Can we talk about how wedding planning has become an industry designed to stress you out? Somehow we went from celebrating your love to spending $50,000 and losing your mind over napkin colors.
I was juggling planning a wedding, starting a business, and maintaining my marriage while not trying to lose my mind. Here's my takeaway: wedding planning doesn't have to make you pull out your hair. It only gets stressful when you forget what you're actually celebrating.
In this episode, I'm giving you the real guide (the one I needed when planning my October wedding). This is not a Pinterest picture-perfect guide. This is how to plan your wedding and actually enjoy the process.
We're covering:
- Why the wedding industry is designed to stress you out
- The 3 biggest sources of stress and how to avoid them
- What to actually prioritize (entertainment, food, videographer, venue, dress)
- What doesn't matter (napkins, fonts, Instagram perfection)
- 5 tips to enjoy the planning process: delegate, say no without guilt, make quick decisions, schedule wedding-free activities, remember what you're celebrating
- What I wish I'd known: the day goes fast, people won't notice what you stressed about, and the wedding is one day but the marriage is forever
If you're planning a wedding or thinking about it someday, this one's for you. Keep it simple, keep it joyful, keep it yours.
