Happy Friday, and welcome to another BONUS Q&A follow up show to this week's feature episode, "How To: DIY Appetizers & Charcuterie Board" show that aired on Wednesday Nov 20.
Today is a mix of behind-the-scenes insight from me, your reception-related questions, and also a couple of hindsight wedding experiences to share from listeners who were recently married.
There's a ton of value packed into this 20 minute bonus show, and I hope you love it!
I'm running a follow up Q&A each Friday in November, and if you’re loving it, I’ll keep going - but to do so I do need YOUR questions, thoughts, and ideas about that week’s episode.

The cost of food & drinks can be a huge source of frustration when planning your wedding. I can’t tell you how many messages I get from couples who are utterly horrified by the per person fee for dinner & drinks - and rightfully so!
Today we’re going to explore setting up your own appetizer spread, and I think you’ll be blown away by the savings ... yes, up to 85% off the cost of a traditional wedding caterer.
Tune in for my detailed roadmap to appetizer / happy hour menu planning, shopping, and setting it all up.
We'll review how much to buy, where to shop, and what you can expect the total price tag to be for TWO different sample menu options.
We even cover the details that are often overlooked, so that your plan is airtight and nothing is missed.
Even if you are using a more traditional caterer for the main meal, doing your own appetizer spread is a wonderful way to customize the offering, UP the quality, AND save a ton of money. What's not to love?
Not allowed to bring outside food into your venue? This process for setting up a beautiful appetizer spread is also perfect for your bridal shower, welcome party, rehearsal dinner, or any other party you host in the future.
Be sure to bookmark it, and share this episode with a friend who's helping you plan!

Today we’re going to run through a 10-item wedding to-do list for when you reach the final 4-6 week countdown before your wedding day.
While some of the items in today’s show are pretty standard, others are much less obvious - and sadly are not commonly discussed.
Overlooking just one of these important action-items can tip the scales towards a stressful, frantic celebration - and I don't want that for you!
