My friend is copying parts of my wedding!

1. NOTHING in the wedding world is original. She probably has the same Pins as you on Pinterest

2. There really AREN'T that many different wedding website layouts/backgrounds

3. The Welcome is a bit weird, depending on what it says....how generic is it?

4. STOP telling her your wedding details

5. Her wedding still will be different than yours

6. When it comes down to it, in general, there aren't that many different cuts/styles/colors for wedding dresses. Its the details on the dresses that make them different.

Let me guess, white, strapless wedding dress? The horror to think someone else would do that. What's your wedding website, slash why don't you just change your welcome message now?

HURT is a little much. ANNOYED makes sense.

Don't tell this woman anything else about your wedding, or she may copy it precisely, and then since her wedding is first, yours will end up a re-run.

In the long run the wedding is just the day. And if you want to get competitive, the game is marriage.

Don't sweat it, especially if your wedding is before hers. If it makes you feel better, one of my BM's went out and bought the exact same dress as me after I bought mine (she got engaged a month after me). She then calls to ask me after the fact to ask me if I'm upset...WTF??

I had the same problem with a friend of mine, I had been planning for nearly two years and then she got engaged and set her wedding for a couple of months before mine. Most of the time when we talked about vendors, venues, and ideas I didn't mind if she copied some because honestly I wanted some of her vendors too but with different ideas. She absolutely crossed the line when she went out and bought the EXACT SAME DRESS as mine. I later told her how upset it made me especially since she knew that was my dress and I had been so shocked that I told my FH that she had bought the same dress (he doesn't know what it is or looks like though) so obviously he couldn't attend the wedding then with me. A couple of weeks ago she asks if I'm still upset and then also says that she may not invite us after all due to "budget reasons" when I know her parents are paying for most of it. Needless to say we're not really friends anymore. I hope things go well for you on your wedding and your friends but there's always going to be that line that if they cross that's just it, done, over with.

Will you have a lot of the same guests? That being said, its definitely annoying. I would avoid sharing wedding details with her. also, it wouldn't hurt to call her on it, just keep it light-hearted and not accusatory - Hey Susy, I looked at your website and that welcome message is pretty awesome! Wink wink. Just calling her on it might make her lay off a bit.

You should fight her. The winner gets first choice on theme.

View Quoted Comment Omg I am experiencing a similar issue. My cousin says she is happy for me, but doesn’t show it. Shes only known her fiancé for 4 months and she announced her engagement shortly after I announced my wedding date and chose her day based on numbers, which everyone who knows me I have “a number thing” lol Then my MOH reached out in a group text to the bridesmaids about a good day or details about planning a dinner/get together before my wedding in May, and she never responded but started her own group text to ppl in her wedding about getting together to make centerpieces. Then I was getting in touch about her dress and that I was buying them and the color/shade which is desert coral, and she then said she already had hers chosen and it was sage green… well I’m in the wedding don’t you think you should have told me??! Then she saw I got my wedding dress at David’s Bridal and got hers two weeks after i got mine and make it a point to send me a text with the same picture style with the heart 🤦‍♀️
Honestly everything doesn’t bother me except her trying to base things off numbers and synchronicity which is clearly part of my life and testimony, which she will never understand the depth of meaning that the way I see numbers and synchronicities around me, no matter where I am, has to me. It’s something kind of personal and she’s just clearly trying to follow me but it’s become a lot and annoying.
