Description

Get ready for a jam-packed Wedding Q&A show, full of your planning questions & concerns!  Here's a sampling of what's on the menu this week:

  • How much alcohol to buy? >>> click here for one of my favorite hosting tools ever (and tune in to my full answer for lots more helpful tips on the topic!)

  • What can we expect for the price of flowers?

  • Who pays for the bridal shower, & should I offer to help? >>> click here for blog post "Practical Bridal Shower Gift Ideas"

  • Fiance doesn't want any wedding party at all, but I do.  How to proceed?

  • Rehearsal dinner options are way too expensive.  Advice on making it more affordable?

  • Should we hire a babysitter for our reception?

  • What's a good way to ask for cash instead of gifts?  Spoiler alert, I don't think there's a "good" way, but creating cash funds that you can share on your gift registry is an option with Honeyfund.  There are no fees, and you can even link directly to your Venmo or PayPal accounts.  

  • Do we have to seat wedding party members with their dates?

Wedding questions on your mind, or topics you'd like to hear more about?

Thanks for being here, and we'll meet again next week!

Cheers,
Kara
