Help!

View Quoted Comment Girl yes I know! 😫 but this is what we want so we are going to make it happen. I have looked into garden venues but they are just now what we want so we decided to take that big step. My fiancé thinks that’s the only way we will get what we really want

What a smart and fun idea! Personally, I would just brush off the comments and enjoy planning a wedding that is perfectly yours. If there’s one thing I’ve learned during planning, it’s that a few people will have (and just can’t resist sharing) their opinions on your choices. Just remind them that it is yours and your fiancé’s wedding & you feel this option best reflects you as a couple. If they feel your wedding choice is so “Unacceptable” they can choose not to attend. But seriously girl, don’t let other peoples opinions ruin the experience for you. My mother has had tons and tons of opinions on the choices I am making for my wedding (insert eye roll), but I just brush them off & shut her down. I think she’s finally come around to the fact that I will be having the wedding I want, not the one she wants LOL

View Quoted Comment I’m trying I’m trying lol it’s just hard when it’s something so near to my heart but yes you are right!!!

Sounds good In Google I´ve found a lot of sweet ideas for a backyard wedding, even how to decorate a pool.

Backyard weddings are beautiful. I would ignore their comments. Some people are always going to have something negative to say or an unsolicited opinion. Do what makes the both of you happy

In regards to inviting them to the wedding, I guess it depends on how important they are to you. Can you see your special day without them? But yes ignore their comments. Someone is always going to have an opinion. Are they paying for it? The answer is likely no, so who cares what they think. If you and FH are both in agreement that’s all that matters.

View Quoted Comment I’ve been on Pinterest a lot for ideas and it’s been helping a lot

View Quoted Comment Thank you!
Definitely will

View Quoted Comment They are important people to the both of us but it wouldn’t make a difference if they attend or not. And no they aren’t helping with the wedding in any way.
Thank you!

I love this idea so much!! It's so sentimental. And not that anyone else's opinion matters, mine included, but that is definitely NOT cheap!

I say do what you want to do, and invite them anyways. Being the bigger person is always better!

View Quoted Comment It really is just because it will take place in our own backyard.
Thank you!!! I appreciate your comment

Everyone will have an opinion, all that matters is how you feel. If you have the space to host a wedding at your home...why not do it? You'll have complete control over all aspects. You may end up with someone unwanted house guests but as long as that's not an issue I think it's a great idea.
And if people think you're being cheap, that's on them.

View Quoted Comment Fiancé and I love the idea and that way we get exactly what we want. We don’t mind some unexpected guest as long as they know how to behave. And yes you are right because this idea is far from being cheap!!

Backyard weddings where you bring in countless rentals are not cheap, be it money-wise or ambience-wise. Congrats on a house purchase which many are not able to do.


As for the naysayers, ignore their comments. People like that wouldn't be happy unless the wedding came from a luxury planner with all the trimmings and are more focused on aesthetics than the love between the couple. Anyone who is that rude to say a word to you would automatically be cut from the guest list in my book.

View Quoted Comment Exactly!! These people that have made these comments are the ones who have married into wealthy families and has unlimited budget and yes they were very beautiful weddings BUT because of that I don’t believe mine would be any less beautiful. My fiancé and I have decided to keep those people out of guest list.

My parents had a backyard wedding and have been married 32 years. You do you and ignore the haters.

View Quoted Comment That’s very beautiful
That’s definitely what I’m doing
