When I was planning our wedding 7 years ago my dressmaker introduced me to Brides Rule!, which I consider an essential wedding planning tool. Brides Rule! is a simple, yet effective phrase that can be used to end quarrels, discussions, tiffs or nagging that may occur when planning your big day. In other words, it’s a tactful way to say back off!
Here’s how it works: If family or friends become too involved in your plans it may be time to exercise Brides Rule! (a “talk to the hand” gesture may accompany it). Once it has been invoked there are to be no further discussions about the issue at hand and all involved must respect the bride’s decision. Please use it responsibly, but do use it because it works!
Note: Brides Rule! is not intended to be used to overrule all of your partner’s ideas or to increase the overall wedding budget!!
