Planning a large wedding
We don’t want to scare you off, but psychologists say that planning a wedding can be one of the more stressful things you will ever do. And it makes sense, given the wide range of details that must come together in a flawless way (plus don’t forget all the emotions and relatives involved as well)!
Wedding planning is difficult regardless of size, season, and style. But when it comes to large weddings, things can easily get complicated if you don’t pay attention.
What are the essential tips for planning large weddings?
Read on and find out more.
• Having a Plan B is crucial. It always is, really. But check out the movie November Rain – there’s a scene where rain starts to pour down on the wedding guests and everything turns into chaos. You don’t want that at your wedding, do you? So, be sure your plans have a backup to make sure unexpected events do not ruin everyone’s mood for partying. It’s better to be safe and plan some sort of backup plan (like an indoor space or wedding tent for guests to take cover in case the skies decide to rain down on you).
• Every detail matters. Again, it always does. But if you have a lot of guests, things can get exponentially worse if you don’t triple check all details. From seat arrangement and wedding favors, to making sure there are enough food and drinks for everyone, every detail can make a huge difference. When the wedding is small, you can probably fix these things quickly. But if the wedding is larger, things will be a lot more difficult to fix at the last moment.
• Your venue is of paramount importance. Obviously, you need a wedding large enough to accommodate everyone invited at the wedding. Do keep in mind, however, that this is not just about the tables and the seats, but also about the actual space, the dance floor, and so on. You want everyone to be comfortable, and you don’t want your wedding to feel like a crammed event, as this would make people feel awkward and could spoil the wonderful mood you are trying to create.
• Consider getting a good professional wedding planner. The large the wedding, the more difficult it will be to organize everything. The cost might well worth it.
