good and not so good.

Good stuff: I'm going to meet with a florist this weekend and I'm pretty excited. The first florist I met with kept trying to get me to sway from my original vision, and he was pretty rude! When he mailed me my estimates, all the descriptions of the bouquets I was ordering were wrong! He changed everything to what he thought would look better. I was so mad, but I found a new florist who was willing to meet with me on super short notice. Can't wait!

Not so good stuff: super petty arguments about plus ones. I know I'm not the only one that did this, but people make me feel like its so far fetched to be only giving plus ones to people that are married, engaged, live together, or are in significant long term (like, 6 months at least) relationships. Or my only other exception was to give a plus one to people that I know wouldn't know anyone else there, so that at least they'd have someone to talk to. I kept it straight across the board and that way people can't say I did it for one but not for the other. I really didn't think this was a crazy concept. UGH.

Thats awesome news!! Yeah flowers are my fav. part of the planning process

 Dont get stressed over the plus guest keep to your original plans. People will always have something to say and in the end your paying for it not them. Im doing the exact same thing.. On my invites im putting actually the number of people in their party that are invited and if they dont like it then dont come, less money ill have to spend!!!! I would never think to just invite someone I just started dating or seeing to someones wedding.

It's great you found another florist! Hopefully they turn out to be great, it's good that you didn't book with the other one if he was being rude to you at all, or came up with something that you weren't looking for.

As for the plus ones, pp is right, everyone is going to have something to say about your wedding, just the way it is. My sisters were angry because they found out I was thinking about cutting the plus ones, and started the argument well I can't bring so-and-so, but what about (cousin) are you going to let her bring her boyfriend? Um, yeah, if they meet our "cut off". Anyway, I caved and just kept the plus ones. I did see their point that the people without dates would want someone to dance with. But stick to your guns, as long as you stick to what you originally said, you're fine!

Hey thanks guys. I knew I wasn't crazy about the plus one thing. I think some people just don't understand that a wedding is expensive and it isn't a big social party where you just bring people along!

No they dont understand... They only understand when its coming out of their pockets... watch when they get married theyll be thinking the same like u lol

We are doing the same thing with plus ones..people in LT relationships/live together/engaged etc...other than that I have a couple friends coming from out of state who won't know anyone else there so they're getting plus ones too -- same as you. I've really been putting my foot down about this with my FI too (he's the type who wants to invite everyone and their mother)..bottom line, you're not crazy!

I have a feeling that I am going to be addressing this issue as well. A friend of mine just started dating someone and I just have this feeling that come time of my wedding she is going to expect that he is invited. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! We are going with a one year limit but did make an exception for one person because the table he will be at is all married couples and he won't know anyone else. Glad everyone agrees that this is an exceptable thing to do.
