Answer

Direct answer

Writing down key decisions avoids confusion when many relatives are involved.

Dates, venues, document responsibilities, event costs, guest counts and travel plans are easy to misunderstand when discussed only verbally.

A written note does not need to be formal. It simply gives both families the same reference point.

It is also useful when decisions change. If a guest count, budget, document appointment or travel plan is updated, everyone can see the latest agreement instead of relying on memory or forwarded messages.
