Cringe-worthy!

A friend of mine is getting married the same day as me. She’s posted multiple statuses to her Facebook regarding RSVPs (even though not all of her friend list is invited) and her latest one states that if they don’t hear from people by tomorrow, their RSVP date, they’re proceeding as if those people...

I hope no ones got lost in the mail.....

Anyone else see some Wow-worthy things other people are doing that make you cringe a little?

    Yuck. I had a friend who was planning a wedding too and she posted something wedding related EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

    Like slow down lol. Also, private messages are a thing, your entire guest list knows you're getting married, you don't need to broadcast it every day.

    It's pretty cringeworthy! Like the local bride group is there for THAT EXACT REASON. I've definitely utilized mine a few times without spamming up my news feed!

    Except...if you're asking EVERYONE usually that does mean everyone will get invited LOL that's so rude. I hope that person didn't end up taking that person's advice!

    Oh my goodness. I would have walked out of that wedding! Yes, you're the bride and this is your special day, it does not mean basic decency goes out the window! I will never, ever understand brides who suddenly see all of their guests as servants instead of people who are there to celebrate with them. Or their bridesmaids as servants too!

    Definitely don't want a group of people talking about how awful your wedding is! If that happens, you definitely did something wrong!!!

    She definitely doesn't realize how tacky it is lol. She's one of those people that, although she's super book smart, her street smarts aren't the best. She had trouble discerning nationality with citizenship. My FH is Indian and he tried telling her that yes, his family is Indian and from India, but he is American, as in he is a legal citizen here. And she just did NOT get it lol!

    I hope it all works out for her, but as a guest, I'd be rolling my eyes a little bit!

    I helped. I can't take all teh credit because it was me, the MOH, and her. I made the bouts and helped oranaize the bouquet. Mine aren't turning out quite as nice because people keep trying to help and making choices that don't make sense. But it's people like FMIL who I can't say no to because I can't hurt her feelings.

    Oh, you can definitely say no without hurting feelings.

    "That's a neat idea, but I'm envisioning it more this way!" Is a SUPER awesome way to put your foot down without saying "Your idea doesn't make sense and I don't like it." Just because it's someone you care about doesn't mean you should allow them to step on what YOU want for YOUR day. I've had to say no PLENTY of times, and usually I'm not a confrontational person at all, but my wedding is bringing out my moxie and I've been able to put my foot down and communicate what I want without hurting any feelings!

    Haha right! That was exactly the point I was trying to get across. The commenting girl has argued with me on other people's posts before and since. And it's usually a "how would you deal with this" type question. In my mind I'm just like "ugh this is why we aren't friends ya rude little nut!" The bride did end up asking for addresses on Facebook, despite being given several different options. I saw the post, but did NOT add our address, despite knowing the girl for almost 12 years and being friends with her in laws. Lo and behold, we managed to get invited anyways. Her FIL figured out how to get in touch with us without facebook's help. Imagine that. Lol

    Huh, it's almost like people got married BEFORE Facebook was a thing? They somehow got addresses? How WEIRD.

    Sounds like this person also doesn't know an ounce of etiquette either!

    Ugh that's definitely a major cringe. A few things I've seen on social media that I'm just like yeah...I wouldn't...like one girl who posted wedding countdown statuses every month until her wedding (starting a year early), then literally posted a wedding photo a day for months afterwards; I also have a friend who agreed to go to a wedding then realized that it's on a 7 day cruise that gets back to port on Christmas day...so now she has to take off 5 days of work and doesn't get to see her family, plus the cruise is costing her $2,000. I would've backed out, personally!

    Also, who wants to post their address publicly to facebook? Not a good idea!

    My FH and I have had our wedding date September 8, 2018, picked out for over a year and the whole family knew what day it was and where the wedding is going to be.

    My cousin and his girlfriend suddenly decided to get married out of the blue and what date does his psycho (that's a huge CRAZY backstory) girlfriend pick... September 8, 2018.

    My aunt, cousins, grandmother all begged and pleaded with her to change the date. NOPE she already chose the venue and started hiring vendors.

    So now my whole family is forced to choose which wedding to go to. She even had the balls to send MY parents a Save the Date and invitation!!!!

    Oh my goodness, I had a friend who did this too. I'm almost dreading her one year anniversary coming up, cause I feel like she'll spam my newsfeed again! Like I had people who posted their wedding albums and everything once they get their pictures back, but this chick made separate albums for everything.

    "Getting ready!"

    "Showing my dad!" (That one had a whole two pictures in it.)

    "Walking down the aisle!"

    "Reception entrances!"

    "Cutting the cake!"

    And she'd post each of these a few hours apart, deliberately, so people would see them. I was SO annoyed, I think I even ended up muting her! lol

    Omg, I would be LIVID. Especially since she sent your parents an invite and STD! Like they'd come to her wedding over yours???

    Why in the world would she pick the same date as yours? People are so rude and unbelievable!
