Weddings are considered to the most important day in a person’s life mainly because they come once in a life time (for most people anyway!). No one wants anything to go wrong on that day…especially the ladies and PARTICULARLY the bride. As for the Groom…at this point I would like to quote Ross from FRIENDS who described the groom’s responsibilities perfectly. It goes something like this – “As the groom you just have to be there and remember to say the right name”. All jokes aside, planning a wedding is a heck of a job. It is better to know what NOT to do rather than what TO DO. Here is a list of things that you should make sure are NOT done while planning your wedding.

Forgetting you had a budget: Always make a budget for the wedding. Don’t think that the parents will take care of any and everything you want. Make sure you know how much you can spend on things and how much you SHOULD. The way I did it was do all the research first then create a budget and (here comes a magic phrase) STICK TO IT. If your budget is realistic and you follow it, you have already won half the battle.

Delay Bookings: It is very hard to get a booking on the day you want your wedding to take place. Try to get as many options as possible and book well in advance.

Rain: You never think it’s going to be you but surprise …it might be. If you are planning an outdoor wedding, keep a contingency plan in place just in case it rains. I am all for outdoor weddings but make sure the rain does not destroy it.

Don’t invite your ex: This is a biggy. You would think that it’s ok and inviting your EX in perfectly fine. WRONG! It might not look like a big deal to you but to the person you’re marrying, this might be the only thing on their mind while saying I DO. Be considerate. Don’t invite the EX.

Getting trashed the night before: If you have friends like Barney (from How I met your mother), stay away from them the night before the wedding. You don’t want to say ‘Stop yelling’ when the officiator says ‘Dearly beloved’.

Not involving your better half: No offence to the ladies, but they tend to take over the wedding planning in such a way that the groom is left out of the decision making process. Involve the guy and ask him what he thinks about different ideas rather than asking your girl friends. After all, it’s his wedding too. Just make him feel like his opinion matters. If he really loves you, he won’t mind going with whatever your choice is.

The ‘I’ll do it all’ attitude: When people offer help – take it! My recommendation is to hire a wedding planner or coordinator, but if you have friend, delegate tasks. Things will get done much much more efficiently.
