No matter what season, day, or venue you choose for your wedding, you’ll probably encounter some unexpected issues. The key is to have a team of friends and family to help you meet those challenges and resolve them as quickly as possible. Discover some of the most common wedding issues and how to handle them.
Wedding Budget Problems
Maybe you’ve completely overshot your budget, or perhaps your budget shrank due to some other unexpected expenses. If you have a few months before the wedding, you can save money by shortening the guest list, finding less expensive flowers, or choosing different menu options.
If you’re close to the wedding date, consider forgoing some of the extra decor you had planned on, or select wedding favors, bridal party gifts, and programs that are less costly.
Reluctant RSVPs
Are you struggling to secure those coveted RSVPs? You need the final head count to give your event specialists and caterer. Recruit some of your wedding party members to call up the guests who haven’t responded and secure their “yea” or “nay” about attending your wedding.
Personal Conflicts
Is your aunt fighting with Grandma? Or maybe the bridesmaids are being snippy with each other over a perceived insult. Perhaps someone in the wedding party is being rude, unhelpful, or consistently late.
Pull aside the individual causing the trouble and gently address the situation, introducing and ending the chat with plenty of positive, affirming statements. Appeal to the person’s better nature and ask them to correct the behavior so that you can all enjoy a wonderful time together.
Pimples and Bad Haircuts
Are you or a member of the wedding party having a beauty crisis? Call in the experts! At Nanina’s in the Park, we’re happy to recommend some top vendors, including makeup artists and hair stylists. There’s no need to panic— a skilled professional can disguise a sunburn, pimple, bruise, or haircut gone wrong.
Pre-Wedding Jitters
Are you nervous about getting married? Are you having doubts? It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not in love with your spouse-to-be, or that you aren’t meant to be together. In fact, most couples go through some pre-wedding doubts, possibly brought on by the stress of planning the wedding.
Getting married is a huge commitment, so give yourself some space to work through the nerves. However, if you suspect that your relationship is really struggling, consider visiting a couple’s counselor to work through any underlying issues before you begin your lives together.
Stains on Wedding Day Outfits
Whether they happen to the wedding dress, a tux, or a bridesmaid’s gown, stains can really be an annoyance on the wedding day. Check out Bridestory.com for a helpful guide to treating various stains quickly, without making them worse.
Have a sewing kit on hand in case something else happens to a dress or tux, and appoint a savvy friend or relative to stitch, pin, or otherwise fix any problems. Plus, you can always count on the expertise and quick action of the event team at Nanina’s in the Park.
