don’t get what they ordered. Start your event with canapés to make sure no one is starving no matter what happens, and make sure your caterers have spares of each dish to ensure that people who change their name or forget their order don’t ruin everything. Likewise it can help to send a reminder confirming what everyone ordered, or if you want to make things easier still – just order a buffet instead.
Split it Into Parts
There are many stresses that can come from having just one big event – for instance what if your rowdy mates from back home don’t get on with your Grandma? Having several smaller parts to your wedding solves this problem by allowing you to invite some people to the whole thing and others to parts. This could mean Gran comes to the ceremony, and that your friends come to the disco afterwards. This can also save you money and means that your whole day is less reliant on one venue or one menu.
