Planning for your big...These are very helpful tips! Planning for your big day is really overwhelming, and it can be a pain in the neck sometimes. But this will somewhat lessen the stress for brides-to-be, as they now know what are the things to do and avoid beforehand. And I agree with number 1; that’s where most problem occurs – budget and venue. Hotels are a common choice, as they tend to cover all the reception needs. Though the main concern with that is mostly financial. But I think for those couples who would like to avoid all the troubles planning could ensue, that option would be recommended.

My biggest pet peeves were the bridal party attendees that didn't know/do what they were supposed to. For one example, we wound up planning our entire bachelorette party and then had to pay $300 towards the bus because the MOH and best man wouldn't pay the difference. They didn't even pay for our spot on the bus! Isnt that just wrong?! My other pet peeve was the people that thought they should be invited as guests and bluntly asked for their invitation. :)Julie @ Just the Joy'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027719716675836943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991149581959988036.post-47593289731861655092014-04-13T13:39:35.165-07:002014-04-13T13:39:35.165-07:00This is so so so true; Especially the one about th...This is so so so true; Especially the one about the dress. Yes, I've found a dress. No you can't see it BEFORE the wedding. My own father hasn't seen it for the wow factor. Yeesh.

I was annoyed with everyone asking me, because like you said, it's about marrying the love of your life, not about if every little thing is perfect.Erickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911414738982017683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991149581959988036.post-26613553074985925982014-04-09T08:22:51.460-07:002014-04-09T08:22:51.460-07:00Yes to all of these!

The first time I was a bridesmaid I was completely unaware of the cost that would go into it, and I kept that in mind while planning my wedding to not expect too much of my girls and tried to choose a cheaper dress and didn't dictate what shoes to wear, etc...

Our original invite list was 225 people! 225! GOODNESS right? But, we had a bunch of people that couldn't come so it became a much more manageable number. <br /><br />And yes, if girls/guys haven't been in weddings before it's a true wake up call. I was lucky, all of my bmaids/moh had been in weddings before and knew what to do. But i've had a few friends that had clueless bridal parties, oh vey that's no fun. Glad you have the one above and beyond helping you out.<br /><br />Excited for you!P!nkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193703533246466440noreply@blogger.com
