After the excitement of the proposal and the ring begin to die down, the questions begin popping up. Where is the wedding? When? Have you gone dress shopping? Who is in your bridal party? The questions are endless. With the storm of wedding expos that hit in the new year, family and friends can become very nosy and sometimes, it's a bit too much.
Some tips on dealing with the nosiest of your friends or family.
1. If they ask when the wedding is and you don't completely know, maybe give them a year or a season. A vague answer allows for some leeway so you haven't lied, but you have also somewhat satisfied their thirst for knowledge.
2. For the friends who immediately think they are in the bridal party, just say you haven't thought about it yet. You don't know the size of the party or your budget so you're not sure how many maids you can afford. If it's a strong chance the friend isn't in consideration for the big seat of maid, let them down gently and don't give an indication that they weren't considered at all. "Well it may be a small party and it's going to be a close call. I really don't know yet."
3. A lot of females jump at the chance to go dress shopping with the bride. To deal with this one, cite Say Yes to the Dress. "I know it's not great to have a huge entourage. I may just go with my mom! But wedding timelines say I have x amount of time, so I'm not worried with it at all right now. I'm just enjoying being engaged."
4. When in doubt, "just enjoying being engaged" and "taking in the moment" are perfect answers to almost anything.
