Planning: You are bound to piss off someone

Twice this weekend I found myself telling two seperate brides the exact same thing, "You are bound to piss off someone while planning your wedding". It isn't becuase you are a mean (insert word the rhymes with itch HERE). It's becuase friends, family and people have a set of expections from your wedding that is most likely different from yours.

• You can't invite EVERYONE
• You can't buy EVERYTHING
• You probably won't buy the dress someone wanted you to wear
• You are not going to serve the food that everybody wanted to eat that day
• Someone will want you to play hip hop when all you want to hear is RnB during the last half hour of the wedding

...and guess what, it's okay. Whose wedding is this anyway? Im sorry I thought it was yours. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying to completely ignore your guests and don't consider them at all. Afterall, you are creating an experience for them as well. What I AM saying is, utimately you have to make the best decision that you know how to make and please don't loose sleep over the fact that 1 guest/person will be pissed off becuase you did something that they may not approve of. *oops my bad*...and now we continue.

So while you are there on a tight budget mulling over if you should invite kids, friends of friends, colleagues that you don't speak to but they are in the same office even though you can't stand them... just say to yourself " what would Jesus do". WAIT, no don't say that to yourself... look in your purse and say hmmmmmmmm now how far am I willing to make this dollar stretch?

Happy Planning
