The first question people will ask you when you first get engaged is: \u201cHave you set a date yet?\u201d, and once the date is set\u2026 it only gets worse. You will be bombarded with questions about every single detail of your big day by everyone from your partner\u2019s aunt to random people you meet at Starbucks.<\/p>

While these curious people mean well, please remember \u2013 this is your wedding day and you are under no obligation to share any wedding details with anyone. With the potential exceptions being close friends and family, or anyone helping you plan the wedding, there are some details that you really should keep under wraps until the big day.<\/p>

The Dress<\/h2>

While many traditions have been modernized, one that seems to stand the test of time is not letting the groom see the bride in her dress before the wedding. If you tell too many people what your dress looks like \u2013 not only will you not get the full jaw-dropping effect as you walk down the aisle but you also run the risk of someone letting it slip and ruining the surprise for your spouse-to-be.<\/p>

Theme<\/h2>

Remember, everyone has an opinion. This includes those well-meaning but random people you meet at Starbucks. If you go around telling everyone your theme, you can bet that there are going to be a lot of suggestions on what you should do with that theme or worse, why your theme is a terrible idea.<\/p>

Special Moments<\/h2>

Are you and your partner planning a first look at the same location as your first kiss? Or, are you having your grandmothers act as flower girls? Keep that to yourself. As exciting as it is to be planning your dream wedding, it\u2019s always a good idea to keep some surprises for yourself. Don\u2019t feel like you have to share every little moment with every single guest. Allow you and your partner to have some things that are just for the two of you.<\/p>

Venue Address<\/h2>

Leading up to the wedding, it can be a good idea to keep details surrounding your venue to yourself for a couple reasons. First, it gets you out of having to hear everyone\u2019s opinion about your venue and it also allows you to keep potential wedding crashers away. While it is unlikely that anyone will crash your wedding, if you have a jealous ex or family members you would rather not be there, keep the address secret. It someone asks you where you\u2019re getting married, provide them with vague details \u2013 \u201coh, a little barn in wine country\u201d should be enough to satisfy their curiosity.<\/p>
