Avoid These Wedding Day Mishaps And Have A Truly Happy One

As they say, live every moment to the fullest so that you don't have any regrets later. So enjoy all the excitement and fun of the gala celebration that a 'Big Fat Indian Wedding' is. But when you have the responsibility of planning the wedding, coordinating with all the vendors and guests, and selecting your wedding attire(for the groom), all the plans for fun can go down the drain. All you'll be left with would be the satisfaction of seeing the perfect wedding in the pictures and videos while you were busy coordinating to make that happen. Let us tell you about the top wedding day regrets people have and how to avoid them.

Indian weddings are all about grandeur and one function after the next. So, for a person who has taken up the responsibility of taking care of the planning and execution, usually slides away from taking a backseat and enjoying the wedding functions one after the other. So, keep these wedding day hacks in mind as they happen to be some of the most common regrets that people usually have in terms of weddings. 

1. Less stress, more fun

Many people realise that they worried too much about getting things done and didn’t have enough fun. It’s important to take time out to be with your partner, especially during those moments and not just talk to each other during the ceremony and express how you feel. Too much stress will make it impossible to enjoy the wedding’s big moments and you’ll end up remembering only being all over the place and worried about things that may not even matter much later. Relax and let the professionals you’ve hired to take care of things do their job. So, delegate duties to people hwo will shoulder your responsibilites as their own and you make the most of these functions as they will not exist for ever. 

2. Disappointed with the size of the venue

It may feel like your space is too cramped up for the number of guests you end up inviting at the wedding day. This may feel like a major letdown, especially because of how crowded and claustrophobic the environment may get. Or it may be too big and feel cold and not intimate enough. The key is to strike a balance and not only think about the location and the theme while finalizing the venue. Do keep the number of guests in mind and ask your wedding planner for options. Double-check with the venue coordinators about space constraints and the number of guests you’ve invited if you’re not too sure. It is better to have to cross-check everything over and over again rather than having a clamped up and cluttered gathering, right? so, save yourself the trouble of stressing about the capacity of the venue on your wedding day and divvy that task for a few weeks prior to your big day. 

3. Inviting too many people you’re not close to

It is understandable that there will be many expectations in this department. You may not be able to get out of calling certain family members and have to make sure you do listen to your parents and accommodate guests from their side. Remember that you must not give in to too much pressure and call too many people you don’t know well. The last thing you need is to feel confused at your own wedding day with an overwhelmingly large number of people you’re not familiar with. You want your wedding day to be special and need to spend it with those closest to you.

4. Comfortable and not just flashy shoes would have worked better

Focusing too much on how stylish the shoes may work well for your outfit and overall style, but may end up causing other problems. You’ll have to stand and move around a lot, especially during the reception. Uncomfortable shoes will make it hellish to get through the day and you’ll be left with angry blisters at the end of the day. If you must wear heels but aren’t used to them, get the most comfortable and stylish pair you can find. It’s also smart to keep a backup handy so that you can give your feet some respite during brief intervals you will have on your wedding day.

We hope that the above-mentioned reasons have convinced you to take some time out for yourself. Do keep in mind that at the end of the day, it is your wedding that will become your memories. Your guests would forget about it after some time. Ensure that you don't have any such regrets about your big day. Give priority to your family and close friends as these will be the last moments you spend with them as a bachelor/spinster. Follow these wedding days hack to ensure that you don't live up to have even one single regret in terms of how you could have done things differently on the day of the wedding and days leading up to those big moments.
