1. Too many speeches
Speeches are great and all, but turns out sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. Florida Keys wedding planner Lynn D'Ascanio of Dasignerevents.com recommends finding out how many people would like to make a speech in advance, and if it's in excess of three or four people, politely ask some of them to do so at the rehearsal dinner the night before. The maid of honor, best man and parents definitely get priority at the wedding.
