Tired of feeling like everyone has an opinion about your wedding?

In this episode of the Wedding Planning Collective Podcast, we’re talking about one of the most common stressors couples face while planning—unsolicited advice and overbearing input, especially from those footing the bill.

Here’s what we’re covering:

  • Why wedding planning seems to attract opinions from everyone
  • The different types of opinion-offenders (yes, we see you Pinterest Planners and Tradition Keepers)
  • How constant advice can cause second-guessing, stress, and even resentment
  • Boundaries that actually work—without causing drama
  • What to say when someone is contributing financially and thinks that gives them creative control
  • Scripts and strategies to protect your peace (and your vision!)
