We have all heard the term “Bridezilla”, if you have not heard it one day you will, hopefully it is not someone calling you one.
A bridezilla is a term that is used to describe a bride that is unpleasant, demanding to everyone that is around. Everyone from the family, to the bridesmaid and friends and vendors are not safe when this bride is around.
Many of us will say, I would never be a bridezilla, however we might have a little in us that we don’t even know about.
A bridezilla will make sure that everything they want they get. It doesn’t matter who is paying for it or how much it costs, they want it. Bridezillas will take a kind gesture, like having their parents offer to pay for part of the wedding and they take it and run. Show appreciation to any help that may be offered to you, and spend it wisely. Don’t have the attitude that it is your parents duty to pay for you big extravagant wedding.
Your wedding party, in particular your bridesmaids, are normally your closest friend and family members. They are there to help you on your big day but do not take advantage of them. A bridezilla will push relationships to their breaking point by expecting everyone to drop everything for them. Bridezillas seem to have the attitude that you must drop everything for them when they need it, and there are no excuses. Bridezillas will also drop bridesmaids if they feel their photos are in jeopardy because maybe one the the bridesmaids got pregnant or have gained weight.
A bridezilla will talk about their wedding 24/7. A conversation will consist of what they are doing and what they still need to do, and what other people are not doing. During this conversation there will be no talk about anything else. Any events that may take away from their planning they will not partake in. However if they have this attitude you may not want them around anyways.
Do you feel you are taking on traits of a Bridezilla, try these tips to steer you away from that direction
- Show appreciation to any help that may be offered to you, and spend it wisely. Don’t have the attitude that it is your parents duty to pay for you big extravagant wedding.
- Drama is inevitable when you put women together, however avoid any unnecessary drama by not creating your own. Embrace any friends who are expecting or may feel overweight. You may want to look into bridesmaid dresses that will flatter most body types, so maybe not a tight dress on a pregnant friend.
- Although your bridesmaids are there for you remember that they have things to do outside your wedding as well. Do not make your wedding a 24/7 thing for them,
- Stay organized, once you get unorganized you will get frazzled and start putting the blame on others. Use binders, spreadsheets and check lists to help you keep organized
- Be realistic when it comes to budget, we all would love a royal wedding but realistically we can’t afford it. Pick certain items you can cut back on so you can get the items you really want.
- Have fun with your planning, get people involved including your groom to be.
