Let's face it, most of us know at this point that, while it might be incredibly fun and exciting, trying to plan a wedding is one of the most stressful and difficult things that a person can do. After all, the sheer number of things that you have to think about can be enough to pretty much overwhelm a lot of people. One of the biggest mistakes that a lot of people make when planning their big day is that they forget just how important the little details are. After all, you might spend all of your time thinking about the big stuff: the dress, the venue etc. that the little things slip your mind. However, it's these little details that can really make your big day truly perfect and forgetting them can make things a lot more stressful. With that in mind, here are some little details that you shouldn't forget, no matter how crazy your wedding planning gets.
Entertainment
Let's face it, as much as the joy and excitement of the big day can carry you and your partner along, most of your guests are probably going to need a little more than that to keep them entertained at the reception. The most obvious form of entertainment is, of course, music. Whether it's a band like MSMusic or a DJ playing some of your favourite hits, giving people a chance to dance off the delicious wedding dinner is pretty much essential. Of course, if you want something a little bit more interesting, you could go in a different direction with something like magic or even circus performers to keep your guests entertained.
Seating arrangements
Where people will actually sit is one of those things that people often neglect when planning a wedding at their own peril. You need to think carefully about who's going to sit where. After all, you'll want close friends and family to sit with you, but you also want to avoid putting people together who might not get along all that well. The last thing you want is for an argument to break out in the middle of the best man's speech!
Photographs
A day as important as your wedding is one that you're going to want to cherish for as long as possible and there's no better way to do that than through photographs. Hiring a qualified photographer is something you simply can't neglect. Sure, you might think that your friend with a decent camera will do a decent enough job but the difference between an amateur and a professional is pretty much night and day. After all, you don't want your precious memories getting ruined because they're out of focus or because someone's thumb is over the lens.
It might seem like trying to keep track of everything is just too much to focus on at once. If that's something that you're struggling with, then the very best thing that you can do is to write everything down. Make a plan and put it all into a binder so that you can keep track of everything that you need to remember.
