Wedding is one of the most important days in your life, but as it is said that good days tend to go fast so probably this day would go fast as well. All you can do is try t enjoy the most at the moment by avoiding a few things. We are here to help you figure that out. There are a few things that you should absolutely avoid during your wedding ceremony in order to make it the best time for yourself and your guests. These small things tend to skip our minds when there are so many important tasks to manage. We hope this article will help you avoid these things.
1. Skipping Food
No matter what, do not forget to eat. We know that you would be busy meeting guests and dressing up, but eating is very important. This usually happens between the morning ritual on the wedding day and the afternoon rituals. Another time this can happen is between post-wedding and reception. So, it is preferred that wedding and reception take place at the same venue. So, you get time to eat in the time guests can settle down.
We understand that you must want to greet your guests, but take some time off and having food would a better thing to do. Probably after having food you would smile brighter. Do not forget Indian events get extended a lot so. take your time off whenever you can. You won’t be able to enjoy your wedding with a headache or nausea.
2. Not Greeting your Guests
There is a chance you might forget that a person attended the event because you were preoccupied with greeting other guests. You don’t want to be that person who doesn’t remember her guests, you can obviously avoid this. Make sure to have photos with every guest who is there, so that you would not miss anyone. Even if you do miss it, once the food buffet starts their service you can take this time to greet everyone and thank them for coming.
3. Skipping the Dance Floor
So, this is an important day for you, so make sure you dance and make it memorable during the sangeet and Mehendi events. Who doesn’t like to shake a bit when they can?! Well, okay, maybe not everyone. But if you are avoiding because of the guest’s pressure, delegate the responsibility and make sure your parts are equally enjoying and not busy with the arrangements. Assign one of your cousins to ask you to come along politely when you are getting too busy with guests so that you can dance a bit.
4. Delaying Payment to your Vendors
This is very important, there are so many people who have actually helped you set up the place. The best thing to do is assign a person from the family with the responsibility of giving money to the vendors immediately after the event. If it is possible the best thing to do is paying in advance. Save yourself and your vendors the trouble of waiting and the discussion of the settlement could be avoided. You can wait on the caterer and the photographer but pay other vendors beforehand.
5. Not Planning Transportation
It is always good to have a vehicle in time of emergency. No matter how much you plan there is a chance that you might forget to get something or buy something. Make sure to have a two-wheeler on the premises so that people around you can easily help you with it.
6. Not Hiring a Day-Of Coordinator
Many of the Indians do not believe in hiring a coordinator. But the job of a coordinator is to take care of any mishaps. Since the wedding has been planned out, we feel that there is no need for a coordinator but they help you to actually enjoy the event and not only you but your family as well. They even manage the part about vendors, where they should go and where they should be, and answer any questions or take care of issues that might arise.
If you still decide not to go with a professional, give this responsibility to a few family members and give their contact numbers for coordination.
7. Not Getting Some Time Alone
Wedding is a very busy day, you have to constantly converse with people smile and make sure everything is going perfectly. If you ever, at any point, feel like you need some alone time, go for it. Make sure your partner and you get some time alone just to soak everything in.
