5 things you may forget when planning a wedding

1. GRATUITY 

When planning your wedding, don’t forget to set money aside for vendor tips. They worked so hard to make your wedding vision come to life! Or a little “Keep going” gift (Little gift bag with a chocolate bar, sweets, hot chocolate mix or something from your wedding like sun glasses, glow in the dark wands etc. Just a little something doesn’t have to be big or expensive)

2. GUESTS AND MEALS

Before you give your headcount to your caterer, make sure none of your guests have any allergies or dietary restrictions. If that is the case, give your caterer a heads up and see if there is an alternate meal for your guest who does have restrictions.

Also, don’t forget to feed your vendors: the photographers, videographers, DJs / musicians, planners, etc.

3. DON’T FORGET TO EAT!

It’s so easy to get caught up in saying hello to guests and dancing the night away! Make sure you are eating and drinking plenty of water!

4.DO-NOT-PLAY LIST

It’s good to have a list of songs for the DJ NOT to play at your wedding. If you skip out on this step, chances are you may be in for a surprise.

5. TRANSPORTATION

There are two things you need to keep in mind; how is the bridal party getting to locations and how are we leaving the wedding? You can have the party split up in multiple cars or you can hire a limo, party bus, etc.

When it’s time for you and your husband to leave, make sure you have transportation figured out as well. Are you two driving home? Or are you taking a limo? There are so many ideas out there but make sure you have it all set in stone!

6. BAD WEATHER

If you are having an outdoor wedding, it’s smart to have a Plan B just in case! The weather can be very temperamental, so when scouting out venues, make sure there is an indoor option as well.
