Getting your guests to honor the most ridiculous dress code is easy. If you lie to them.
Chris Jones 6 years ago
I expect people would probably be better dressed - some of the things people wear to weddings thinking it's appropriate stagger me.

Great idea. The wedding pictures are fun. Also, if they change their mind at the last minute (because they realize they want a different wedding or want to elope or want it on another date or something), they could simply say they just dressed up as bride and groom ;D

It's a picture of the Shakers, a religious movement in America during the 1700s (I think). They all practiced celibacy and women and men could not dance together. They were allowed to adopt children and the kids were raised by the community. I think there are only 2 shakers left in the US

Wedding ceremony seating basics: you are where you belong. And if you're surrounded with children who are at least 20 years young, you are where you belong.

I invited a man, his wife and son to our wedding. They asked if their other son and his girlfriend could come. Reluctantly we said yes. It turns out no one in that group showed up. Oh and they never called with an explanation or apology. We should have sent them a bill especially after asking to add two more people to the party. Grrrrr!

People should be able to attend the ceremony if not invited. But not expect to go to the reception event, where numbers are important for catering. Many people on a limited budget cannot afford to invite ALL their friends for an expensive meal afterwards.

I've been to hundreds of weddings, due to family business and social contacts. Hands-down, the best weddings are the shoestring budget weddings, especially those with potluck receptions. The variety of food pleases all the different pallets, there's usually more than enough food to go around, extra people bring extra food, so that's not a problem, and people are more relaxed and less socially standoffish. Oh, and the bride and groom have more money for a great honeymoon, and down payment on a house, whatever, because they didn't blow it on fancy flowers that will die or a one-use dress that costs half a year's income.

The perks of marrying someone involve having a person to split your life mistakes with.
Marcus Heslop 6 years ago
This meme I s the best one. My wife and I have been happily married for 18 years. We spent a pittance getting married and are still blissfully together. Ironically nearly all the weddings we’ve been to have ended in divorce and they spent a fortune on them. What a waste of money. I like to gloat about this. Marriage is about the love between two people all the rest is just filler. Yes it should be a special day but it doesn’t need to be expensive. Alas a lot of people or shallow, obsessed with status and are materialistic.
Rosie Hamilton 6 years ago
I got married within a week or two of a work colleague. Mine was a simple, low cost affair with only immediate family and best friends.

If someone has an expensive wedding, 9/10 it isn’t even a fraction of “all their money.” I do think super expensive weddings are dumb, but spending a few grand on the biggest party you’ll ever throw isn’t a big deal if you have savings and careers and parents helping.
Liam Walsh 6 years ago
People frequently spend more money than they have on weddings - borrowing to achieve the 'wedding of their dreams'. My eldest sister had a fairly big expensive 'dream' wedding. She says it all seems a blur now, that she didn't get to talk to everyone she wanted (but several she didn't) and couldn't remember the food they had. It might also not be the biggest party you'll ever throw either. People always think their marriage will last, of course, but when around 50% don't survive that's not great odds to be spending thousands on. It's usually the number of guests that cause the costs to rocket so if you don't know someone that well why on earth do you want them to be at your wedding? It's a very personal thing to do - declare your love and commitment to each other. I think people forget it's a marriage first and foremost.

My husband and I had each done the big wedding before, so we decided to just have fun. We sent party invitations, rented a pontoon boat with a grill in back, had hamburgers, salads, and a sheet cake. Everyone was required to wear proper attire—jeans or shorts. We had a great time, and we’re still married and crazy as ever after 20 years!
Enuya 6 years ago
That is one thing which I really do not understand. So many preparations, so many - let's say it - wasted money - just for one day. What do you have from it? Crowds of disliked family members which you just HAD to invite, tons of stress and bunch of awkward photos. Also, few quarrels with your family and a huge hangover, if you're particularly unlucky. Yet, people feel *obligated* to throw a big party. Really, what is so wrong in small dinner and/or dancing with only friends and closest family members? Is that a reason to be ashamed?

I had an adult only wedding-almost everyone came 100 invited, 95 attended and this was 13 yrs ago. I suspect it's more common now.To each his own. People don't have to attend if the can't or are offended. It was OUR big day-& wanted people to celebrate w/ us if they could make it. The reasons were for some stated here already, noise during vows, etc. And also, we were on an extreme budget. You are charged per head. If someone brings their child, & they don't eat their meal (as kids often don't) we would be charged regardless. More than one venue told us this & I would expect that anyway. Everyone does their wedding how they want it to be.

I used to work at a fabric store, and I never understood why people use burlap for weddings. It sheds everywhere, and bolts are treated with formaldehyde. Not only does it stink, but it's bad for you too! If you MUST go rustic, use muslin or osnaberg, and off-white lace. You get a similar effect that won't cause breathing problems.

My sister ordered her cake from a place that was highly recommended. The specialized in "edible monuments". It was truly lovely in design, very simple yet classy. I got to the reception before her and saw this monstrosity they had delivered. It had white icing with bright BLUE roses cascading down the side. And I do mean cascading - September in Seattle in usually really humid and the flowers were literally melting off this cake. She took it like a champ and we just dealt with it. The cake itself was awful. It took 3 months (and 2 days of picketing outside the bakery) to get her money fully refunded. They have since gone out of business.
