  1. Very good tips! Especially the family boundaries part! It’s amazing to me how many family members might be willing to contribute to your wedding, but some really do expect something in return! Great article!

    1. Thanks, Alyssa! I definitely have seen it a lot (and it honestly makes me really sad!) It is really a serious conversation that I think all couples need to have before they plan their wedding. I think it saves from so much potential drama in the long-run.

  2. Yes to all of these. I feel like we did a pretty good job of planning our wedding, for two 19 year olds. Looking back 8 years later there’s not much I would change, other than forking it out for a good video. Ours didn’t turn out very well and we almost didn’t get it back at all, but at the time we were looking at price as our primary decision factor. I also wish Pinterest and Instagram had been around back then! I would have been inspired to do more myself, and we could have had a hashtag lol.

    1. I know what you mean! Like I mentioned in the post, I think the only reason we’d do it differently now is just because I’m in the industry and have seen so much of what we could have done! It was overwhelming for us as well as 21 year olds who wanted to make everyone happy. And Yes! Pinterest and Instagram are definitely huge parts of the planning process now! It’s one of those bittersweet kind of things for planning. 🙂

I loved our wedding day though. It was perfect. 🙂 I do agree that financials can be a big stress – that’s why I always suggest talking about it. While it may be awkward, I think it’s best to be open about it!
