The same questions keep being asked over and over, so let me just consolidate everything into one thread.

Etiquette is not a subjective thing, and it is not a budget thing. Etiquette is a set of very basic rules which, like it or not, dictate any social gathering which you will be hosting. Yes, a wedding is a celebration, but from the second you invite ONE other person aside from you and your FI, you have to follow proper hosting etiquette. You will be the host.

    Thank you!!! I had never even heard of half of the tacky shit that people post on this forum before coming to wedding wire. At least once daily I think to myself, where do people get this shit from?

    Seriously, reading the same questions day after day for months and months gets old. People are quick to jump in because we've already read the book and know the outcome.

    Maybe there needs to be a parallel universe board (oh man, there probably is one on FB....) where everything is just okay because IT'S YOUR DAY!....

    you invite everyone you know via FB. Max guest counts be damned!

    you self cater with all your friends and family cooking after they've decorated

    every vendor is a freindor, because hey, they're free and how bad could they be?

    there are disposable cameras on every table and big garbage bags in every corner for self bussing

    there are no table assignments; the seating is hunger games themed

    the dj is an ipod

    the officiant is a cousin

    the bar is cash

    the bp is fire-able

    there is a wishing well, a dollar dance, a honey fund, a 'who gets the cake smashed' jar and a raffle.

    It's perfect!

    Good to know BRITNEY. You only get upset when you arbitrarily feel left out for no apparent reason. We'll keep that in mind.
