Bride with ADHD

Planning a wedding when you’re neurodivergent—or just overwhelmed—isn’t as simple as plugging numbers into a spreadsheet. In this episode, Beth from BrideWithADHD.com breaks down how to approach wedding budgeting without panic, shame, or meltdown-mode decision-making. You’ll learn how to separate your financial “piles,” avoid budget guilt spirals, and set boundaries with vendors who gatekeep their pricing. Plus, practical scripts for talking to loved ones about money (even when it’s awkward), and language swaps that can make the planning process feel less intimidating and more approachable.

Because your budget isn’t a moral test—it’s just a plan. And you’re allowed to build it in a way that works for your actual brain.
