Let’s fix what most brides overlook. Let’s save you stress and money because most brides spend thousands on things guests won’t even remember.

✨Comment “Checklist” and I’ll DM you my Wedding Masterplan Starter Kit the free roadmap 500+ brides used to plan stress-free, stay organized, and save thousands 

I’ve planned, attended, and coached brides through hundreds of weddings, and here’s the truth: 

These 5 things don’t impact your guests’ experience but they do blow your budget!

1. Fancy favors: Half get left on tables. Save your time and budget.

2. Extra dessert tables: Cake, donuts, and macarons? One sweet option is enough.

3. Monogrammed everything: No one notices, and custom printing costs can add up fast.

4. Over-the-top florals: Guests remember the vibe, not the vase count.

5. Pricey linens or chargers: They look cute in photos, but no one will notice them in real life.

Here’s what guests do remember: the energy, the music, and that you actually enjoyed the day.

What 95% of brides regret not putting on their wed What 95% of brides regret not putting on their wedding website 

*Comment “START” and I’ll DM you my free Wedding Masterplan Starter Kit the exact roadmap 500+ brides used to plan their dream weddings

Let’s fix what most brides overlook before it causes day of chaos.

You finally built your wedding website but if you’re anything like most brides, you probably missed a few small (but crucial) details your guests actually need.

💡 5 Must Have Details for Your Wedding Website

 1. Hotel block info: include deadline + booking code or guests won’t book in time.

 2. Parking/shuttle details: save yourself 47 confused texts on wedding morning.
 
3. Attire expectations: say “Garden Formal” or “No heels, it’s on grass” to avoid awkward fits.

 4. Exact ceremony time: say “Guests seated by 2:45PM”, not just “Starts at 3”.

 5. Weekend schedule: clarify who’s invited to brunch or rehearsal so no one feels left out.

Get the exact roadmap I used to plan my wedding stress-free (and avoid these mistakes before they cause day-of chaos).
