I’m a planner and the largest oops I had to deal with is when my Bride got fed up with her mom, his mom,aunt and grandma who apparently chose everything cancelled everything (I mean everything) the day before the wedding. She called me up and said she had done a touch and she needed my help. I said I’m here for you and all my brides who may need a guiding hand and that’s when she told me what she had done. Needless to say I told her that I needed to see her and her fiance NOW and we met at my office. I clarified that by her doing what she did not only meant they would have nothing for their wedding but that she lost all the deposits they had given as those are non-refundable. Then I told them let’s go shopping. Since I knew what she had as far as a dress,cake,flowers,etc. after hanging up with her I immediately called my vendors,told them the tale and went from there. I sent the groom in to get fitted for his tux(tuxes were already he just had to get alterations), took the bride into a marriage shop(dresses had been pulled and set aside so we just walked in), met up with the groom had lunch, went to bakery for taste testing (already had been set up),went to florist (he had made a small sample of her bouquet),had a photographer/videographer already set, D.J. was my own choice (always had him as a backup), sent them home to relax just long enough to gather wedding party together and meet me at the tux and marriage shop. Had an emergency rehersal and sent them home. Told them all they needed to do was show up at the venue and everything would be there in place waiting to go. Had sent limo to pick up marriage party and bring them to the venue. Had set up hair and makeup there, dressing rooms for all with drinks so they could just breathe for an instant before the day started. After everything was said and done, I gave the couple an envelope and told them this was my gift to them on their special day. Small did they know that the envelope contained all their deposits they thought they lost and a note stating that everything that they had received was on the house and the balance due was zero.
That was 1991…………………
Wow !!you got out simple…I had no wedding ring..I had to use a borrowed one… My husband ordered them and when mine came it ..It didn’t fit at all so the jeweler promised to have it back in time…I got it 3 weeks after the wedding….
My bridesmaids gowns got lost in the mail and 2 days before the wedding they were found …Thank God they all fit!!!
My husband didn’t tell me that he ordered baby blue tuxes til 1 week before…he just said blue …when I found out ..I made him go exchange them all …I had bright red ,,bridesmaids dresses ,,and I didn’t want a red white and baby blue wedding in 1976 (The bicentennial)
My photographer was 15 mins late getting to the wedding ,,,someone blocked his driveway …..So I was late..
Same thing with flowers…My flowers got messed up and 3 girls didn’t have headpieces…..So we made a touch up with flowers That were centerpieces at the reception ….
My husband was not well,,,,could have to do with we stayed out til 4 hrs before we were supposed to get married….We wanted to spend as much time celebrating with our friends …Since they all would have to go back to college aptly after the wedding…
The car keys that were supposed to be safe and secure for our honeymoon ,,,got misplaced ….so we couldn’t leave til the next day…That sort of was a blessing in desguise…WE were SOOO TIRED to drive anywhere…
We had a bed and an Apt but it wasn’t supposed to be in until after the wedding…so NO pillows or blankets even…At least it was Summer time and warm….
The list goes on….But we still laugh about all the things that happened …GOOD ,BAD,UGLY …..It still was a PERFECT DAY and we are still married 32 yrs later….
My first wife!
We’ve not ordered anything yet, but have already managed to offend people with our guest lists! Argh! We have no money, so why should we invite family members we hardly know?
And if you don’t want kids there, where do you draw the line? My partner has a niece and nephew (7 and 4), and then our best friends have kids…
My largest wedding preparation opps was when I didn’t have enough favors for all the guests. It wasn’t anything major but it was a touch.
My largest wedding oops was the invitations. I made my own they came out gorgeous..all 235 of them. Even if I forgot to place the place of the ceremony on the invitations!! So I place them on a card that resembled our RSVP card…I was not about to do all of them over again! To this day I say to myself..DUH You idiot! LOL
Well my 3 largest oops.. were NOT going to vegas like my hubby had suggested
2: I should have taken a honeymoon, instead of showing my stupid in-laws around california the week we were married
3: Inviting my room mates to my wedding and reception.
Suffice it to say.. My wedding day sucked!! Excellent luck.
So far so excellent for me. I dont reckon i will know for sure if i had made a mistake until the very day! Im really praying that everything goes as plotted!
Very excellent questions by the way, gives us that are currently preparation a heads up on what to look for! Im marking this an fascinating question!
Excellent luck with the rest of your preparation! I bet everything is going to be gorgeous!
well my fiancee and i chose to make our own invitations to save money, (we just got a home computer) so we typed them all up i got the decorative printing paper. i printed out 150 invitations and we waterproof read them. we thought that everything looked just fine. a week later my Soon to be mother in-law comes for a visit and she wants to see the invitations. i was very proud of my self for making them. she read over them, she looked up at me and said YOU FORGOT TO ADD THE DATE.! needless to say i had to start over. with the expense of the paper and more ink i doubtless should of just had them professionally done. GOOD LUCK. !!!
I’m preparation my huge day in a year or two i reckon i have everything but this is a excellent question so i gave you a star to see others answers
not counting it will be an adult only wedding! and in some way telling people that because they got an invitation doesn’t mean that everyone on the block they( guest knows) can come as well to a wedding , some of these people I don’t even know. ( very irritated )
some people have no manners.
I was going to have open seating but now , it will be all about assigned seating no seating card you are not sitting your but down at a table … with an univited guest for a free meal & free drinks all night.
Sorry i am just so fuming about this…
it wasn’t a plot oops , but i did start laughing + could not stop , no matter how hard i tried , the lady judge told me not a da*n thing was amusing about it . that only made it worse .
I haven’t even begun to start yet… It is the end of next year… I’m sure I will have many. I should doubtless start, huh?
