Get ready for a jam-packed Wedding Q&A show, full of your planning questions & concerns! Here's a sampling of what's on the menu this week:

• How much alcohol to buy? >>> click here for one of my favorite hosting tools ever (and tune in to my full answer for lots more helpful tips on the topic!)

• What can we expect for the price of flowers?

• Who pays for the bridal shower, & should I offer to help? >>> click here for blog post "Practical Bridal Shower Gift Ideas"

• Fiance doesn't want any wedding party at all, but I do. How to proceed?

• Rehearsal dinner options are way too expensive. Advice on making it more affordable?

• Should we hire a babysitter for our reception?

• What's a good way to ask for cash instead of gifts? Spoiler alert, I don't think there's a "good" way, but creating cash funds that you can share on your gift registry is an option with Honeyfund. There are no fees, and you can even link directly to your Venmo or PayPal accounts.

• Do we have to seat wedding party members with their dates?

Happy Friday, and welcome to a BONUS Q&A follow up show to this week's feature episode, "4-6 Week Wedding Countdown" show that aired on Wednesday, July 16th.

Today we're finding answers to everything on your mind, including:

• Dis-inviting moms to final venue walk through?
• Last-minute doubts about decor and signage, do we need more?
• Do we have to tell our guests that we're already technically married?
• How to design a clean & crisp tablescape {link to Wedding Q&A Pinterest board here!}
• Is it too late to hire a month-of coordinator?
• Dealing with unwanted, uninvited "plus 1's" in our RSVPs

Questions about your own wedding, or future show topic requests? Be in touch on our website: weddingplanningpodcast.co/contact.

Enjoy the show!

Today we’re going to run through a 10-item wedding to-do list for when you reach the final 4-6 week countdown before your wedding day.

While some of the items in today’s show are pretty standard, others are much less obvious - and sadly are not commonly discussed.

Overlooking just one of these important action-items can tip the scales towards a stressful, frantic celebration - and I don't want that for you!
