having a wedding party can create stress
Everything is fun at first!
You celebrate, you toast, you buy your outfits and start the planning process. And then come the opinions.
they will disagree on your chosen date
they will find a reason why you should choose another wedding venue
they will share their disapproval of the attire style and color you choose
they will forget deadlines and delay alterations until the day before
they won’t be able to attend all of the festivities
they won’t like the price tag attached to it all
you won’t like when they ask to bring their Plus one they just met
you will spend a lot of money for gifts, hair and make up, transportation, accommodation..
the bouquets and boutonnieres contribute heavily towards your spending
Is it worth the headache?
the photos are beautiful
you will create amazing memories
it feels wonderful when they make the time to celebrate you
I suggest that the wedding party meets a few times before the wedding to get know each other if they don’t already
only you can decide if it’s worth the headache.. just be prepared that it won’t be all smooth sailing, it’s part of the journey
