[Source] We thought this might be useful as it’s not a commonly discussed topic and, in fact, is something many couples overlook. Most vendors just want something simple while working a wedding, and for wedding planners, photographers, videographers and the like who probably won’t have time to grab a bite the entire time, it’s a good idea to prepare something that they can eat quickly beforehand. The last thing you want is a hungry, lethargic wedding planner or photographer who can barely think straight. When? Feed them no later than half an hour before your guests arrive, or during the first course of your reception meal. Alternatively, ask them what…

They keep everything to themselves and think that on their wedding day, someone will magically make everything they have imagined come to pass. Here are 10 common mistakes that brides make: #01 Not hiring a wedding planner or coordinator Yes, they might be a bit pricey, but you will be thankful for their help and professional advice. There’s no need to repeat the mistakes that other brides have made.

To show some gratitude to your groomsmen, buy them gifts. You don’t have to get them Rolex watches – unless your budget allows it, then why not? – but don’t be cheap as well.
