Dealing with Wedding Advice

People love weddings! They also love giving their opinions on weddings. Every couple getting married knows that unsolicited advice comes with the territory.

The first thing to do is consider the source. Sometimes the advice might be good, especially if it comes from someone who is in the wedding business. But beware of anyone telling you that you “must” do something because everyone else is doing it. After all, isn’t the point to have a wedding that is uniquely your own?

Sometimes you receive advice from a person that you don’t dare offend, like your future mother-in-law. If the suggestion is one that you disagree with, you must politely change the subject instead of starting an argument. Try something like, “Hmm…that’s interesting. Say, how is your search for a rehearsal dinner dress going?”. Most people love to talk about themselves, so this tactic usually works quite well!

Just remember, your family and friends only give you advice because they care about you and want your wedding to be perfect. In the end though, it is up to the bride and groom to decide what will make their wedding a dream come true.
