Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

Today we’re diving into one of those unglamorous but oh-so-necessary parts of wedding planning that no one really tells you about… post-wedding paperwork.

I know, I know — after months of planning every little detail, the last thing you want to think about is documents and insurance and name changes. But hear me out. Getting everything sorted now is going to save you so much time and stress down the road — and your future self is going to thank you.

We’re talking about everything from applying for your marriage license and understanding what documents you need before the big day, to name changes, updating your accounts, protecting your rings with jewelry insurance, and even covering your celebration with event insurance. And don’t worry — I’m going to make this easy and dare I say… kind of satisfying? 

So whether you’re a couple who just got engaged and want to get ahead of the curve, or you’ve already tied the knot and are wondering what comes next — this episode is your ultimate checklist of wedding paperwork.
