4 Wedding Difficulties To Avoid At All Costs

While weddings are considered very important and personal events, they are still events, and when planning any special date, things can go wrong. You don’t have to be an insufficient planner or someone who fails to think about the various failure points for an issue to happen, this is just life, as we’re sure you’re aware.

Luckily, because a wedding is both a formal and informal event, it’s easy to laugh off certain issues. For example, if a cow moos to protest your union, well, unless the cow can eloquently explain their reasons why, there’s no reason to think too deeply about it.

Laughing off problems and issues can go a long way here, especially at a family event where children are likely to be present. But the truth is that some issues simply cannot be accepted, or can put a real dampener on your day. In this post, we’ll explain what those are, and how to avoid them at all costs:

Failed Dietary Provisions

No one wants a hangry wedding crowd, but the truth is that it’s best to feed them nothing than to trigger a severe allergy. With wedding catering services that take your requests seriously and absolutely ensure their preparation is clean, effective and reliable, you can ensure the beautiful menu you select will be delivered to the highest standard, and without a vegan not being able to eat, or a health issue being experienced.

Weather Unpreparedness

We all dream of perfect weather for our big day, but Mother Nature doesn't always play along. If you had an outdoor celebration planned but the heavens open during the day, standing around in a foyer will do no good. Making sure you have sturdy shelters, helpful paths you can navigate, or a plan B you can use if the weather genuinely doesn’t hold up at all will give you peace of mind if nothing else, even if you don’t use those provisions.

Improper Itineraries

Plan out the key moments of the day – the ceremony, speeches, first dance, cake cutting – and leave some wiggle room in between. This way you won’t feel like you have to sprint from place to place, and can make sure everyone understands they have time to find their seats or to go the bathroom between big events. Moreover, give everyone an itinerary. If everyone is confused where and what to do next, it’ll feel like handling an unruly school trip instead of enjoying your special day.

Unreviewed Guest Lists

If you give everyone a plus one or two and haven’t fully agreed on who received an invite, well, you may find yourself over capacity, with friends, relatives, or colleagues you had no idea were coming, and no chairs or not enough food for everyone. Even if you’re pretty open, make sure you’re clear about who is coming and why, and make sure to prepare for them. Then, anyone who does come isn’t going to cause a hassle simply by being there.

With this advice, you’re liable to avoid the most frustrating wedding difficulties.
