BUMP

Bump!!

Bump Bump Bump. I would just like to say..I have never had food poisoning in my life until this past Monday and Tuesday. ( Not from self catering but that's not the point)..it was the WORST 48 hours of my life and I do not wish it on my worst enemy. Do not for the love of god make your own food. Unless of course you are trying to have your guests reach their goal weights in warp speed...at least my wedding dress will be loose this weekend. Holy h#ll.

"Poems don't make it cute." Love it. You're not tricking anyone.

1st. People, please do a response other then "bump" as when 90% of the comments are just "bump" I was half tempted to stop reading. 2. I did really enjoy reading this it was straight forward. 3. Now for my question: Everyone seems to base the "no alcohol " statements at people having an evening wedding. Mine is in between lunch and dinner (1230-4). Will be tea foods... being mid morning and not "drinking hours" I was planning on doing no alcohol or just champagne / light alcohol fruity drink. What are thoughts on this?

Laura, most people on here already know all of this, they are typing "bump" so it stays on the first page and new people can see it. As for your situation, I would still offer beer and wine ar your wedding, people still drink in the afternoon. 12:30-4pm is not "mid-morning."

ETA: 12:30pm is most people's lunch time or around there, so most people will probably agree that you should serve your guests a full lunch.

Bea for president. No...really.

There will be finger sandwiches, quiche, fruit/veggies, deserts, and wraps. What I guess I really need answered is does it have to be beer as even the smell makes me sick.. or can it be like magarettas or daiquiris, or some other light alcohol drink and champagne. Or just beer and champagne? As for the "bumb", I know it's to bump the info, but why can't every now and a gain be "good info" or something else... anyways.. sorry, just a quark.

Bea, this is a great post! I'm so glad you and the rest of WW make the effort to keep it on the first page!

@Laura, I think mimosas and another light alcoholic beverage would be fine for an afternoon reception.

I am very sensitive to smells, just walking by it or talking to someone who has had a sip makes my nose crawl and stomach turn...

Sorry, I don't find the Honeyfunds rude at all. We aren't doing a registry because we have everything we need. We feel that if people are compelled to spend money on us, they would want to spend it on something we would enjoy. Our honeymoon is what we want. Make memories for a once in a lifetime trip. I know many think it's rude or uncouth but so is returning a toaster or blender and using the money on something more useful. People don't have to donate if they don't want to. That's the great thing about freewill.

Why isn't this on the first page? It needs to be with all the double ring posts on the first page

Bumping for the first page.

Regarding the alcohol, I feel like I may have mentioned this on another post but anyway - my FH and I are actually in recovery, and are sober. We have no problem providing alcohol, and having drink tickets for the first 2 drinks or something and then a cash bar, or having an open bar for an hour and then cash. I am obviously aware that not everyone is an alcoholic, but me being one I don't need to A) pay $700+ on something I am not partaking in and B) I don't need wasted people running around my wedding (it's incredibly annoying to be a sober person around drunk people). Again, I plan on providing limited alcohol, the rest they can get themselves.

Bumping for bad ideas!

Sarah, please educate yourself on the Honeyfund. You don't get "experiences", you get a cheque. You're not a charity, people shouldn't feel like they have to "donate" to you.
