37 I I'm Engaged! Now What?

Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

This episode is a follow-up to Episode 36: 6 Things to Do Before You Get Engaged. The time when you become engaged is a roller coaster of emotions. You feel excitement and joy, but possibly also overwhelmed by the many questions people will ask you about your coming nuptials. In today's post, I'm sharing with you what you should think about first, second, and third so that you're able to enjoy the wedding planning and feel in control. 

1. Enjoy your engagement! Drink that champagne and have fun.
2. Pick 3 words to describe your dream wedding to guide you through the decision-making process
3. Pick 3 words to describe how you want to feel during the wedding planning process. These will also help you gain focus when you start to feel overwhelmed. 
4. Pick 3 goals you want to focus on for the wedding
5. Discuss your guest list and budget with your partner
6. Seriously consider hiring a wedding planner!

These 6 items will give you a great foundation to help you tackle all those wedding planning decisions. As long as you keep them in mind, you will be refreshed, relaxed, and ready to party when your wedding day finally arrives. 

If you have questions about any of this, I would love to know. I’m happy to expand on particular topics if you think it’s helpful. 

Leave a review of the podcast on Apple Podcasts and write your questions in the review and I’ll incorporate them into a future episode.  If there are specific guests you want me to interview, let me know who that is in your review, too!

Finally, you can also always send me a DM me on IG at @asktheplannerpodcast.
