What is the one rule of wedding etiquette you wish all brides would acknowledge?
I am not a stickler for rules, and what is proper HOWEVER, I do feel that there are areas of good form and simple decency that may get overlooked at the expense of being “non traditional”
EXAMPLE: I recently attended a reception for someone who had a destination wedding. I thought it was great that they were able to get married on the beach BUT they had only invited 8 people to the wedding. I get that destination weddings are small- BUT she invited over 100 people to the reception, wore a huge wedding dress and had the nerve to include registry info in her invites.
I was very happy and excited for them, and wanted to go to the reception- had contemplated a gift. BUT- to actually request gifts from people you didn’t even invite to the wedding? NO NO NO.
What do you think?
What is the one thing that annoys you?
The big dress thing, I added that b/c she really wanted everyone to act as though it were a normal reception, that had just followed a ceremony…which none of us were invited to. I like her- she’s a bit of a princess though- I thought it was just odd that she posted huge pictures of herself everywhere in the gown AND whore the gown- it was evident the party was her way of being a total princess. I don’t think that is what a party after your destination wedding is supposed to be. (just me though. maybe I’m wrong)
