Planning your dream wedding with (slightly stressed) parents in tow?

The Guide Gals are here to help! In this special episode of A Parent's Guide to Wedding Planning, Chelsea and Caroline are joined by guest Lisa Shields to spill the tea on how to navigate those sometimes tricky conversations with Mom and Dad. We'll cover everything from budget battles to guest list showdowns, all with a healthy dose of humor and practical advice.

Here's what you can expect:

• Communication hacks: Learn how to talk to all of the stakeholders about your vision and budget in a way that keeps everyone happy (or at least understanding).
• Setting boundaries with love: Discover how to politely but firmly establish your priorities without causing family drama.
• Delegation tips: We'll show you how to get your parents involved in a way that feels helpful, and not overbearing while also not taking on too many tasks.
• Keeping everyone calm: Wedding planning can get stressful, so we'll share tips on keeping the peace (and maybe even getting some free wedding planning help!)

This episode is for you if:

• You're feeling overwhelmed by parental expectations.
• You want to involve your parents in the planning process without losing control.
• You just need a good laugh (and some expert advice) to navigate this crazy exciting time!

So grab your headphones, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let Lisa and The Guide Gals help you navigate the road to "I do" with your whole family by your side!
