Although it's your day the enjoyment of your guests is part of the overall experience. That being said, here are the top five complaints that you don't want your guests complaining about.
Now, Let's Get Inspired!
1. Inconvenient Date: Before you choose a holiday, birthday, or a date that is very popular such as Super Bowl weekend think about your guests carefully. These may be dates that include traditions or people just don't want to miss.
2. Invitation Confusion: Be clear about the number of people that are invited. If it's plus one make sure to address the invitation as Ms. Jane Doe & Guest otherwise your guest will be confused whether they can bring someone or not. You don't want to end confirming 125 and 150 show up.
3. Cash Bar: Most guests do not bring cash to the wedding with them. As a wedding pro, me and my colleagues agree that a cash bar is inappropriate. I understand that you are trying to stay within your budget, however, if your cash is short offer a signature drink or a limited selection of beer, wine, and champagne.
4. The Wait: A cocktail hour is usually expected. Remember it's just that, a cocktail hour. If you have scheduled photos during that time make sure your photographer is aware that you do not want you guests waiting more than the allotted hour you have scheduled. Be sure to include light hors d'oeuvres as you don't want you guests hungover before dinner starts.
5. Crammed Seating: Guests do not like to eat with elbows touching. There should be enough room to eat and get up from the table with ease. Trying to keep friends and relatives together can be difficult. If you can't seat people together for fear of over crowding a table seat them at the table next to each other.
