How Do I Stop My Friend From Stealing My Wedding Ideas!!? |
My dear friend and I were planning our weddings at the same time. During the process, she has wanted to use my wedding colors, floral ideas, photographer, and party favors. I tried helping her select her own invitations and waited until she ordered certain things pertaining to her wedding before answering any questions about my personal plans. Now that my wedding has passed (and yes she was in it) it has gotten worse! She wants to borrow my tiara, use the music I played in the ceremony, the location where I had my bridal shower, etc!!!! I worked my behind off to plan my own beautiful occasion. I am in her upcoming wedding. I've told her that she needs to use her own special touch but she's not getting it. How do I tell her to use her own creativity without causing tension? It may be understandable that she may want to use some of the same things like venue (it worked so well for your needs too) and such. However it is not understandable that she also wants to use such personal things as the music and your tiara. Remember all the other ideas you had? Different songs that had to be set aside? Other color combinations? The other tiara you almost chose? Different traditions that sounded great but you just didnt use? Tell her you liked the songs you chose but there was also this other one there just wasn't time to include. You saw this tiara after puchasing the one you have now and the other one would look so great on her. Take her shopping to try it on. Try to direct her somewhere else. Tell her you love the creative process and want to help her make hers as unique as possible. Keep her out of the loop. Don't worry about it. Let her copy you and just be flattered that she likes your taste so much. It's good that yours was first - everyone will know that she is copying you, and not vice versa. I would actually think of it as flattery. If she isn't creative, then she just isn't. It's a shame, but there's not much you can really do. DON'T TELL HER YOUR IDEAS, OR GIVE HER FALSE ONES Don't tell her your ideas...but obviously it's too late. Just tell her that she should pick her own colors, etc. n Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Obviously, you have good taste...so why not share it? I was under the impression that friends helped each other out, and it's not as if she's taking anything away from you. |
