From the moment you announce your engagement, everyone is an expert and ready to give you wedding advice. Not all of that advice is going to be the best to take. Here are some tips you should definitely avoid<\/em> when planning your wedding so your special day will go off without a hitch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Skimp on the Food
\n<\/strong>Past brides will try to tell you that nobody eats the food. But the truth is, the food is one of the main things guests remember about your wedding. So, if it’s within your budget, try to make sure there are several food options, as well as something that will make even the pickiest eaters happy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nImprove Your Vows<\/strong>
\nSpend quality time\u00a0writing your vows on your HP laptop<\/a> from Buydig.com and even memorizing them if you can. You’ll be so nervous and emotional on the day of your wedding. You\u00a0may not be able to speak off the cuff.<\/p>\n

Wait for Your Wedding Dress to Go on Sale<\/strong>
\nThink the longer you wait to\u00a0buy your wedding dress the cheaper it will be? Don’t wait for flash sales or a coupon to arrive in the mail. The longer you wait to buy the dress the more expensive alterations may be if you need it in a rush. Plus, you’ll have the added stress of waiting until the last-minute.<\/p>\n

Skip the Open Bar and Do BYOB<\/strong>
\nDepending on your crowd, guests bringing their own alcohol\u00a0can be a disaster waiting to happen. If you’re not able to afford an open bar, consider doing an open bar for an hour or two and then switching to a cash bar to save a bit of money.<\/p>\n

DIY as Much as You Can<\/strong>
\nYou may think you’ll save a ton of cash DIY\u2019ing your whole wedding, but you could spend a lot more time on arts and crafts. You also may end up spending more than you think on the bits and pieces, totally counteracting paying someone to help do the decorations for you. Remember: Time is money.<\/p>\n

Giving a False Start Time<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t tell guests the ceremony starts earlier than it actually does! Not only does putting a false start time on the invitation cause confusion for your guests, it will also create a scheduling mess for your vendors. Most guests know that the time on the invitation is the actual start time, and will plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early with their Point and Shoot cameras<\/a> from Buydig.com ready to shoot.<\/p>\n

Think You Don\u2019t Need a Day-Of Coordinator<\/strong>
\nWithout a coordinator, you will be the one stuck dealing with all the tiny details. A pro will make sure everything is in order and catch those problems without you even needing to know about them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Assume Guests Aren\u2019t Coming
\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t just invite whoever you want under the assumption that most probably won\u2019t come anyway. Playing a guessing game with your guest list can cause issues with your budget when those extra responses begin to arrive. Be sure to account for each guest as you invite them. Make sure you allow for every single person\u2019s attendance in the budget.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Assume Mother Nature is on Your Side
\n<\/strong>No bride wants to think it will rain on their big day. But denying the fact that inclement weather is possible is simply irresponsible, especially for an outdoor event. You can\u2019t control the weather no matter how hard you try. So have a plan B and be prepared to use it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to recognize what advice is actually helpful and what advice should be totally ignored.<\/p>\n
