On the wedding day, whether civil marriage or marriage to the church, errors can quickly happen. It is enough that the bride and groom or the wedding planner have forgotten a detail so that the atmosphere is slightly or completely spoiled. For the couple who is about to get married, this kind of situation can also be very stressful and can sometimes lead to arguments or regrets later. So to avoid missteps, we have established a list of 9 errors not to be done not to ruin the wedding ceremony or dinner with the guests.
1 – Do not provide plan B for the weather
Plan B can be very useful when the weather spoils at the last moment. They had announced a good time and overnight the rain and the thunderstorms are invited to marriage. This change in weather can be wreaking havoc, especially when the wine of honor and dinner are planned outdoors.
To avoid this, So remember to book a fairly large place that can receive your guests outside in a park or garden, but also inside In a barn, a large courtyard or in a reception tent that can be rented for the occasion.
2 – Delegate too much tasks to your loved ones
Due to lack of time, budget or to please his relatives, some bride and groom delegate tasks to family members or friends. If attention is commendable at first, it can quickly become a very bad idea if the missions given were not carried out in time, or if it is not to the taste of the bride and groom.
For example, you had entrusted the realization of a tailor-made decoration to your mother-in-law and that it did not respect the color code or even the main idea that you want, it can make you waste time in the preparations for the wedding, but above all to annoy you and your mother-in-law (if you are not happy with the result).
3 – Do not read contracts with marriage suppliers
With the haste to validate the contracts of the caterer, DJ, wine merchant or other, very often the bride and groom do not think of reading in detail the contracts they have signed. Result: some providers may omit to tell you about hidden costs (troubleshooting costs if a fridge or a kitchen stove breaks down, fresh for lost or damaged items).
Do not forget to read the conditions of your contracts and estimate,, and especially the small asterisks that are at the bottom of the page.
4 – Make a sleepless night the day before the wedding
There is the big day and the day before the ceremony. When your friends throw you: “Come on, come and drink a cup of champagne, it will be your last glass as a single! “don’t fall into the trap! You know how these evenings go, it starts with a drink, then two, then it’s the bottle to water dinner and in no time, you find yourself dancing the caterpillar with your friends. Likewise, try not to stay awake overnight with your best friends on the phone. Even if with stress, you need comfort, Be reasonable and try to go to bed early In order not to be tired the next day, for the best day of your life!
5 – Forget your wishes during the wedding ceremony
Forget the wishes you wrote for your future husband can happen, especially with stress. And if it happens in front of a large number of guests, it can put you in a very annoying situation. If you are afraid that it will happen, remember to give your wedding witness a copy of your wishes that he can give you discreetly if you miss the words. Of course, forgetting your wishes for marriage in the middle of a ceremony is not a disaster either. In some cases, it can even push the bride or bride to innovate and simply speak with his heart.
6 – Want to talk to everyone at all costs
It is D -Day, you arrive at the town hall in your wedding dress, radiant, and now you can see your uncle Maurice waiting for you to come to greet him. Then comes the tour of your colleague Corinne, and then you are not going to pass your girlfriend Judith without sending her a note? Obviously, the day of your wedding, you want to speak with all your guests. But in fact, if you have a lot of guests, this is not always possible.
7 – Do not touch your plate during the meal
During the wine of honor and dinner, the newlyweds are more than asked, between the guests, the family, the photographer and sometimes the wedding planner … You may not have time to taste the little ovens that you had chosen with heart and gluttony. To avoid ending up with an empty stomach, which is also likely to make you pompette after two sections of champagne, be provident. Upstream, for the meal, ask your caterer to book one of his servers just for your husband and you. This one will be responsible for taking you at the right time, the plates, at your own pace. A rich idea to avoid having a stomach that gargouille!
Also think of well-breakfast in the morning before going to the town hall or the church and to continue with the reception. A cereal bar is still welcome if you have a minaudière with your bridal outfit, or simply in the car that will take you to the place of the ceremony.
8 – Drinking excess to the wine of honor and the meal
Conversely, if there is one thing for which you should not not falling into excess, it’s alcohol. Yes, it’s true, it’s your wedding and you have to celebrate it with dignity! Unfortunately, if you drink too much, you will not take advantage of every moment, believe us! Be sure not to abuse champagne or wine, under penalty of being at 11 p.m. offering you your favorite song, unless that’s how you imagined your wedding.
9 – Invite babies to his wedding
At a wedding, some bride and groom feared to see their witness or their bridesmaid to be monopolized by their baby who is still dependent on his parent, which is in itself completely legitimate, but the future bride, rightly, may want her witness to focus only on her to support her and create unforgettable moments with friends. If this is your case, remember to indicate on the wedding invitation boxes that you prefer not to invite babies. This can also fix the guests to know it, so they can organize to find a means of guard for their child.
You can also think of calling on a experienced nanny or baby-sitter to keep the young children from your guests away, in a room close to the ceremony. This can be a solution not to offend anyone.
