- Get on the same page as your fiancé: your wedding is a celebration of your partnership, so start by having open and honest conversations with your fiancé about your shared vision for the big day. Discuss what’s most important to both of you—whether it’s the guest list, venue, or overall vibe. Being aligned will make planning smoother and reduce unnecessary stress.
- Set boundaries early: weddings often bring out strong opinions from family and friends, but remember, this is your day. Politely but firmly set boundaries about what you’re willing to compromise on and what’s non-negotiable. A simple “we’ve decided to do what feels right for us,” goes a long way in keeping the peace while staying true to your vision.
- Make it about you, not everyone else: your wedding should reflect your personality, values, and love story—not what others think it should be. At the end of the day, you and your fiancé are the ones who will remember this day forever, so make sure it feels special to you.
