Wedding Faux Pas?

My best friend didn't serve food at an evening wedding and she didn't come around to thank her guests for coming, she really didn't talk to anyone...

A dollar dance at a huge expensive wedding when the couple and really the whole family are really wealthy. The parents car is likely worth more than our home and they constantly make sure everyone knows exactly how much money they have. They love to name drop and rub it in how wealthy and important they are and yet they had to have people pay to dance with the bride...

Invited to a wedding and it was a buffet reception that she hired and paid a friend to do. Well there was not enough food and the last 2 tables did not eat.

I've seen honeyfunds, cash bars and STD but no invite.

My family still talks about all of them.

Not enough seating for everyone.

And not being told there would only be stations with finger foods at dinner time. My grandmother was taking family photos and didn't get to eat because everyone was hungry so ate up the food, and they stopped serving it before the bridal party got there.

Cash bar.

This was all the same wedding.

I went to a wedding where the ceremony site, the hotel and the reception site were all about 20min away from eachother. The invite said there would be a shuttle. To me the word shuttle means back and forth, so we took our time freshening up before heading to the lobby for the next shuttle. Well, the shuttle never came back, and FH and I, along with about 8 other people missed cocktail hour and announcements while we all tried to arrange other transportation from the hotel itself.

I can't tell you because I'd have to kill you...but since you asked...

Cash bars. Especially sorta cash bars where you can have wine and beer but pay for cocktails. The bartenders were nuts, the guests were confused.

Being outside when it's really hot, really cold or looks like it might rain any minute. Which it does. And you've never seen a harpist move so fast.

Anything that requires money on the day; parking fees, cash bars, dollar dances, raffle tickets at cocktail hour (no, I am not kidding)....

Bad things from one wedding

1. Self catering for 200

2. Honeyfund because why not people should pay for your vacation

3. Outdoor afternoon wedding in the summer in Tennessee

A reception room only filled half with sit down tables and the other half with cocktail tables and no chairs. The tables with chairs had reserved names on them for family members, and the rest of us had to stand the entire night..

Also no thank you cards! We attended two weddings in September and October 2015 and still haven't received one from either! ...are they just not a thing anymore? I couldn't imagine not sending any..

I went to a coworkers' wedding where she apparently invited some coworkers to the ceremony but not the reception. When the other coworkers realized that FH and I had been invited to the reception and they weren't, they were very offended. It was extremely awkward to deal with that during the ceremony.

Serve guests a meal. Make sure there is enough food. I went to a wedding last summer where the meal was the size of a deck of cards. I left to run next door to get Jimmy John's.

My parents went to a second cousins wedding that ended up being a tiered reception. They arrived at the time stated on the invitation and people were sitting down eating dinner. They and the other second stringers had to wait for them to finish.

....where do I even start.

Gofund me page set up for wedding expenses. No seats at the ceremony space (we had to pull over a picnic table for some old ladies). No rehearsal so bridal party had no idea where/when they were supposed to be. Reception was about 35-40 minutes away from the ceremony space. Pizza served from the box and delivery man showed up during speeches. Dj was a family friend who mispronounced everyone's name and went out of order. Reception only went until 5:30pm, but dj was pressuring everyone to dance as if it was a late night club. Drug dealer (I can't make this shit up) came to the reception and gave his "gift" to the bride and groom. Weirdest overall wedding I've ever been to....

Outdoor wedding in August in Las Vegas.... over 100°... then we drove 35 minutes to the reception room which was behind a pizza parlor (no, no... we walked through a kitchen) and they didn't have enough seating for the 30 guests there... Then a 13 year old caught the bouquet (18 and over please) It was all very horrible!

Dollar dance at my best friends wedding AFTER I told her it was a no-no. Also a mistake on the rsvp card that was scribbled out and corrected with RED pen..oh it looked awful! I've been to plenty of cash bar weddings. About half of the weddings I have attended I received thank you cards after.

We were invited via a facebook event and we had to pay for our own dinner.

@Jacqi76 did you know you had to pay before you went or was it a surprise?

I went to one with a honeyfund poem in the invitation and my FH wasn't invited even though we were living together. They didn't come around to thank anyone, either.

I went to one that was hosted consumption bar to a certain limit and then switched to cash. I was the first person that had to pay for a drink. I was like "Well OK give me a long island!" so I got more bang for my buck. I was pretty young at the time, though, and didn't realize how offensive it was. It was New Year's Eve so I was going to be getting plastered whether I paid or not!!

It took 8 MONTHS to get a thank you card for our gift for a wedding we traveled 3 hours and stayed overnight in a hotel room for. Honestly, I think they only sent the thank you after we sent them a wedding invitation...
