****sister conflict****

That edit on your post probably wasn't your best idea.

Just like JustPlainCat, I've been to 4 weddings in a month. It happens. No big deal. You'll have your wedding and enjoy yourself just like your sister will have your wedding and enjoy herself.

Unless there are a ton of OOT guests, this is a non-issue. I'm not going to pick and choose between sisters because they have weddings the same month, and neither will the people who care about you.

I get that it is annoying but there is not much you can do about it. I am sure you are worried that it will feel like a competition and the best advise I have on that is to not play the game.

July is smack dab in the middle of wedding season. It's common to go to weddings close together between May-September and I doubt your family will mind

I don't think it's a huge deal. They're weeks apart.

We all have more than one wedding this summer - I had three in one weekend one summer. As a guest, we're showing up in support of the couple, not because we couldn't have done anything else that weekend.

That's so rough. I know it's be way hard if it was my sister (who's also older and my MOH). I guess just try to enjoy doing things together and be excited for her so she's excited for u. As far as the guests, they're more likely to go to yours sincerely it's first but u really have no control. Good luck and enjoy it as much as possible!!

I am in a similar situation. It sucks because you've been waiting X amount of years, you're X years older, but ultimately, people aren't going to put their lives on hold for you. And you are going to be the person who cares the most about your day. I've moved on and am just accepting that whoever cares about us enough will make it to both weddings. Anyone else is dead to us. Just kidding, kind of. :-) Plus, there are only a few OOT guests on FH's side anyway.

Just take some deep breaths and focus on your own big day.9

I get where your coming from! I have a lot of siblings and was excited to finally get all the attention, and then my brother and his fiancé set the date for their wedding soon after I got engaged (they were engaged for years before) and I was a little annoyed. Honestly though it's kinda nice to have someone sort of close to plan along with. We bounce ideas off each other occasionally, and it gives us something to talk about.

This past year we had 3 wedding within 3 weeks and it was awesome! My FH and I love attending weddings and seeing everyone! We don't get to see family a lot so it was nice seeing everyone more than usual! I wouldn't worry

I have seen numerous post about this topic. I totally get that you may get upset if someone was invited to both and only attended hers. Honestly you can have a year or two apart and the same thing WILL happen. With my first marriage my sister rushed and got married a year before me. Guess what happened people who attended her wedding didn't attend mine and vice versa. Don't take it personally.

I don't think it's worth being upset about but I do always think it's a bit odd when siblings do have weddings that close together. Yes, you only get one day but now all the events will be close together for the bridal shower/Bach too likely. I personally wouldn't have done that had I been her but you can't really say anything to her about it

ETA- I saw your comment about going dress shopping together. Personally I'd avoid that - it adds to the competition piece you are starting to feel. It's great to go together but I don't think it's a great idea to both be trying on dresses at the same time - you should each have your own day(s) for shopping imo

You get ONE day. At least your sister didn't plan her wedding at 11 AM the day after yours, like another bride posted. Be happy you get a whole weekend. It could be worse.

The weddings are weeks apart, I don't see the problem. And your sister is getting married on my birthday :-)

If your worried about one upping each other or it "feeling" competitive just don't share your ideas with each other.

However if your like my sister and I then you better share ideas or else you pick the same exact everything. We are terrible about that.
