Sister Problems

Jordan, on August 7, 2019 at 8:26 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 5
Hey ladies,

I recently got engaged and we finally settled on a date!! while all of this is so exciting I am having problems with my sweet sister being overbearing. I have already let her know that while she won't be the maid of honor she will still have a major part in the wedding. I love her and want her apart of our special day. She has a tendency to go overboard and is already trying to put her opinion in on things like where we should get married and what the bridesmaids should wear and even the bachelorette party/ rehearsal dinner which is TWO years away. What did y'all do in this situation and how can I settle this without hurting her feelings!!

TIA

    You know you sister best. However, I would just talk to her. Say something like "I'm so happy you areas excited for us as we are. I will look into your recommendations but I also want to explore all my options."

    I agree with PP. sit down with her soon and talk so it doesn’t become a bigger problem.

    Hey Jordan! Welcome to the WeddingWire community!

    It’s so sweet that your sister is so excited about your wedding and wants to help you as much as she can, but I totally get that it can be too much! Especially since your wedding is still quite a bit away.

    I would definitely recommend having a conversation with her about how excited you are that she will be involved and what her role in the wedding will be but to also but some boundaries on what she will have input on.

    As Cyndy mentioned, it is better to have an honest discussion now, than for it to become a bigger problem in the future.

    Tell her how much you appreciate the excitement she has for your wedding, but all of her opinions are a tad overwhelming. Then let her know you can't wait to plan more with her as the date gets closer Smiley smile

    It sounds like she's super excited for you. That's really sweet. I don't know how to tell you to deal with that
