Am i the only one?

Becca, on May 27, 2019 at 11:54 PM Posted in Planning 0 19
Am I the only one that has a hard time saying no to wedding stuff?!? I keep telling myself I'm not gonna buy anything more but then I see something and think "oh that will look cute on the card table next to the other decoration that I bought on impulse!" *buys expensive thing that no one will probably even notice"

My wallet is really mad at me right now 😭😭😭

    Haha that's my current struggle. I'm in the process of shopping for gifts for my bridesmaids and everytime I say I'm done, I keep going "oh they would also love this!!" I have 7 girls in my party, so its getting expensive lol

    Nope. Thank goodness I am a minimalist and like clean, organized decor. Lol!! But I also already have the vision of everything I want (and don’t want). So it keeps me from adding anything unnecessarily.

    I doubt you are the only one. I feel as though I’m the only one who hasn’t bought anything. Lol

    I haven't bought too much. However, the other day I went to Michael's with my MOH to get escort cards and table numbers, it got expensive. 😂 She had a lot of ideas and I just couldn't say no. I was trying to stall to bring her to her baby shower. 😂😏 Instead of having regular escort cards and table numbers, now she is making a whole seating chart and wood burning table numbers. I guess I can't complain because I don't have to do it lol.

    I am this way too. I had only bought candles for decor and my florist is doing hydrangea vases. That was until I went to Michael's with my artist friend but it still won't be overboard. 😂

    That was my husband! He kept finding stuff for our decor and would exclaim “but it was only $10!” Uh, all those little fees added up to a few thousand dollars. 😲

    Same!!! I have a ton of signs and decorations for our wedding and keep telling myself I don't need anything else, but when I see something cute, I pretty much can't resist! I called my mom last week to help me because "I was in Hobby Lobby unsupervised". LOL

    Our wedding planner told us "don't buy anything the 2 weeks before the wedding. You're going to think you don't have enough of something or that you need these things. You don't." But that doesn't stop me from buying stuff now. Smiley xd

    After seeing the costs of venue and vendors all totaled up yesterday and how much we still owe I am considering cutting back on decor I thought I'd do. I can't go hog wild so I am being more cautious about what is truly necessary decorations.
