40 Wedding Guests Call Out Things That Couples Do That Are Inconsiderate To Them

There's a reason the term "bridezilla" exists. It's one day and it belongs to both of you. The "me me me!" entitlement drives me nuts too.

This should be way higher. I think it's ok if a couple does this without the expectation that everyone will come, but doing it and expecting people to shell out thousands so they get a discount on their wedding is selfish and tacky.

Yep, if I am paired with people that I don't know, especially if the other people know each other and are having a conservation, I am just going to sit there quietly and listen. Unless someone brings something up that I am truly interested in.

Bachelor and bachelorette parties are so stupid, a lot of people get drunk and stupid and cheat. A lot of weddings get cancelled because of it when the other person finds out. Or the marriage ends when they find out.

Small wedding, nice honeymoon, down payment on house.

And for pity's sake, do not have an early evening wedding if you aren't going to serve anything but cake at the reception.

If my boyfriend and I do get married, the wedding will be me constantly singing"THERE'S HYDROGEN AND HELIUM AND LITHIUM BERYLIUM!" and my boyfriend groaning and having to sit down becuase, seriously justagirl, you've been singing that damn song for YEARS.

rich people putting $1000 baubles on their registry. how gross.

It's usually because they don't want your specific plus one

You don't need to take that long or that many pics

W***y nilly?

Childfree is fine as long as it's local and everyone's going home after the party. If parents have to get a hotel room to be there, that's when the happy couple need to look into hiring professional childminders at a nearby location where parents can easily check in.

The best wedding dinner music I've ever experienced: One very talented pianist, playing classic love songs. Spare me from DJs!

Hate to say it but the ones where one side of family speaks a different language … every speech has to be translated.. skeletons were found in their seats by end of it.. over 2 hours

My dad paid for my brother's and his wife's honeymoon... at the same location our parents honeymooned. My bro and his wife were cringed out and were very ungrateful. But it's like, it's a paid for honeymoon and it's not like our parents are going to be going along with them, or that there's going to be weird bedroom photos of them sitting around the resort.

I remember when it was a trend to have beta fish in vases, and the idea was to give the fish to the guests as a wedding favour. Like everyone wants fish to take care of because they went to a wedding.

My brother had milkweed seeds in biodegradable paper. So people could plant them. The wedding had a monarch butterfly theme.

We did cupcakes- not wedding cake, just cupcakes that people could take at any point through the night. We had gelato for our late night bar, so most people didn't have a cupcake until they were leaving anyway.

My cousin gave mini bottles of Jack Daniel's as a favor. Very well received lol

Favors at a wedding I went to were matches with sparklers attached. The matches read: A perfect match.

We had a Dr. Seuss themed wedding and our favors were swedish fish (you know, 1 fish, 2 fish) and gummi worms because they needed bait.

i gave vanilla scented candles in glass jars and just added an elasticated tag to them... were very popular (the were 'fights' over them) and not too much fuss to create

What I’ve seen from Experience- complete lethargy afterwards.. nothing now to focus on

Or vice versa, having the wedding outdoors in the middle of summer when it's known to get super hot, and not allowing anyone inside because you're afraid to get your floors dirty and people will see your bathroom. Get a grip, or plan your wedding at a venue with both indoor and outdoor areas, where guests can cool off when they need to.

Just give me a plate of fries

This is fine as long as you are upfront with the guests in advance… so they can hit a drive through on the way, or after…

Any holiday wedding IMHO. People want to celebrate that holiday, not you.

No you don't, one doesn't "HAVE " to attend necessarily.

A short speech is a good speech. A bride whose wedding I attended , her father had passed. Her uncle gave her away.. before dinner he said, I’m Not a man of many words, we appreciate you being here and let’s toast my niece and her hisband ( words to that effect) best speech ever. 2 mins and it was heartfelt and genuine and no stupid jokes

This is oddly specific.

I’d rather go to the reception than the wedding

Nothing wrong with the first dance. That’s silly.

This is usually why there's a hotel room where people have alcohol. An alternative is wrap up a box of wine and have it under the table.

I think OP forgot to mention bored? /s

Unless the couple is rich or planning a very low-key wedding they can afford on their own, there's definitely others footing the bill.

Or excluding someone when an entire group or department is invited. This happened to me once and I didn't even know it because everyone had decided it was better not to tell me. I knew the person was getting married that spring but they were never specific about the date. I only found out I wasn't invited because one of the other managers stopped by my office to tell me to keep an eye on things. I must have looked confused because she said I was the only manager not going to (names) wedding. It floored me because these were people I hung around with all the time. It still hurts.

Or playing music for only one age group so others never get to dance.

Never heard of this

Wedding breakfast?

Eh?

Say that again, and again, and again.

The wedding register is traditional. Requesting money is new, but these are changing times, and changing attitudes.

As an event producer— this is incorrect. Round tables allow for more engagement between all guests. Centerpieces should not obstruct views though. No arrangements taller than a toaster is a good rule of thumb.
