So you have made your decision about which bridal boutique you want to visit, your appointment is booked and it seems like everyone wants to go with you 🙈. How many do I bring? Who do I bring? How do I tell someone they are not coming with me? 😢
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is feeling like you have to invite everyone who wants to come. Too many opinions can make it harder to concentrate, harder to think, harder to feel. 👰♀️
My advice:
✨ Bring 2-4 people whose opinions you genuinely trust. Or come on your own!
✨ Choose the people who know you, not just what they like.
✨ Invite those who will support your decision, even if it’s not the dress they would choose.
If someone expects an invite but you’d rather keep it small, it’s okay to say: 💁🏻♀️
“I’m keeping the appointment really small so I don’t get overwhelmed.”
Or
“I’ve decided to just bring my mum/stepmum/mother figure and/or maid of honour, but I can’t wait to show you photos afterwards.”
Or
“I’m actually going on my own for this appointment so I can figure out what suits me”.
Setting boundaries doesn’t make you selfish. If they love you, they will understand. It’s that simple.❤️
Does this sound like you? DM me HELP and I’ll help you figure this out 🤍.
