The Top 10 biggest mistakes

YIW does not allow you to make the mistakes that are most consistent when you organise a wedding by yourselves. Here are the top 10 most common mistakes:

1. Postponing the wedding because the “Nulla Osta” has not been issued in time.
2. Feeling a sense of panic on the morning before going to church because you realise that you have forgotten the rings;
3. Starting the ceremony with only the parents present as friends and other family members are late because their hotel is situated 100 km from the church;
4. Eating your wedding breakfast with 12 people on a table for 8 because it’s raining outside and the venue that you have chosen does not have a room that is big enough inside;
5. Delegating the entire organisation of the wedding to the Bride (or Groom) is something that particularly causes arguments, extreme stress and dissatisfaction for either the Bride or Groom or both.
6. Forgetting and not respecting your budget or spending it in an unbalanced way. For this type of event, there are many difficult contracts and negotiations with the different suppliers involved. There are many expenses that are divided into a deposit and final payment, and this all takes place over a long time period (min. 6 months). This doesn’t allow you to keep track of every expense and controlling the overall amount compared to the budget set out.
7. Having a long and boring ceremony. It is important to meet and to get to know the celebrant to make sure that the personalities and preferences of the Bride&Groom complement with those of the celebrant.
8. Experiencing anxiety and nervousness in preparing for your wedding. For those who love details and dream of an impeccable wedding, the utmost attention in its organisation can inevitably lead to anxiety, stress and nervous tension.
9. Sending invitations with insufficient cost of stamps due to the form and weight of the envelope.
10. Having a reception without music because you didn’t sign a formal contract with the singer or you didn’t make sure that the singer had paid SIAE.
