Today on the Wedding Planning Podcast, we're exploring your top wedding questions, including:

  • Ideal number of wedding party members / pro’s & con’s of larger vs. smaller group?

  • What are your thoughts on doing a first look vs. waiting for the more traditional moment when I walk down the aisle?

  • Inviting kids to the wedding - does it have to be “all or nothing?”  Babysitting options?

  • OK to assign seats for the ceremony?  Divorced parents on my side and want to keep them separated.

  • Including family & friends who want to help, but I don’t really know what to ask them to do.  What are some easy items to delegate?

  • Etiquette involved w/ planning at the same time as my close friend?  Things are already overlapping and I’m feeling really frustrated

  • What's the actual cost difference between hosting a wedding on a weekday vs. a weekend?

They say hindsight is 20/20, and today on the Wedding Planning Podcast I'm sharing the top money spending regrets that married couples have.

It's really easy to get swept up in dozens of "must-have's" during your engagement - but after today's episode, you'll think twice about these wedding expenses.

My inbox is full of your wedding planning questions, including:

  • Are wedding fairs worth the time?

  • How to pick a DJ?  No idea where to start!

  • My dress is very heavy, with a dramatic long train.  Should I consider a separate reception dress for dancing? >>> My fave site for reception party dresses >>> Lulus.com

  • What are your thoughts on a NYE wedding?  We love the symbolism of beginning our lives together at the start of a new year, but the logistics of actually planning for NYE seems hard. 

  • Struggling with creating a core wedding vision and building out from there.  I feel like we have so many ideas, but none of them are cohesive or go together.  Is there an easy place to start that I am simply missing?

  • What’s a quick list of things to prioritize when shopping for venues?

  • What are “hidden fees” to look out for with any venue or vendors?

  • How do I specify number of people invited to the wedding when addressing the invitation envelope?
