Some Wedding Disasters!

                                       

1. Children at the reception

It can be cute and charming as they are walking down the aisle as the quests ooh and aah at the beautiful flower girl and ring bearer, but I have always noticed the parents of these children and how nervous they get as they just pray that the little ones will make it down the aisle doing exactly what they are supposed to.  I have never not seen the children make it a beautiful event, it is the reception where the help is needed.  Plan with a babysitter and a special room for the children at the formal event or setup special table covers with coloring cloth for them to have special activities to keep them busy.  This is a long and tiring day for them and you don't want it to ruin your day too!

2. Drunk guests

You have planned everything just right, but you are running out of liquor?  Maybe your guests are drinking more than you expected.  Don't get caught with worry at the end of your event, have a shuttle bus set up to cater to your guests bringing them back and forth from the  reception to hotel!

3. Snow

It is a little unlikely that your bride will be smiling like this stuck out in the snow!  Make sure your tented event has enough heaters!  In certain areas it can get really cold even in September.

4. Wind and rain

These candles won't look like this on a windy day if you are on the beach under a tent!  So, you may have to say good bye to a lot of your candle ideas and go with electric lighting!  Have a backup plan!  Is it raining?  Make sure you have a large golf umbrella that is big enough for two so that the bride does not ruin her dress.

5. Contracts

Get everything in writing!  Last minute changes to your event on a verbal agreement?  At least send the vendor a quick email to clarify this change so there will be no last minute misunderstandings.

Happy Planning!
