Need to vent

Theres a ton you can do to cut wedding costs and still have a nice wedding. Don’t invite every single person you know or talk to occasionally. Keep ur guest list smaller and then get married off season or on a fri or sun those dates are almost half price! My friend got married in January and she spent about 10 k on her wedding and it was beautiful and she did open bar at her venue!

View quoted message I need to learn from you too. Some bridesmaids are very opinionated and I have trouble standing firm! Am I the only one that wants a bridal shower based on savory foods (envision hot dogs, poutine, food crawl) and not a sweets table?? But they feel it’s so crucial 😭 but i don’t get to plan my own shower so I feel the need to go around to other bridesmaids and have them go with my idea 😂

I have honestly learned to tune people out. except my FH.

what I recommend is. step back. take a deep breath. take a break from planning during the month of December if you can.

my fav answer is "well that's not what we want"

I have no shame in getting to the point. haha

Ah that sucks! Are these people paying for the wedding? If not, their opinions are simply that. I find you do learn to tune it out eventually and tell people you'll "think about it". For me, "I'll think about it" is my nice way of saying "I don't like your suggestion" lol.

Ugh people! After a year of being engaged, I’ve learned how to tell people that I’ll think about their suggestion... then I never speak of it again lol. I’ve had some bizarre suggestions on how to save money and whatnot that really didn’t fly with me.

Good luck to you ❤️

Easy!! When people offer their 2 cents or more just say "thanks!! We'll think about that!" It puts the focus of you two making the decision and kind of dismisses the suggestion without being too rude hahah!
