Plan a Wedding the same year as a friend?

Not at all! FH's friends don't have dibs on the whole year. Plan the wedding when you want!

Not at all! Like 3 of my friends are getting married the same year and before me and u got engaged first! Totally fine!!

Nope! My cousin got engaged after me & set his wedding date the same year as me & i'm okay with it.

Not at all in my opinion! No one has dibs on a whole year, especially if a long engagement is involved. I'd just stay a few months apart.

No. They get one wedding day, not the entire year.

Nope. My cousin (I’m in her wedding) got engaged 2018 and is getting married January 2020. My other cousin (I’m performing in the ceremony) got engaged August 2019 and is getting married in June. My other cousin is getting married September 2020 (I don’t expect an invite). Another cousin is getting married February 2020 and I’m getting married November 2020. As long as you’re not doing same day marriages, go for it lol.

Not at all! My cousin got engaged a few months after me and had the wedding 6 months prior to us. Same year but makes no difference as long as it's not the same day! Lol

Life happens for others even when you’re planning a wedding. I’m getting married in February and my friend is getting married in May. I’m actually a bridesmaid in her wedding even though she’s not in mine because I’m not having a bridal party. We are having two totally different weddings (mine a destination and hers very traditional with a Catholic Church ceremony and reception at a vineyard), so there’s not even any competition as far as that. But we’re still able to support each other with planning. As long as it’s not the same weekend, I see no problem in having weddings close to each other.

No I don't think at all, I would say October 2021 might be pushing it not that anyone has dibs on the month but it's alot to take on with two weddings.

I did say something to a friend when we were looking at dates because she is getting married June 2020 my cousin is getting married November 2020. So I said June 2020-December 2020, is not a choice because I don't want to have a wedding right around the same time as someone else close to me. I don't want them to be compared.

Not at all!

I got engaged August 2018 and almost immediately set a date for October 2020.

My close friend, who will be a bridesmaid in my wedding, got engaged in August of this year and is getting married next June. I'll also be a bridesmaid in her wedding.

Doesn't bother me at all. I'm super excited for her wedding!

Try not to be closer than 2 weeks apart, if you will have overlapping guest lists. Everything else is fine.

Not at all! Plan your wedding your way.

Thank you all for the advice, these are exactly my thoughts as long as it is not too close. FH asked me to post, because he wanted some more advice on the subject.

Not at all. My husband's friend got engaged may 2018. We got engaged June 2018. We both ended up getting married June 2019 a week a part and they were both each other's groomsmen ahaha

Not at all! My friend got engaged a month before I did and we did planning together, mostly for hers, I was her maid of honor. I always felt bad for talking about my wedding stuff to her because her wedding was coming first 6/9/19 and mine is 10/10/20. You don’t have to coordinate your wedding around theirs, do what makes y’all happy!!

Definitely not! We have friends getting married the month before us, there isn't a large overlap in guests so it doesn't really inconvenience anyone. You're fine especially with a large gap like that.

But if you're very concerned about it you can reach out to the couple directly.

I agree with PP, as long as it's not super-close, there's no problem and it's not disrespectful.

They don’t get a wedding year! There are a few months in between you, it should be totally fine.

I don’t really think it matters. For the most part once engagement season in a group hits is wedding after wedding so I don’t see the big deal.

Not at all! Our best man is getting married 1 month after us (FH is his best man as well!)
