Wedding Wire people say ...

View Quoted Comment Exactly this. I’m sitting there looking at my phone like 🤨 excuse the hell out of me but what? I read earlier that your bridal party should just show up ( not help you with anything ) because it’s an honor to you to have them in your wedding - not the other way around 🤬🤯

View Quoted Comment I don’t think that’s snobby at all! I don’t believe some of the people on here when they say crap like that.

BAhahhahahaaha!!!! Precisely!!!!

Are you saying these common pieces of advice are things you don’t agree with?

I just would like to put on here, that I think this post was meant to be very helpful and positive. Unfortunately it turned snarky rather quickly.

Stock the bar parties are not "tacky." How is that any different from registering for your pots and pan and vacuum you want??? If you're not comfortable gifting the couple a bottle of wine or liquor than feel free to stay home.

Asking for monetary gifts is not "tacky." It may not be your style, it may not be okay in you're eyes, but you don't make the rules. The bride and groom do for their wedding day. If you want money, ask away! Just know you may offend some people.

And for the love of god can we just eliminate the word "tacky" all together!? Because it is said FAR too often on this page. I am not doing either of these things, but that doesn't mean that I think it is the worst thing in the world. Extend some grace and kindness.

View Quoted Comment I was asking others to post things that people on Wedding Wire love to say.

View Quoted Comment Ditto on the honeymoon fund comments. Turned me right around when I saw people getting yelled at lol and we just didnt do a registry at all. Worked out perfect

View Quoted Comment Lol 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing!

My favorite is when women get shamed for whatever reason and they are being told that it's "bad etiquette". When in reality etiquette is a social norm. So what's socially normal where I live might not be socially normal where you live. But shaming someone into believing that that can't do something is bologna.

View Quoted Comment I’ve started saying “you know your crowd better than I do” for those reasons. For example, I may not think a cash bar is a good idea but maybe that’s the norm where you’re from.

It's rude to tell people they can't bring a plus one

Do not put on your invite/std's that children are not invited

I LOVE this Kenisha!

Totally agreeing with everyone else about the top things said on these forums.

This goes along with bridal party expectations (to only show up), but there's always the should I demote/ fire my MOH/ Bridesmaid post?

And not as often/ frequent, but every once in a while there's a post about "____ said they would give us $___ and they never did and now we can't afford our wedding, help!"

View Quoted Comment Oh well, I’m rude. No +1’s at my wedding. You’ll be okay. I didn’t put it on either but it’s on my wedding website; no kids people! Lol 🤣

That it’s your day so do whatever you want

View Quoted Comment You said that was easier said than done Alyssa!

View Quoted Comment I don’t think it’s snobbish but i also think you have to know your crowd

if everyone is hours away away it can be hard for them to do a lot even when they want to

i didnt expect any help and extra time because I chose to get married the Monday after thanksgiving lol

i think it’s ridiculous for people who “hang out” with their wedding party all the time that they would not do stuff before together for the wedding

By far the best post I’ve ever read on here. I’m dying 😂

I totally agree with everything mentioned on here but I have to say my make up artist was a personal friend of mine ( he’s a professional make up artist and I wouldn’t feel right giving my money to someone else when I could say support my friends business ) I did sign a contract with him and paid full price ... the lead singer of the band we had is a friend of my husbands ( we paid them and a hefty tip also signed a contract ) and my cousin ( whose also a professional DJ) did the MCing and ceremony music ( also paid and tipped him.. asked for a contract but he wouldn’t give me one )
