Tips for Forming a Wedding Backup Plan
Are you getting married in the great outdoors? Even more importantly, are you getting married somewhere that, while beautiful, is a bit unpredictable, such as Maui?
If you answered yes to these questions, know that it’s incredibly important to have a workable backup plan in place just in case something, like the weather, doesn’t go the way you hoped it would.
Have A Tent Ready To Go
Weddings are expensive, and it can seem foolish to spend a penny more than you have to . . . especially on something that you might not need. However, it’s better to spend a little extra money and have peace of mind than it is to spend your wedding day (and all the days leading up to it) wondering what you’ll do if it rains or if something else goes wrong.
Tents are typically inexpensive to rent, and they’re nice to have if it gets so rainy or windy that your guests can’t properly take in your vows without one. Plus, even if everything goes according to plan, you can always find a use for a tent, like using it to keep food sand-free or getting rid of excess sunlight in photos.
Check With Your Venue
If you’ve booked your outdoor wedding through a venue, such as a hotel’s oceanfront lawn, be sure to inquire about potential backup options. Often, you can gain access to a banquet room or other facility in the off-chance that weather or other conditions threaten to derail your big day.
Wedding days never really go 100% the way you want them to or expect. Thus, backup plans are always a good idea. But, remember, even backup plans can sometimes fail. Thus, just make up your mind to stay cheerful, happy, and willing to go with the flow. After all, it’s good preparation for what a marriage is all about.
