"Wedding favors AKA fancy garbage."
"The push for personal vows – some people just aren’t comfortable sharing their raw emotions like that, or maybe they’re not great with words. We umm’d and ahh’d for a long time as to whether to do personal vows or not – my husband is ASD and found it to be a very intimidating prospect. I was fine either way, and we ended up writing short little speeches for each other (he wanted to in the end), but while we were deciding, any one we told were HORRIFIED that we might just be using *gasp* generic vows written by the *gag* celebrant."
"Clear acrylic signs on an easel are so hard to read just get a normal sign."
"When you invite people to a wedding you should see yourself as hosting guests and behave accordingly. Yes it’s your day! But you are also hosts."
"Mother of the bride dresses do not need to be so god damn ugly. Mature doesn’t mean bulky, over done and covered up as a nun in church. Like yeesh, I see everyone selling the same ugly dress it’s almost offensive."
"The chokehold that rhymes have on wedding signage kills me. No hate if you’ve done them, but they give me an ick.
“No need to pick a side, you’re all loved by the groom and bride.”
“A little treat for your dancing feet. Take some shoes and bust a move.”
“Blow bubbles of good wishes as we exit as Mr. and Mrs.”"
"Summer is the worst season to attend a wedding."
"I hope I don’t get murdered for this lol but I 100% believe in reciprocation of time/effort/money I put into someone else’s wedding.
You asked me to drop $500 on a hotel for your bachelorette weekend? Get ready to shell out for my air bnb. You had your wedding in some rural town that I had to drive 3 hours from the closest airport to get to? Yeah I expect you to travel to my wedding. Nothing less than $200 on your registry? I’m gonna judge when you buy the cheapest thing off mine for like $40."
"Justifying having a wedding on a weeknight or in a remote (but cheaper to you) location as “If people love you, they’ll make the effort to come.”
Just because I don’t want to spend over $1k on flights and hotels to to attend a destination wedding don’t mean I don’t love the bride and groom. It means I’m prioritizing how I spend my money and limited vacation time."
"Super hot take: It’s spelled AISLE, not ISLE.
An isle is a little island."
"I’ve never had a wedding cake that I felt tasted even remotely good – and it blows my mind the amount people spend on those things."
"I refused to invite family I didn’t want there. No “obligatory” invites from me. I even went as far as to not invite my mom."
"You don’t need that wedding party of 36 people."
"Stretching yourself financially and having a wedding outside of your means is a terrible way to start your marriage."
"I think it is unfair to put so much pressure on the bride to have her father walk her down the aisle and do a big father-daughter dance. Not every bride has a close relationship with their father."
"I think it’s absolutely mind-blowingly ridiculous to spend so much money on pre-wedding activities. Especially if they complain about other costs.
I see people blowing thousands on engagement parties, bachelorettes, showers, “girls weekends” and all of this and then complaining that their catering cost a hundred bucks more than they expected and I have to admit that they get a bit of side-eye from me."
"Don’t ask women why they’re not changing their names if you’re not gonna ask men too."
"Not every wedding has to have a “rustic” theme."
