About this listen

We break down why two early choices—guest count and priorities—quietly shape your whole wedding, from budget and timeline to guest experience. Then we tackle plus ones, hotel blocks, vendor meals, and a handful of stubborn myths with practical fixes.

• setting guest count as the foundation for time, cost, and flow
• using RSVPs and online tools to lock clean headcounts
• planning buffers for seating, bars, photos, and bathrooms
• understanding hotel blocks, transportation, and parking limits
• staffing needs for catering, bartending, and setup
• feeding vendors and clarifying meal types in contracts
• choosing three shared priorities to guide spending
• drawing firm lines on plus ones with cultural nuance
• using A–B–C lists to manage invites
• debunking myths about rain, Saturdays, DIY, and dress rules
