Should I give my honest to God opinion or just keep quiet?

So my sister and I are very close. It’s the kind of relationship where I could say “you can’t out in that you look hideous”. There would be no fallout as it’s recognised it’s coming from a good place.

Anyway, she’s getting married and we are just very different. I’m more detail oriented and type A. Where is a little slap dash and low effort.

I would say I have good taste and friends often ask me to go furniture or clothes shopping with them.

Sister showed me her wedding invites and they were truly awful. I shared alternatives. Said they were a little dated. Offered my services re ribbon tying and wax seal applying. But sister was like “who gives a shit”. I can tell she is getting annoyed.

No word of a lie she had used a border not too dissimilar to the one I had attached. Her wedding is very much not cheap either!

Do I change the habit of a lifetime and allow her to make shit choices??

Im very aware it’s her wedding so will for say “and the end of the day it’s up to you, it’s your wedding”.

Should I give my honest to God opinion or just keep quiet?

What do you mean?

I always think and always will do that if it's your wedding you should do what you want

Aren't wedding invites just about different tastes? And everyone has different tastes

Not your circus...

It’s pretty gross of you tbh. Crass and controlling.

Let her express herself for her own wedding.

She's made her choice and has already told you she doesn't want your idea of "classy"

Just drop it.

That's not a terrible border...

It’s absolutely nothing to do with you essentially. She can have whatever she wants and you may cause a lot of upset if you say anything.

I couldn’t care about this at all (and I’m more a type A!) - it’s her wedding, her choice. Stay out of it!

If she’s getting annoyed then leave her to it

Its her wedding
