Here is a list of 20 details you should remember when planning a wedding. Let’s put everything on the checklist to have a perfect wedding plan. Read on for more.

When it comes to planning a wedding, there are countless details to consider. So, is it really a surprise if one, two, or even 20 wedding-related elements go unnoticed? Planning a wedding—whether big or small—can be tremendously difficult, especially while balancing a full-time job. Wedding preparations are effectively a full-time job. It’s not hard to suppose that a small item is occasionally neglected, given the sheer number of details and the sheer volume of personnel, suppliers, and logistics that need to be controlled.

Here, professional wedding organizers list the top items you frequently neglect to arrange a wedding. Hopefully, this list will prevent you from overlooking these specifics as well.

Silverware Rentals

The rents are frequently extremely significant and expensive things that everyone misses. Silverware is crucial, but no one ever anticipates it to be as pricey as it is! If your venue handles it, no problems, but if not, be sure to hire the silverware since it makes any wedding table appear better.

Flowers for the Couple’s Parents

Other details that people sometimes overlook are additional boutonnieres for dads and corsages for mothers. Don’t forget to check that everyone is wearing them on the big day once you’ve ordered them. You have no idea how many times the bridal party’s photographs have begun, and I have seen the gentlemen without boutonnieres in place.

A Seamstress on Hand

When our brides are getting ready, we attempt to remind them of the significance of making sure they have everything they need for a wonderful morning. That entails making certain that someone is on hand to assist with steaming garments or fixing a burst hem.

The Marriage License

Even though obtaining a marriage license might be time-consuming, it is one of the most crucial steps in planning a wedding. After all, without it, a couple isn’t legally married. Get one and bring it to the festivities, don’t forget. Although we frequently send reminders regarding the marriage license, there have been occasions when customers had to rush back to the hotel.

Be Present

According to the founder and principal consultant of the New York City-based event planning firm Daybreak Management Group, many couples neglect to be present. The day passes so swiftly, I think. It’s crucial to inhale deeply and take it all in.

Eating on the Big Day

On their special day, couples may become so engrossed in the celebrations that they neglect to eat. The couple wants to enjoy the meal they spent months (or years) selecting in addition to getting enough nutrition to get through the excitement. Everyone also consistently forgets to eat, so I have to constantly remind everyone to do so throughout the day.

Payment for Vendors

Many vendors will take care of most of the payments before the wedding day, but others may need to run the card after the ceremony or collect the final payment a few days later. Always try to encourage couples to manage this before the big day because it might be a bit daunting.

Wedding Lighting

Lighting frequently seems to be a forgotten element. To appropriately highlight those floral masterpieces and other elements, keep in mind how important it is to arrange the right amount of room and space lighting. Never undervalue the significance of the lighting or the significant influence it may have on the overall mood and design of the wedding.

A Backup Plan for Heat and Sun

While everyone often speaks about a rain backup plan, many couples forget about a heat or sun backup plan, especially for outdoor weddings. String instruments can be damaged by sunlight. Thus musicians require a space to practice that is shaded from the sun. Your visitors will require drinks to drink and fans to keep cool if the temperature is hot.

Include Yourself in the Guest Count

Couples may neglect to count themselves when calculating the final guest count. It nonetheless occurs even if it’s the tiniest and most evident element.

Take Your Daily Meds

It may sound apparent, but occasionally couples get caught up in fun and forget to take their regular meds. They must be with you on the wedding day.

A Thank You Speech

Many couples either forego writing thank-you notes to their family, friends and guests or just wing it. That is wrong. Make sure you have everything prepared, whether it’s a quick thank you or a heartfelt speech following the cake cutting. Put away your phone. A card that has been scribbled on or printed is acceptable.

Reserve Seats for Family

Don’t forget to put signs on the chairs if you wish family members or friends to have reserved seats during the ceremony. Family is paramount!

Gratuity for Vendors

To really show your appreciation to vendors, consider adding a tip to your thank you note. Gratuity is important. If a couple feels like they have received exceptional service, it is a great idea to make sure your vendors know they did an A-plus job.

Trim Your Guest List

Many couples regret having to invite others, such as their extended family, out of necessity. They regret not prioritizing the friends and family who shared their relationship’s journey with them. Never have I met a couple who wished their wedding had more attendees.

The Vows

Many couples overlook the importance of penning their vows. I can’t even begin to tell you how many newlyweds are still working on their vows on their wedding day. The vows are the cornerstone of marriage and the center of the ceremony.

Take Pictures With Certain Guests

Photographers and event coordinators always give additional attention to the wedding party and family images. Sometimes, though, when a couple looks back at their images, they realize that they need to have made room for shots with their guests as well. A photo booth or taking a minute during the reception to welcome the guests at each table and have the photographer take a group shot of everyone is two entertaining ways to do this.

Assign Someone to Gather Gifts

Don’t forget to designate someone to gather any gifts that visitors may bring to your wedding and bring them to you after the celebrations. Don’t forget to say thanks to them too!

A Phone Charger

The day of your wedding may be lengthy, and your phone battery may go dead. Make sure you have a charger ready so you may use your phone on your special day if you so want. You wouldn’t go around without your trusty phone, would you?

Thank Yous for the Vendors

It might be simple for couples to forget to express their gratitude to their suppliers during the chaos of the wedding. But because they were the ones who carried out your big day, you should express your gratitude. I advise all of my couples to thank the suppliers in writing. Normally, I assist them with this, but it’s always a nice idea to express your gratitude to everyone for their work on your wedding day.

We hope this article helps you in planning your wedding. Wishing you a happy journey ahead.
