Common Mistakes to Avoid
Learn from these common pitfalls to ensure your documentation is effective
⚠Not creating offline master document accessible during wedding day
Solution:
Compile comprehensive wedding day PDF with all vendor contacts, timing, and details. When things go wrong during wedding stress, you need quick reference without hunting through multiple conversations. Print backup copy in case phones fail.
⚠Assuming vendors remember your specific requests without written confirmation
Solution:
Confirm all critical details in writing via WhatsApp: song selections, flower colors, menu choices, photo locations, timing. Vendors manage multiple weddings; written confirmation prevents mix-ups and creates accountability.
⚠Not documenting agreements with wedding party causing day-of confusion
Solution:
Written confirmation of wedding party responsibilities prevents day-of disasters. Who's doing readings? What's processional order? When is hair/makeup? Written documentation ensures everyone knows their role.
⚠Losing planning memories and decisions in scattered conversations
Solution:
Archive planning conversations as keepsakes. Years later, revisiting how you chose venues, debated details, and made decisions adds rich context to wedding memories. This documentation becomes treasured family history.
