10 Things Your Wedding Guests Don’t Care About
Here’s a link to a recent article titled “10 Things Your Wedding Guests Don’t Care About“. While you may not agree with each of the 10 items listed, I think the underlying message is a good one. There are literally scores of things to consider and make decisions about when planning your wedding. It can become totally overwhelming if you spend a lot of time on each item. You can make your life even more difficult if you get caught up with Pinterest and try to recreate the many cute, but often unnecessary items found there.
So what do you focus on? I’ve written before suggesting that you identify the five or six things that you really value and focus on those. The article above looks at this idea from another angle, suggesting things that your guests might not notice or appreciate, and that you, therefore, don’t need to spend much time (or money) on. At the bottom of the article are also the five things the author claims the guests WILL care about. Hopefully, those will line up fairly closely with the things you care about, too.
Even if you disagree with the author on the items in either list, it’s worth considering this approach. If you’re spending lots of time (or money) on things that you believe your guests won’t notice or value, those might be great candidates to either forgo altogether, delegate to a parent or close friend to handle for you, or make a quick decision on and move forward. This approach will leave you more resources (both time and money) to handle those things that are important to you (and likely also to your guests).
Every couple has a vision for what their wedding day will be, and you want to bring that vision to life as much as possible. By letting go of some of the less important aspects of your day you can ensure that your focus stays on the heart of the day, which is after all, all about the love in your heart.
