“With this carefully curated wedding planning kit, you will learn how to create a meaningful wedding that puts your love story front and center,” says Khrystalle. “Along the way, you will also learn how to navigate life’s tough decisions with your sweetheart, all while making beautiful memories together.”

3. Try something new

Studies show that couples who regularly try new things have happier relationships. And why wouldn’t they? The more you invest in fun and friendship with your partner, the less of a chance you stand of falling into a rut. So take a cooking class, go skydiving, learn an instrument together. Write down all of your ideas on little bits of paper and put them in a fishbowl. Pick one at random when you’re feeling blah or just need a break from planning!

4. Create boundaries

Ok, I admit, this one is not as fun – but man is it worth it! Boundaries — with each other AND with family and friends — are key to keeping the romance aflame while in the throes of wedding planning. Establish some guidelines with each other about how and when to discuss details. Practice your talking points as you field those inevitable questions from family and friends. That ‘ol “When’s the wedding?” question used to give me heaps of anxiety, but luckily my partner and I have practiced how to answer with grace and discretion.

7. Communication

Khrystalle says, “Learning how to communicate as a couple is far different than communicating with a friend, parent, or co-worker. Planning a wedding together allows you the perfect opportunity to learn how to create a safe space for each of you to better express your thoughts and feelings. Clearly communicating what you need and want from your partner is essential to a happy marriage. The more you practice this skill, the better you will become.”

8. Collaboration

Khrystalle says. “It’s easy to let one partner make all of the wedding decisions, but how you go about planning your wedding will inherently set the tone for your future together. Working side-by-side to incorporate elements of each of you is a great way to start learning how to harmoniously blend your lives and individual interests.”
