Around this time of year, everyone is all about those fun social media “holidays” like #SoberOctober & #NoShaveNovember. And that got us thinking, “What can we start that will not only be a fun “holiday” for our future brides and grooms, but also helps them shrink that daunting Wedding Plan To Do Checklist?
Say hello to #NoStressNovember!
