Plan Style Do - The Wedding Podcast

We're at episode 50 (50!) of the Plan.Style.Do podcast and I'm tackling one of the questions I'm getting asked more and more frequently by couples - ‘Do we need to send hardcopy paper wedding invitations, or can we opt for digital invitations for our guests instead?'In this episode I'm running you through the pros and the cons of hardcopy wedding invitations versus digital invitations so you can choose the right option for you, your budget, your guests and your style of wedding.

So how can you do this without it being a huge stress on your wedding day? In this episode I'm sharing 5 practical ways to minimise fuss around double vaccination status on your wedding.Don't forget to follow Jordan Weaver Events on Instagram for daily wedding planning advice and inspo!
