How to defeat wedding envy

November 4, 2024

wedding envyLet’s say your brother is getting married three months ahead of you. Let’s say his fiancé (your future sister-in-law) is rich, and let’s say you’re not. It’s kind of hard not to succumb to wedding envy when you’re concerned the two weddings are going to be compared.

That’s the dilemma a young bride-to-be presents to advice columnist Carolyn Hax:

“But I DO have feelings of frustration about spending what is, for my fiancé and me, a not-small amount of money on something so much lesser, three months after my brother’s wedding. Amy and I are bridesmaids in each other’s weddings, and I feel self-conscious every time we discuss plans. My head keeps saying my fiancé and I should just elope for cheap rather than spending money to do something so much less nice.”

Scott Stevens Entertainment didn’t need to read any further, because we have the simple solution: FUN. The power of fun is the great equalizer. Couples of modest means can experience a wedding for the ages by simply providing the right kind of entertainment.

Scott Stevens Entertainment provides all of the professional options to ensure a wildly successful event. Everything begins with great DJ entertainment, MCed by pros who know how to pack a dance floor. We offer decor lighting that transforms even a plain venue into a palace.

One of the most affordable ways to upgrade the fun is to add a photo booth. When your guests aren’t on the dance floor, they’re at the photo booth, creating an irresistible cycle of fun.

The advice columnist agreed that there’s no need for wedding envy. She said you, your guests, and the MUSIC are the key elements to a fun event.
