Here at New Mexico Wedding Expos and Guides, we believe that your wedding should be magical and fun. That’s why we say you a lot of planning stress by bringing all you need together in one place. But that is not all. Mistakes have been proven to take all the fun out of your wedding. So how do you avoid them? We’re glad you asked.  Here are 5 wedding planning mistakes that you must avoid.

·  Doing Anything Before Setting A Budget

Yes, we know that sometimes, extra costs show up from nowhere. That is however not an excuse for you to wing it when it comes to your wedding budget. You don’t want to be going on with your wedding planning and come to the realization that you’ve run out of money. Sitting down to make a budget with your partner might be a little difficult, but it will save you a lot of stress in the future of your wedding planning.

·  Impulsively Sending Your Save-The-Dates

After your engagement and just about when you start your wedding planning, you’re likely to still be caught up in the euphoria of the situation and want to invite and see everybody. Resist the urge. A couple more months down the line, you will discover that you may not wish to see as many people as you thought you wanted to. We advise that you at least wait until you’ve chosen a wedding venue before you send out your save the dates.

·  Letting Yourself Get Too Stressed

It is right for you to want your wedding to be perfect. You won’t achieve that by getting stressed about everything though. All you’ll end up doing is wearing out yourself and everyone around you. Delegate as much as you can and have a scale of preference. You’ll be fine and so will your wedding.

·  Being Too Chill

While we advise not letting yourself get too stressed, we also do not advise being too relaxed about the process. The key to a successful wedding planning is balance. If you relax too much, you’ll end up on the too stressed side towards the ending.

·  Not Attending Our Expo

Why would you not go for an event that will bring together all the experts, vendors and services that you’ll need for your wedding in one place? We are known to hold some of the biggest expos in the state! Be sure to check out the dates and be around. You won’t regret it.
