What are common mistakes couples make when planning their wedding? That’s what we’ll discuss today. While there are many parts of a wedding that have the potential to go sideways, there are three common mistakes couples tend to make when planning their wedding — especially when they don’t hire a wedding planner.
One major mistake is not realizing that when you don’t hire a wedding planner, you’ll have to do a lot of planning and coordinating on the day-of. If you really want to have more time to sit back and enjoy your big day, don’t try to do it all on your own. You should always ask for help from family and friends or hire a planner.
Another big mistake is booking your venue before you have a clear vision for your wedding day. The aesthetic of your venue will determine a lot about your wedding, so knowing what’s really important to you before you decide on a venue is a must. It will also influence the number of people you can invite. You should also make sure the wedding venue you choose keeps you aligned with your budget.
The third common mistake is feeling like your wedding has to follow certain traditions. As a couple, it helps to understand the flow of a typical wedding day. That said, you can always customize and tweak it in a way that feels more aligned with you.
Intentional thinking and questioning, like those found in the Your Pocket Wedding Planner, can help you gain clarity on your priorities. Use this tool to figure out what you want as an individual, and then come together with your partner to see what you agree on and where you’ll need to meet in the middle.
