Why Planning a Wedding is so Stressful and How to Survive It

from Shoot the Vows · host Shoot the Vows

Nobody tells you that planning a wedding can feel like a second job that also makes you cry. In this episode of Shoot the Vows, we're sitting down with Ashley Statt from Statt Events to get real about why wedding planning is so overwhelming — and more importantly, how to actually get through it without losing your mind (or your relationship). From the mistakes couples make right after getting engaged to the hidden costs and decision fatigue that nobody warns you about, Ashley is sharing the honest truth about what to expect and how to stay sane. We're getting into: 💍 The biggest mistakes couples make in the first 30 days after getting engaged 💍 How to figure out what actually matters to YOU vs. what Pinterest, TikTok, and your mom are telling you 💍 When couples think they're behind but they're totally fine — and when they think they're fine but they're actually behind 💍 How to split up planning tasks with your partner without it turning into a fight 💍 The stuff no one warns you about — hidden costs, decision fatigue, and the emotional rollercoaster of it all If you're engaged and already feeling the stress (or you haven't started yet and you're dreading it), this episode is your permission slip to take a deep breath and do it differently. 🗓️ Connect with Statt Events: Website: https://www.stattevents.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stattevents 🎙️ Connect with Shoot the Vows: Website: https://shootthevows.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shootthevows 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shoot-the-vows/id1850468898 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5gdQT05rvXeV4dc9cUBSaz #WeddingStress #WeddingPlanning #EngagedCouple #WeddingTips #WeddingMistakes #WeddingBudget #DecisionFatigue #WeddingAdvice #NewlyEngaged #WeddingPodcast #ShootTheVows #StattEvents #WeddingCoordinator #BridalTips #WeddingPlanningTips #EngagementTips #CoupleGoals #WeddingHelp #HiddenWeddingCosts
