There is a saying that only those who don't make mistakes don't make mistakes, and that certainly applies to wedding planning . If a couple organizes their own wedding, then one of the first mistakes is to think that they will be able to remember everything, will not forget anything during the process, and everything will turn out just perfectly. But at the same time, there is also a saying - it is better to learn from others than from your own mistakes, therefore LĪGAVĀM offers you to familiarize yourself with the most common mistakes couples make in wedding planning.

Doesn't make himself a priority

As obvious as it may seem, it turns out that one of the most common mistakes is that a couple does not make themselves a priority at the beginning of wedding planning.

Before jumping into the vastness of Pinterest and Instagram , listening to the opinions of friends and loved ones about what a specific wedding should be, it is good to answer the question for yourself, what do you want, what will bring you the most joy, what are your priorities - music, food, decorations, etc.

Buys a wedding dress before finding a venue

Often, brides are so happily excited about what's to come that they start the wedding planning process backwards, that is, by first buying the bride's dress and only then thinking about where and in what style the wedding will take place. Although the bride can wear whatever she wants on her wedding day, it would still be important to know the choice of venue before looking for a dress, so that as a result, the bride does not end up in a situation where she gets married in a palace, but the purchased dress is more suitable for a wedding by the sea.

Trying to lose weight very quickly

Every bride wants to be in her best shape on her wedding day, but often wants to achieve it in a very short time. Brides, sharing their stories of experience, often state that, for example, a month before the wedding, they followed a strict diet, an unbalanced diet, as a result of which they were tired. Instead of trying to quickly lose those kilograms that are not satisfying, you should follow a balanced diet and regularly engage in physical activities at least six months before the wedding.

Does not provide catering for its wedding service providers

The last thing a couple would want at their wedding is a wedding musician or an evening host who has no energy. To avoid this, you should always think about and pre-order catering for all wedding service providers - photographer , videographer , musicians , DJ, evening host and others. Unfortunately, sometimes couples don't think about it, forgetting that, for example, the photographer will have a 12-hour work day at their wedding, during which he will definitely want to eat.

Plenty of time between the wedding ceremony and the evening celebrations

This is not only a mistake made by the young couple, but often also by the conductors. Wanting to bring various surprises to the new couple, ask them to complete several tasks, take them to a special place and still find time for a wedding photo session, the couple and the ushers often spend a very long time away from the guests. The optimal time of absence is no longer than two hours, during which guests should provide both snacks and drinks, as well as some activities .

Will not greet all guests

Unless the number of wedding guests is measured in hundreds, then the couple should find a moment on their wedding day to greet each and every guest. It will be meaningful to the couple's friends and loved ones, that way they will feel appreciated. Unfortunately, sometimes at weddings it can be observed that the bride and groom spend a long time chatting at one table without approaching others at all. In such situations, the other guests may feel offended and unappreciated.

Seats all friends and acquaintances who have come without a couple at one table

Although a wedding is a great place to get to know each other, you should not seat all those who came to the wedding without a partner at the same table. When creating a seating plan, you should evaluate the interests, hobbies, and workplaces of specific people and understand which guests will get along better with each other. Such planning will of course take longer, but in the end everyone will be satisfied.

Do not set boundaries with parents

Although most likely the parents of the new couple wish for the best, not setting specific boundaries with the parents regarding their involvement in the special day can lead to unnecessary conflicts and unnecessary tension during the wedding planning or even on the wedding day itself.
