Everyone wants to look back on their wedding day and say it was everything and more they ever imagined and that's exactly how Lisa feels.

Lisa and Jake were only 3 months out from her big day and still didn't have a wedding venue locked in.  Their location wasn't going to be ready on time and they definitely had some big decisions to make in the final months. But, they worked through them and had the most magical day.

In this episode Lisa and I discuss:

Q1. Why she didn't have a venue 3 months out and how she handled that situation
Q2. Did she find it hard to DIY most of her wedding and with such short time frames once she knew her venue
Q3. Did she lean on support from others to help her get through and especially on the day itself
Q4. What was her most favourite moment from the day
Q5.Is there anything she would change if she did it again
Q6. Her #1 wedding tip for those planning now

Lisa, honestly is pure joy to listen to and gives those who are planning some wonderful advice.

How do you uninvite wedding guests?

Are you wondering, can I uninvite someone from my wedding?

You might fall into one of these 3 categories:

1. You have already sent an invite to a guest you wish to no longer have attend. 

2. You  had a few drinks and told some people they would definitely be invited when you actually have no plans or budget to invite them but felt pressured at the time.

3. Or you have sent them a save the date but now don't plan to send them an actual invitation.

Are you feeling like you relate to one of those scenarios?

This is such a common conundrum. But don't fear, I am going to help you through it so that you are not forced to inviting anyone you don't wish to have there.

I am going to give you the perfect wording you can use to make it easier to let them down gently.

Wedding planning is foreign to you so you often have many questions you need answers to but don't know who to ask or you spend hours of wasted time googling.

So, this week on the podcast I decided to share some answers to some commonly asked questions that I have received of late.

The questions I am answering are:

1. If you already send out save the date cards do you then still have to invite those people?

2. How do I tell some guests who were sent the save the dates that they are no longer invited?

3. How can I include my children and my partner’s children into our wedding?

4. I’m having a second wedding dress. At what point do I change into the second dress?

I am also going to explain why a 'save the date' is a huge waste of money.

I can't get over how many couples are having issues with their family putting their 2 cents worth in.

Family and sometimes friends seem to want to tell us what to do or what we are doing wrong when planning 'OUR WEDDING' day.

The most common thing I am hearing at the moment (actually daily) is that everyone wants to tell the couple who to invite and who needs to be added to the guest list. It blows my mind that people think they should have a say in this. It's not their day.

So, I want to help you navigate this issue.

In this episode I discuss:
- Why family are putting pressure on you
- How to be clear with your partner on how to handle objections
- Knowing exactly what you will say when opinions are pushed on you
- How to find the easiest solution to keep everyone happy

At the end of the day, everyone will have an opinion on your wedding day. But, it's how you and your partner handle it together that will make or break your wedding day.

Are you wondering if you should give a speech on your wedding day? 

It's quite common for the Bride to also give a speech on the wedding day. But, that does not mean you have to give a speech if you are feeling completely torn about the idea. For some of you, the thought of a speech just freaks you out but you also feel pressured to have to do one.

For others, it's a no brainer and you can't wait to take the mic.

In this episode I am going to discuss:

• Why you should or shouldn't do a speech
• How long the speech should be
• What you should say if you do decide to speak
• How to show up as authentically you and not someone who's trying to be funny

Lastly, I will cover the alternatives to doing a speech if you don't want to do one.

Have you got family saying you should do x,y,z? They all have opinions, thoughts and advice on your big day right?

They’ve been married before, or they have given you money so think they can put their 2 cents worth in.

Are you feeling like you relate to this so much?

Let’s talk about how to handle this.

• Firstly you have to decide if their thoughts and opinions matter? 
• Second you have to know how you will handle them.
• Third you have decide with your partner whom you will be accepting money from and how much. And if you do accept the money how much input will they have?
• Fourth, pick your battles. Sometimes it is not worth the fight. But, which battles are worth fighting? 
• Fifth, you can’t actually keep everyone happy. It’s never possible with anything in life. So take on this advice as hard as it is.

Family and often friends will always want to put their 2 cents worth in, this is just life. But, how you handle it can determine how stressful or enjoyable your planning will be.
