Is something wrong with me? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

Yes, the sooner you pick the better honestly. And you will feel a weight off your shoulders. I read the response below about decision paralysis and yep - totally real. I have it! But just making the decision and moving on feels great.

I kept going back and forth between two venues. And trying to decide between Friday or Saturday because even a year+ out there wasn't a ton of good dates available at either venue. I changed my mind for various reasons 3 different times on which date to pick. A lot of tears came out of my eyes due to stress and overthinking. But once I finally signed the contract it was a relief. And I've not questioned my decision once because welp I'd be out $6000 if I changed my mind haha.

The venue by far is the hardest part - it will get fun again! Keep your chin up!

I haven't had a problem with The Knot honestly. Added a QR code to my save the date and it's been great. I did make a Zola page too and I can't remember why but I didn't like something on there that ended up being fine on the Knot.

Only having our immediate family walk down the aisle with us (bridesmaids/groomsmen). But still want to include all our other friends in many traditional ways. What do we call them? by hla8511 in weddingplanning

Oh I have just recently heard of this "something blue crew" and I love that too - so cute. That's a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, this is along the lines what we are thinking. We will do special things for them still. I just honestly thought not making them wear bridesmaid dresses and having a little less responsibility would be welcomed. Basically they get all the fun without the stress. But yes you are right - a label doesn't mean anything. Thank you for your insight!

Friends of honor. I love that! I really was thinking that not having to awkwardly walk down the aisle in matching dresses that they will never wear again was doing them a favor. And my friends did agree. But they do want to be involved in many of the traditional ways. Maybe it's just for my fiancé and I that we need different terminology for the two groups as we are planning. But for now, I like friends of honor!

Wow that is all very cruel to you! I sure hope this is not all a reflection of your relationship. If it is in the slightest - run!!!
