Setting Boundaries Around Wedding Planning (for the sake of your sanity)

Wedding planning is supposed to be fun, right? But let’s be real—sometimes, it feels like a never-ending to-do list, an emotional rollercoaster, and a pressure cooker all at once. I call that The Triple SUCK. Rest assured, if you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed, overthinking, or straight-up burnt out, you’re not alone.We’ve pretty much all been there.

In this episode of Hey Bride, The Antidote to Wedding Planning Burnout, I dig into how to break the cycle of stress, set boundaries, and actually enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Because let’s be honest—you deserve to feel good while planning your wedding, not just relieved when it’s over.

Why You’re Feeling Stressed AF

For many brides, wedding planning can feel like a full-time job on top of everything else you’ve got going on. Decision fatigue? Check. Unsolicited opinions? Oh yeah. That nagging feeling that you’re doing it wrong? Been there.

But here’s the thing—sometimes, it’s not just what you’re doing that’s draining you; it’s when you’re doing it. In the episode, I talk about how I was starting my mornings by scrolling social media, instantly setting the tone for the rest of my day. Sound familiar?

What You Can Do About It

Instead of giving you a cookie-cutter strategy, I’m sharing the right questions to ask yourself so you can create a planning process that actually works for you—not someone else’s version of what your wedding “should” look like.

Here are just a few of the questions we cover in the episode:

✔️ How am I really doing—mentally, emotionally, physically?

✔️ What’s making me feel this way?

✔️ What helped me in the past when I felt like this?

✔️ How do I want to feel?

✔️ What can I do in the next 10 minutes to support myself?

If any of that resonates, listen to this episode. I’m sharing my own personal experience with this, how to course-correct, and the exact steps I took to make wedding planning something that didn’t completely stress me out or overwhelm me.
