Nobody Will Notice
My wedding mantra is: "Nobody is going to notice." As crazy as it seems, most people know very little about how weddings "ought" to be. Few non-brides have ever even cracked an issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. So here is just part of my list of things Nobody Will Notice that I've seen brides obsess about:
- Whether the bridesmaid's dress colour matches the flowers in the centerpieces or any other precise colour-matching issue
- That the invitations don't match the save-the-date cards
- That the wedding does not have a "theme" or that you do not have "wedding colours"
- Handwritten versus computer-printed addresses on the invitations
- Exactly which stamps are on the invitations
- The precise wording of the invitation
- Evenly matched bridal party (same number of bridesmaids as groomsmen)
- Whether there is a cute poem to go with the table cameras
- Cloth versus paper napkins
- That there are no favours
- That there are too many favours
- That there are too few programs
- That those fiddly tissue packets you spent so much time making are sitting in a nice basket waiting to be sniffled into
