What to do when a friend is stealing your wedding ideas?


Recommended Posts

In taking in some suggestions from ya'lls post.........I guess I need to take a step back and maybe be the better person and come up with somehow to talk to her. So, how could I go about doing it that it doesn't piss her off and/or makes things better without it being a tit for tat type of thing and nip it in the butt now. :)

 

Thoughts?

That happened to one of my friends! Her FI's sister got engaged after them, booked their wedding 1 month before them at the SAME CHURCH they had already booked. Then she stole her wedding colors and several other ideas. Grrr. I would be sooo annoyed!

I like this idea. My girlfriend is getting married next year here at home and she is trying to steal my ideas too. I keep throwing her off the sent though and telling her things that I would never do.blush2.gif

If she is your close friend I would just talk to her about it and express your concerns. It may be that you have very similar taste, or it may be that after she looked at your book she racked her brain but everything she thought of she didnt like as much as what you'd written down...maybe she didnt think you'd care...there are a plethera of "what ifs" here and I know if it was me and this were my close friend, I'd tell her I was worried about our weddings looking the same and ask for her help in making sure that even if they're similar, they're not identical. Since they were your ideas to begin with, I'd like to think she'd be willing to compromise!!

 

Good Luck!

I know I take a lot of ideas from people but then try to make them my own and give credit to the real owner (really one of the main reasons I'm on BDW). When someone takes my ideas I always try to look at it as a compliment. Weddings almost always look and feel the same anyways - ceremony, cocktail hour, reception. Just talk to your friend and I'm sure you guys will be able to work something out. Good luck!!

You should probably punch her in the face. If you are thinking of going with a less violent route, and if this is really bothering you then you should definitely talk to her. Maybe she doesn't realize that she just copied your whole wedding, or why it would bother you. She is probably wrapped up in all the copying of your planning that she didn't really stop and think about it! Just be upfront about it!

I wouldn't share any more information with her than you already have so that your weddings aren't identical. It's fun to plan weddings with your friends I have 2 other friends planning right now and 2 of us are doing DW, we do share information but there is some stuff that I just don't tell them. So if I were you I would keep any other ideas to yourself without discussion.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
