Four Common Disasters That Happen At Weddings

Four Common Disasters That Happen At Weddings
By Andrew Stratton

Are you starting to feel a little worried about all the things that could go wrong at your wedding? Take a break from the stress, breathe deeply, and read on to find out how to deal with certain situations that happen at weddings.

A Child That Goes Wild

Sure, it's very cute to have your niece as the pretty flower girl and your nephew as ring bearer. However, no one wants to see a pair of wild children running around in circles and breaking things at the reception.

Solution: Plan ahead! If there are several children invited to your nuptials, make sure to have a designated children's table and prizes to keep them entertained. Consider a small drawing book and some crayons, a discreet board game, or even a few sticker books. Also, consider having an outdoor space available so they can run wild and have a good time.

Lost Guests

The ceremony went beautifully! Now it's time to have a good time at the reception, but there's a problem: some of your guests are missing! You probably don't want grandma driving around in circles trying to find the right location.

Solution: For this situation you have several options. The first one is to choose a venue that will host both the ceremony and the reception. However, if you decide to have the ceremony and the reception in two different places, you can print out a map with directions to the reception and hand it out after the ceremony is done.

Unexpected Guests

There's nothing more awkward than a surprise guest: a person who received an invitation but didn't RSVP, an unexpected plus one for one of your guests, or even a second cousin who found out about your special day and thought she was invited because she's family. How awkward!

Solution: If you suspect this might happen, talk to your wedding coordinator about having some extra chairs and extra meals. Some people even opt to have an extra table, just in case.

A Drunk Uncle

Everybody has a relative or friend who can't hold their liquor very well. Weddings are the perfect occasions for lively celebration, but you don't want to have to worry about things getting out of hand.

Solution: If it's possible for you to not invite this person, then don't. If you must, then say something to them beforehand. Be compassionate and tactful. Also, talk to your planner about your "special guest." Planners have plenty of experience and have probably advised other couples in this same situation. Don't be afraid to ask for advice!

The most important thing to remember about weddings is that they go by very fast. After many months of planning and dreaming about your special day, the best thing you can do is enjoy yourself. Don't let these or any other disasters ruin your day.
