How much is too much?

Renee, on March 6, 2018 at 21:46 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 21
I have a question ladies! How much is too much wedding talk? Lately I feel like I just eat, drink and sleep wedding! I'm about 7 months out which is the usual crunch time for booking vendors. I have a few important ones to go and I find myself just messaging my planner all day or talking to my MOH, mom, fiance everyone about wedding details! I've been trying to hammer things out early so that I could enjoy spring and summer free of wedding talks. So, is it just me? How often have you talked about the wedding? Weekly? Every other day? Hourly? Lol

    I try to make sure it’s not the only thing I talk about. A few of my super close friends got engaged so we all talk wedding together so this way we don’t annoy our other friends. I just think if tables were turned I wouldn’t want to hear only wedding talk.

    I talked about it a lot because we had to plan everything pretty quickly as we were only engaged for 9 months. It seems that wedding talk ebbs and flows. I don't think my mu or husband ever got annoyed with me but there were times where I told my husband that I wasn't allowed to talk about the wedding so that I could decompress a bit.

    It was exciting time for sure. I did lots of talking and exchanging information with few colleagues who are also planning their weddings this year and next. But after couple of months, the talk toning down a bit. I think that's natural, cause in the beginning there are many questions, options and vendors to choose from. But once they are booked and you know exactly what you want, the conversation is scaling down. I didn't talk much bout the details wedding planning and vendors with my Fiance cause he leaves all to me to manage, which I like it that way.

    I'm sure my FH is sick of hearing about the wedding, as is my mom as I talk to them about it a lot. I have a hard time switching off as I really enjoy planning things.

    However, almost all my stuff is booked/sorted so its just crossing the Ts and doting the is.


    Just make sure you're paying attention to how people are reacting to you talking about it!

    I live in a pretty remote location, and not near any family, so I found myself talking about it only when I'm home (Christmas and some of the summer). The rest of the time, I've only talked about it when someone brings it up, and otherwise, I just bother my fiance about it.

    I realize I am in a unique situation, otherwise I think I would talk about it more!

    I feel like we were talking wedding a lot at that time too. It sort of died down for a few months after that until just recently as we have been making a lot of appointments to meet with our vendors about different things. We are 3 months out. I'm not sure if you ever really stop talking wedding while planning lol at least that's how it seems to me.

    I do the same thing! Most of my friends are single/have their own lives that I don’t want to exhaust them. That’s why I come here on the daily lol

    Well here in the community there's no such thing as too much wedding talk!! Smiley tongue Smiley shame

    I definitely used the community to satisfy my wedding-obsessed urges and limit how much I was bugging others!

    Oh Good! I'm not the only one! My Wedding is 8 months out and all I do is talk about it. I text my MOH all day long it seems and my Finance is tired of hearing about it! I think I have most of the decor decided on.... but I'm sure I forgot something!

    Honestly, all these responses have been great! I was beginning to feel crazy but as many of you ladies said, this is a big life event and you will be excited to talk about it! I will however try my best to keep it between my planner and I because I can also see how it may begin to annoy others when it's all you talk about lol I can't help it!

    I've got 4 months today til I get married and I'm finding myself in the same boat as you. As you get closer and closer to the wedding I don't think there is anyway to reframe from wedding talk, there's always going to be something popping up in your head. Or at least that's how I'm finding it

    I try to be mindful of limiting wedding talk but also finding a balance of sharing things with my wedding party. I should probably be a bit more open, but I don't want to annoy anyone. We recently decided to stop discussing wedding details with certain family members because they only had negative things to say, things have been a lot less stressful since making that change 😐😆

    I talk wedding almost every day. Wedding planning is only temporarily and it’s an exciting time so talk as much as you want! But, if you notice a glazed expression on friends or family’s faces, they may be wedding-talked out! There are a couple friends I am waiting for them to ask how it’s going because they are not as interested as me in talking about it (which is understandable)

    I was just saying to my massage therapist today how I feel like I’m wedding obsessed! Lol I just can’t help it there’s so much to do and so many details to work out. I talk about it with my fiancé all the time sometimes daily and my MOH lots as well. I find I go hard with wedding planning for a few days or longer and then take some time off and repeat. I’m 5 months out. I feel like it’s just going to be like this until the wedding day lol 😅

    We still have a year and 3 months to go so we aren't in a planning rush at the moment. As well we have a few big things happening in our life, we are moving across the country next week. So we haven't had much wedding talk time, but the second someone asks me something about the wedding I can't shut up. I don't care how much people mention their wedding and talk about it because it's super exciting and we have every right to go on non stop about it!

    With groom's side almost weekly, my side never (they don't seem to care)

    Friends/co-workers it's every now and again. I find it depends on the person, for those you don't want to invite I would avoid wedding talk completely.

    Yeah I bring it up all the time. I’m currently trying to be a bit mindful of it, limit it a bit but I just keep telling people I’m getting married or some how work it into the conversation. It’s kind of like a sickness but I figure, only happening once so I will enjoy it and the spotlight.

    I’m literally talking about my wedding, my friends wedding, and wedding stuff in general all the time. Can’t help it. I try to limit it to those who are involved/interested in it though as to not annoy my friends lol.

    It’s a major life event so it’s okay to be excited and want to talk about it all the time!
