Most Common Wedding Problems and

 How to Deal with Them

Engagement parties

There may be some confusion as to whether the bride’s parents should play hosts during the engagement party and divide the other parties with the groom’s side. This can be fairly flexible now, and the couple can even choose to host all parties by themselves, pitching in equally. You don’t need to be too rigid about this and it is okay to go with your preferences.

Budgeting Risks

It might feel slightly overwhelming to take care of the budget, and the costs may rack up over time especially when you consider beauty treatment options months, days and weeks before the wedding. Make sure you try out a few smart strategies to balance things. All your costs will automatically go down if you keep an eye on your guest list. You can also consider booking on a weekday or during the off-season to save more money. For things like your outfit, consult several people to make sure you’re settling on something that suits you financially too.

Sharing costs

This might be slightly tricky to solve. How do you divide the costs with the groom’s family if everyone has agreed to pay for the wedding? In this case, it’s best to plan together. Consider which side feels more strongly about certain elements like the décor and decide accordingly. The best way to tackle this is to have a good discussion and note everything down, splitting the costs equally.

Tradition versus modernity

The parents may want to ensure traditions are kept in place and may plan the ceremonies accordingly. If you want things to feel slightly more modern, chat with your fiancé and discuss your options. You should take their thoughts into consideration but try to mix and match instead of going the extreme way and making it too modern or vice-versa.

Plus-ones

If you’re going with a strict budget and a restricted guest list, it might be confusing to decide how to ask your guests about getting a plus-one. If you know friends who are committed and are in long-term relationships, invite their partners. You can politely request single friends to not get anyone else along and say you wish to make it a private affair.
