What is your pet peeve when it comes to wedding planning?

I hate when vendors don't call back. That really annoys me especially when what they say will effect another aspect of planning and I can't proceed without an answer.
What do you hate?

when people ( family members) tell you wat you can and cannot have... and they arent even offering to pay, no cash shut ur mouth and mind ur own biz

I'm not planning a wedding yet, but I've been reading many, many posts.

I'd have to say, I'd be most worried about the details!! Reserving the venue, picking out the dress, picking out the menu, writing the guest list/sending out invites are all time consuming, BUT stuff I could handle easily!

I know it'll be the little things that kill me. Like, what favors to get, what flowers to use in the centerpieces, candles on the table or no candles on the table, the placecards, what music to play and all that "little" stuff that just adds up.

I hate people RSVPing and then not turning up. If we'd known; we could have invited more people! OR when you tell someone there's no space for a date, and they bring one anyway.

We currently have plenty of people telling us that we're doing things "wrong". They tell us what we can and can't have. It's our wedding, we can do what we like. They should respect that, and stop making unrealistic suggestions that double our budget!

An example of this is our wedding cake. We're not sticking to traditions, but people are telling me we HAVE to have a fruit cake on the top tier. I HATE fruit cake, and my kids are not getting christened, we won't even eat it, so why do we even need it? Grrr.

It's okay though; We're one of the first of our friends to get married, so I'm planning on getting my own back for their weddings! (Joke, I wouldn't be that mean).

i hate when you have someone who has a lot of experience with A/V equipment record your wedding for you and they give the CD back to you and it looks like a drunk recorded it! my husband and i got married may 3rd of this year and we watched our video someone did for us and it was horrible. it kept fading in and out and the angles were horrible and he wasn't in the right spot and the lighting was horrendous. we wont reccomend him to a soul! haha. but his daughter was our photog and she did pefect! :)

I am a wedding planner. What I hate the most is when guests are sent a "Save the Date" and invitations in a timely manner. Then they refuse to RSVP. It annoys me to the high heavens. Then, they show up with everyone in their household when only 2 were invited!

Yes I agree. My contact at the Hotel where we are having our reception is very nice but often I email her with questions and she doesn't get back to me. So annoying and unprofessional.
Oh I also hate when I tell my mum new details and she just picks at them and criticizes. I have learnt to brush it off though so it's ok.

When I was planning my wedding I was living in another city and had not moved to the new city yet. I had a coordinator thank goodness. My biggest pet peeve was how other people like (mother or mother in law) tried to invite people without asking us first. We were sending invitations we had never met.

Everyone expecting something nice but not offering help for two struggling college students when they have lots of money- adding more stress and backing out after we have made deposits and set definate dates.

My mother-in-law took over. She hired a videographer without my permission. It was the worst day of my life.

People telling me that "etiquette dictates you shoud do XYZ". Then when I look it up or ask about it here nobody has heard that bit of advice is good etiquette. LOL.

I agree with the above...I hate when other people think they have a right to invite people to your wedding. And you're still expected to pay. Its so rude.
