We share practical ways to budget for the holidays while planning a wedding without losing the joy. From unified budgets and vendor deals to gift boundaries and experience-first giving, we show how to spend on what matters and skip the noise.

• setting a single cap for holiday and wedding costs
• asking family for wedding-focused gifts and gift cards
• using Secret Santa and smaller gatherings to save
• spotting end-of-year vendor deals and January price hikes
• buying DIY items during Black Friday with a plan
• using rewards cards responsibly for flights and hotels
• choosing experiences over clutter for big families
• resisting trends and focusing on meaningful must-haves
• reselling or swapping unused holiday items
• combining holiday and engagement parties to cut costs

Be sure to check us out on Instagram and TikTok. We love chatting with our listeners so we can continue to provide you the best resources and advice as you are going through this beautiful engagement season.
