Three most common WORST wedding planning "tips":
🌟DIY will save a ton of money.
❌Really, it may save you a little money, but it's going to cost you time and labor instead. Those backyard weddings are actually some of the most intense weddings. Sometimes it's worth paying for the peace of mind.
🌟They're expecting to come to our wedding, so we should invite them.
❌NOPE. I don't care if they invited you to theirs or if they're family. If you don't feel close to them or haven't spoken in the last year, don't do it. Usually, the people you only invite out of obligation and hope will say no are the first ones to RSVP yes.
🌟Destination weddings will save you money.
❌Maybe! But here's the deal, if you invite people somewhere that's expensive to get to/stay, you may naturally knock out a few, but people who are pumped to use it as an excuse to have their own little vacation before/after your wedding? They'll come. 100 people in Cabo v. the US is still expensive. Good rule of thumb: be prepared for every person you invite to say yes. We got married in the middle of nowhere, minimum 2 hours away from where most of our friends/family lived, with the closest hotel 30+ minutes away. We invited 190, expecting 130. Only 6 people RSVP'd no. Plan accordingly!
