What's some of the worst/weirdest suggestions you've been given regarding wedding planning?

- Mine would be FH thinking his groomsmen didn't need gifts (luckily I talked him into giving them something!)

- FH didn't want to feed anyone at our rehearsal dinner and said, instead of providing drinks, they could use the water fountain (I told him we had to provide a meal and drinks)

- My mom suggesting a potluck (food safety issues there so I shut that down really fast!)

    Football hats sounds like something my FH would consider! YMCA reminds me of summer camp because we danced to it nonstop every year. And it seems some of your family is just addicted to fish or something Smiley laugh

    Karaoke and dance battles at a wedding would be a first for me, that's for sure!

    Your guests are definitely going to be busy! That would have been a lot of people for just the rehearsal dinner

    She is very sweet but often gets stuck in her own needs and wants. She was actually sending my stylist to find dress info for her to wear to my wedding. It was pretty bad and I cried on my FW's shoulder when I got home.

    Good for you! I don't understand why FH's sister was trying to dictate the guest list

    Yeah, she at least got the color right. I’m just in shock. A SHARPIE, mom? My handwriting looks like chickenscratch and she knows this. Then she suggested a stencil!
    So we’re at $20-25 to DIY or $4 to buy them and she still thinks this is a great idea. 😤

    I think some people tend to forget that DIY isn’t ALWAYS cheaper.

    The thing is she knows buying it is cheaper and I have a bunch of DIY to finish up already. She discouraged me from a ton of projects but now is completely fixated on this one! I can’t even wrap my head around this one lol

    I had a little bit of too much input from my mom at some points, but felt it difficult to say no since she paid. Thankfully, the wedding was perfect.

    My, former, MOH/best friend didn’t like the THREE, yes ladies and gents 3, colour choices she had for her gown & informed me she would wear Dark green, navy or- get this: IVORY! I said “NO WAY! I am the bride here, Not you! The choices are: Chianti, Quartz or Wine. Has to be elegant and long and not completely sparkly.” And her reply “You F’ing Bridezilla! S c r e w you I’ll just buy whatever is cheapest regardless of how it looks.” To which I informed her that “Was childish and petty and she could come as a guest( but not her jerk of a husband, who is behind 95% of our issues since she recently married him) but I no longer wanted her in the wedding.”

    The woman at the 1st place I went to to try on dresses was very nice but kept telling me I should ware long white gloves with my gown. I didn't want them but she kept saying I should get them. Luckily, she didn't have any!
