169: What a Love Party Really Is (And How to Plan One You’ll Actually Enjoy) with Amy Shack Egan

Can you guess what a space disco in a Texas ghost town, and a punk rock concert with a merchandise table, have in common with a traditional wedding? 

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with New York–based founder, author and self-confessed “anti-wedding planner” Amy Shack Egan, the woman behind Modern Rebel, the Love Party movement, and the day-of coordination marketplace, Cheersy. We dive into what a Love Party actually is, how to design a wedding that feels like “you” without forgetting your guests, and why wedding planning can be the ultimate team sport for your relationship.

Amy also shares how hundreds of real couples have rewritten the rules of their weddings, and how she’s bottled a decade of experience into her new book, The Rebel Wedding Planning Guide: Rewrite the Rules and Celebrate Your Love, out February 10.

If you’re feeling “meh” about planning a cookie-cutter wedding, or you secretly wish someone would give you permission to do things differently, this conversation is going to light you up.
