Dear Star, My fiance and I just got engaged and I started to plan the big day. However, he’s not as involved in the planning as I’d hoped he’d be. His attitude isn’t negative, but he often says that I’m better at planning than he is and he wouldn’t even know how to be helpful. How do I make sure …

Dear Star, My best friend and Maid of Honor had the best idea recently! She told me that vendors just tack on ridiculous fees to anything wedding related. If I talk to someone, I should talk to them without mentioning that the event we’re having is a wedding. This will help us keep costs down and prevent us from getting …

Dear Star, I got engaged a few months ago and couldn’t be more excited to be marrying the man who loves me like no one else can!

People tell me I’m good at it, too. But is that enough for me to think about becoming a professional? How do I know if event planning is right …

Dear Star, I want to throw a huge birthday bash for my mom’s 60th birthday. But I don’t know where to start! Everything seems so overwhelming. Instead of planning I’ve been procrastinating and avoiding the subject everytime I see a family member.  Where do I start? How do I even begin to plan for the extravagant bash I want to …
