When it comes to wedding planning, you want your special day to go as smoothly as possible. Unfortunately, not many of us are professional wedding planners, and event planners in Philadelphia see too many brides and grooms finding themselves falling into the same wedding mistakes every year. If you’re getting ready to tie the knot, then make sure to be aware of these common wedding blunders – and educate yourself on how you can avoid them!

• Running out of food and drinks. There are few things more embarrassing than leaving guests hungry before the event is over. To avoid running out of food, make sure you over plan for the amount that guests will eat. An event planning company in Philadelphia can make sure you have the perfect amount of food for everyone on your guest list, but always remember- it’s better to have tasty leftovers than to run out of food!

• Not booking your venue in advance. If you want to have your dream wedding, you need to secure a venue! After you’ve chosen a date for your event, the absolute next thing you and your fiancé should do is nail down a venue. It’s recommended that you book your wedding location at least eight months in advance of the date.

• Ordering a dress that’s too small. It’s happened to many a bride-to-be; you find your perfect dress, but you plan on losing weight before the big day. So instead of buying a dress in your current size, you purchase it two sizes too small and then commit to trying to make it fit.

The problem is that trying to force yourself to become a treadmill addict or crash-dieting is almost never successful – the chances are likely that instead of losing weight, you’ll slide back into your old eating habits and be stuck with a dress that you can’t breathe in. Instead, purchase a dress in your current size, and choose a realistic fitness goal to work towards – like being more toned, or losing five pounds instead of twenty.
