When it comes to wedding planning, there’s a million and one things that are going through your head, let alone your day to day life things too. So it’s easy for one or two details to easily slip your mind when you’re overwhelmed by planning your big day. After all, wedding planning is a full time job – that’s why there are people who do this for a living!
Here’s a little list of some of those easily forgotten details that many Brides tend to forget once in a while…
#1 What time the sun set is
This will of course depend on what time of the year you’re having your wedding, however be sure to discuss with your photographer as they’ll have a typical idea and will want to whisk you away from your guests at this time for some stunning Cyprus sunset photos, so you’ll need to make sure you’re not planning speeches or dinner during this time.

Gratuity, aka tips, if you’re planning on tipping your service staff be sure to include this in your budgeting too
#4 Having your Wedding Website ready before sending the save the dates
If you’re planning on setting up a wedding website, be sure to have this ready before sending out for save the dates, it doesn’t need to be fully finished but you should have the URL, and a holding page up at least so that you can not only include it in your save the dates but guests know to check back – just don’t forget to finish it or add any details that your guests should know.
