My friend is copying parts of my wedding!

Imitation is the highest form of flattery?

That is annoying but nothing you can really do. Just don't go over the actual wedding details with her. Its only a website and most people don't even go on and I'm sure they know you had yours first.

After how many weddings happen and get posted online they all look the same or sound the same in some bits. Don't let it get to you. Or confront her and get your feelings out.

I'm sure people will tell you to be the bigger person blah blah blah but I would be annoyed. I don't blame you for feeling hurt, totally valid feelings IMHO. I just wouldn't share any more details with her.

Like Melissa said, definitely don't give her any details

It's annoying, but remember that your day won't be any less special because of what she's doing!

Hah, I would sooo call her out on this. Privately, of course. But I would make mention that I noticed. Warning: beware of whatever response you might get though, lol. I'm not saying it's the best course of action, but I know I wouldn't be able to help myself.

Well you can get a preview of what yours may look like........ Still annoying. I would say something to her.

We had the same situation. Our friends got engaged two months after us, and they're not getting married until six months after we do. They hurried up to get there engagement pictures done before us so they could take all the shot to we wanted to do. She's completely copied all my style and decor. I've just stop telling her things.

ETA: luckily people will know she is the copycat, not me.

WELLL, thats why I always put (c) when it comes to all my blogging/wording online. At least you can throw that at her, or report her to the site's admin for copyright rights. This only applies to something that is word for word, though. Then again, that's just me, and because I've dealt with it a lot (especially with art) over the internet for years.

I would recommend obviously not telling her anymore details than you already have. If you've told her anything she might want to copy (i.e. a unique cake topper, surprise entertainment at the reception, whatever) you might want to make a backup plan in case you go to her wedding and she has stolen your idea! You wouldn't want it to look like you are the copycat!

That is insane. On one hand, its small and petty, yes. It is also rude and ridiculous on her part! That is not a friend move. My soon-to-be SIL did almost the same thing! We have been engaged for almost 2 years. She got engaged in October of last year. We sent out our Save the Dates first and for 6/5/2015. She originally booked hers for 5/25/2015!!!! She ended up getting married last month but still! Why so close to ours? I feel your pain.

@ally you actually don't even need the c to claim copyright. All written work is intellectual property and protected by copyright. I knew my copyright law classes would come in handy one day!!!

That's annoying!! My advice to you is do not tell her the details of your wedding. She can't copy what she doesn't know.

Maybe she lacks creativity, and just liked your stuff so much, she felt she needed to copy you so she could have an awesome wedding too...LOL. In all seriousness, though, you might want to keep any details that you don't want her to copy, to yourself, if possible. Otherwise, ask her if there's anything you can do to help her plan, and subtly suggest things that she'll love that aren't already going to be in your wedding.

Not wedding but a friend on fb i don't really talk to anymore copied my same cover photo 2 days after i posted it. don't let it bother you and just like there said don't share anymore with her

I would ask her why she felt the need to steal your welcome message. Other than that just don't share anything with her anymore.

I would say something to her. I know some people would say dont say anything or let it go. But if you do not say something, she really seriously thinks its ok to do because you havent said anything. You also not saying anything will not hurt her feelings but will continue to hurt your own feelings. I would be irritated about the situation and you have every right to be. If you decide to call her out on it try to talk to her in a calm manner. I say this because maybe she needs help with her wedding but she doesn't know how to properly communicate this. I would not share any of my wedding details to her anymore.

I would be annoyed too! Unfortunately, there's really nothing you can do. You can talk to her, but she'll probably just come up with some crappy reason.

I'm annoyed with my ex best friend (we still talk here and there) that got engaged just two months ago and set her date a month before mine and asked my matron of honor to be hers as well. She was always competing with me (one of the many reasons were not bffs anymore), so I have a feeling this is her way of getting married before me, but her wedding sounds like a disaster...literally. I feel immature for it to bother me, but it does. I just try not to let it get to me. My matron actually told me she tried to step down and told her she is to busy and won't be able to attend any of pre-wedding festivities, so she rather just be a BM and have this one BM (who the bride has known for far longer than the MOH- who is actually my cousin so that's how they even know each other) be MOH, yet the bride still insisted she wants her as MOH. It's just a weird story.

I get annoyed just thinking about it. Lol. Ugh. Some girls are just out there.

The competitive friends are so annoying, stick with your plans & don't let her steal your joy or your shine for your upcoming special day.
