I'm not going to have ANY of these things at my wedding.  Will I still be married?

"15 Crucial Items You Need On Your Wedding Day, According To Pinterest" http://www.buzzfeed.com/chanelparks/crucial-items-you-need-on-your-wedding-day-according-to-pi

And yep, this article is poking fun at all of these things-- good for Buzzfeed.  But the comments are hilarious.

I will say that I wouldn't mind a mimosa bar at a brunch (or anytime) wedding

Cookie Pusher

Oh no, I'm not having any of those things either! Dammit, maybe I should just have a do-over after the fact?

JCbride2015

True-- I wouldn't say no to a mimosa under almost any circumstances.

I actually want to get the hanger. I found a vendor on etsy a while ago. I think it's cute and I will most definitely use it after the wedding - I wouldn't buy one for my bridesmaids because I think that's weird. I also plan on doing something similar to mason jars but I'm buying glass vases at the dollar store and wrapping lace around them for centerpieces with only a few flowers on the inside. Very pretty but simple and cheap . . . so maybe not similar to mason jars since those DIY seem to cost a lot. 

And what is with STARBUCKS?!?! I don't live near one so maybe I don't understand but I just see over priced extremely sweet - holy diabetes drinks.

...And not doing the other ideas - though can we just call wild flowers flowers? Most people do some kind of flower arrangement for their bouquet. I see no need to poke fun at that.

I think having one or two of those things for your wedding is totally fine. When you start getting to more than a handful of them, you start heading into the over-zealous-Pinterest-hipster-bride zone...

ChemFanatic25

Yeah, I agree. I realized that while normal people think of wildflowers as a lovely arrangement someone is out there claiming it as their idea and is sooooooo "original".

........ does the girl defending honeymoon funds seriously have the last name "Bourgeois"

I also agree that champagne is the answer. I'm not sure what the question was, but yes -- champagne is the answer.

Also, I LOVE mimosas, and would welcome a mimosa bar. DH made me mimosas on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve for breakfast. 

Otherwise...I use Mason jars as wildflower holders ONLY when the nephew picks "fwowwers" and gives them to me, all sweaty from his grubby little hands, and they're all dandelions and clovers and other weeds, but they're gorgeous to me because they were picked with love by a toddler who is pretty sure I hung the moon.

Starbucks is critical any day of the year. Not just your wedding day.

I was gonna ask WTF a house party is...but I'm guessing from PP that it's like B list bridal party??  And I would happily enjoy a mimosa bar as well.

I have never heard of a house party for weddings. There are way too many parties just to get to the big one.

Following up on OP...you ladies are going to snort your Starbucks through your nose after you get through this one...

I am in corporate training and trying not to snort laughing.

I might die. Best tips? Coat your bridal party in chalkboard paint and throw mason jars at the couple as they exit!

Admittedly, I wouldn't be sad to eat Nutella out of the jar at a wedding or anywhere else.

I like the idea of releasing cicadas. Why do I like the idea of releasing cicadas?

When I ask whether something deep inside me is irrevocably broken, please point me back to this post.

Chipmunk415

@Stitches, don't worry, i chuckled at the idea of releasing cicadas too. But then, I'm also the bride who "accidentally" listed children as a meal option.

climbingsingle

I'm cracking up at the robes! Ugh. So terrible. 

I've never heard of this house party thing either.

Dying laughing at the DIY tips! I'm totally going to have my four year old nephew and all of his pre-k classmates make me hand turkeys for my decorations. Who knew I had an untapped resource right in my own family?

I second that statement. Had a cup this morning! Not sure about wedding day though, it tends to upset my tummy. (TMI, I know!)

MrsDeRuyter87

Buzzfeed for the win!!

JCbride2015

Ah, I could spend so many hours over on Buzzfeed.  It's dangerous.  Those DIY tips cracked me up!  You can solve any decor problem with mason jars and chalkboard paint, right?

easilyunamused

Some of these would never have even crossed my mind. I am sad I didn't have a mimosa bar though. My marriage is a sham! 

CaliMel11

I totally am guilty of the "wildflower" bouquets. That said, we are using some roses too. We just don't really love how all plain roses look.

I also like the word hangers, as ridiculous as they are.

I'd be mad if I had to share my jar, though. IT IS MINE, PRECIOUS.

HisGirlFriday13

I see nothing wrong with eating Nutella out of a jar.

(Says the girl who had a Nutella wedding cake at her wedding, and Nutella cupcakes, and buys the largest jar of Nutella possible every two weeks at the grocery store).

I'm going to be snarky and say sorry nope, not officially married according to Pinterest, good news is you can now have a PPD!
