    Ep. 45: We're Ditching These Wedding Traditions...or Should We?

    Let’s talk traditions, the ones we love, the ones we question, and the ones we might be ready to retire. In today’s episode, we’re diving into all those classic wedding traditions: from thank-you cards and gift etiquette to cutting the cake and tossing the garter or bouquet. We’re unpacking which traditions still make sense today and which ones might just be running on autopilot. We're chatting:  Do you really need a wedding cake? Are handwritten thank-you cards still non-negotiable? How do you navigate gifts as a couple that already has everything? And which traditions actually make the day more meaningful?   Whether you’re a traditionalist, a rule-breaker, or somewhere in between, this episode is your permission slip to do things your way. Tune in for our honest takes, laughter, and maybe a few spicy opinions along the way.   ----   Website: https://justanotherbizpodcast.com/  Join Us on Substack for More Content: https://justanotherbizpodcast.substack.com/  Instagram for the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/justanotherbizpodcast  Instagram for Kari: https://www.instagram.com/featheredarrowstudio/  Instagram for Gabby : https://www.instagram.com/causewecanevents

We have lots of thoughts about the engagement, the vendors we think are involved, what this means for the wedding industry, what trends she might set, is this going to be private or public and so much more! We may or may not go off on some crazy tangents and talk about Taylor hiring us for her wedding. One can dream, right? Tune in, buckle up for some unfiltered thoughts and let us know what you think.

    Ep. 40: Why All Wedding Planners are Ready to Quit

    Hey Jabbers! In today's minisode, we’re spilling the tea on a side of the wedding industry no one talks about, burnout and how it might be driving wedding planners to rethink their career path. We’re diving into what happens when planners and vendors get pushed past their limits, why boundaries are extremely important, and the difference between delivering an incredible client experience and being treated like a personal assistant. From clear communication to knowing when going above and beyond is worth it (and when it’s not), this is a must-listen for anyone in the wedding world and for couples who want to keep their vendors happy, motivated, and in love with their work. We're all happier when we have boundaries in place and we continue to love what we do. We hope you enjoy this episode and we'll see ya next time, Jabbers!    ---- JAB Info:  Website: https://justanotherbizpodcast.com/  Join Us on Substack for More Content: https://justanotherbizpodcast.substack.com/  Instagram for the Pod: https://www.instagram.com/justanotherbizpodcast  Instagram for Kari: https://www.instagram.com/featheredarrowstudio/  Instagram for Gabby : https://www.instagram.com/causewecanevents
