- Aunt Caroline (ficticious name) decides to help you with the decorating..she comes to see you with bags of flowers from the (Quelle horreur!!) Dollar store. You have had the decorating all planned for at least 6 months, everything is all assembled and ready to go. You have done countless mock-ups of the table settings , and all is under control, or so you thought. Besides, she's helped you before. You know that she stuffs things randomly without the proper mechanics, and should someone sneeze at the Table, the entire centerpiece may go flying! What can you do?

- Tell her that the Florist has already arranged everything, and that your Wedding may be featured in a Wedding magazine, so nothing can be changed or added at this point.

- Show her what you have planned, (if there's time) and thank her profusely for her offer of help. Say "I could use some help with...."
