Wedding Wire people say ...

B list = bad

Friendors = very bad

cash bar = the badest

dollar dance = even more bad

honeyfund = the most badest of all

lol but seriously WW is full of tons of great advice!

oh also I told my sister about the saying "NO is a complete sentence" and now she constantly says it to me so thanks a lot WW lol

Invite rules:

1. Intimate ceremonies should be immediate family only. Never play 'pick your favorites' with extended family and friends.

2. Bridal shower invites should only be given to those invited to the event

3. Everyone invited to the ceremony should be invited to the reception

4. Do not invite more people than you can accommodate. If necessary, have an A and B list. But make sure you're not caught. Cuz rude.

View Quoted Comment I am cracking up at your comment lolllll

Might I say something on the matter of the first item in the post?

Tbh, I don’t really consider it rude, say if you’re already living with your man/woman before the wedding (like I am now with my fiancé) and you already have a lot of stuff in your home, you don’t really need a bunch more actual gifts and half of them you probably won’t use and end up either selling or regifting.

Yes! I completely understand as my husband's parents got married in a courthouse and later had a celebration which is customary in the Philippines. What I don't agree with is what Kenisha mentioned with the couple not being honest. My husband and I know a couple who eloped (we're one of the few that know they did), and they say their actual wedding will be in a few years when everyone comes together for the celebration - makes it sound kinda deceiving :/

View Quoted Comment LoL @ being blackballed!!! You are so right!! LoL

View Quoted Comment We are getting help we did have a plane N just go a court house wedding with intimate family if not. My fiancé’s family does not make a lot so fiancé amd o are doing pizza and beer for rehearsal dinnrr. My dad and his wife who are paying for a lot and doing cupcakes were not happy. She kept asking what his parents thought. She did. It seem to understand they wetr not helping.

I'm sure you've read elsewhere, the idea is just not to register. That way the only option is to give you cash. Otherwise, I partially agree with you. It's all about reading your crowd. Some people will find it tacky, others won't care.

I'm in a similar situation as you. I've lived with my FH for 4 years, but I wouldn't be able to ask for cash as about 1/4th of our guests would find it rude.

View Quoted Comment Yeah that type of thing is definitely a problem... along with phrases like "actual wedding" because a courthouse is a wedding for a lot of people and its rude to dismiss that. What I dont like is shaming people for wanting both or imposing rules on them for what they are allowed to have at their celebration. It sounds like this is a bit of a cultural thing as well, which I didnt realize. It's kinda cool to hear about other cultures traditions.

Exactly!! I know plenty of other couples who eloped then celebrated later, or just eloped, and regardless of how extravagant it is, it's a special day!

I did real and fake (my bouquet was real because it came with my package otherwise it probably wouldn't have been) I have seen some fantastic fake flower bouquets! I just gave my girls 1 dinner plate Dahlia and they looked amazing! (and literally minimal effort except for cutting off the price tag which I forgot to do until about 20 minutes before we were walking down the aisle HAHA)

Sounds practical to me!

View Quoted Comment This was one of the first things we decided - we would not hire any friends. We had several offers for photography and music from friends and acquaintances, but I’m glad we didn’t book any of them. It makes it so much harder if something doesn’t go well if the vendor is a friend. Both my fiancé and I have family members who weren’t happy with a “friendor” so we chose to avoid!

That costs more than my dress omg lol that made my chest hurt!

LOL! See, nice and easy and you saved so much money!

View Quoted Comment Lol these are good ones

View Quoted Comment I had never heard of the dollar dance before here lol

View Quoted Comment Hmmm. I don’t agree with #4. I think the general consensus is that you should NOT do a B list because it’s rude.

View Quoted Comment Hey Chelsea. I don’t necessarily agree with the items I posted. I was saying that those statements were the general consensus that you’ll find on Wedding Wire.
