While planning your event, you may come across various pieces of advice, but not all of them are helpful or relevant to your situation. Here are some common pieces of advice you should ignore:

1. “You Need to Please Everyone”: Trying to accommodate everyone’s preferences can lead to a disjointed and unfocused event. Focus on what’s important to you and your guests.

2. “Spend More to Impress”: Spending beyond your budget to impress guests is unnecessary and can lead to financial stress. Stick to your budget and prioritise spending on what matters most to you.

3. “DIY Everything to Save Money”: While DIY projects can save money, they can also be time-consuming and may not always yield professional results. Choose DIY projects wisely and consider outsourcing tasks when necessary.

4. “Follow Trends Blindly”: Trends come and go, but your event should reflect your personal style and preferences. Don’t feel pressured to incorporate every trend – choose elements that resonate with you.

5. “Don’t Hire a Professional”: While DIY planning is an option, hiring a professional event planner can save you time, stress, in some cases money, and ensure a smoother execution of your vision.

6. “Copy Someone Else’s Event”: Your event should be unique to you and your guests. Avoid copying someone else’s ideas or themes and focus on creating a personalised experience.

7. “It’s All About the Instagram-Worthy Moments”: While aesthetics are important, prioritising Instagram-worthy moments over genuine experiences can detract from the authenticity of your event.

8. “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff”: While it’s important not to get bogged down by minor details, overlooking important details can lead to problems on the day of the event. Pay attention to both big picture and small details, after all it can be the small details that make all the difference.

9. “More Guests = Better Event”: A larger guest list doesn’t necessarily equate to a better event. Focus on creating an intimate gathering with the people who matter most to you.

10. “You Can’t Change Your Plans”: Flexibility is key when planning an event. Don’t be afraid to make changes or adjustments as needed to ensure the success of your event.

These are what we find to be the 10 most common – but the gist is that not everyone knows everything they think they do so take all advice with a grain of salt and filter carefully what you decide to listen too. Prioritise what you want as it’s your event and don’t let someone else or social media influence or sway your decisions. You’ll likely regret it in years to come.
