Wedding No-Gos for Couples
If it fits your budget and guest list, it’s always appreciated when guests are allowed to bring a plus-one.
This is especially important for guests who don’t know many people at your wedding.
If you do decide against plus-ones, communicate this clearly and kindly.
Don’t let small delays or mishaps upset you during your getting ready. There are so many emotions involved — don’t let negative thoughts take over.
Take care of yourself:
- stay hydrated
- eat enough
- keep the room organised
- create a calm atmosphere
The morning sets the tone for the rest of your day.
Many couples forget to eat enough throughout the day (nerves + excitement!).
This often leads to headaches, irritability, or exhaustion.
Make sure you eat:
- breakfast
- snacks during the day
- and your actual wedding dinner
You’ll need the energy — especially if you want to party!
A clear timeline is essential so your vendors, guests, and bridal party know what’s happening when.
Your timeline should include:
- vendor arrival times
- ceremony start
- cocktail hour
- dinner
- speeches
- dances
- cake
- party
Without it, the day becomes chaotic — and you will feel the stress.
A wedding without a dress code leads to confusion.
Many guests feel insecure:
“Is this too formal? Too casual?”
To avoid this:
- choose a dress code that fits your style
- communicate it clearly on your invitation or website
Guests will thank you for the clarity.
Your vendors work for 8–12 hours on your wedding day.
Make sure they are provided with meals and water — especially:
- photographer
- videographer
- planner
- band/DJ
- stylists (if on-site long-term)
Hungry vendors = unhappy vendors.
Sometimes couples get so caught up in schedule, photos, and guests that they forget to enjoy the magic of the moment.
Take intentional pauses during the day to:
- breathe
- look at each other
- soak in the atmosphere
Your wedding day goes by incredibly fast — cherish it.
