Keep or Skip: Something old, new, borrowed, blue?

I'm all for tradition, so this is a keep for me!
My something new is my ring/wedding dress.
My something old is ribbon from my parents wedding (30+ years ago).

My something borrowed is my mom's/Oma's jewelry.

My something blue is my garter.

My mum wants me to go with something borrowed but I’m sticking with something new & blue is actually my theme

I could go either way. It will depend on my mother and/or gramma.

I was thinking of asking them if they would like to see me have something I can borrow, or if they want to give me something blue, that's meaningful to them.

Otherwise, I'll just skip it.

I like this tradition. My mom seems to be really into it which is actually stressing me out a bit. She has her heart set on a piece of her dress or veil being my something old and I'm not sure how to incorporate it.

Definitely keeping this tradition.

I will definitely be doing this for our wedding. It's the one tradition that means a lot to me.

Will probably keep it. I'm halfway there so might as well.

I am skipping this one. Although my engagement ring has a sapphire, so I will have something blue.

Definitely keeping this one. Finding the something blue is the toughest one for me though.

Im so excited to do this! I've always dreamt about it since I was a little girl haha I absolutely will NOT be skipping this old tradition Love it

Definitely skipping.

I think this will be a Skip. might change our minds once we get closer to the date though.

We're sticking to it because its a sentimental tradition. I've got the old, new, and blue figured out but still have to figure out the borrowed.

I was thinking is skipping this tradition but we sent our save the dates today and my FSIL just offered me one of their mother’s handkerchief’s which is a BFF bc my FH’s parents are deceased AND his grandmother made the handkerchief’s.

I’m touched and this makes the planning process much more real/sentimental to me (I’ve been mostly pragmatic so far in the planning).

This is a keep - for sure. Our whole wedding will be about family and friends. Celebrating the various traditions will be a big part of that!

I love Kathleen's idea!! What a great way to involve people!!

Keeping this, we are skipping A LOT of traditions but I have always enjoyed this one.

I love this tradition so I would love to but I'm going to leave it up to my wedding party and mom's to do this. I don't really want to ask

I'm all for tradition so I'll be doing it.
My something new is my ring/wedding dress.
My something old and borrowed is my mom's pearl necklace and earrings.
My something blue is my garter.

I have my something old and blue. I also will be putting a coin in my shoe

Following it somewhat, having the blue the borrowed and new not sure on old

View quoted message Ohh I would love that! Thanks so much!

View quoted message I'm totally okay with that! I think it's important to recognize the people who are super important to you, especially if you can't have a bunch of people in the wedding party, etc. I created a RSVP card sized design to print (front and back) asking them to be my Something Blue. Feel free to message me if you want jpegs of them!

Wow! This is a beautiful idea, I absolutley love it! It made me well up a little bit. I may have to steal this idea...

Skipping this because I'm not too traditional.

Keep! I am however doing “something blue” a bit different. I’m sending a card in the invite to certain important women in my life (since they can’t all be bridesmaids, etc) like my aunt, cousins and my best friends Mum. I’m asking them to wear blue to my wedding and act as my something blue to include them in a special way and follow the something old, something new in a new way

Skip, this has never been a traditional that I really liked. Just not important to me or my family.

Itll prob depend on how important it is to my mama.

I think I'm skipping this.

Definitely keeping! Not sure how I’ll be doing it, but I like the idea. It’s fun.
