117: 10 Things Your Wedding Guests Hate, But Won't Tell You

Unbridely - Modern Wedding Planning

How can you be sure you’re planning a wedding that your family and friends will actually enjoy?

In my job as a celebrant here in Australia this wedding season, I’ve been reminded of some of the basics of wedding planning and how, frequently, it doesn’t matter how big or modest your budget is.

These concepts are about making a welcoming and comfortable space for your guests so they want to stay, and in fact, when the lights come on after last drinks have been called:

1) There’ll still be people there and

2) There’ll be an audible groan that the celebrations have come to an end.

Today I’m sharing the top 10 things that wedding guests secretly hate, but won’t complain about (to you, at least).
