No I found the big things very easy to sort it's all the little things like table decorations and favours that I find annoying to arrange/plan/shop for x

The actual day. The planning was fine. The actual day, everything that could’ve gone wrong, did.

Never put your faith in a venue to organise your day.

I think it's the hidden costs. Like our venue gave a price for children.... this didn't include the chair?? An extra £2.50 per child 🤦‍️

I must be the only bride who didn't find the whole process stressful. Perhaps because I chose a simple ceremony at a hotel in Letchworth, with a reception in the same room? I made all the table decorations and bouquets too. I really enjoyed the preparation and I was so excited to get married, I was giggling throughout the morning, while getting ready and during the ceremony too.

Our ceremony only seats 85 guests so we sent our invites out & hardly anyone got back to us,so I put a facebook post up,which a few more commented on then its came to a stand still where we don't actually know who is coming,which I find dead rude because we can't offer these spaces to anybody else incase people just turn up without letting us know 😒

I didn't find it too stressful. Tho in the end people were texting the day before asking for extra people to come, different meals, to move seats.... I just sed no and luckily my husbands sister who was also my bridesmaid dealt with most of it for me :)

I didn’t find it stressful at all. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think because I planned MY wedding MY way and didn’t worry about all the things that people seem to stress about such as who to invite, or being bullied into doing it a certain way. It was an amazing day and I wouldn’t change a thing if I did it all again. Do what makes you happy not others

For us it was when we sent out our invites 3 people moaned within 48 hrs off which part of the day they had been invited to the one was my husband friend (not anymore) he caused a lots of issues and was bad mouthing us on Facebook made us both really ill that’s when we both decided that it was our weekend screw everyone else we would do what made us happy and if u didn’t like it then don’t come we got married 28th August 2016 and it was the best decision we made we had a wonderful day and knowing that everyone that was there wanted to be there made it even better xx

How many things there are to do lol... I don't care where we get married, I only want a few select people there and I'm not going to spend money on people who never bother with us or our children. Registry office would do me I just want to get married to the man I've been with for almost 17 yrs.

Sticking to a budget there's so many hidden costs with a wedding seems as soon as u mention the word wedding everything doubles in price! and other people having so much to say about everything stressed me out as well in the end I was like feck it its our day we'll do it our way and it was everything we wanted it to be. :)

Guest list. There are so many people we would like for the whole day but we're having to invite a lot of people to the evening only due to a maximum of 50 at the ceremony including children, babies and photographer.

I'm finding everything stressful, we are paying for it ourselves, everyone excited n wants to come but no one wants to help with anything, I have done everything on my own.

I'm the most chilled out laid back bride ever one of my bridesmaids shouted at me cos I hadn't booked for a dress fitting the wedding is 18 months away!!!

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 26 Mar 2019

Out of the whole thing it was the seating plan that was most stressful! Having certain people who can't sit with certain people! And then people who drop out last minute. Nightmare!

Our cake caused us the most stress! - our chosen supplier closed their business 4 weeks before the wedding, no warning, no where to be found and took our deposit with them.
We did find a replacement before the wedding though who made us exactly what we wanted anyway, at short notice so it turned out alright in the end!
Apart from that most of the planning was quite smooth 😊 X

Getting people to give you a definite answer. The best man in particular! Never thought he would be like it but he still hasn't told us for sure if his girlfriend is coming to the meal and we get married beginning of June, he won't commit to the rehearsal and got a feeling he is going to be an arse about his suit!

Dealing with registrars & figuring it all out. We're getting married in a county we don't live in so that was confusing 😖 Certificates fee has gone up by £7 each, from 4 to 11 (Cambridgeshire) yet my friend getting married in Suffolk is only paying £4. I don't know how they work it out. Now they're saying ceremony fee is £540 when we thought it is 500 (originally told it's 490) 🙄 I can't wait til the day now, no more stress lol 😄 x

The venue was the easy bit. So far the stressful bit was having to tell my mum that we can't invite her sisters, had to get my fiance to break that bit of news. She put a brave face on it for about a week then chewed my ear off and made me cry, triggering a semi-rude message from fiance and she hasn't spoken to me since.

Budget certainly as I was made redundant midway through and my wage took a huge hit but we are getting there!

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 27 Mar 2019

Getting the RSVP's back was by far the most stressful bit - some coming back with no names on, some coming back with more meals selected than guests invited, some not coming back at all - even my MIL didn't RSVP for the 8 people in her family- then had a screaming tantrum about being asked for responses, then after all that didn't even bother to turn up!

Loved every minute of planning my wedding!

The guest list stressed me out a little but I soon realised the people who make the effort I know are the ones who care the most.

I’m on count down now I can’t wait! 21 days to go! 🤵
