The first mistake is not having a wedding planner to reduce the stress and pressure of the day. However, mistakes are inevitable on the day, so couples must be careful.
Here are 5 costly mistakes couples make on their wedding day
1. Bad wardrobe and bad makeup
The bride’s makeup plays an important role in the overall aesthetic of the wedding party. To ensure a perfect look on the wedding day, it is important to test the chosen makeup artist beforehand. Consider scheduling a trial for another event and see firsthand how the makeup is done.
Be prepared for minor mishaps! Having a sewing kit available from your designer can take care of any last-minute wardrobe issues, such as rips or tears. Also, choose appropriate undergarments that won’t show through your wedding dress; avoid dark colors under a white dress for a flawless look.
2. Forget the wedding ring and the Bible
If it’s a Christian wedding, imagine all your guests waiting for you and your partner, and suddenly it occurs to both of you that you don’t have the ring or the Bible needed to join in holy matrimony. Now you’ll improvise with any ring you see? One thing you have to check over and over again is the wedding ring. There is no wedding without it.
3. Not capturing the best photos and videos
Before you do anything that will make you sweat and stress, take plenty of photos and videos. In fact, once the bride is done with her makeup, the next step should be to take photos and videos. Don’t be in a hurry. Let everyone wait until you’re done. You need to capture these memories for the rest of your life.
4. Inviting too many guests
You may be tempted to invite everyone you know, but this will only increase the cost of the wedding or reduce the cost of the important things you need for the wedding. Remember that you will be paying for each person’s food and drink; you should limit the number of people on your guest list to ensure reasonable spending. Enforce this by giving everyone a personal invitation and making sure that only those who have one can attend the wedding; no more than one person is allowed.
5. Limited food and drink
Budget appropriately for food and drink. No one wants to go to a wedding just to watch. People love to eat and drink their fill. They left home in the morning to see you get married, so they’re bound to be hungry by midday. It’s your responsibility to feed them, so it’s important not to invite too many people.
