Smile and nod and let her do what she wants. It works out best for everyone.

And whatever you do, don't do anything that may require hand surgery the week before your wedding (like pop a tendon while playing flag football). While it may be funny years later, at the time she will not be amused. Yes, I speak from experience.

If she asks for my opinion do I say "whatever you would want, I want?" Or how does that work?
 
Has anyone else had experience with their future bride going psycho during the invitation progress? If so any advice would be appreciated.
OK, we are going to need a flux capacitor (see below)

Go back to five minutes before you proposed and punch yourself in the face.

Define going psycho.

Too many guests?
Parents too involved? (personal experience here)
You're too involved?
You're not involved enough? (got experience with this one, too.)
Hates her bridesmaids?
Hates you groomsmen? (yep)

So many questions...

We're having printer issues as she decided she wanted to make the invitations herself and the computer we are printing on hasn't been very agreeable. :confused:

I'm very happy I'm gonna be with this woman (unlike my first "mistake" or as others might call it.........divorce)
 
A) I was 18
B) she was the hottest girl I had bagged at that point in my life
C) I was unaware of her insanity at the moment I gave her my #

I learned a few things on the fly that night. Definitely one of the more educational experiences of my 1st year in college.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who gave their SO the "abridged" version of their college conquests. I love my husband but he does *not* need to know everything from that time. He knows enough and vice versa. Though every once in a while I'll mention something (usually while drinking) and he'll just give me a look like, Say What?

Tell her you don't care, because all that matters is the morning after the wedding, you wake up married to the girl of your dreams. Then prepare yourself to be treated like a **** toy.:wink:

I go with the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.

Should I also hand over my man card while I'm saying this? :wink:

IMO, as a man, it is your responsibility to do anything that is remotely technical. My wife tried printing maps to our wedding site, the printer was f'ed and she printed something like 300 maps with all of Story county blocked out. She said "that's good enough, I'm tired of screwing with it" and went forward with hand-making decorations for the invitations. My point was, nobody's going to see all these decorations you're spending so much time on if they can't find their way to the freaking wedding.

I'd say take over on this one. It will make it seem like you're helping, and give her time to worry about something else.

Ah, the DIY bride. Yeah, that sucks. I designed, printed and assembled all 250 of our invitations myself. They looked cool, but I would probably not ever do it again.

My SO knows more than she wants, thanks to 1 night where my buddies got wasted and started telling her the story of every girl I'd ever made out with, let alone slept with. They just berated her for an hour with it, trying to get me in trouble. I think she was more embarrassed about it than I was in the end...
