MINISODE: Do You Need to Have a Rehearsal/Rehearsal Dinner?

In this week's episode of the Unconventional Wedding Planning Podcast we're talking about semi or half destination weddings. So this would be a wedding where half or most of your guests are flying in, but it's local to you, or your guests are local, but you're flying into the destination. Most of the advice online for destination weddings imagine you and your guests all flying off to the Caribbean or Italy for a week. But what if it's just half your guests going from New Hampshire to Seattle? 
Tune in as I discuss how to make life easy for your out of town guests (and yourselves!), some important things to consider when planning a semi-destination wedding and how to hold your boundaries when planning solo. And shout out to the listeners who requested this topic - thank you!

Listen in as I explain why the ceremony is actually the most important part of the wedding and why it deserves your attention.
