Being that we all have differing styles, I wanted to know something that you saw at someone else's ceremony/reception that was something you just would not do. I'll go first, and I do have a list:
Honeyfunds. It is not my responsibility to pay for your vacation. Either cut the budget or go on your vacation at a later time.
Gifts. No one owes you a gift, so it is not mandatory for them to bring something. However, don't ask for expensive pots if you can't cook. We were invited to my former secretary's daughter's wedding this past January. The least expensive gift on her registry were wash clothes that cost $50 for 2. This is a girl I know hates to do laundry. I purchased a nice card and a $100 gift card to Macy's. Done.
And while we're talking about gifts/cash, it's not my responsibility to reimburse you for the cost of your reception. It wasn't my idea for you to pay $75 for chicken, mash potatoes, green beans and asparagus. It is also not responsibility to help pay for the cost to cut your 6 tier cake.
Second dress. All for it and did. However, if it's not your thing okay, but don't shut down a bride who wants to change into another dress. And just so you know, it's not as expensive as you may think. I was able to get both of my dresses on sale and because I purchased 2 dresses, they gave me 30% off my alterations and 25% off my accessories.
Wedding/Vow Renewal. If a bride had a civil ceremony and then wants a wedding and calls it a wedding, it's her wedding. It doesn't hurt you at all.
I'm sure there are more on my list, but DH and the little ones just came back with ice cream from Rite Aid. Since we're both off tomorrow, we agreed to let the little ones stay up past 9p. We're going to watch The Incredibles 2. Hopefully it will be as good as The Incredibles.
