Feeling your best on your special day is more than just glitzy dresses and perfect makeup, it's also about nutrition, health and how you want to feel. That's why we invited registered nutritionist, Dr. Courtney Thompson, to share some insightful tips on how to avoid discomfort, bloating, and fatigue on your wedding day. She talks us through the crucial dos and don'ts of wedding day nutrition, emphasising the significance of balanced meals that include carbs, protein, and healthy fats. Her advice is not just about what to eat, but also about mindful eating, reminding us to nourish our bodies even when wedding day jitters curb our appetite.
Dr. Thompson advises against relying on protein shakes, which can cause bloating and often contain harmful additives. Instead, she lists a bunch of nutritious options, highly recommends not trying new foods in the days leading up to the wedding, hydrating adequately, and having regular meals to prevent feeling faint or sick during the wedding festivities.
We cover some energy-boosting tips for your wedding day, such as a good night's sleep, staying hydrated, and incorporating healthy snacks and meals. Dr. Thompson is also planning her own wedding so has some very helpful wedding planning tips to share at the end.

Avoid Wedding Day Regrets: Tips from Past Brides - Part 2
I am following on from last week's podcast episode where I talked about what past brides wish they hadn't forgotten about. Last week was more light-hearted and had some funny, yet amazingly helpful tips. But today, I'm going to cover what I feel are the more important things that past brides wish they hadn't forgotten. Some of these can affect how you feel after the big day, and they might stay on your mind.
1. A packing list for the person collecting your things from the venue: Create a detailed list for the person you delegate to collect your items from the venue at the end of the night.
2. Print extra copies of important items: Before the big day, make multiple copies of essential items such as vows, readings, timings, schedules, speeches, and photo lists.
3. Preserve your bouquet: Make arrangements to preserve your wedding bouquet after the event.
4. Ensure the candles are lit: If you have candles as part of your wedding decor, assign a couple of people to remember to light them during the event.
5. Ensure the cake is cut: It's surprisingly common for couples to find out the next day the cake wasn't cut and served.
6. Get photos with bridesmaids and important guests: Request your photographer to take proper photos with each bridesmaid and other important guests.
7. Get everyone to sign the guest book: To ensure your guest book doesn't end up empty, have your emcee remind people throughout the event to sign it.
8. Be prepared for anything: Ladies, even if it's not that time of the month, it's advisable to carry a tampon or some baby wipes.
9. Take time to soak it all in: The wedding day goes by quickly, so take a few moments with your partner to step.
10. Freeze Frame Photo Opportunity: Consider incorporating this fun and memorable photo opportunity during the reception.
Remember to take time to cherish the moments on your special day.

The "Bridesmaid's Guide" episode.
It's certainly an incredible journey being a bridesmaid and in this episode we want to provide all you special bridesmaids out there with all the tips you need to make it a memorable experience.
Often bridesmaids are unsure of what is expected and how to communicate effectively with each other in the bridal party and with the bride.
As a bridesmaid, your role is not just about wearing a pretty dress and standing by the bride's side on her special day. You are an essential support system, ensuring that the bride's journey is smooth and stress-free. You are the bride's best friend and the person she can rely on for emotional support. You are the calm in all the chaos.
Communication is key in any successful relationship, and being a bridesmaid is no exception. Establishing open lines of communication between each other (as in the bridal party) and the bride will make the entire process much smoother. So, we will discuss some strategies for effective communication through the planning between everyone.
We will also cover how to handle challenges that may arise and when it's best to respect the bride's decisions, even if they differ from your opinions and choices.
Remember, your role as a bridesmaid is a special one and should be filled with love, support, and unforgettable memories.

Whether you're worried about your own wedding being similar to your previous one or lacking uniqueness, or if you've recently helped plan another person's wedding or been part of a bridal party, we'll explore how you can ensure your wedding is different and truly reflects your love story. The secret lies in deciding your wedding vision with your partner, creating a celebration that shouts both of you and showcases your happiness and love for each other.
Start by having open and honest communication with your partner. Sit down together and have a heartfelt conversation about your vision for the wedding. Visualise the atmosphere, location, style, colours, and the people you see there. Discuss how you want to feel and the emotions you want to evoke. By aligning your vision, you can create a wedding that is unique to both of you.
As you create your wedding vision, consider the elements you don't want to have at your wedding. It could be no cake, no bridal waltz, or any other specific preferences you both share. Then, as you get further into the planning process, incorporate personal touches and meaningful details that reflect your journey as a couple.
Remember, involving your partner in the decision-making process is crucial. Communication and decision-making as a team will not only create a wedding that is uniquely yours but also strengthen the foundation of your relationship.
Your own wedding is an opportunity to celebrate your love and create cherished memories that are distinct to your story. Embrace the chance to craft a celebration that reflects your journey and showcases your unique love story. Creating a wedding vision is the first step in the calm bride planner, as it brings your dream day to life and helps you make decisions that align with both of your dreams for the big day.
Remember, it's not about avoiding similarities; it's about infusing your personal touch and creating a wedding that is uniquely yours. Your wedding vision will guide you in achieving this. So take some time now, if you haven't already, to decide what your own wedding vision is.

Enhancing Your Big Day with Thoughtful Details!
When planning your wedding, it's crucial to focus not only on the physical appearance of the table, but also on creating moments and experiences that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. After all, it's the emotions and memories they take away that truly make your wedding unforgettable. As I mentioned last week, once food is served and conversations flow, the table decor may take a backseat.
So, how can you infuse your wedding with thoughtful details that resonate with your guests? Let's explore some ideas.
First, let's take a quick look at what I did for my own wedding. I named each table with words that held significant meaning to us, such as "Soul Mate," "Love," "Friendship," and more. I incorporated our love quote into the menus, seating chart signage, and thank-you cards. We also prepared hangover kits as guest favours, personalised kids' colour packs, and thank-you cards with gifts placed on the table for those who helped make our day special.
Since my own wedding, I've come across several new and fresh suggestions that are both beautiful and thoughtful. Here are some ideas that are sure to make your guests talk about your wedding for years to come:
- Use your family's or grandparents' beautiful vases and leave a note on each table to tell guests their significance.
- Leave a personal note under each person's name card, sharing how you met them and including a photo of you together.
- Provide a game for guests, such as a jar with a list of how they met you, and let the table guess who it belongs to. This creates laughter and engagement.
- Offer a his-and-her guest favour of your favourite drink, giving guests a taste of your preferences.
- Consider embroidered napkins with guests' names and your wedding quote, adding an elegant and personal touch.

Your wedding day is one of the most important and memorable events in your life, and every detail matters. In this episode, we'll explore how thoughtful table decor can enhance your big day and make it even more special.
We will discuss the essential elements of wedding table decor. These include;
- table linens
- place settings
- centrepieces
- menu cards
- place cards.
- guest favours
When it comes to choosing your wedding table decor, it's important to remember that what's necessary and what's not will depend on your personal preference and the style of your wedding. Some couples prefer a minimalist approach with simple centerpieces and no additional decor, while others want a more elaborate setup with lots of extra touches.
It's worth keeping in mind that once your guests are seated with their meals, they're likely to focus more on the food and the people around them, rather than the table decor. So, while having a beautiful setup is nice, it's not essential and may not be noticed as much as you might think.
Overall, less is often more when it comes to wedding table decor. By focusing on a few key elements that are important to you and complement the overall aesthetic of your wedding, you can create a beautiful and memorable setting without overwhelming your guests.
Be sure to join us next week as we continue our discussion on the power of details and how thoughtful wedding table decor can enhance your big day and make it more memorable.

Sex on your wedding night and the expectations vs reality of it.
It's important we emphasise the fact that not all couples have sex on their wedding night and that weddings can be exhausting and emotional, and it's okay to prioritise rest and relaxation over sex.
Having open communication about expectations for the wedding night beforehand will help avoid any disappointment.
In this episode Yvette shares her personal experience of her wedding night, where her husband fell asleep after having a couple of drinks while she was taking out the bobby pins from her hair.
It's important to normalise different experiences and not feel pressured to uphold to society's expectations. Whatever happens on your wedding night definitely does not dictate what your future will look like.

What you decide for your reception can make or break it and who doesn't want the best reception where everyone is on the dance floor all night and raving about your wedding for years to come.
In last week's episode we shared the top 3 tips for having a beautiful sentimental wedding ceremony and this week as promised we are following on with the reception top 3 tips.
- Food and Music. We are letting you in on the secrets of how to get this right and how this is the most critical because it's pretty much all the guests actually care about and it's also what impacts the wedding the most. To the guests, there is nothing more on their minds than food and the music creates the atmosphere. You need to get these 2 right and we are telling you how.
- Are you leaving enough time for dancing at the end? Have you got all your timings right so that you have about 2 hours of dancing time at the end. If the timings are all out and you don't get enough time to dance the night will feel like it was over before it started. These timings tips and advice will ensure your wedding feels like it flows smoothly and there is time for everything and more.
- Get your guests seated properly. You don't want guests moaning that their feet hurting from standing all night or that they were bored out of their brain because of who you sat them next too. Getting the seating wrong can be a complete mood killer so make sure you actually follow through on these seating etiquette's.
Follow the expert advice in this episode along with the last episode and you are sure to have the best night of your life and hear your guests saying it was the best wedding ever for years to come.

What takes place during the cocktail hour? Or as some venues call it, Pre-Reception. The time between the ceremony and Reception.
This part of the day is integral for a number of reasons but mostly
- To give you time to have photographs and refresh
- To give guests a drink and some food
Honestly, after your ceremony and the all nervous energy and then hugging and kissing everyone and having 100 small conversations you will be ready for taking some time away.
Some of you might be thinking you want to be with everyone for that duration and enjoy that time. Or thinking, I paid for those food and drinks so I want to enjoy them. But trust me, you need this time away.
In this episode, I will explain exactly why you need this time away, what you do during that time and also what your guests need and want.

Let’s talk about the dreaded wedding budget.
Last week I talked about the Guest List. I helped you cut back the guest list and finalise the guest list. If you did not listen to those 3 podcast episodes then start here.
Now, the reason you must start with the guest list and not the budget is because how can you work out a budget if you don’t know how many guests you are inviting. When you don’t know guest numbers you also don’t know which venue you can fit into or if a venue will have a minimum spend or minimum and maximum number of guests.
Further to this, how can you start looking at venues if you don’t know your wedding vision? Knowing your vision of the day and how you want to look and feel is critical. That’s a whole full discussion in itself and if you haven’t sat down with your partner to work out your vision of the day make sure you sit down and do that and decide how you both want to feel on the day and how the wedding day looks to you both. It’s our very first lesson in the Calm Bride Planner Course as often you can also make better decisions on the guest list when you know the vision.
Anyway, I went off track there and could be overwhelming you with the whole budget, guest list and wedding vision and I don’t want to do that so let's get back to the wedding budget.
Once you know your wedding vision and you have a guest list you can now really start to put together a budget and I’m not talking about oh I’ve got $25,000 to spend. That is actually not a budget. That’s what you have to spend.
A budget is actually knowing how much you think you are going to spend. So breaking down what the dream venue costs per person, what your dream dress might cost, what the flowers you love might cost.
You see the initial budget is ultimately an estimate of costs of what you want in your wedding vision.
So, if you are using the MMW App, then go through each item that is listed in the budget section and put a rough price beside that item. Once you have placed a price beside all the items that you envision wanting on your day then you will have a better estimate of the budget. If there is an item such as a garter and you don’t want that then you don’t need to include that in your budget.
It’s also very important that if you have a venue in mind that you love that you know what extras you need to pay for. For example if you don’t like the chairs then you might need to include in your budget 120 tiffany chairs. So you can see what knowing your guest numbers makes a huge difference to your budget.
Sometimes cutting the guest list by only 5 people can ....

Our Bridal Party are those who are closest to us and those who know us better than anyone else. But, sometimes we just can’t have them all stand beside us on our wedding day.
It is not that we don’t want them but more that we might want a small bridal party or sometimes family and friend politics makes us have no-one to avoid any issues.
Sometimes you might just have your sister and then have unofficial bridesmaids who are your best friends or all your cousins and you can include them in pre-wedding activities but they just don’t stand up beside you at the ceremony.
So in this episode I want to give you some ideas to include those who might be the ‘unofficial bridesmaid’ and this goes for groomsmen also. These ideas will help everyone feel loved and honoured to still have a lovely role in your big day.

Should I do a First Look?
This seems to be the current craze out there. IG and Tik Tok of course have had a lot to do with this.
And if it isn’t the bride and groom doing the first look, then it is the groomsmen or best man doing it for a laugh. Which is actually quite funny when you watch them.
But, the question still remains. Should you do a first look?
I get asked this occasionally so thought I would weigh in on it.

What do I need to organise for my Wedding Ceremony?
You don’t need a big fancy elaborate space with crazy amounts of flowers and decorations if the budget doesn't allow it.
Your guests are there to watch you get married. The moment they are waiting for is for you to walk down the aisle. They are sitting there in anticipation waiting for that big moment and the moment you arrive they don't look at anything else.
The Ceremony details are actually the most simplest part of the planning.
In this episode I will cover:
- What essential items you must organise for your ceremony. The things you really can't go without.
- The extra items that are really just wish list items and they are optional if your budget it tight.
You will realise after listening to this episode that the Ceremony is much more simple than you realise and this will help you get organised fast.
In the Calm Bride Planner we give you 20 suggested readings, vows prompts so you can put your vows together and all the small details you need to plan for your ceremony. You can check it out here.

No One Is Helping Me Wedding Plan.
Your checklist looks like it will never end. And there is no help.
Sometimes others won’t help as they too have a-lot on. Or they don’t think you want it. Sometimes they just need to be asked.
You have to delegate. That is key. You have to decide what tasks you don’t mind handing over and getting help on. It's good to work out other's skills and pass that task to them.
In this episode I will give you some quick suggestions for what tasks you can pass over to:
1. Your Partner
2. Your Parents
3. Your Bridesmaids
4. Your Groomsmen
If you feel like you don’t want to ask anyone to help, struggle to let go or just really can’t rely on others to help you but you don’t want to plan alone please come and join me in the Calm Bride Planner where I will guide you every step of the way and help you save hours of time and make quick decisions. You also have access to me in the FB group to ask any questions any time and the other brides will also help you. You can watch my FREE Wedding Workshop to learn more about the Calm Bride Planner.
One-on-one sessions with me privately can also be purchased here.
But for now, get started with the MMW App ‘to do’ list and see what tasks in that list you can hand over to someone else.

Everyone wants to look back on their wedding day and say it was everything and more they ever imagined and that's exactly how Lisa feels.
Lisa and Jake were only 3 months out from her big day and still didn't have a wedding venue locked in. Their location wasn't going to be ready on time and they definitely had some big decisions to make in the final months. But, they worked through them and had the most magical day.
In this episode Lisa and I discuss:
Q1. Why she didn't have a venue 3 months out and how she handled that situation
Q2. Did she find it hard to DIY most of her wedding and with such short time frames once she knew her venue
Q3. Did she lean on support from others to help her get through and especially on the day itself
Q4. What was her most favourite moment from the day
Q5.Is there anything she would change if she did it again
Q6. Her #1 wedding tip for those planning now
Lisa, honestly is pure joy to listen to and gives those who are planning some wonderful advice.

How do you uninvite wedding guests?
Are you wondering, can I uninvite someone from my wedding?
You might fall into one of these 3 categories:
-
You have already sent an invite to a guest you wish to no longer have attend.
-
You had a few drinks and told some people they would definitely be invited when you actually have no plans or budget to invite them but felt pressured at the time.
-
Or you have sent them a save the date but now don't plan to send them an actual invitation.
Are you feeling like you relate to one of those scenarios?
This is such a common conundrum. But don't fear, I am going to help you through it so that you are not forced to inviting anyone you don't wish to have there.
I am going to give you the perfect wording you can use to make it easier to let them down gently.

Wedding planning is foreign to you so you often have many questions you need answers to but don't know who to ask or you spend hours of wasted time googling.
So, this week on the podcast I decided to share some answers to some commonly asked questions that I have received of late.
The questions I am answering are:
- If you already send out save the date cards do you then still have to invite those people?

Are you stressing about what can potentially go wrong the day of your wedding? Worried about the future when it's actually completely out of your control?
Such a normal worry to have for those planning a wedding. And, to be brutally honest anything and everything can go wrong. But will it? Probably not.
So, in this episode we cover the 6 most common things that could potentially occur the day of your wedding and how to overcome them.
We discuss:
1. The vendor not showing and how to stop this happening
2. The venue calling you to say something has changed and how you can handle it
3. Why people being sick doesn't effect you if it's not your partner
4. How to get around running late if other's hold things up
5. Why not eating enough or drinking enough water will have an awful outcome
6. What do do if the weather doesn't go your way
Once you have listened to this advice, you will be well prepared for things if they do actually go wrong on the day and you will know how to handle it gracefully.

I can't get over how many couples are having issues with their family putting their 2 cents worth in.
Family and sometimes friends seem to want to tell us what to do or what we are doing wrong when planning 'OUR WEDDING' day.
The most common thing I am hearing at the moment (actually daily) is that everyone wants to tell the couple who to invite and who needs to be added to the guest list. It blows my mind that people think they should have a say in this. It's not their day.
So, I want to help you navigate this issue.
In this episode I discuss:
- Why family are putting pressure on you
- How to be clear with your partner on how to handle objections
- Knowing exactly what you will say when opinions are pushed on you
- How to find the easiest solution to keep everyone happy
At the end of the day, everyone will have an opinion on your wedding day. But, it's how you and your partner handle it together that will make or break your wedding day.

Are you wondering if you should give a speech on your wedding day?
It's quite common for the Bride to also give a speech on the wedding day. But, that does not mean you have to give a speech if you are feeling completely torn about the idea. For some of you, the thought of a speech just freaks you out but you also feel pressured to have to do one.
For others, it's a no brainer and you can't wait to take the mic.
In this episode I am going to discuss:
- Why you should or shouldn't do a speech
- How long the speech should be
- What you should say if you do decide to speak
- How to show up as authentically you and not someone who's trying to be funny
Lastly, I will cover the alternatives to doing a speech if you don't want to do one.

So much time and effort goes into planning your special wedding day. But, then you wake up one day and feel so sad that it's all over and you honestly wish you could do the day all over again.
This is why I feel it is just so important to create lasting memories and have keepsakes that you can look at forever, and remember how perfect your wedding day truly was.

How do I keep my family happy in the lead up to my big day?
Have you got family saying you should do x,y,z? They all have opinions, thoughts and advice on your big day right?
They’ve been married before, or they have given you money so think they can put their 2 cents worth in.
Are you feeling like you relate to this so much?
Let’s talk about how to handle this.
- Firstly you have to decide if their thoughts and opinions matter?
- Second you have to know how you will handle them.
- Third you have decide with your partner whom you will be accepting money from and how much. And if you do accept the money how much input will they have?
- Fourth, pick your battles. Sometimes it is not worth the fight. But, which battles are worth fighting?
- Fifth, you can’t actually keep everyone happy. It’s never possible with anything in life. So take on this advice as hard as it is.
Family and often friends will always want to put their 2 cents worth in, this is just life. But, how you handle it can determine how stressful or enjoyable your planning will be.
These suggestions will help you move forward in a more positive light and definitely make your planning more easy and enjoyable.

When is there too much alcohol and too little at a wedding? Or are the wrong drinks offered?
Guests not enjoying the alcohol or scavenging around trying to find a drink is not a good experience and it is also something guests will always remember and talk about.
They don’t often talk about how great the service was. I mean they might for like 24 hours after the wedding or when they tell the bride and groom how great it was. But, it’s the complaining they will always remember and talk about forever.
So here are my pointers for alcohol.
-
You do not need to offer every single drink under the sun. Guests don’t appreciate it or care. This includes spirits.
-
You only need 1 white, 1 red, 1 sparkling and a couple of beers. Guests get confused and don’t appreciate it.
-
You do need to make them the most popular so like a Sauvignon Blanc in white wine. Talk to the venue as they will recommend the most popular and all venues offer something different.
-
You don’t need to have a TAB for spirits if you have a drinks package. You might like to just do it for your bridal party or parents or you and your partner. Guests can and will pay for their spirits if they want them. Guests know this is protocol.
-
If you have a drinks package and you have extended the finish time then you can let guests pay cash for their drinks at the end. If you are doing a TAB do that last after the drinks package. Then do cash. This is then less confusing and flows better.
-
It’s ok to NOT have drinks for the final 30 minutes. They will usually still have one in their hand or have had enough.
-
There should always be drinks poured and ready on arrival. This makes a great first impression.
At the end of the day the guests are only expecting basic so you only need that and if you are on a tight budget then just have the first couple of hours of supplied alcohol and then have cash after that. This is especially a good option if you are worried because they are big drinkers.
If you are known for something like vodka and you really wanted to show that as everyone knows that about the 2 of you and you don’t have the budget then just have 1 special vodka drink on arrival or have a guest favour that’s about vodka. Doing this creates a surprise and delight and gets guests talking about your wedding.
If you have any other pressing questions then please come and chat with my on IG @managemywedding

If someone asked you right now 'why are you getting married' would you know how to answer this question easily?
We saw all over the tabloids this week that J-Lo and Ben Affleck got married! Do you know how they did it? In Vegas, wearing their pre-loved clothing from their closet. They didn't care about all the paparazzi or any details. They just knew they were madly in love and needed to marry each other and spend the rest of their lives together.
I want you to listen to this episode and think about the simplicity of that. The reason we all get married, to marry the love of our life. Not to actually deal with all the wedding planning stress or to have the wedding of the century.
This episode will truly help you realise that those flowers you are stressing over are truly not as important as actually marrying the love of your life. Getting hung up on little details is not important in the big scheme of things.
Spend timing reflecting and start enjoying this journey instead of being stressed.

Do you want more calm and ease in your wedding planning journey? There are 3 tasks you can review right now that will give you exactly that! More calm and ease.
Calm and ease in the planning makes for a more relaxed wedding day.
So, what are these 3 tasks?
- Review your budget. No matter what stage of the planning you are at, you should be constantly reviewing your budget. You need to review the prices against your estimates you made at the start. You should be ensuring you are keeping your budget up to date and including everything you have spent so far so that you can ensure you will have money at the end to pay the final invoices. You should also be reviewing that what you are spending money on is actually in-line with the wedding vision you set.
This leads onto the second task to review constantly.
-
You need to review the wedding vision you should have created at the start of your planning. We cover how to create your wedding vision as the first task in the Calm Bride Planner. Your wedding vision keeps you on track and ensures you are creating a wedding of your dreams and helps you make quick decisions.
-
You need to constantly review your to do list. Within The Manage My Wedding App you will have tasks you haven’t completed or started yet. Can any of those tasks be removed because they really don’t fit with your vision? Or can they be removed just simply because you don't want to do them. Is there anything you haven’t actioned that you really aren’t actioning because someone else is making you do it and it's just not really you? This are very important things to ask yourself throughout the planning.
Review each task remaining on the to do list and ensure it’s what you want and also what you can afford (this is why the wedding vision is so important).
So just to recap. You need to review right now;
- The budget
- The vision
- The 'to do' list
If you feel like you need some help with reviewing these or you are struggling, I suggest you watch my FREE wedding workshop where I share the 3 biggest mistakes I see couples making when wedding planning. You can watch it HERE!

Be prepared, I am giving a bit of rant in this episode. But, anyone getting married needs to hear this.
In this episode I am covering;
- Expectations of what your bridal party are paying to be in the bridal party and how lately this is honestly getting out of control
and
- Crash dieting and your thoughts about how you think you 'should' look on your wedding day and the stress I see around this topic
These are not my normal topics but lately they are coming up more and more so I felt it was time to address them and tell you how I feel it should be at the moment.
Take it or leave it, but listen up and have a good think about what you really are expecting from your bridal party but also what you are expecting from yourself. It's time to be realistic.
Get back to the basics of why you are really getting married. Not for instagram and not to look like a famous model.

Do you currently feel like there are way too many wedding tasks to get through? Like, how are you ever going to get through them all. The list is never ending.
Yes, there are many tasks to get through, I am not going to sugar coat that.
But, usually we are planning around the wrong way and that is why it feels never ending and why you can get overwhelmed.
So, how do you get through all those tasks more easily I hear you ask.
-
You need to plan around the right way and in the correct order. You must bulk together the right tasks.
-
You need to finish a task as much as possible before you move onto another big task. This also helps keep the wedding style cohesive throughout.
-
You must pick your colours and style at certain points of the planning so everything is kept to the same style. This stops you having to review and possibly do a task again later when you realise you did it too early and now it doesn't match your wedding vibe.
We ensure you are covering the right tasks at the right time in the Calm Bride Planner for this exact reason. To save you time and money later. You can checkout the Calm Bride Planner HERE!
-
You need to be specific about what task you are working on right now and what tasks are associated with that task so that you aren't spending your final week stressed and trying to complete a task that could have been handled months before with another task.
-
Don't prioritise the fun tasks over the crucial tasks just because you think it will be easier at the time. The tasks you avoid are usually the most important.
If you are avoiding a task right now because it feels heavy or hard, get onto it now. There is a reason you need to get it ticked off now. Don't regret it later.
If you want a 'to do' list to follow then ensure you have downloaded our FREE Wedding Planning App. There is a detailed 'to do' list in the App to help you feel more in control and know where to start. You can Download it HERE!
Happy Planning,
Yvette xx
Are you wondering what time you should start your wedding ceremony?
It isn't a simple answer to be honest. There are many components to deciding on your start time.
-
Is the start time set by the ceremony venue
-
If not then what hours do you have between to pick from
-
Does the reception have a set time and is that flexible
-
Do you want sunset photo’s and if so what time does the sunset because you have to work back from that
-
How many are in the bridal party needing hair and makeup. You may not want to get up at 5am to get the makeup started.
-
Talk with you celebrant to ensure the time works for them also and that they don’t have other weddings on the same day
-
How long do you need for photographs
There really are so many people you need have conversations with to work out your perfect start time. Ensure you start these conversations before you hit print on those invitations. You don't want to regret your start time when it's too late to make a change.

You do not want to miss this FREE training workshop, we had so much fun.
The training was for the bride-to-be who wants to feel calm and enjoy the wedding planning journey as much as the wedding day and sit-back clinking champagne. You deserve to sit-back on the day clinking champagne knowing everything is planned perfectly.
There are 3 big mistakes couples make when wedding planning. Today I want to share with you what one of those big mistakes is.
This mistake is that I see couples working on the wrong tasks. You don't know what you don't know. Right!
You have never wedding planned before so how are you to know what you might be wasting your time on and what should be a priority.
You get engaged, then you go down the Pinterest rabbit hole. Then you spend hours trying to create the Pinterest wedding. But, you wake up the next day to only realise that guests don't care about what the wedding looked like.
This episode is truly one of my favourites because I am sharing what really the most important tasks are that you should be working on. These tasks will ensure you and your guests wake up the next day talking about how incredible your big day was.
Make sure you listen so you can get cracking on the right tasks and stop wasting hours of your time on the wrong tasks.
Want to make sure you are working on the right tasks and not wasting your precious hours or money?

You do not want to miss this FREE training workshop, it was epic and we had so much fun.
The training was for the ride-to-be who wants to feel calm and enjoy the wedding planning process.
Have you started looking at your wedding timings yet? If not, I want to tell you to get cracking because leaving the schedule until towards the end has a huge knock on affect.
How does it affect your planning and the actual wedding day.
- There are tasks you don't actually realise you need to do until you start to putting your timings together. If you leave it until too late you end up rushed and stressed.
- You need to involve many vendors in the timings and get them all onboard and that can take time as they can be busy with other weddings and not get back to you.
- The venue can be extremely busy and if they don't get back to you it can hold you back with making decisions and completing other tasks.
- You need the timings to finalise the MC Agenda and to advise anyone helping so they know the plans and what is expected from them.
Leaving these discussions and decisions until towards the end can really make you feel rushed and that in turn causes you to maybe not finalise things properly or to not follow-up something very important up.

Are you worried that you might forget to organise something? There are so many things to do that this is a very common thought. You have so much happening, so much to think of and what if something slips your mind or you just don't know to organise something.
So, how do you ensure you don't forget anything?
Here are my tips:
-
Keep referring to the app 'to do' list and ensure you have finalised each task
-
In the lead up, ensure you allocate space in your home that is completely dedicated to the wedding. Store everything in that one space so when you are rushed you can easily find it. You don't want to get triggered because you can't find something and then you end up stressed.
-
Checklists. Have a checklist for absolutely everything. If you need additional help here, ensure you have our Ultimate Checklist Bundle to help you not forget anything. But, if you haven't got something written down, with all the things you have to remember then it's likely you will forget something.
-
Visualise the order of your wedding day so you can think of what happens in each moment and this will help you think of things you may not have done yet. Ensure you listen to this episode so you can hear me explain how this works as it's a clever little trick for your memory.
If you are worried you are going to forget something then ensure you come and join me for my first ever, live wedding webinar training session. You can register to join the webinar HERE! I am so excited to get to teach you my wedding secrets.

How do you ensure the food at your wedding is incredible and that the guests talk about it forever. Because lets be honest, the food is a huge talking point at any wedding and it's often what guests will talk about forever.
So, what do you need to consider:
- The chef. You want your chef to be happy and you want to ensure what you have planned doesn't make their job stressful or impacted
- Listen to your venues suggestions and advice of food and timings
- Your food options you order are key
- Be certain on your timings so you don't run late and you have cold or overcooked food served
Your guests are always very hungry when they get to the reception, so make it a positive experience for them. Make sure they are talking about how good the food is when they are eating.
You want to ensure your wedding day runs smoothly and that the guests talk positively about your food for years to come. No one wants their guests talking about cold food or food that ran out.
Follow these suggestions and you are sure to have happy guests.

Organising a wedding in a global pandemic is no walk in the park. And unlike most other questions that come up while planning your big day, COVID-related questions can’t often be solved with a quick google search. These tough times are raising big questions, I know because many of you are jumping into my DM’s for solutions. This is why I’ve compiled a special edition of the answers to COVID questions you have no one else to answer for you. There are just four questions in this episode but they are biggies. You’re welcome.
Tune in to learn the answers to:
- What wording do I use to tell my guests they must be vaccinated for our wedding day?
- Is it ok to pick a mid-week date for our new rescheduled wedding date? I am worried our guests will feel inconvenienced.
- When setting a new date for the wedding what do I need to move? How do I make sure I have covered everything?
- What fun ideas can you suggest we do on our wedding postponed wedding day?
Thank you to the bridal couples that submitted their COVID-related questions to me via Instagram. If you have a question that you would like me to answer, I would love to hear from you. Just send me a message via the Manage My Wedding Instagram.

You will be surprised to learn just how many bridal couples forget their manners post-wedding and don’t send out a thank you card. For me, at least 50 per cent of the weddings I have attended as a guest have not sent a simple thank you card after the event.
Please don’t be one of these couples that don’t say thank you. It is really such a simple gesture that can mean so much to your guests and suppliers.
Tune in to learn:
- exactly who you need to thank after your wedding.
- how to thank your guests and suppliers including some creative ideas to take your thank you to the next level.
- why it's a good idea to organise your thank you cards before your wedding day.
- why a digital thank you card just doesn’t cut it.

Has the wedding planning overwhelm hit yet? Are you struggling to tick off tasks on your to-do list? In my decades of wedding and event planning, I’ve watched on as countless couples have become consumed by the all-encompassing overwhelm experienced by planning their dream day.
You see, for most of us, our big day is the first time we have organised a wedding yet we are somehow expected to instantly become experienced event planners and know exactly what it takes to successfully plan out the details of a perfect day.
I know it's impossible for bridal couples to become wedding experts overnight which is why I’ve invited Vanessa from The Wedding and Event Creators to share her wisdom on how to overcome the all too familiar struggles encountered while wedding planning. You’ll love listening in as Vanessa shares her simple strategies you can implement today to help you stay on track and also be inspired as she shares secrets from some of her favourite showstopping weddings to date.
To help you avoid any stress and make it as easy as possible I’ve created a Seating Plans Made Easy guide for you. It’s everything I’ve learned about successful seating and perfect placement in my 20 years in the events and wedding industry, as well as countless mediation sessions with couples who can’t agree.

This is the second part of a two part series on what to handover to your wedding venue in the week before your wedding.
If you haven’t listened to episode 92, I recommend starting there, it will stop you running around in a hot mess the week before your wedding.
You’d be forgiven for thinking you spend more time talking with your venue than you do your partner when you’re planning your wedding, right? When you spend months liaising with your wedding venue you’d think you’d be able to read each other’s minds. But they can’t.
A reputable venue will move heaven and earth to make your wedding exactly as you want it to be - but if you really want your wedding to be smooth, stress free and floaty, I’ve got the good oil on what information your venue needs to know so they don’t spend all day and night tapping you on the shoulder.
Honestly, this info is not difficult, but it will make all the difference to your day.
Get your pens and papers out because you’ll want this list.

Done well, your wedding will be a dream. Done in a rush, you’ll be re-arranging on the day.
Imagine your mum was seated next to the revolving kitchen door and got whacked each time it opened because your seating plan wasn’t clear - ouch. I’ve seen it happen (and worse).
I want to make sure this doesn’t happen to you. I’m going to walk you through everything you need to take to your wedding venue the week of your wedding so they can set up as well as the vital information you need to give them in the final meeting before your - eeek - wedding.
There’s so much to cover on this topic I’m covering it in two podcasts, so be sure to listen to podcast 93 for Part 2.
Grab and pen and paper (if you don’t have the app) and get ready to make a list, and schedule a meeting with your venue for the week of your wedding, even if it’s months away.
PS: A word from the MC on seating plans. They’re a challenge, right? Enough to make eloping look tempting.

No one wants to talk about it, we kind of suffer in silence, hoping like crazy our wedding will be ok. Am I right?
Planning your wedding is an emotion filled labour of love, and right now it feels like our plans could be derailed at any moment because of restrictions on travel, guest numbers, and lockdowns. Talk about an emotional roller coaster.
We’re a sweaty mess of anxiety, “what if’s” and “should we’s” and my heart goes out to everyone.
To help with the what if’s I’m sharing my ideas on potential wedding plan B’s if pandemic measures drop a big downer on your dream day.
A plan B is important because you can work through the issues in a more considered way, rather than making poor decisions when you’re stressed and anxious. It doesn’t need to be set in stone, you might have three you’ll assess once you know what you’re dealing with.
So tune it to learn what your plan B’s look like if your dream wedding day is affected by the insert naughty word pandemic or other disaster.
Sit down and chat with your partner about the options, write them down and pop them somewhere safe.
I’ve got everything crossed you’ll never need to open them.
PS: if you’ve come up with a plan B I haven’t covered, drop me a line on Instagram and let me know. I’ll add it to the list.

Choosing your wedding venue is an exciting part of your wedding planning (you’ve felt the thrills picturing your wedding, haven’t you?) and today I’m talking with Martha from the iconic Fins Plantation House on the Tweed Coast in Australia.

Your wedding day musicians can make a huge difference to your celebration, right? We’ve all been to weddings where the dance floor is empty or the music falls flat. You want your wedding celebration to be a reflection of your happiness and your guests to have a ball, talking about the party long after your wedding is over.
Even if you’ve already booked your entertainers, this podcast is for you.
Today I’m getting the inside scoop on choosing your entertainers and the things you need to know before you start your search. There’s plenty here I didn’t think of, and it’s why I invited Lei-Ahna from Janda Events to share her secrets on all things wedding musicians and vendors in general.
Tune in to learn:
- What you and your partner should agree on before you start your search
- What to discuss with your venue
- The vendor vibe (it’s a thing)

“Your wedding is the most important time in your life and you deserve to feel supported and organised while planning the wedding of your dreams”.
Hey, recognise the snazzy opener to the podcast I popped above? I put it there to remind you that you are planning your wedding and no one else’s.
I get messages every day from couples asking how to deal with well-meant and not so well-meant pressure from friends, family, or bridal parties. Some people don’t realise they are causing you pain, anxiety, and sleepless nights while others are plain, mean.
We can’t control how other people behave, speak or think, but we can control our response. It’s hard and can push you and your partner to the brink if the communication lines aren’t open wide.
But this is your day and today we are going to unpack some of the ways to handle the pressure cooker of requests, suggestions, and unrequested advice from just about everyone in the lead up to your wedding.
Breathe, stick to your goals and what’s true for you and your partner because you’ve made your decisions for good reasons.
But don’t forget your manners, and never underestimate the power of listening and thanking people for their advice, welcome or not.
Tip: keep this podcast handy, and listen again to stay grounded and happy. It’s my wedding woo woo.
And remember, I’m only a DM on Instagram away.

You’re not alone if the stress of wedding planning is crushing your mojo.
Couples are typing “how to avoid wedding stress” into Google faster than they can say “Gin and Tonic, minus the Tonic”.
I recently chose a random group of newlyweds and asked if they would complete a survey about the stuff they lost sleep over when they were planning.
Four topics appeared consistently (I knew they would). Today I’m going to help you navigate the murky waters of these four wedding planning energy sappers, so you have the best day of your life.
Drumroll please for the top four headache causing wedding issues. Are you experiencing any?
- Family interfering in the planning
- The guest list and trying not to offend friends and family
- Getting people to the venue if the wedding is a distance from home
- Sticking to the wedding budget

Half your guests won’t RSVP. It’s rude, right? It doesn’t mean your guests don’t love you or won’t be coming, it’s life. We’re all busy, but as a couple planning their wedding, it’s annoying and brings many tasks to a screeching halt.

It's your wedding and who is invited is totally up to you. This includes inviting kids. But, you have to remember kids are noisy and they throw tantrums but they can also be lots of fun. It's usually the 3 year olds who are the last ones on the dance floor at midnight.
Orly from Coastal Babysitters is on this week's episode and she is sharing from her years of experience the top 5 things you need to consider if you having kids at your wedding. Orly covers:
- How to pick the right venue that is child-friendly
- What activities you need to have to entertain them
- What quiet space or accommodation might be necessary
- How to have an open mind with the chaos that kids can bring
- When it's best to hire a professional to step in and help out with the kids while the adults party and enjoy themselves

Honesty time. I rarely hear a positive story about couples who use friends and family as suppliers at their wedding. Blurry photos, last-minute cancellations, and broken friendships.
Have you already agreed to let a friend help? Don’t freak out because today I’ll discuss:
- What you need to consider before you proceed with friends or family as suppliers
- What to do if you have already agreed to work with a family or friend
As long as you are comfortable with the advice and your decision, it can be magical. I want you to feel supported and equipped with everything you need to make fab wedding decisions.

Tricky, isn’t it? Are we asking too much from our guests, by asking for cash instead of wedding gifts? Tacky? Couples often ask me if it’s rude to ask for money instead of a gift registry or wedding presents.
Friends, let’s get real for a second. Most of us are already living together or have our places when we marry. We have a lot of stuff.
So, today I’m sharing my four options for guests and gifting:
- gift registry ideas (and how to avoid opening four lovely toasters)
- asking for money instead of a present
- having a gift registry and a financial gift option
- no gifts at all
Times are changing. Financial gifts are very common these days, so go with the flow. Guests feel so much better when they know what you want.
Ooh, remember, we now have wedding planning tools for everyone

Today’s episode will give you goosebumps. We are talking “all things” modern wedding calligraphy, aka bespoke, romantic, handwritten, decorative words. Mention calligraphy and thoughts turn to stationery and Olde world lettering, but it can be as contemporary as you are. Did you know:
- calligraphy can transform a wedding veil
- and, you can engrave calligraphy onto glass and other surfaces. Perfume bottles or champagne flutes, perhaps?
Jo from Calligraphy En Vogue takes us on a styling journey certain to get you thinking. Honestly, my friends, the options are endless. Create a personal heirloom or use it to style your wedding.
This is one episode you need in your planning kit. And the great news, personalised calligraphy isn’t a budget buster.

Is your wedding on a public holiday or celebration day, like Valentine’s Day or Halloween? You might have chosen the date because it’s special to you as a couple. Or the choice was made for you because of the pandemic.
Either way, I promise you’ll have the best day of your life.
Today I’m going to walk you through some wedding planning tips for holiday weddings.
- Things to consider for public holiday weddings and when to schedule them
- Incorporating the holiday into your wedding
- In to your entire wedding theme, or
- Little touches to acknowledge the holiday to add fun, without it taking over your wedding day.
The most important consideration is always you. If you're happy with your wedding plan, you’ll have a ball.
If you’re newly engaged or new to the podcast, congrats. After this, listen to Episodes 1 and 2 of the podcast (links below). They cover the first two "must do's" before you start planning.

Wedding planning during Covid. It's stressful, right? I know some of you are on your second or third attempt at setting a date and my heart goes out to you.
Today I’m chatting with Amy about how she and her partner decided to stop stressing about Covid. And have the wedding of their dreams - in their backyard. We’ll share their intimate backyard wedding ideas and how they arranged it in eight weeks. And you know what? It was better than the dream wedding they’d planned to start with.
Like so many of you, Amy and Jess had found their dream wedding venue and suppliers. Pandemic uncertainty and border closures meant they postponed twice. Trying to set a new date was a nightmare. It all got too hard. So they decided to go with the flow and get married anyway. Enter the DIY backyard wedding idea.
We’ll discuss:
- why Amy and Jess chose a backyard wedding
- what to consider before committing to a backyard wedding
- the logistics, planning and external suppliers
- how much the backyard wedding cost compared to the original wedding
- highlights of the day and night
- some invaluable tips, tricks and advice for couples planning a backyard wedding
This is a true story about how wedding plans can change so many times, and how it all works out in the end. At Manage My Wedding we understand how uncertain wedding planning is right now. We want to support you on your wedding journey, help you through the bumpy bits and celebrate the big day. One thing we do know is it always works out in the end.

You’ve had a discussion with your partner and decided to have an adult only wedding with no plus ones. It’s very common these days. You’d also prefer no phones during the ceremony and want to be the first to share your moment on social media.
Sounds great. But how do you tell your friends and family your expectations without offending them? Or have an awkward moment on your wedding day when plus ones and children arrive because they didn’t get the memo.
Today, I’m sharing some wedding invitation wording suggestions and tips to navigate the murky waters of children, plus ones and all things technology at your wedding.
I’ll chat through polite ways to communicate:
- If little ones are on the invitation list
- If plus ones are on the invitation list
- Whether phones and photos are welcome during the ceremony
- If guests can post photos on social media
Without ruining friendships or destroying your sanity.

Struggling with the idea of changing your name after your wedding? Rest assured, you are not alone. And it's ok. Some people look forward to it. Some are more cautious.
Even though you are marrying the love of your life, taking a new name can be a big decision. The paperwork is time-consuming, so you should be comfortable with it. It's not for everyone, and it's fine.
Today Yvette shares her advice about changing your name:
- Whether changing your name after your wedding means you lose your identity
- Alternatives to taking your spouse's name after your wedding
- Why you should include your partner in the decision
- And if you decide to change your name after your marriage, the ideal time to do it

Today’s episode is brought to you by the Manage My Wedding App. The Manage My Wedding App was created to take the stress out of planning a wedding while helping bridal couples stay organised and on budget. Many wedding budgets are blown early, and it can be very stressful if you don’t have the money to pay your suppliers in the last couple of weeks before your wedding. The budget section within the App tracks payments to each supplier and lets you know if you are staying within budget. You can even create a wish list separate to your budget so that if there's money left over, you can move a wish list item into your essential elements. You can download the App via our website managemywedding.com. If you don’t have an ios device, then please keep on listening to the podcast as I am excited to say that something is coming very soon that will help you plan your wedding.
