Wedding Wire people say ...

View Quoted Comment Hey Gabrielle. I’m glad you like my post! I completely agree! Wedding Wire is its own entity lol 🤣

View Quoted Comment Hey Joetta. Don’t get me wrong - Wedding Wire has definitely helped me a lot concerning planning. I’ve found my videographer, photographer, and MUA through here.

I’m in the same boat as you. I did have a honeyfund. Originally I did think it was a good idea. After reading on here, I realized I didn’t like the premise of it and got rid of mine.

It's your wedding....do it your way!****

Unless, of course, you are offending a guest in anyway, annoying a guest in anyway, requesting anything from your bridal party or doing something different outside of the norm that is not acceptable to a particular person or leaves them feeling unsatisfied about your decision....If you do any one of these things, dont expect anyone to even show up!

I think it's fine to accept help if people offer but it's good advice to never expect it. There are a ton of posts on here from people upset because their bridal party isn't reaching out to help them plan when that's not their job. It's the job of the 2 people getting married and anyone they pay. Also. If you're asking people to be in your wedding party so you can utilize their talents or because of anything else they can do for you then you're missing the point of having bridesmaids/groomsmen.

This is so funny I love this post 😂 basically sums up this entire site in a nutshell hahaha.

-Bridal party must all be given a +1
-You have to invite every guest’s SO regardless of how long they’ve been together

Did anyone mention those yet,

View Quoted Comment Well that's different. How will he be able to enjoy one of the best days of his life if he's working? I'm sure he's a great chef but to each their own 🤷

Ry.
He will enjoy. Food prepared the day before !! And we have a staff.. Enjoying our day will not be an issue..

View Quoted Comment God forbid you ask your bridal party for help! They’re only supposed to show up on your wedding day. That’s it!

View Quoted Comment According to WW, the only point in having bridesmaids/groomsmen is for them to show up to your wedding.

View Quoted Comment Hey Gen. I’m glad you’re enjoying my post. Yes everyone gets a +1 because you cannot determine the seriousness of someone else’s relationship - you know, they’ve been together for a week and they’re in love!

View Quoted Comment I’m sure you and your fiancé have planned it out. Enjoy your wedding day!

View Quoted Comment Hahaha yes, and with that explanation too!

Theres so much great advice on here but I hate these overarching policies on etiquette because while they may be true for most situations, they are not necessarily true for EVERYONE’S specific situations.

ie “asking for money.” my friend confronts me and says “are you having a registry?” I said yes. She says “do you actually want me to shop from your registry or would you rather me just write you a check?” Then she mentioned it’s easier for her to just write a check anyway, but she just wants to make sure if that’s what we’d prefer. What am I going to do? NOT say yes? Lol. It’s all so subjective!

View Quoted Comment Well no. WW says that that's all your bridal party is expected to do but the point of asking them is because you want your nearest and dearest to stand beside you on your day. They're honoring you by doing so.

View Quoted Comment I completely agree. I’ve started writing “you know your crowd better than I do ...” because what may be common in your area may be considered crazy or rude around my area.

View Quoted Comment Ohhhh okay thanks for clearing that up for me.

View Quoted Comment Totally. I find it’s good to give advice without acting like your advice is the only possible way to do it without being considered a poor host!

OH another one: you have to start your ceremony at EXACTLY the time on your invite because it’s rude to keep guests waiting. Even 5 minutes.

View Quoted Comment This is so patronizing. You asked what people on WW say and K answered.

Do you only like responses that make fun of etiquette?

View Quoted Comment Is there ever a way to make everyone happy on here?!

View Quoted Comment No problem. While I agree that ww can be too rigid on some things I also think that some people use, it's my day, as an excuse to not treat their guests well. The reason you see the same advice on here is because you should be providing a meal at meal time, or offering some type of free booze, or not treating your bridal party like free staff, and inviting people's significant others. I also think that people use, etiquette is regional, way too much to actually be helpful. If something is common in your area then you don't need to turn to internet strangers to ask how to pull it off.
