Planning a wedding isn’t easy. It requires lots of brainstorming ideas. Well, everyone can implement the ideas but what is more important is to keep a checklist of all the things that should be done while planning a wedding. After all, this auspicious event is gonna leave a deep happy mark on your soul.

So, Here We are, your best and permanent buddies, telling you the things you need “Not to do” while planning a wedding and going smooth as butter and sweet as sugar.

Let’s get started……

1. Wedding and the budget: Always tops the cause of concern

Never Take a single step without Finalising Your Budget. This is the very basic problem in most of the wedding preparations as the couples do not finalize their budget and they end up facing a personal monetary crisis, which no couple wants just after their marriage. Believe it or not, preparing a wedding budget is as crucial as your wedding itself. So, planning out the budget for your marriage expenses on food, decoration and all the other things is very important. Having a budget help you manage your wedding-related expenses in your budget. Also, having a budget helps you save money that you may otherwise spend on something which is not required. At last, this also helps you avoid sudden last-moment expenses and save a lot of money for you. You know, it’s a known fact if you want something to be smooth and perfect, then planning is the key, and Budget planning is the most efficient key.

DON’T STRAY AWAY FROM YOUR BUDGET !!!

Most couples, and women, in particular, make the serious error of failing to adhere to their wedding budgets. I assure you that is not at all sensible. You must always adhere strictly to your wedding budget. Purchase only what you feel is necessary; avoid making impulse purchases or spending money on items that are not necessary.

2. Venues and the guests

Avoid Selecting a venue before finalizing the guest list. It is best to reserve a wedding venue only when you are confident of the number of guests you will be expecting at your wedding or when you are confident of the size of the event you intend to organize. Making a venue reservation before you have a guest list might cause major issues later.

Let’s say you reserve a space for 500 guests, but only 200 guests show up for your wedding. For a large venue that can accommodate more than 500 people, this will result in considerable financial waste. Or, in a different example, suppose you had reserved a space for 300 people and they all showed up with their families, bringing the total number of visitors to 400. In this situation, the guests will get quite claustrophobic in a limited area.

3. Th guestlist: Most hectic task

Refrain from inviting somebody who hasn’t spoken to you in a while. The expense of each guest at your wedding will be borne by you. Why invite someone you don’t know or with whom you have no further communication? People who will enhance the event and who are significant to you should be invited to your wedding. It is not worthwhile to invite someone only for the sake of inviting. Therefore, only invite those you consider to be significant.

Don’t invite people when you’re drunk.   Sending out invitations for your wedding should only be done sober. While you are seated at the bar, you could be tempted to invite anybody and everyone, but you will later regret that choice. You can discover that you unintentionally invited folks you don’t know well or are not much of a close friend. Maybe you rarely talk once in a blue moon. 

4. The dream wedding dress

Try it out first before deciding on your wedding attire. You could be charmed by a bridal lehenga or Groom’s Sherwani. However, it is essential that you use it first before purchasing it. It is important since the dress you loved could not fit you properly or might not look that great on you. You must thus wait to purchase your wedding dress until after wearing it first.

A larger size or lower size wedding dress should be avoided. Even though you might be delighted to find a wedding dress that is either bigger or smaller than your size, resist the urge to buy it. Do not purchase clothing that does not fit you perfectly. There will be pain if you wear an extremely tight dress to the wedding. While a loose wedding lehenga will cause a different kind of issue. Buy a wedding dress that fits properly. It will also affect how you look in the wedding photos.

4. Avoid going on a crash diet

Many couples, especially brides, embark on crash diets to reduce weight quickly. Realize it’s not worth it! You need to watch what you eat very carefully. The body might become extremely weak after a crash diet. Additionally, it will alter your face; you can have a dull face, which will ultimately affect how you appear for your wedding. Have a routine that incorporates wholesome food and exercise.

5. Avoid doing everything alone.

You are a human, just like everyone else, and you have a certain amount of energy before you become fatigued. The process of organizing a wedding will be a little hectic and occasionally chaotic. Therefore, it is always a good idea to give tasks to those you believe will be able to do them effectively.

It takes a team to plan your wedding. The most crucial component of the team is you and your future spouse. You must thus arrange your wedding along with your significant other. Discuss everything in depth with your spouse; this will make him or her feel comfortable and enable him or her to provide ideas as well.

6. Look at your calmness and rationality.

On Pinterest or Instagram, you’ll find a tonne of motivating ideas that will attract you. But the issue is that you must realize that it will be difficult for your vendors to produce exactly what is displayed in the photo. For the same, a lot of money and work are required. You can be making unwise demands because your budget is too little. Or perhaps your budget won’t allow you to purchase all you wanted. Therefore, it is best to stay grounded in reality and organize your wedding in a way that reflects your tale.

Keep your anger from slipping. As was already said, the process of organizing a wedding may be quite stressful and draining at times. During the planning process for your wedding, you can have times when you feel overly overburdened, frustrated, or completely worn out. But you must remain composed. And that can only be sustained when you are aware of the fact that not everything is in your control. You need to understand that you can’t please everyone, that perfection is a myth, and that things beyond your control shouldn’t make you feel anxious.

It’s possible that certain items won’t perform as you had hoped. It’s OK! You shouldn’t always take things seriously because they do happen occasionally. For instance, it’s alright if your florist is unable to secure the exact flower that your friend’s florist placed at her wedding. You can choose an option that precisely complements your wedding’s theme or something comparable.

7. The beauty preparation

Do not get your nails or eyebrows waxed on the wedding day. You should organize these events at least four to five days before your wedding, as you can see. It is not a good idea to plan a waxing, manicure, or pedicure on the day of your wedding since it will disrupt your entire wedding schedule. Always go for Trial makeup.

8. Organizing a bachelorette or bachelor party the day before your wedding is not a good idea.

It’s not a good idea to have a bachelor or bachelorette party the day before your wedding. It might take a while for hangovers to pass! It is imperative that you enjoy your bachelor party to the fullest at least three to four days before getting married. You will have sufficient time to be ready for the last day if you do this.

9. Wedding Vendors

Don’t wait to hire wedding vendors. Last but not least, keep in mind that the top wedding suppliers are reserved first. Additionally, if you wait to hire them, you can wind up choosing a less competent or average wedding provider. As a result, it is advised that you reserve all of your wedding service providers as soon as you know the wedding’s date and expected attendance.

10. Avoid not hiring a separate cab for the bride on the wedding day

A separate cab should be reserved for the bride.

On the day of your wedding, you are incorrect if you believe you can get by in someone else’s automobile. On the day of your wedding, you’ll have a lot to handle. The person you thought would have time for you could end up being busy elsewhere, which might cause you to be late for your parlor appointment. This decision is not worthwhile. For the day of your wedding, you might better organize or book a separate cab for yourself. Moreover, get a cab with a driver.

11. The Laws

Avoid failing to obtain a marriage license.

The rules governing marriage vary in every nation. No matter where you reside, make sure to thoroughly understand the state’s marriage regulations in preparation. It is not a good idea to put it off or wait until the very last minute. because you must submit a marriage license application. Therefore, you must first register for it.

12. The photography

Always talk to your photographer one week before the wedding about the kind of photos you want for your album. Check the past work of the photographer beforehand in order to avoid disappointments. Be very specific about your wants.

To sum up…

Therefore, you must avoid missing these in order to organize and host a flawless wedding. You will have a wonderful wedding that you will remember for the rest of your life if you avoid these blunders.

Wish you a Happy wedding.
