Decisions that are right for me, but not necessarily popular on ww and definitely not traditional etiquette lol

We literally have told everyone we have talked to that that is check in time! We will be doing a receiving line that ends with Coffee/Hot Water (tea/coco/cider), so we figure that will kill a little time too! Our Immediate Family is 33 people, and I really want to take people, so if they are hanging out inside we can grab people we want. We are going to have our bridal party hand out cards to family members that says Household Name Stick Around for Pics with the Bride and Groom!

View Quoted Comment Sorry

that was vague on my part

i meant I think they’re fine as long as the couple isn’t adding people the day before just to “fill a seat & get a gift”

i think that I don’t understand the big deal as long as people aren’t intentionally misled and have a bit of decent notice

View Quoted Comment Well I definitely think that the gifting of “wedding stuff” is rude

i see it as buying yourself something and forcing on someone and wanting everyone to act like you did them a huge amazing favor lol

we are doing a flask, pair of wineglass, and pair of beer steins custom etched in a theme they enjoy (have a Zelda, 2 differently decorated Harry Potter, one has a company she thinks is amazing and it trying to launch so put on her logo and company name- sounds weird but actually I know her and she will adore it and SO was like dude if it’s personal anyone would so we’re good same - and the rest)

i guess i s I can see that Mayans you’re not putting individual thought into it being the problem maybe I guess?

i am doing matching cloaks and it has been suggested I use them as gift but I’m a hard no: I feel like wedding stuff is for the couple no matter who you drape it on or it give to

i definitely understand buying 6 of these is my gift to me lol

View Quoted Comment Oh yeah I totally agree, that’s super rude. Our situation is just we have a set number that our venue can hold, I have a huge family and we have tons of family friends that I’ve known my whole life, plus my and FH’s individual friends, and we hit our max limit. All the people on our B-list are aware that they’re on our B-list lol, they’re people who are close with my mom and I know them and like them, but they’re under no illusion that they’re top-tier for us lol. My mom is helping pay for our wedding and she said to prioritize the guests that we want, but asked that she can add some of her friends when we get “no”s from ours. She has explained the situation to her friends and all their reactions were like “oh I didn’t expect to be invited! But if you end up having room, I’d love to go!” So like... I get how some situations it could be a delicate thing to do but... for us it’s pretty logical and I don’t think we’re offending anyone

View Quoted Comment Oh we’re not doing a DJ either lol, forgot about that! Our wedding is in the afternoon and neither of us are much into dancing so that’s not the vibe we were really going for... we’re going to do a “first dance” and then we’ll be playing music from a playlist for the whole reception, and our venue has a small dance floor... people are free to dance if they want but if they don’t, we really couldn’t care less lol

View Quoted Comment Omg girl!!

i Literally love the way you think!!

i could not say loud enough how much a smart explanation of a situation will almost always make EVERYTHING not only ok but often be perceived as a special benefit

what someone would call a problem you turned into a special opportunity to cater to guests convenience and comfort and still added in something incredibly unique a person with the photo option

i guarantee they’ve never been to a wedding with a photographer where there was time to be photographed with the happy couple (early when everyone looks amazing TOO)

you are truly amazing!

*bow down*

I wish I had a picture of the Etched Zelda Glasses that I did for FH (Its 8-Bit Link)!

I am wearing the same thing but green! I decide (not as a gift, but because I wanted the girls to match) to buy my girls the shorter length cloaks!

Short Cloak!

View Quoted Comment See? I just don’t see what could be viewed as “wrong” about that

everyone involved knows whTs up and is happy with it so it’s perfect!

View Quoted Comment I definitely think the wedding ones are rude

but I didn’t consider getting something personal for each one

im such a terrible gift giver lol

id rather hand someone cash to get whatever they need or want or pay a bill or buy drugs for all I care

im not very original in that way

View Quoted Comment Exactly!!

your not trying to pawn what you want as something for them either

actually 1 girls excited and cannot wait to get hers... I’m a bit worried lol because I don’t want her wearing and messing something up accidentally before wedding so I’m not “giving” it to her early probably lol

but she can use it for anything after!
