How to Plan a Wedding

[@mkcarrot]

I’m finally watching these videos as a fiancé! I can’t wait to put all of these years of watching you to use!

[@PhantomAngel147]

Congratulations! That’s exactly how I felt when I got engaged. Jamie’s channel and insta are gonna be SO helpful!!

[@D.R.590]

Saaaame!

[@elizabethtaraashley]

Congratulations!!!

[@mill8722]

Same here !!🥰🥰

[@AgataStonka]

haha, so I’m not the only one NOT engaged watching to these xd

[@Luminous_Tater]

WHERE ALL MY ENGAGED ADHD AND OCD PEEPS AT LOL this video really helped me because iv learned a wedding is just a big party with extra steps and more over thinking than I usually do lol lol

[@jordankate4848]

Got engaged on the 29th of December and I couldn’t be more excited! Bring on planning 🎉

[@lindsaym8053]

I just want to say I LOVE your videos. My daughter’s dream June 2023 wedding got moved to a *much* much simpler Dec. 2022 wedding that I planned in 4 weeks. I binged watched your videos for advice. Thank you for all of the highly relevant information and keeping each video moving quickly without nonsense chit chat 😊. I wish I had reason to keep watching as it is so entertaining and filled with such good information! Blessings to you! ❤

[@christinashanks4497]

Jamie!!! I've been watching your content for YEARS, and i just got engaged this past weekend!! He proposed on our anniversary where it was an intimate moment just the two of us. He nailed it! It's so cool to be rewatching your videos now with a ring on my hand. I've quoted you so many times already 😂 that i already feel prepared to plan and im asking "what would Jamie do?" Im excited for this to be as simple as possible with all of the amazing content you've put out. Thanks so much!

[@AquaSparkle18]

I just started planing my wedding and discovered your channel yesterday! I started diving into your channel this evening, so this video couldn't have come at a more perfect time! Thanks for making such helpful and refreshing content ❤

[@dginicola]

Congrats!!! she is the bestttttt

[@JasmineJones-wh1tv]

I'm engaged but cannot get moving on any form of planning. It's so daunting it's paralyzing. Lately I feel like I can barely keep up with everyday life let alone take on planning a wedding.

[@vanessahobbes3072]

I feel the same.

[@edithl3441]

Oh no! I agree, getting started on planning your happy day can be VERY daunting. I hope you’re able to lean on close friends for support, and to help break down some of those tasks over a few hrs. each week. Sending positive vibes your way, bride. You got this!

[@xenonsan3110]

Idk if this helps at all but one thing that's helped me is destigmatizing what it means to plan a wedding. At the end of the day, it's just a fancy party. You don't need 20 steps 15 vendors 200 save the dates a hotel blocked out for out of state guests etc. to have a party. There are people whose only "wedding" they do is to go to the local bar and rent out party space (course if you're here you may not want that lol) My point is, the wedding industry purposely makes it feel overwhelming so they can charge you more or sell you things on how to plan a wedding. Just plan the party you want to see and don't worry about what should or shouldn't be done. If people have a problem with that screw them and don't invite them Also it's ok to take some time to process this. My wedding isn't until 2024, over a year away. We did this to take time to also just be engaged but also to get the venue we wanted. We have been dating for over 5 years at this point so waiting a couple more isn't going to kill us lol

[@sun-bleachedbones6027]

My wedding is four months away, and thanks to the Master Plan workbook, I 100% feel like I know what I'm doing! Thanks Jamie, for saving me from a boatload of extra stress from day one!

[@EdraIzzo]

Hello I'm just interested in how your wedding went? Congratulations!! 🎉

[@sun-bleachedbones6027]

​@@EdraIzzo Hello, and thank you! It was absolutely incredible, and everything went smoothly. I give the master plan workbook a lot of credit!

[@esterwikstrom]

Thank you Jamie for reminding me that you cannot meet everyones expectations! It's so true but being in the middle of wedding planning I had forgotten about that. When you said that I felt my shoulders drop

[@marymusicle9791]

I’ve been a fiancé for almost a month and already tried starting to look at all things wedding related!! 🥰

[@mrsoreosongz]

I’ve been watching your videos forever and I finally got engaged on 12/30! So excited to finally use all of your tips to begin planning. Can you make a video on destination weddings please ?

[@charmaleegrayson4819]

Hey there, I'm a 2023 Jamaican bride, your videos are so helpful, thank you 😀

[@a1stbornunicorn]

Since finding your page in October I have felt so much more secure in planning my small wedding reception. We're working with a small budget because we're doing a destination elopement and having a "happily ever after-party" later this year. Well, I've learned that a 40 person reception is still very much a wedding in the eyes of many vendors so the costs are a lot higher than I had anticipated. Your videos are so bingeable that I feel like an expert at this point, at least for what we're trying to accomplish. Thank you so much for all of your transparent and fun to watch content! If I were religious I'd say you're god-sent. You're most definitely universe-sent!

[@jahkeliadevine5836]

Im not even engaged just here for the future 😂😂😂

[@heatherhunter3536]

I have worked as a wedding musician for a decade so I felt prepared to plan things but now that I am the bride I feel like a deer in headlights realizing how much there is to plan besides music!! Thanks for advice

[@nayl.900]

What does the day look like if you are a DIY bride and set up/take down is up to you and the bridal party?

[@courtneyfreeman7803]

First video watching with a ring! So excited to get started!!

[@tanzeelamariam3421]

You are such a stress reliever

[@timalasike1838]

Love your KZbin videos @Jamie !! Super informative and VERY helpful! Direct to the point. Realistic. Humorous, down to Earth and easy to understand. Thanks so much! Sending Love & Light from Australia 🇦🇺 ✨️

[@ellie_michelle6987]

Me: watching every Jamie video for years in a relationship for 5 years not engaged Jamie: CONGRATULATIONS ME: ouch😢

[@selandiatoote7489]

same... XD Hopefully we'll get there one day ^_^

[@kristifitzgerald1374]

[@kaylamichelle36]

Getting married this year and been engaged for 2! Have to re-assess where we're at- most big things are done but would love to hear advice on planning a stag and doe or Jack and Jill

[@bbsbk1]

omg! this video was out out on the day I got engaged!😊 Thank you for being so real and honest. Needed this.

[@rachel_sj]

…watching this as a married woman who got hitched on Labor Day weekend last year, wondering if I missed anything (still have to send out the Thank You cards and share photos though) 😅😂

[@Ayra_Asmr]

Still waiting… hoping it happens in 2023 🥺

[@Jruan23]

I'm still waiting for minee.. one day :)

[@Jruan23]

Watching this video again and I am engaged

[@katiestrother6564]

My boyfriend of almost 10 years, since I was a little baby sophomore in high school, finally proposed to me at our daughters 1st birthday party. All of our friends and family got to see our beautiful moment and I cannot wait for our daughter to be the cutest flower girl around. So excited to have found your channel because I could use alllll the help/advice I can get 🥲

[@joyfuljaj]

I'm nowhere close to getting married but you made me feel better to know they're actually is an order for doing things. I have ADD and will also be an incredibly budget bride so knowing where to start how to start was going to intimidate me. I've never understood how to set a budget when if I think about what I would be able to put together and save for a wedding would be nowhere close to what most people spend. I can't fathom spending $10,000. I guess if I had a fiance we would then be able to figure out the saving and putting aside expenses for the wedding together. At my age I'll just be glad to have somebody to say "I do" at our church, have a few flowers a little bit of cake and that's it. My friends and family wouldn't be looking for much more. When it comes to food at a wedding the cake is the most important part for me. I bake and decorate cakes for fun and all my friends know that that would be the only thing I cared about at a reception. 🎉 I don't know why I came across your videos but I've enjoyed listening to them a while I am unpacking into my house. Thank you for wanting to help people make it through a stressful but joyful time of their life without going crazy and over budget!

[@carolinerobinette]

I am a few months in and find these rules and myths super solid, especially "Don't assume. Ask questions." YEP. You assume your in-laws have high expectations for you to create a high-dollar event? Ask! You assume you need to have a bunch of offerings, like a photo booth, activities for guests, and even kids stuff? Definitely ask! You assume you know all of your partner's expectations? Ask away!! You might be surprised that what you are assuming is not true. Also, if someone gives you an answer you don't agree with, be gracious and determine how important it is to you. If your fiance disagrees with something, definitely listen and seek to compromise. But you don't have to compromise to meet the expectations of all your other guests! That is a lot of pressure, let me tell ya.

[@palmettoboykin658]

Your videos are phenomenal, I watched your wedding registry video, LOVE IT! So helpful.

[@6686Andrea]

I'm finally able to watch these videos bc I'm finally engaged!!

[@mookie8485]

Newly engaged 💍... completely lost.. thats why I'm here.

[@edithl3441]

Congratulations!!

[@liveitupalltheway]

Just sent out invites but will watch every Jamie video ❤️❤️

[@aliciascavo340]

i want to plan for jade's wedding

[@lisanicol2708]

I watched your videos prior to my wedding in 2019, fabulous information. Your hair looks amazing BTW! ❤

[@positivejewlz9186]

not be narcissistic but I am pretty sure you made this video specifically for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH. you're awesome!

[@christimblanton]

Jamie!! I just got engaged last night

[@edithl3441]

Congrats, bride!

[@davidandemilyjohnson9896]

I had a rough budget before not an exact but my venue ended up including so many things that it worked out

[@CheyBudgets]

What's the difference between a wedding shower and a bachelor/ette party?? And is both of these events necessary or not? Also is just a nice dinner out with wedding party instead of a big/medium sort of party acceptable for the bachlor/ette party??

[@FurikoMaru]

If booking the venue had been completely my decision instead of my in-laws', I would probably feel more called-out about the no budget thing. _They're_ the ones who looked at the food package we went with and said 'unacceptable' and immediately upgraded to the platinum package with the jumbo shrimp display at cocktail hour and the filet mignon. And of course _now_ my MIL doesn't want me to be 'frivolous' and spend too much of my own money on unimportant things like a photographer or my dress or the only guest book option I've ever seen in my life that I would actually appreciate as a keepsake and go back to every year on my anniversary (After the Tone, natch). "We're a frugal family" sure, Mrs G. That's why you 'upgraded' to the meals that are more expensive to make and taste actively worse when you cook them in bulk. Also! One thing I would add to this is that you don't know how much some stuff means to _you_ until you have conversations about it. I did not realize that I care a _lot_ about the dress until my fiance was like "We can make it the lowest budget priority, right?" and I burst into tears. I was more shocked at that than he was, I promise you; I am not big on expensive one-time-use items normally. I guess I just internalized it as 'the one time it's okay to let go and splurge' and I never examined that thought.

[@BB-bx4dp]

Will there be follow-up videos about the "best day of your life" and "make everyone happy" myths? I hope so!

[@StephanieHarrison2024]

I been watching your videos for a while now. I ended up having precognition dreams early last couple days of August 2022 all the way through Oct 18th of last year about my Boyfriend going to propose on his birthday Jan 20th. We were supposed to go to the mountains, but plans have gotten thrown away off.. anyhow I found out my dreams were correct... reason being, his Dad got real bad sick and ended up passing away on Dec 7 2022 😢 we had a talk Dec 5th and he told me about his plans, I had been logging the dreams in a notebook so I pulled out my notebook and showed him I already knew, he was shocked in a way, he has not read any of my logs yet we are waiting until after his birthday when he proposes. we were going to go ahead and he was going to propose since we knew his Dad was dieing right in front of of so his Dad could see his son propose, but unfortunately he passed before he was able to. Your videos have been super super helpful though! I have gotten many ideas on how to plan our wedding because of your videos. Keep up the awesome work Jamie!

[@rivertheservicedoodle1730]

I’m not engaged yet but my boyfriend has started asking things like “what kind of ring would you like” he’s apparently waiting to ask my dad and be super old school about it

[@jordangranholm2386]

What percent of your budget should you spend on venue?

[@marlawegrzyn6991]

Just a general question……is azazie a good brand for dresses???

[@ShrimpNation1]

Where is the free guide? I only see the master plan for a fee.

[@jonsay241]

New sub

[@jascherry]

I ask so many questions and beware that maybe some people expect u to know everything as if you got married before 😑 I had to say I never got married so I don't know so that's why I'm asking 😒

[@christineho4977]

I’m gonna cry. My budget is definitely NOT enough to book most venues.

[@mzunderstood9585]

I only counted 4 steps. Did I miss one?
