Faux pas that could sabotage your wedding weekend—and how to avoid them.

By: Sharon Naylor

Wedding Weekend Mistake #2: Planning too many wedding weekend events.

Guests' jaws will drop (and not in a good way) if you book every morning, noon and night of their weekend itinerary, barely alloting enough time for them to change outfits in between events. Although you might have the best intentions and want to treat guests to lots of enjoyable activities, they will only see an exhausting schedule ahead of them.

Your Solution: Limit yourself to a few, well-chosen events (perhaps one per day). Give guests what they truly want: Time to spend as they wish catching up with friends they haven't seen in a long time, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying some R&R with their spouse. Downtime is essential—both for them and for you.
