You will simply drive yourself crazy with all the work. Think about who you are most close to and only invite them. You will be glad that you did.

#2 Getting A Loan: Many couples think it’s a good idea to get a wedding loan. This is a bad idea. One of the worst things you can do is start your marriage off in a pile of debt. Lower your budget to a size that is much easier to afford. You will be glad that you did.

#3 Letting Your Emotions Control You: Your biggest enemy is often yourself. Specifically, your emotions can cause you to go over budget. Always remind yourself that your wedding will be great regardless of how money you spend.

#4 Open Bar Nightmares: An open bar is nothing but a nightmare if you have lots of guests that drinks. It will be extremely costly. A better option is to let your guests buy their own drinks. Make sure you tell them on the invitations that there will not be an open bar. It might make a few of them mad, but it will help you stay within your budget.
