Wedding planning is exciting, but let’s be honest, it can also feel a little overwhelming! Mistakes happen (it’s totally normal!), but avoiding these common pitfalls can save you a lot of time, stress, and money.
Skipping the Budget Talk
Nobody loves talking about money, but setting a budget is one of the first things you need to do. Knowing your numbers upfront helps you prioritize what matters most and avoid overspending. Trust me, future-you will be so glad you did this.
Delaying Vendor Bookings
Procrastination is tempting, but waiting too long to book key vendors can backfire. Popular photographers, venues, and planners get booked fast. Starting early gives you more options and, often, better prices.
Overloading on DIY
DIY projects can be a great way to add personal touches, but they can also become overwhelming fast. Stick to one or two projects you’re really excited about, and leave the rest to the pros. Your time (and sanity) are worth it!
Overlooking the Guest Experience
Your guests are there to celebrate you, so make sure they’re comfortable. Clear directions, thoughtful seating arrangements, and maybe even a little surprise treat will make them feel appreciated. Happy guests equals an amazing celebration.
Last-Minute Decisions
Leaving things to the last minute can create unnecessary stress. Set deadlines for yourself and stick to them. When your big day arrives, you’ll be calm, collected, and ready to party.
