You may have heard of bridal emergency kits, but have you truly looked into them? No matter if you are the couple to get married, a wedding party member, a family, or a friend, a bridal emergency kit should be a priority when it comes to wedding planning? Why? Because as Murphy's law says, if something can go wrong, it will. You don't want to be caught off guard. What if your dress gets a small hole in it? What if it's 100 million degrees outside? God forbid you forget deodorant! An emergency kit can be the difference-maker of a smooth wedding day and a stressful (or stinky) one.  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok @aweddingpodcast www.facebook.com/aweddingpodcast www.instagram.com/aweddingpodcast www.tiktok.com/@aweddingpodcast Be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wedding-podcast-with-katie-and-steffen/id1454692842 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aweddingpodcast/support

We know what you might be thinking, no way someone is asking this. Surprisingly, questions like this aren't that rare. Wedding traditions have been drilled in our heads so much that we almost feel like we are breaking some sort of rule if we do something out of order or whatever. Short answer is, it's your wedding day, do what you want, but we dive in deeper in this episode into this question and more.  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @aweddingpodcast www.facebook.com/aweddingpodcast www.instagram.com/aweddingpodcast Be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wedding-podcast-with-katie-and-steffen/id1454692842 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aweddingpodcast/support

Do you know the difference between these setups? Should it matter to you? We think so! This was originally supposed to be a Q&A episode but as we discussed this topic prior to recording, we knew this was going to be the debate of the century! No exaggeration either. ;) What table setup should you do? Are there pros and cons of each setup? We go over all that and more in this episode.

We did an episode recently on tipping wedding vendors and we received a ton of questions on how much to tip specific vendors, so in this episode, we are starting servers and bartenders. How much should you tip them? Should you tip them? Is there a time when to not tip them? We go over these questions and more!

Let us be clear, we are simply providing answers to what cocktail hour should look like. If you prefer to do it differently, great! You do you. We are huge supporters of this. However, if you want to know maybe what proper etiquette looks like, then we are here to help you. We just want to be sure to throw out this disclaimer before we get canceled again. ;)  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @aweddingpodcast www.facebook.com/aweddingpodcast www.instagram.com/aweddingpodcast Be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wedding-podcast-with-katie-and-steffen/id1454692842 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aweddingpodcast/support

In today's off-topic discussion we are talking about the shows we are watching. Last year, let's be honest, we probably all binged more than we would like to admit. Now that things are starting to get back to normal and the busyness of life kicks in, we are probably finding ourselves too busy for TV or maybe our priorities changed a little bit and we just aren't consuming as much. We find ourselves consuming less but we still have a couple of shows we are watching and we are pretty excited to talk about them!  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @aweddingpodcast www.facebook.com/aweddingpodcast www.instagram.com/aweddingpodcast Be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wedding-podcast-with-katie-and-steffen/id1454692842 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aweddingpodcast/support

What is the purpose of a wedding party? Are they there simply to have a good time and celebrate with you? If so, what's the difference then between the wedding party and your wedding guests? Shouldn't the wedding party have something that sets them apart aside from just the way they dress? If so, what is it?  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @aweddingpodcast www.facebook.com/aweddingpodcast www.instagram.com/aweddingpodcast Be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wedding-podcast-with-katie-and-steffen/id1454692842 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aweddingpodcast/support

You just got an invite to a wedding, can you bring a plus one? In this episode, we talk about how to know when it's okay if you can bring a plus one or not. We also go over if you should ever ask the couple if it's okay if you bring a plus one. Like many of our conversations lately, we are sticking with some pretty controversial topics of discussion!

Oh man, are we becoming those podcasters where we just talk about controversial things? We promise we aren't doing this on purpose. Honestly, we are just researching and listening to what couples are currently talking about and this is one such topic that many have asked about. Storytime, you were close friends in grade school but haven't talked since then, but you remain pretty close on social media. You post your engagement announcement and your friend from grade school comments how excited they are for you and can't wait to celebrate with you. Uh oh... you didn't intend on inviting this person. How do you handle the situation? We talk about this and more in today's episode.  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @aweddingpodcast www.facebook.com/aweddingpodcast www.instagram.com/aweddingpodcast Be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wedding-podcast-with-katie-and-steffen/id1454692842 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aweddingpodcast/support

Well, not really, but in the podcast world, you can be whatever you want, am I right? In this Off-Topic episode, Steffen talks about his experience gardening and the methods he uses. In these crazy times, growing your own food is booming right now! So much so, finding heirloom GMO-free vegetable seeds is becoming harder and harder to come by as they sell out so quickly! How can you make sure to grow your own food and not break your back doing it?

Last year affected a lot of weddings. Plans changed, dates were canceled, event centers shut down, some even began to value things a little differently and that's what happened to one couple. They planned their wedding for 2020 and after some time of covid shutdown, their priorities changed. They went ahead with getting married, but in a different way, but now they are stuck with their deposits that secured their larger wedding event. What would you do? Would you proceed with the event even though you're already married? Or would you do what this couple did and go to TikTok to try and sell your wedding?  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @aweddingpodcast www.facebook.com/aweddingpodcast www.instagram.com/aweddingpodcast Be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wedding-podcast-with-katie-and-steffen/id1454692842 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aweddingpodcast/support

It's the age-old question, right? How much should I spend on a wedding gift? Okay, maybe it's not an age-old question, but I'm sure you've thought it before. Does it matter your relationship with the couple? Can you spend too little or too much? In this episode, we take a deep dive into talking about money, everyone's favorite topic. What do you think?

We aren't going to lie, this episode feels a bit awkward. Who enjoys talking about money? Especially tipping. However, it's a question that is asked frequently. Is tipping wedding vendors normal? If so how much. While we don't get into the specifics of how much with each vendor in this episode, rest assured, we will break down how much to tip each vendor in future episodes. In today's episode, we simply answer the question of whether or not you should tip your wedding vendors.  Follow us on Facebook and Instagram @aweddingpodcast www.facebook.com/aweddingpodcast www.instagram.com/aweddingpodcast Be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-wedding-podcast-with-katie-and-steffen/id1454692842 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aweddingpodcast/support

Katie recently traveled to Miami and without warning her flight got canceled and the soonest they could get her on a flight home was three days later, but the story doesn't end there. But let's be honest, stranded in Miami for 3 days?
