What Newlyweds Should Not Do in Wedding Preparations ① Relying Solely on the Bride (or Groom)

It's absolutely a no-go to leave all the wedding preparations to either the bride or groom! This can lead to one partner feeling overwhelmed, increasing the likelihood of conflict.

Since the wedding is a joint event, it's important to prepare together amicably.* If you really can't help out with preparations, showing concern by giving a shoulder massage or making coffee for your partner is essential.◎

What Newlyweds Should Not Do in Wedding Preparations ② Ignoring Etiquette for Announcements and Invitations

There are certain manners regarding the timing, order, and method of making wedding announcements and sending invitations. While you don't have to follow all the rules precisely, avoid situations like "receiving an invitation without any prior announcement of the wedding" or "getting the invitation just two weeks before the wedding."*

Similarly, ensure that you don't leave tasks such as reception management, guest speeches, and toasts to the last minute; request these in advance.*

What Newlyweds Should Not Do in Wedding Preparations ③ Not Talking About the Wedding with Parents

Sometimes, couples avoid discussing wedding plans with their parents or their partner's parents. Unless there are special circumstances, it's good to keep them lightly informed about the progress of preparations.*

Parents might feel happy about their child's wedding, but they can also be anxious about whether everything is okay with just the two of you handling preparations. By discussing the planning with them, you can help alleviate their worries regarding the wedding day. It's also important to respect your parents' opinions as much as possible.*

What Newlyweds Should Not Do in Wedding Preparations ④ Discussing Wedding Preparations with Guests

As you progress through wedding preparations, it can be easy to inadvertently spill details to friends, such as "the quality of the food" or "complaints about the venue." While this might be acceptable in a private family ceremony, it's a no-go when talking to invited friends!

Especially avoid discussing money-related topics. This is very rude to friends who are attending and contributing cash gifts. Complaints about the venue should also be avoided as a safety measure. Over-sharing may take away the excitement of the wedding day, so it's best to keep such discussions to a minimum.◎

What Newlyweds Should Not Do in Wedding Preparations ⑤ Trying to DIY Everything

Nowadays, DIY weddings are trending, with many items such as seating charts, place cards, welcome boards, and welcome bears being DIY-able.* However, do you really need to DIY everything?

Starting DIY projects to save money can sometimes end up costing more due to material expenses, and taking on too many projects can lead to frustration and a sense of being overwhelmed. Everything looking too handmade can give off a shabby vibe. While DIY can add heartfelt touches, it's also important to reconsider whether it's truly necessary to make everything yourself.*
