So I’m really wondering how brides get over negative or distasful criticism on your ideas for YOUR wedding .
I came home today after my meeting with my potential caterer SUPER excited to tell my parents about the ideas we came up with .
My potential caterer was awesome she supported me in my breakfasted “dinner “ theme for my 4pm reception idea . She gave me so many ideas that could turn my reception into food entertainment. Anyway I come home ecstatic to tell my parents. When I told them my dad (with a disgusted face ) says breakfast for dinner ?? “Seriously” (more disgusted faced ) my mom was no help when I asked her all she said was “ I mean I guess .... it’s your wedding” like that answers my question to her — “is this a stupid idea?” —

So now idk what to do or how to feel . I was so excited bc breakfast is my favorite kind of food actually me and Fhs . My wedding being in December I thought it would be fun to throw some random foods out that no one would expect . Anway I hope you guys can understand my writing .

I have literally done EVERYTHING by myself for this wedding and my parents haven’t been that helpful or even just exciting . It’s crazy how nice it is to talk to vendors because they are just as excited as you are 😪

I LOVE BREAKFAST
Everyone does! That's why McDonald's serves breakfast all day, and there are restaurants that specialize in breakfast.

But in all seriousness, someone will find some reason to criticize your wedding. Wedding food usually sucks no matter what because it's mass produced. At the end of the day, you have to own your decisions and do what makes you happy. I don't think people realize how insensitive they are being when they criticize a wedding.

So, I basically just don't really tell anyone things or I choose wisely what and to whom. Others opinions have never really bothered me much, though. Remind yourself that all that matters is that you and FH are into whatever decisions are being made. I think it sounds great because I, too, live breakfast foods. I think it's funny how people act strange about the time of day they eat a food as if you can't eat pancakes at 9pm. I don't want to live in that world...

Put your twist on your day. Let those who are negative be negative. Let them live in their little boxes where waffles and omelets can only be eaten before 11am. I mean being an adult comes with the perks of having ice cream or a sleeve of oreos for dinner.

I think breakfast for your dinner sounds AWESOME!! if I thought my guy would go for that I would have been all over it! Breakfast foods are the best. Your parents probably just assumed it would be a "normal" wedding meal. It's normal for you, and I think it's great and unique, and if it's what you want and what makes you happy go for it! Sounds like a great time to me!
we're having a pretty casual wedding, we're getting food from chicken shack. When people hear that they have some comments like "well the chicken is better at...." I just tell them well, chicken shack delivers so i'm not picking up food day of my wedding in my dress and ask them if they want to go and pick it up...so far no takers. It's your day, you do want you want, what you have envisioned for the day. I'm sure it'll be great

I LOVE THAT IDEA!! That’s actually what I wanted to do also but our venue doesn’t offer a breakfast menu. What about different eggs Benedict?! That’s my favorite! You can literally do anything with them! For mother’s day we did a lobster one, every time we go for breakfast I try to get different bennys!

I also had super negative people, but also super positive ones. I stopped including negative ones in any planning I could take care of without them... And plan ways to minimize my frustration when I had them around...

Then I ran to my happy place once done! I had people who helped me laugh at myself (and the comedy of errors around me). And I used this forum as a touchstone to help see whether my ideas are quirky-fun or quirky-bad for a larger audience.

Breakfast is awesome, I would love this as a guest. If this is something you both love, then do it! People will always have opinions and you cant pleasebthem all, so I say do what makes you happy!

I love breakfast! I think it’s a great idea and something original. Maybe your parents will eventually come around to the idea especially after your guests love it as well.

I think that sounds fun!!! I’m sure your guests have gone to many weddings with the traditional dinner fare and I bet they will enjoy something different. I think it is hard when your parents have criticism (deep down most of us want to please our parents) and I’m sure when they expressed their opinion that really was disappointing. At the end of the day the food doesn’t matter, what you will remember is the memories you make that day. Go for what makes you happy :-)

Who doesn't love breakfast, and growing up I think we had breakfast for dinner nights like once a week. I am honestly trying not to share to many details with people, not that I even have any yet.

I'm really sorry you had/have to deal with that. It's especially hard when it comes from a parent.

That is great idea. I love breakfast food, that is why I’m having a brunch wedding. The bottom line is it is YOUR day. Do what you want. I’m sure your guest will enjoy that unexpected twist.

That sounds absolutely amazing! I would love that as a guest and if that's what you and your significant other want to do I say go for it. It's true when people say you can't please everyone all the time. When it really comes down to it its a celebration of the two of you and if that's what speaks to you then that's what you should have. If me and my FH had the money and the venue was a little easier to bring in an outside caterer I would totally pitch this idea to him right now lol
