Over stepping

Are you the bride or maid of honor? Or just a friend helping plan a wedding?

If someone's mom told you to back off, I would. I would wait for the bride to ask for help if she needs it.

I haven't asked my MOH/best friend to do anything because I don't want to burden anyone with planning my wedding for me.

I think just being a friend and asking her how wedding planning is going and let her know you're there if she needs help is good enough!

I love love love when my moh/bridesmaids ask about wedding planning. I feel like a nag or a burden if I talk about it too much, so I like when they bring it up. I also created a private FB group for everyone to communicate, maybe ask her if you can do that for her. It can be fun too, sharing pics and ideas. And she'll know you're all excited!

Allow her to ask when she’s ready or needs to. However, taking the role of planning because that’s your job is smart and wise for YOU but may be getting in the way of her experiencing it for herself. So, just support when she needs it.

I love when people ask about my wedding, but I'm a super big planner and haven't asked for help from anybody except my mom, FH, or FMIL. I've done all of the planning but have mainly asked them to help get things I want to buy for the wedding or just give a second opinion on things. If the bride needs help with something, she'll ask!

Honestly if it was me I'd be happy you seem to wanna be involved and wanna help and are enthusiastic. But I can see that sometimes some brides can be overwhelmed and just need to figure things out in their own heads first for themselves
