Setting Expectations for Planning as a Couple

January 26, 2024 in Top Tips

We all know that typically the bride sits down with her wedding planner and handles most of the planning herself. Maybe she delegates some details off to the groom to handle, but majority she oversees. We wanted to give some insight & suggestions in how to successfully plan your wedding together so no one feels overwhelmed or disconnected during the planning process.

We like to suggest to sit down after you get engaged and talk through key components of your wedding day with each other so you know each others expectations and how you both can make it a fun, stress free, and successful planning process. Listed below are the some of the key components to talk about! ↓

  1. What is most important to each of your about the wedding?

    • This helps for involvement, budgeting, & more.

    • This also helps so that the other person isn’t including things the other doesn’t want- for example: the bride includes a first look on the wedding day and the groom wanted to save it for the aisle. It’s better if things like that are talked through beforehand because it could affect the timeline of the day for your vendors, and it could avoid some miscommunication through the two of you later on in the planning process.

  2. What you individually plan to contribute financially & if you have specific items you want those funds to go towards.

  3. What you each want to be involved in (& also expressing what you want the other person to be involved in so there is no guessing)

    • this could be guest list, venue selection, vendors, design, music, budget, food, bar, florals, attire, etc.

Our biggest piece of advice is to be completely transparent and set expectations and importance beforehand so that you’re less likely to feel one sided in your planning process!
