Trivia
Originally, the film was conceived as a teen comedy with Emma Roberts as Liv and Nikki Reed as Emma.

Goofs
If the wedding planner had to advise one of the 3 brides that she double booked a date, wouldn't it have made more sense for her to simply tell the 3rd bride that she made a mistake with her date? The other bride would have most likely gladly taken the 6th, whereas with telling Liv and Emma she was more likely to risk losing a customer.

Quotes
Daniel: They haven't spoken in a week. That's like a century in girl years.

Alternate versions
The UK cinema version was cut for a 'PG' rating. The cuts were: An aggressive use of 'bitch' to describe a female character. A character saying 'Mother F' when she hears her wedding date has been double booked.

Silly

Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson are in the "Bride Wars" in this 2009 comedy about two best friends who, due to a scheduling mistake, end up with the same date for their wedding. They agree one has to give up the date; but each finds out from someone else that the other is doing save the date cards or something, and they turn on one another. It becomes a goal for each woman to destroy the other's wedding.

This film is really for young girls, or so it seemed to me. It's funny in a silly kind of way. I frankly thought Hudson seemed older than Hathaway (she is, but only by three years).

Candace Bergen plays a popular wedding planner, and it's always great to see her. Loved seeing the locations around Central Park and the Plaza.

Okay.
