Of course, you’re probably about to explode with excitement over your wedding, and you’re wanting to share every little detail with everyone. However, there should be an element of surprise on your big day, you don’t want everyone knowing all the details before the day even arrives. So here are the details we suggest keeping on the down low before the big day.
The dress and outfits
Everyone will be asking what you’re wearing, and begging for pictures. However, we suggest keeping your outfit a secret, except to those closest to you, right up until you walk down the aisle. Your guests will be blown away when they see you for the first time, and it’ll be a great surprise.
Hair and makeup
No matter what you choose, everyone will have an opinion and this may lead you to worry about your decisions. However you look on your wedding day is entirely up to you and how you feel most beautiful, so it’s best to keep this all secret from those prying individuals, unwanted comments are the last thing you need.
Decor and colour palette
Another element that should be a surprise to your guests- you want them to be blown away when they walk in, not to already expecting every little detail. Just tell them you want it to be a surprise!
First dance song
Whatever you and your partner choose as your first dance song is unique and personal to you, and is often something that some of your guests may not understand. Sharing your first dance song before the wedding day may probe some comments that will make you second-guess your choice- and who needs that kind of negativity? It’s your day!
Details of the guest list
A very sensitive topic when it comes to wedding planning. Discussions surrounding the wedding guest list will open up a can of worms with questions like ‘Why aren’t they invited?’ or ‘Can this person come?’ Keep the guest list private to only yourself and those closest to you. On the same topic, it’s best to keep the reception seating arrangements private also, or you may get guests asking to be moved before the day even arrives.
The favours
Favours are gifts to your guests- and gifts should be kept secret! So these should be among the details that you’ll keep private prior to the big day.
The surprise details
Keep any little details that you’re planning to be a surprise, well… a surprise! Don’t tell anyone if you’re planning on having a fireworks show or a photo booth, even if you tell one guest, it’s likely that the news will spread around. You want the day to be unique and fun for your guests, so keep the details to yourself, your partner and your wedding planner of course!
