BIG NEWS: Announcing Smashing The Glass’s FREE online Jewish Wedding Planning Party!

02/02/2020 by Karen

SAVE THE DATE (and get your free ticket!). Wed Feb 12 is approaching and I’m hosting a great big virtual Jewish Wedding Planning Party for you wherever in the world you live!

I know wedding planning can be overwhelming… but it doesn’t have to be, and my online Jewish Wedding Planning Party is all about helping you cut through the overwhelm and have the wedding you really want, stress-free (or as close as you can get).

This is for you whether you’re planning a Jewish or Interfaith Jewish wedding, and whether you’re using a planner – or not and this is what you can expect:

There’ll be presents, and partying, music and (virtual!) drinks, but most importantly I’ll be teaching you exactly how to:

♥ Maximize your wedding budget (whether it’s $ or $$$$$)

♥ Nail your guest list

♥ Solve your seating plan

♥ Handle family conflicts (to get the result you want without hurting anyone’s feelings)

♥ Let go of #JewishGuilt so you can have the wedding YOU really want (whilst keeping everyone around you happy)

♥ Come up with creative wedding ideas for an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind wedding

♥ Craft your perfect Jewish or Jew-ish wedding ceremony + how to make all your guests feel included (especially your non-Jewish ones).

And I’ll be answering every single one of your questions (however big or small!) 

CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR FREE PLACE AND GET A REMINDER

Karen Cinnamon Smashing The Glass_1224

Happy New Year Jewish and Jew-ish Brides!

01/01/2020 by Karen

Woo hoo — it’s 2020! Perhaps that means you can now say “I’m getting married THIS year?!” (so exciting!). Or maybe you’re looking forward to tying the knot in 2021?

Either way I wanted to let you know that we’ve just released 8 new free places inside our Brides Club for Jewish and Jew-ish brides… WOO HOO!

Karen Cinnamon Smashing The Glass_1224 Smashing The Glass’ Brides Club

Inside our Brides Club we minimize wedstress and overwhelm, with step-by-step guides, handpicked wedding vendor discounts, Jewish wedding action plans, a free smash glass pouch, Jewish wedding checklists and templates, and SO much more! 

You can find out more and grab your free place here.

You’re engaged… and I get it:

  • You want to be different but fulfil certain expectations.
  • You want to be cost efficient without seeming to scrimp.
  • You want to involve friends and family without causing them a ton of work and stress.
  • You want to throw an amazing party that will appeal to quite a disparate group of people… and across the generations.

I know most of these pressures apply to ALL weddings but there are extra levels of pressure for Jewish weddings — how much of the traditional stuff do you do? How do you cater for kosher guests? The chuppah, the ketubah, the glass, kippot, the rituals, the rabbi…

And then there’s the party itself. How do you ensure it’s one to remember without losing your mind in the process of planning it all? 

That’s why I set up my Brides Club and I can’t wait to see you in there.
