Personalized Denim Jacket

Michelle, on November 2, 2021 at 8:54 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 2 7
Okay I need y’all to talk some sense into me. My wedding is next Friday and I have convinced myself I need a denim jacket with my new last name on it (haven’t bought one yet). I think they look cute but I know I wouldn’t wear it out after the wedding. I have other personalized item (cake topper, welcome sign, vow books, dress hanger, etc.) but feel like I’m missing out on something if I don’t have something wearable that’s personalized. I know this sounds crazy. Anyone else relate? Or tell me I’m overthinking things per usual?

    If you truly want it, go for it. However, as you said, you aren't going to wear it again. You don't need to be decked out in things saying your new last name. Plus, do you really want to cover up your pretty dress with a denim jacket?

    I am of the mindset that you only get married once, so why not go all out?! If you want the adorable denim jacket, go for it!

    Although I completely understand the desire to have some cute personalised things, from personal experience, I feel like you mightn't get it in time, and if you already know you wouldn't wear it again, then there might be no point. If you were to wear it again, I think my opinion would be different. But in the abstract - I get it! I bought a wrap and had my new initials embroidered on it, so I totally get the urge!

    I guess as well nowadays, there are a whole lot of things to think about in terms of potential risks of wearing your last name for the world to see, but I don't know... that might be being a bit paranoid.

    I ended up getting a denim jacket last minute for my wedding because I saw it on IG n thought it was cute lol No time to get it personalized. I only wore it at the end for my sparkler send off. Haven't seen the pictures yet but I'm sure it will look cute. I do plan on wearing it again but feel like it it was personalized I wouldn't.

    How about one that says Just Married? Then you could sell it afterwards!

    Honestly, I feel like denim jackets are having a moment (a cute moment, but a moment nonetheless), but that in a few years you'd look at the photos and ask why you did that - because it will look dated - but that's just me. Aside from that, if you wouldn't wear it again, then why spend the money. Additionally, I agree with Rosie about the advisability of wearing your last name.

    I made myself one for my wedding and I loved it. I wore it for my rehearsal dinner and took some pictures day of my wedding.
