Wedding Planning Podcast

If you like most of us, probably NEVER - until now.  Ahhhhh yes, weddings, are, so, expensive. 

But your engagement season doesn’t have to be a nonstop feeling of dread everytime you look at your bank account, or constant gross feelings of sticker shock.  

No doubt, weddings cost a lot of money.  Here’s a quick list of some items that are keeping you up at night:

• "$5000 florist quote - simple rose & hydrangea centerpieces - and that didn’t even include bouquets!"
• "Went wedding dress shopping for the first time last weekend and literally the cheapest dress in the store was $2300."
• "We can’t find a photographer for under $4000"
• "$150 / person for beer, wine, and a simple plate of food is just ridiculous"
• "We went with a venue that doesn’t include anything, and just found out that simple lighting and a dance floor is a $1900 upcharge from our DJ!"

If you’re starting to feel like you either need to elope or have your reception in a rec center, you’re not alone. 

95% of engaged couples I surveyed in 2021 choose “expensive” as the top 3 words that describe wedding planning.  (The others, if you’re curious, were “overwhelming” and “exciting” - I guess it just depends on the day!)

The thing about EXPENSIVE is that it’s RELATIVE to you, your priorities, and your situation.  

What if a cart at the mall was selling a bottle of water for $100?  Ridiculous, right?

What if you were in the desert, just hours away from dying of dehydration, and someone showed up with a bottle of cold water for $100 - would that be expensive?

Tune in to today's quick-hit mini wedding planning meeting for so much more!  And if you loved this perspective-shifting conversation, there's so much more:

>>> Need a little help decoding the complex, often frustrating process of creating your wedding GUEST LIST?  Finalizing who will actually receive a wedding invitation is a process that will likely take some time, revisions, cuts, and LOTS of patience.

In this week's featured wedding planning meeting, we’re uncovering the KEY CHECKPOINTS to crafting a guest list that honors your wedding vision & budget, and reflects your top priorities.

Once your general wedding budget and a venue are decided on, compiling a finalized guest list is the next key step in the early stages of planning out your wedding celebration.

Family & friends are the centerpiece of our lives, and naturally you'll want to include your closest loved ones in this very special celebration.

That's the easy part ...

Today you'll hear the exact audio meeting on crafting your wedding guest list from inside my digital wedding planning package, The VAULT.  Throughout the show, you’ll hear me reference various sections from within the VAULT, specifically exercises where we identify your top values and ways that we can integrate those values into your wedding celebration so that your wedding is a rich & beautiful reflection of you & your partner … not just a cookie cutter event crammed into 4 hours on a Saturday evening in a hotel event room. I purposely didn’t edit those pieces out so that you can experience firsthand the deeper levels that we touch on within the Wedding Planning Podcast membership package. 

Planning your wedding involves a ton of strategic research & decision-making, yes - that’s the stuff you can look up on Google.  How to book a wedding photographer.  Cheap wedding invitations.  Top wedding venues in my area.   

But there’s an entirely separate dimension of your engagement & wedding planning journey, that you’ll hear me call “the all new way to plan your wedding” - and that’s all stuff that you can’t google. 

No internet search engine in the world knows your priorities, your personal values, or can spit out a truly personalized road map to the wedding that YOU WANT by typing a few words into a box.  You can’t google “how do I confidently sail through my engagement on-budget, stress-free, and loving the process?”  

Computers can do a lot, but they can’t replace the priceless value of human connection and introspection … that’s what I’m here for, and that's the deeper work that I can help coach you & your fiance through. 

Thousands of engaged couples ARE confidently sailing through their engagement on-budget, stress-free, and loving the process, and you can do it to inside my digital wedding planning package.  If you’re curious to know more, head to wedpodcast.com and enjoy a FREE, 3-day trial to be sure it's the perfect fit for you & your wedding.

I hope you love today’s workshop on crafting your wedding guest list!

>>> The pressure + hype behind discovering your dream WEDDING VENUE is very real.  In my professional opinion, your wedding venue is the most important strategic decision you'll make in the entire wedding planning process. Why is your venue such a big deal? 

Multiple other wedding decisions are interdependent on the venue you choose.  Once you solidify the WHERE, your complete wedding day vision can really start to unfold. 

Complicating the process, wedding venues literally come in all sizes, prices, and styles.  The possibilities are endless, so it’s key that we go into the research process with a handful of streamlined search filters to dodge being overwhelmed with all the options.

In this workshop-style meeting, we'll review SIX important things to consider as you start shopping around for the perfect venue to host your wedding celebration.

It’s time for a NEW WAY to create your dream wedding celebration, where YOU, your values, and your priorities are at the center of every single decision you make from now until your wedding day, & beyond.

So let’s say goodbye to cookie-cutter, overpriced venues that cram in dozens of weddings in the same weekend.

It’s time to tune out overhyped websites, blogs & social media accounts that are pushing the $72 billion dollar wedding industry’s agenda.  

Here on the Wedding Planning Podcast, we say NO to fear of judgement, decision-fatigue, and overwhelm, and we say YES to a more fulfilled engagement season that starts with YOU.

Today's BONUS WEDDING Q&A show is designed to show you exactly how to have all the wedding things that are most important to you, regardless of how much money you actually have in the bank.

Sounds pretty amazing, right???

Let's face it, you're overwhelmed & struggling with your wedding budget if any one, two, or maybe even three of these sound familiar:

• If you get a pit in your stomach even thinking about your wedding budget (let alone talking about it).
• If you're constantly worried about how much everything is going to cost, and looking for ways to save as much money as possible - or, even worse, you're sweeping the whole money convo under the rug, trying not to even think about it.
• You're wondering how on earth your wedding can live up to the pictures we're bombarded with on social media and big wedding websites.
• And if you're drinking wine with your dog or your cat and in total despair because everything is way more expensive than you ever imagined it would be ...

... then you my friend are a walking case of budget stress and overwhelm, and we can't have you going through life these next few months shouldering all of that!

This level of anxiety not only creates toxic stress in your daily life that's bad for your physical health, but it's also going to suck the fun out of your engagement - and it doesn't have to be that way.

Yes, weddings cost money, but by ignoring your financial situation you're setting yourselves up to be that couple a year from now who went waaaayyyy over budget, who had to use wedding gift money to pay off credit cards, and who - although they might not admit it to anyone out loud - looks back and realizes that in hindsight, there's a whole laundry list of things that were completely unnecessary. (I have a story about this to share, coming up in one of our questions for today.)

Living in a place of overwhelm and judging yourself & your wedding decisions against staged photos and strangers on the internet isn't serving anyone.

There are some very powerful shifts that I can offer to lift you up to a place where you confront your wedding budget head on - that's the convo we had last week on Wednesday, in our Wedding Budget Workshop. You have the hard conversations, you've seen in black and white how much money you're working with, you commit to your priorities, and then it's DONE.

And that's the point where you can move on to a more joyful place where choosing a photographer and a venue and a dress is FUN because you're not constantly worried about how much it's gonna cost. You KNOW you have enough money to cover your top priorities, it doesn't matter if it's going to look like the wedding you saw on tik tok this morning.

This is where you can confidently invest in your priorities, tune out and say NO to the stuff that's not important to you, and you're not even gonna recognize that girl who was alone and crying with her dog because everything is just too expensive and too overwhelming.

It's time for a NEW WAY to create your dream wedding celebration, where YOU, your values, and your priorities are at the center of every single decision you make from now until your wedding day, & beyond.

So let's say goodbye to unrealistic, staged images on Pinterest of weddings in the forest that cost $32,000 - in decorations alone.

It's time to tune out overhyped social media accounts that are pushing the $72 billion dollar wedding industry's agenda.

Here on the Wedding Planning Podcast, we say NO to the wedding industry's priorities, and we say yes to a more fulfilled engagement season that starts with YOU.

Hey there, it’s Kara, Producer & Host of the WPP, and a HUGE congratulations on your engagement! 

First things first - I would LOVE to see photos of your ring and that special moment when you said YES, so please follow & tag me - @weddingplanningpodcast - on Instagram, I can’t wait to “meet” you, your partner, and take a look at all those fun memories! 

I also can’t wait to share the ALL NEW WAY to plan your dream wedding celebration.

We’re kicking off the New Year with 12 WEEKS OF BONUS EPISODES that walk you step-by-step through crafting your dream wedding celebration. 

We're going to cover all of the major wedding planning milestones, from the very beginning of your engagement season, all the way to your wedding day.

Next week on January 12th, we’re starting off with setting a wedding budget that’s in perfect alignment with your values & your priorities.  This workshop-style meeting is designed to magically make possible all the wedding things that are most important to you, regardless of how much money you have.  Sounds pretty good, right???

Now if you’re joining us LIVE on January 5th, then congratulations! 

All you need to do to enjoy every single one of these 12 bonus episodes is hit “FOLLOW” in your podcast player.  Each week on Wednesday, the next bonus episode will automatically download to your podcast player for you to listen.

I'm also leading weekly bonus “ASK ME ANYTHING” meetings that will be dedicated to the wedding planning milestone / topic that we covered for that week of the bonus series.

So for example, next week we’re talking all about your wedding budget and the basics to setting a budget that aligns with your values & your priorities (which, by the way, is much easier said than done!).  

If there’s anything within our conversation that leaves you wondering or needing a little something more ... maybe you have a specific wedding budget situation or struggle that you’re facing - I would love to personally share my take and guide you through it.  Weekly “ASK ME ANYTHING” / Q&A meetings will be open for questions (head to Instagram Stories to participate), and available for members to listen inside The VAULT.

Just a little bit more information on membership to this revolutionary digital wedding planning package:

Beyond the free 3-day trial, membership to the VAULT renews monthly, and you’re free to cancel ANY TIME, zero questions asked. 

There are absolutely no contracts, no pre-payments, and no obligation to continue. 

You can sign up today, get exactly what you need, and cancel with the click of a button.  That’s it!  

Last little bit here, the monthly investment for membership is incredibly affordable, and will ALWAYS be incredibly affordable ... but the “new member” monthly price will be increasing each week during this bonus series.  

That means that today, right now, is the lowest monthly membership price that will be available in 2022.  And to clarify, once you sign up, you are locked in at that monthly membership price. 

>>> Lock in your membership rate today by visiting www.wedpodcast.com

I certainly hope you’ll hang out throughout your engagement for ongoing support and access to an incredibly valuable & unique approach to planning your dream wedding celebration, but this revolutionary new way of planning isn’t for everyone, and I totally understand & respect that.

To wrap it up, here’s a question for you:

Are you still using the same phone you had ten years ago? 

No way!  Phones have changed so much in just the past three years, let alone ten.  You’ve upgraded 2, 3, maybe even 5 times to take advantage of new features, more storage, and better functionality as it became available.   

Just like phones, weddings have changed A LOT over the past couple of years.  So why would you rely on the same old wedding websites, free checklists, and planning timelines that have literally been around since I planned my own wedding, 10 years ago?

It’s time for a NEW WAY to create your dream wedding celebration, where YOU, your values, and your priorities are at the center of every single decision you make from now until your wedding day, & beyond.

So let’s say goodbye to unrealistic, staged images on Pinterest of weddings in the forest that cost $32,000 - in decorations alone. 

It’s time to tune out overhyped social media accounts that are pushing the $72 billion dollar wedding industry’s agenda.  

Here on the Wedding Planning Podcast, we say NO to the wedding industry’s priorities, and we say yes to a more fulfilled engagement season that starts with YOU.  

Thank you so much for tuning in to the WPP 12 Weeks of Engagement Season bonus series!  

Join thousands of INTENTIONAL + JOYFUL engaged couples who know that the wedding celebration of their dreams is possible ... even if right now, planning an entire wedding feels a *little bit* overwhelming!

You want to host THE MOST meaningful, fun, unforgettable wedding that any of your friends & family have ever been to.  Simple enough, right?

Riiiiight.  The trouble is, sometimes our "champagne dreams" really clash with our beer budget.  Most couples don’t have a 6-figure wedding budget, can’t afford to hand over a blank checkbook to a full service event planner, and are faced to make really difficult sacrifices and swaps throughout their engagement.

Today we’re going to walk through a detailed conversation that will show you exactly how to get everything you want most our of your wedding celebration - no matter what your budget is. 

I’m going to give you a foolproof formula for identifying your top priorities and giving yourselves permission to allocate most of your wedding budget to those key wedding elements.

I’m also going to give you FULL permission to KEEP IT SIMPLE. 

And finally, we’re going to talk about the importance of keeping things in perspective.  Knowing when to flex your money-saving muscles, and when it might be better to trade your time for dollars and pay a professional rather than trying to “do it yourself”. 

In essence?  Weddings cost money - A LOT of money - and for most of us, that can quickly become a topic of stress & frustration. 

No one wants to be constantly bombarded by sticker shock over how much wedding vendors & services cost.  Not to mention the disagreements with family (and maybe even your partner) over:

• How to spend the money,
• Feeling guilty that you need to value the opinions of those who contribute over those who don’t,
• Wondering if it’s worth it to save a few hundred dollars but spend hours trying to figure something out on your own …

Tune in for so much more, including your top 5 "sticker shockers" from Instagram over the past week!

To submit questions for an upcoming show, simply FOLLOW @weddingplanningpodcast on Instagram, and send a DM (direct message) on the platform. 

Due to the sheer volume of your love and support, we regretfully cannot personally reply to each submission ... you'll receive a DM if your submission is queued for an upcoming episode.
