We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Plan YOUR wedding, not the one you think you need to plan to make [insert other group of people] happy. 🫣
What this means:
✨ If a tradition doesn’t mean anything to you and your partner, don’t do it (e.g. no need to have cake if you hate cake)
✨ Don’t fall into the Pinterest trap of thinking you need to do 100 cute things at your wedding because you see other people doing them (e.g. stick to your budget and save your sanity)
✨ Your wedding includes your partner, so make sure to keep continual conversations going about what your wedding vision looks like for BOTH of you
✨ Don’t feel guilty about making decisions with your partner that may be unexpected - it’s the start of your lifelong partnership, not anyone else’s.
What this doesn’t mean:
✨ Being inconsiderate of the basic needs of your guests (e.g. you can’t skip food if your reception is over dinner time)
✨ Trampling over your significant other or family members’ emotions if they’re attached to something you don’t want to do - be respectful in your conversations about why you don’t want to do the thing
