As wedding guests, we want to make sure that attending your wedding isn't a waste of time. Like, did you even try?
We chatted with wedding planner Tara of Signature Concepts LLC about prioritizing the wedding guest experience and why we should do so.
What is something you saw at a wedding that told you the couple cared about their guests?
Holiday weddings = less guests
Let's cut that guest list anyway we can...
Note: this might not work with your guest list but you can always try if destination weddings seem unlikely.
Prioritizing self-care is not only important throughout your engagement, but is necessary in your marriage, too. This means setting boundaries and taking time for y'allselves. We chatted with Shonte’ of Woosah Bride about how to do this -- because sometimes it is easier said than done.
We had no idea the timing of this episode would be so timely if you know what we mean. Enjoy this episode no matter where you are in your engagement or marriage. There's something for everyone in this convo. ❤️
Wedding favors with little to no explanation
Do you agree? What's your favorite and not so favorite wedding favors?
POV: It's your bach
You really don't know what's going to happen next during your bach and that's part of the thrill, ngl.
We are the new adults. And when you compound that with getting married, you get all sorts of pressure from family and friends. We know y'all know this.
On this week's episode of Hue I Do, we chatted with lifestyle content creator Shameika L.H. Smith (who is also a repeat guest) about the expectations of marriage. We talked about everything from:
💎 being pressured into having kids
💎 watching our friends evolve through life, too
💎 how our friendships changed after we got married
💎 prioritizing our mental health
💎 and so much more
Do you agree? And no matter where you are in your journey, you'll enjoy this episode. ♥️
That feeling when your wedding is over
Sometimes, you're not even sad that the wedding is over but really all the stuff that comes along with being engaged. All the extra attention. The regular check-ins with your vendors. Making decisions so even the details are intentional to your love story. Then it's just over.
Poof. You're a wife.
Yay. Like yes, you are thrilled to be your boo's wife. But, there's a little part of you that misses being engaged. We know we aren't alone.
Have you heard that thought that you shouldn't talk to your single friends about your marriage? What do you think about that? 🤔
How to feel after the wedding
When your wedding is over, sometimes it feels like "now what?" Especially if you've dedicated so much time to planning and designing your wedding yourself.
We chatted with a lovely therapist, Lakeita of Dallas Healing House, about how to feel and what to do after the wedding is over. This answer was perfect.
Did you struggle with what to do after your wedding ended? If so, what did you do?
POV: your single friend got their wedding invitation
There's always that one friend that can't fathom coming to the wedding by themselves. 🙃
Would you use Eventbrite for your wedding?
Would you use Eventbrite for your wedding? Eric & Janeeka did for theirs. They explained why on last week's episode of Hue I Do. No new episode this week because tomorrow is Ashleigh's anniversary so go back and catch up on all the episodes you've missed, if any!
Should you tip your wedding venue?
Should you tip your wedding venue...? And if so, how?
Camille of JunePlumm Events explained to us how we can tip all of our vendors on episode 164 of Hue I Do.
