Too many opinions = Confused Bride to Be

I did earlier on in our planning. You have to consciously engage your filter at all times and only let people know what they need to know. It makes for a much more peaceful planning process.

Luckily, my H was very good at reminding me that it was OUR wedding and no one else's. I'm sure there were whispers in my family about decision A or B but at the end of the day, I didn't give a crap. You're getting closer so the closer it gets, the less you will care what others think (hopefully). Try not to let them get you down - and feel free to vent to us!

Yeah I learned that very very early.

I've learned to just not care. And after explaining some of our choices to parents, they have quit throwing their 2 cents in as they are not paying for anything. That being said, when it comes to others, you'll just have to let it go. And as Jac-Jac and Lizz said, pick and choose who you tell what to and pick what you want...

My FH has really had to keep reminding me as well. But then, someone will say something and I get to wanting to change my mind which I know is driving me crazy and definitely him. Never knew I cared so much about what people thought!

I'm going to get over it...I have to! Especially now that so many things are now set in stone..yikes!

Me too, I found out that some of my gf aren't the same since I've been engaged.

So I have 2 rules, #1, I don't discuss my wedding plans, unless they ask & #2 I don't ask for advice. The brides on WW have been very helpful to me.

I learned that the hard way too! First time i went dress shopping i went with ALL my BMS , second time I went by myself. It was mid week, around noon. Shop was empty all attention was on me. I chose my dress and couldnt be happier.

The only person besides my FH, is my mom that I talk about wedding stuff. Oh and my MOH. Every other girl thinks its thier wedding. I just decided before i blew up to stay away from the topic and ask for advice (and do my occasional ranting) on here!

I know its hard to let things like that go, but now it will be easier since you said things are set in stone. Nothing NO ONE can do about it =)

Hope it gets easier for you!

@Felicia girlllllll I originally went dress shopping with 2 BMs, MOH, and my mother and got all of these opinions and had doubts about the ones that they said looked the best on me. I ended up going to try on dresses a couple of more times alone and ended up picking a completely different dress that I knew was ME and not what they personally wanted.

I now only talk with my MOH and my mom, but then my MOM will ask her sisters about what they think of something and then tell me and then I get all kinds of confused.

@ Robin...yeah I've dealt with that too with a couple of people.

@ future mrs. omgeee! we dealt with the same things! It aint easy being a bride! lol.

one of my bms has been avoiding me ever since she found out I went and picked a dress on my own .There was this one she really wanted me to get, but it just wasnt me. So.. I think I may have lost a BM over dumb stuff! Girls take this stuff very seriously apparently! Lol. Its hurtful and stressful but we gotta do what makes us happy!

Learned this lesson the hard way!

I decided before we even got engaged that I wouldn't be asking for opinions of anyone aside from FH until he and I had whittled the choices down to 2 or 3.

Mom gets an opinion too because my parents are paying.... although I tend to still go with what I want because she already had her wedding and this is mine. I take her opinion into account though.

I have a confused FH on my hands! He doubts every plan we make 2 wks after we make it cuz he mentions it to someone (this wknd, it was his dad) & they ask why we're doing something & i guess he doesnt know how to own it. Uggggghhhhhh!!
