Bride: When should I tell my parents I am getting married? What’s a good way to let them know?

OWD: It would be nice to let them know as early as possible. You can tell them when you set your wedding date.

Bride: Should I do it over a dinner?

OWD: I think the best way is with your fiancé.

Bride: True, very true.

OWD: You should do it face to face. I think they would appreciate that.

OWD: Over dinner is a great idea.

Bride: My mother is all excited about me getting married, but I just haven't officially told her yet.

Bride: What do I do when she is throwing crazy suggestions at me without making her feel bad?

OWD: Tell her you will keep her suggestions in mind.

OWD: You might be able to use some of them.

Bride: Ok. Thanks.
