If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel apparently. I've been doing that all my life and that statement scares me, whether it's true or not. I can't not suppress my sneezes because they are pretty wet and have a lot of mucus. :S
what else can i do?

be prepared, carry several handkerchiefs with you at all times.

This is awfully silly but one of my friends told me to open my mouth and repeat the word oatmeal when you feel like you're going to sneeze. I've tried it a few times and it's been working so far even though it's funny!

Keep tissues with you, and when you feel a sneeze coming on, blow your nose first. It'll probably get rid of the irritant, and it's a lot less forceful to blow your nose instead of sneezing.

Press the skin above your mouth and below your nose with your index finger when you feel like sneezing as though making a moustache...it always works with me!
