Talking about money can be uncomfortable—but it doesn’t have to be! If you’re wondering how to ask your family about contributing to your wedding budget, this episode will walk you through exactly what to say (and what to avoid!).

In this episode, we cover:

✔️ How to approach your family about financial contributions 💵

✔️ What to say if they give vague promises like "Don’t worry, we’ll help!"

✔️ Why setting clear expectations now can prevent wedding planning stress later

✔️ The potential trade-offs when accepting money from family 👀

✔️ How to avoid planning your wedding backwards (before knowing your real budget!)

Plus, I’ll share tips on how to handle differences in financial expectations and how to structure the conversation so everyone feels comfortable.
