I saw an old post on this topic and it was very helpful, so I’m reviving it here. The posts on “what did you the most as a guest” wasn’t as helpful as I’d hoped (and terribly acrimonious)! So, if you’re recently we’d or formerly wed, what are the things you would’ve done differently or what did you do that was AWESOME?
This will be my 2nd wedding &, aside from picking a different groom 😂, here are some things I would’ve done (and am doing) differently:
1) I wouldn’t have done the destination wedding. We married in St. John. There were 30 guests but only 5 from my side. I had no expectations that there would be more, but I do regret that.
2) I wouldn’t have done the outdoor wedding. In the days leading up to the wedding, I stressed too much about the weather & in the VIrgin islands it rains sporadically so it was hit or miss and we didn’t have a backup plan 😖
3) I wish I would’ve had them box up some food (& cake) for me! I am one that doesn’t eat at weddings period, much less my own. So, I was starving later and everyone still talks about great the cake was 😢
What I did right? I focused on enjoying the day NO MATTER WHAT! Whatever little things were bothering me, I pushed them away & actually had a great time because I kept my stress at bay!
Please share your on regrets and successes!
