Wedding Details You Don't Want To Miss When Wedding Planning
No matter how organised you are, there are SO many things to consider while organising a wedding that it is only normal to forget a few things.
It makes sense that some details might be missed when wedding planning because there are so many things to think about.
To prevent any stress, make sure to write down all the important wedding details you don’t want to miss when wedding planning.
10 Wedding Details You Don’t Want To Miss
Create a Playlist
Card Exchange Between Bride and Groom
Drinks Menu At The Bar
Pack An Essentials Bag
Bring Spare Shoes
Wedding Party Transportation
Day-Of Point Person
Wedding Website and Email For Wedmin
Check Guests for Allergies and Dietary Restrictions

Create a Playlist
This will be a fun wedding detail to work on over time and you can ask your guests to add their favourite tunes too. Add a song to your list every time you hear one you like on the radio! This will create the best party atmosphere for your wedding.
Another idea is to create a getting-ready playlist, for when the wedding party are getting ready!
Card Exchange
Imagine a really sweet photo of you both reading the letters that you wrote to each other the morning of your wedding. Not only that, but this is a wedding detail you don’t want to miss - what a wonderful keepsake you can read for years to come.
Drinks Menu At The Bar
This is such a fantastic way to inform your guests of the specialised drinks that are offered, as well as which drinks are free (if you are offering this) and which they have to buy.
The bartender will also appreciate this wedding detail as they won't have to repeatedly reiterate what is available, which will keep the line going fast. While they wait in line, guests can go over the menu! Signature cocktails are always a fun idea and bring in some of your personality!
Pack An Essentials Bag
I strongly advise bringing some emergency supplies. Here is a list of things you could include:
Sanitary Products
Makeup
Deodorant
Perfume
Tiny sewing kit
Hair pins and hairspray
Security pins
Mini First Aid Kit
Water and Snacks
This is a wedding detail you don’t want to miss, as you just never know when you will need these little essentials.
Bring Spare Shoes
If you intend to wear some absolutely killer heels, I always suggest bringing a spare pair of footwear. Put on your party shoes and get to the dancefloor to dance the night away. This is a wedding detail you won’t want to miss, as you will appreciate this so much!
Wedding Party Transportation
Arrive at the ceremony in style by booking all of your transport. But what about your guests? Whether you decide to hire some lovely wedding cars, a big red bus or plan for a family member to do the honour, be sure to not overlook this wedding detail.
Day-Of Point Person
You do not want to be setting tables, taking calls, and dealing with last-minute questions on the day of your wedding, do you?
You have planned to spend time with your wedding party and close family members, get glammed up, and simply take it all in.
Because of the nature of weddings, there are always some tasks that need to be completed on the day. So, for your own peace of mind, delegate these tasks to someone else.
If you would prefer that your friends and relatives didn't have to work on your wedding, consider hiring a professional who has seen it all before and can handle all the questions and last minute wedding details.
Wedding Website and Email For Wedmin
Take the time to create a wedding webpage for yourselves if you haven't already. There are a tonne of fantastic free options, or you can pay a little more to customise it - it doesn't have to be fancy.
You can easily send your guests to a website for further information, and you can easily and quickly update it with any new information or last-minute changes.
Create a separate email address so all of the relevant wedding emails are in one inbox and not getting lost with your other general or spam emails.
You will truly appreciate this wedding detail, as it will keep the process super organised!
Check Guests for Allergies and Dietary Restrictions
A wedding detail you don’t want to miss when wedding planning is to avoid providing potentially harmful food, your caterers must be aware of who in your party has allergies and the severity of those allergies in advance.
Because everyone is busy and might have missed your earlier requests, ask your guests again soon before your catering numbers are due, on the wedding website, and on the first invitation.
Order Supplier Meals and Check Their Dietaries
On the day of your wedding, some of your suppliers may spend up to 12 hours standing up and moving around - as a wedding photographer, this is what it is like for us!
Be sure to ask them if they have any dietary requirements, and provide a hot, tasty meal and they will love you forever!
Add Them To Your Wedding Checklist
Even as a wedding photographer we think of the small details to capture on your wedding day, as well as the big and obvious moments. From the stationary to the tears running down your loved ones’ faces, to your accessories laid out.
Those small details can truly tell the story of your day and create a smoother process, so do not forget them!
Now you know the wedding details you don’t want to miss when wedding planning, be sure to add them to your wedding checklist and tick them off as you go!
