    Here are some of the Top Mistakes that Couples Make when Planning their Wedding

    Not a lot of people actually know what they are doing when it comes to things like wedding planning. If this is your first time doing it, then you should not feel overwhelmed. Your friends may be telling you that it is going to be the best day of your life, but with so many tasks to organise and things to get right, you may find it hard to visualise this. If you want to stop yourself from feeling the pressure, then this guide should help you to make the most out of your experience in general.

    Announcing the Engagement

    If you are engaged, then you may be so happy to tell everyone about it. That being said, you do need to stop. Hold off from telling the world and give yourself a breather if you can. Take it all in and just spend time with your loved one. If you can do this, then you will soon find that you have more time to process things. Tell your friends and your family if possible before you go and put it all over social media, as they may be offended if they find out that you have posted it on there without telling them first, so try and be mindful of this if possible.

    Blowing your Budget

    Early budgeting is required if you do not want to max out your credit cards. Money can be a hard topic to talk about but at the end of the day, you have to make sure that you have very open and honest conversations. If possible, you need to set a saving and payment plan so you can get the big things out of the way first and then go from there. You can sort your venue, then your outfits and accessories, and then everything else. Remember if you want to save, you can buy red wedding ties online.

    Allowing Other People to do Too Much

    You do not have to invite everyone to your wedding. They may not know you too well and on top of this, it will also set the cost of your wedding higher too. This is the last thing that you need, so try and be mindful of this if you can. Setting boundaries is very healthy and it also helps you to stick to your budget properly. If someone is trying to tell you that you have to invite someone, then you need to politely tell them that you will crunch the numbers and get back to them. If the numbers do not allow it, then changes must be made, and you are well within your right to determine how that happens.

    Sticking to Traditions

    Everyone loves a good traditional wedding, but you have to remember that you do not need to stick with this as an option. It is more than possible for you to have a more stripped-back wedding if your money doesn’t allow a lavish ceremony, so be mindful of this if you need to cut back.
