I Think I Am Going To Sound Selfish......

I Think I Am Going To Sound Selfish......

But do you guys want your weddings to be like the best wedding out of everyone you know (friends, etc)?? I want it to be the most special and memorable day for FH and I, and he feels that I am wasting money on the little things (like I just wanted to order personalized napkins and he thinks Im crazy). I want to do it, b/c it makes me really happy and at the end of the day... I also want people to think 'WOW...everything she did for her wedding was amazing.' LOL!!! Okay.... does that sound bad?

It doesn't make you sound selfish, we all want the best. I think sometimes weddings run together b/c they are similar, but it seems like everyone on this site is working hard to make their wedding unique.

i think we'd all like to think ours is going to be the best but theres always someone that will outdo you and you have to be okay with that... what makes it the best is when guests can see that the reception reflects the couple... and that can be done in tons of ways.... IMO napkins arent a big deal... my cousin had them at her CH and sure it was a cute addition, but to me it was just another personalization... it didnt exactly reflect them as a couple... just an added expense IMO

I don't think it sounds selfish...if I thought my wedding wasn't going to be the best day for myself and my FH and our guests, I would have just gone to the justice of the peace and started my life with my fiance. But I , too, want the huge party of the year and I want people to be talking about it for years to come, otherwise all the $$$$ I'm spending would be for nothing. Thats just my opinion.

hope this helps.

What do you think reflects the couple at the reception? Just wondering cause I worry I dont have anything that really reflects who 'we' are

if you have pets that you just adore, make table cards using them... ours are using diff islands bc most people know we love the caribbean...

our ceremony has a joke about us fighting over the mets and yanks...

just little things here n there .... IMO personalizing things and putting your monogram all over the reception isnt a reflection of the couple..

maybe get a cake topper that says soemthing about the 2 of you... or a donation favor... could be anything

I feel the EXACT same way, especially since my BP Su**s for the most part right now and they are all married, so I want to beat theirs. I know that is bad but oh well

no you are not being selfish and nor does it sound bad. you are being a real bride! :) we all feel the same, at least i do! and it is normal for us to want to have the most amazing wedding and better than any other wedding you have been to. that is normal and that is not being rude, mean or selfish or nasty! i am doing all these little perks and goodies and things that will put a nice touch to my wedding, i am going above and beyond and fh thinks i am crazy too but i want everything to look beautiful and i want the best wedding ever, haha.. i guess im being selfish too than, haha! :)

I feel the same way.....I want our wedding to be the most memorable and nicest and romantic. I order so many personalized things (table numbers, personalized aisle runner, menu and place cards....I spent so much money.....OMG it's unbelievable)
