When you are celebrating the most magical day of your life, you want to look out and see all the ones you love the most. It can be hard to determine who you want there, but your guest list also one of the most important parts of planning your wedding. A lot of wedding expenses and planning comes directly from how many people will be attending your wedding. Creating your guest list should be one of the first priorities when you start planning your wedding, so listen up for three easy ways to get a move on!

We all know this is an awkward topic and no one likes to make anyone feel left out, but when it comes to your special day you only want what is best for you and your lover. As the bride or groom of your own wedding you get to choose who you want to be there and there is a reason why you made the guest list the way it is, so don't forget that! We are talking you through ways to help get through this process and how to make it as easy as possible.

A few episodes ago we talked about the importance of self-care while planning your wedding, but that’s only half the story. If you want to be in the right mental space to say your vows and feel them from your head to your toes -- to be in total alignment with the act of joining together in marriage (how fantastic is this?) -- you need to be in the right mindset. In this episode we’re going to chat all about how I incorporated self-care into my actual wedding day and why I recommend EVERY bride do the same. Hint: it has something to do with my teenage years.
