The problem with talking to other people is that often times, the topic of conversation drifts away from what's truly important: your upcoming wedding.

Give Her an Honorary Wedding Job.
Who wouldn’t love the privilege of arriving an hour early to make sure your guests sign the guestbook before they take a seat? Your friend will feel honored that you’re including her on the most important day of your life. She’ll let you talk for hours about how your dieting bridesmaids better not overshadow your wedding weight loss.

Ask About Her Recent Vacation.

Foolproof! Now, about that flower arrangement ...
