BONUS #3: Talking About Money & Wedding Costs With Loved Ones

The Great Wedding Budget Debate: Surviving Your Family's Financial Opinions. I was inspired by last night’s Wedding Planning Happy Hour. This was a HOT topic and I felt it was one that needed to be shared with all of you.

Takeaways

• Start thinking about these family members, who are financially contributing to your wedding as investors
• Don’t react to their sticker shock!
• If you don’t have an iron-clad budget spreadsheet, you are not ready to talk about money with them.
• Getting a credit card specifically for wedding costs is a great idea if done responsibly
• If you’re hiring a wedding planner or month of coordinator, make sure you find out their communication boundaries and expectations.
