Recently, a few of us got together and swapped stories. I thought it would be fun to list the top planning mistakes in this week's blog.
I hope they save you time and money in the long run. Happy planning. XO
1. Read all of your agreements very carefully - please do not browse over the terms. Imagine if you overlook a detail on your wedding gown agreement and end up with the wrong color or size.
2. Don't assume that your venue comes with ample parking for your guests.
3. Don't sweat the small stuff on your wedding day. If something goes wrong, let the experts handle it and enjoy your day.
4. Don't skimp on hiring a professional photographer. The photos are your lasting memories, so make sure that you hire someone who knows what they are doing.
5. When shopping for your dress and shoes, keep in mind that you will be in them for several hours. Make sure that you will be comfortable, so you can have fun.
6. Have a hair and make up trial before your wedding day and make sure that both you and your stylist take photos of the final look.
7. Don't hire your event professionals until you book your venue, so you have your day confirmed.
8. Never print your wedding registry on the invite. Most couples publish it on their wedding web site.
9. Don't start planning without a budget in place - setting a budget will help keep you on track.
Last but not least, my personal favorite -
10. Don't skimp on hiring a planner - a great one is worth every dollar. Our packages start at $2200 and we offer a la carte services. An event planner can handle everything from helping you plan through family drama to saving you from costly mistakes.
