Wedding planning can get complicated, and it's easy to overlook details. Even what seems like a small oversight, such as scheduling a wedding limo at the wrong time, can completely change your big day. Make sure you have all angles covered by watching out for these wedding planning pitfalls.

Wedding Planning Tips

1. Lock In Your Budget

Before you buy anything for your wedding, make sure you have a firm, detailed budget. Anything you spend money on before you have a complete plan may end up decreasing your available funds for more important items.

2. Take Care With Your Guest List

A save the date may not be an official invitation, but most people expect to be invited after receiving one. Find out how many guests will fit in your venue and plan your full guest list before you send out invites.

3. Have a Rain Plan

Even if your wedding is taking place indoors, you need to have a plan for pictures and for getting guests from the parking lot to the door. For instance, you could have someone standing by with umbrellas. If you have an outdoor wedding, a backup location is a must.

4. Talk to Your Photographer

However talented your photographer and videographer are, they aren't mind-readers. You need to discuss what kind of shots you want, not just of the wedding, but of all the preparation surrounding it. By the time the wedding rolls around, you should have agreed on a detailed list.

5. Schedule Car Service

Whether you need airport transportation to start your honeymoon or you just want to leave your wedding in style, you need to have a car or wedding limo scheduled. Also, make sure your wedding party and family members have planned rides to and from the events — don't just leave them to sort out who's driving.
