Disagreement with MOH

Re: Disagreement with MOH

  • Turn it around, OP.  What if one of your friends was pregnant, and sent you pinterest baby stuff ALL THE TIME.  In fact, it seems like that's all she can talk about.  Babies babies babies babies.

    At first, you'd be all "squee babies!".  About 20 baby-related texts, and you'll be all ".......... babies."

    Major life events are exciting, but have the self awareness to realize that nobody will be as excited as the person as it's happening to.
    I can't love this more than once, so QFT.

  • My MOH used to send my pictures of bridesmaid dresses, when we were still a year out.  I think 10 months is irrelevant - I was doing the majority of my wedding planning a year out, and then did nothing until four months out because I was overseas and couldn't.  I don't know - there's a difference between sending out too many messages about the wedding and sending a quick text every once and a while about an opinion.  As in, you see a dress online that you don't if your bridesmaids would all like, shoot them a text and say "yeah or nay".  That's not overload, that's asking for their opinions.

    "Once in a while" needs to mean only a 2-3 times in the whole planning process, otherwise you're annoying the crap out of me. Seriously, I'll wear whatever you want me to wear (within budget and sanity and appropriateness), so just make a decision. 

    Or if you're that indecisive, pick a designer and color and let me go to town on my own time.

    I find that number a bit low, and it's not because of me being indecisive.  My bridal party and I only went shopping the one day, but before that I was trying to get ideas of what kind of dresses they liked and what they didn't, and that took more that 2 or three emails.  I wanted to get their opinions on things instead of just picking something and assuming that they would like it.  It definitely wasn't an email a week, but before dress shopping it shouldn't seem too insane to bounce ideas off your bridal party as to what they want to wear.
