This has been trending on my Pinterest. Gag.

That one's been around for awhile. Yuck.

This one and another one where he has her dress lifted to just below her butt cheeks--- not sexy! Why would you want a sneak peak of the wedding night in your photo album?!?!

And who posted all these damn pics on the internet anyway? Sheesh

I don't know if anyone posted this yet... but anything with "thank you for raising the man of my dreams" makes me gag.  I can just imagine the eyebrow raise I'd get out of my FMIL if I gave this to her, along with an awkward "Oh.... how nice." (She's awesome, btw).

An even worse one!

Hah! My FMIL is great, and she'd love this. I, on the other hand, would never give it!

We'll probably going to write FFIL a nice card before the wedding thanking him for welcoming me into the family and for being so supportive of the decisions FI has made... but yea, not including the gift things. They're just a bit too much for us. Besides, FFIL would much rather have a nice BB&B gift card instead anyway. Such a practical man he is.

I would do something like this in the form of heartfelt note, maybe. I am very grateful for my FI and I want to thank his parents for helping make him who he is. But cutesy poems trigger my gag reflex.

See, initially I really liked the FMIL gifts that I see popping up on etsy and pinterest. But only when I hadn't seen 1038571895 pins and posts of them. Now they just don't seem genuine at all. My FMIL isn't internet savvy enough to be browsing pinterest and realize my very "heartfelt gift" is mass produced for many other FMILs around the country, but I would probably feel a little silly for doing it. Do FMILs generally expect these types of gifts??

These mason jar shot glass (seriuosly?!) are apparently oh so much fun for the groomsmen! My SO wouldn't be caught dead taking shots from these ridiculous little things. The mason jar trend needs to die.

Cookie Pusher

I might use these at a cookout or something super casual, but I can't see using them at my wedding.

Geesh... I bought my uncle a set of those for Christmas because he collects shot glasses. They were UK mason jar shot glasses. ETA: I'm using blue mason jars and jelly jars as center pieces at my wedding. It isn't something I would normally do but they are antique and my great grandmother gave them to me.

Really over the cutesy signage. And getting big blowups of your boudoir pics is weird.

Eh, my wedding will be semi "trendy" but I could care less. FI & I like these components whether they are "in" or not. I'm having mason jars as centerpieces and lining the aisle on shepherd hooks. Some of the mason jars are decorated with fabric, some lace, some twine, some burlap. I also don't care what burlap was used for forever ago. Number 1, I'm not covering my wedding in burlap, there will be small touches. Secondly, if it had been satin or lace that clothed mourning people I doubt I'd feel differently about those fabrics. We just personally like the way it looks.

I think boudoir pics in general are weird.

My photog just said that to me this weekend... apparently brides ask the point of contact for boudoir photos, but her husband is the photographer. She always shuts them down. "My husband isn't taking pictures of any lady in her underpants!"

FiancB

FI asked that I get them, so I am, and I think it'll be fun. I keep seeing pics of people's bedrooms with huge blowups of them in their underoos, though, and that's where I draw the line. It's like a shrine to themselves.

If your FI wants it, that's cool.  I personally know my FI would want a more practical gift, and to surprise him in that sexy teddy when he gets home instead of pro pics of me in it. Not to mention we would never display these pictures anywhere as we have a son. Even if we didn't... not sure I'd hang these anywhere lol

I have mixed feelings about what I'm reading here.

I do not like burlap, but I can see where it fits for some people.

I'm also guilty of pinning a lot of things and to an outsider, it may seem like I have unrealistic expectations or that my style is all over the place. Really though, I pinned a lot of hair styles to help myself while I'm deciding what I want. I pinned an expensive dress, to which a friend said it didn't look like "me." But I pinned it because I liked the hair style of the bride. I hope no one reads too much into my board. It can look like a hot mess.

I agree that it's weird that little teen girls are pinning for their dream wedding, but I have talked about my dream wedding since I was their age. I just didn't have Pinterest.

I hate anything suggesting that only one person wants to get married. Those cake toppers would make me uncomfortable.

And while I get that some people don't like gun related things, our cake topper will have the bride and groom holding small guns. My boyfriend picked it out. He really loves guns, so it works for us. Some people won't like it, and some people won't like that he will have partly pink hair or that the groomsmen will have multi colored hair either. We can live with people not agreeing with our taste.

Molly&Domenic I'm not into guns but I think your cake topper is pretty cool idea. If that's what you're into, that's what you're into. Also, your bridal party with multicolored hair is gonna look pretty damn awesome!

Thank you! I am happy with the choices we have made.
Mostly I'm happy with my choice of groom. He's hot.

I like unique wedding toppers.  I just don't like ones that show either the bride or groom being dragged to the alter or trying to run off or whatever.

H and I considered a gun wedding topper, but the only ones we could find had the B & G in hunting clothes (we wanted them with guns but in wedding clothes) or the bride with her skirt slit all the way up above her garter and I did NOT want that one.

MollyandD

Yeah the one with the slit is the one I got. Haha. I can see how it would bother you though. We love it for us.

I really had to laugh at this one...hard! My FI did all but one I appreciate it though he didn't have to he went through a lot of trouble he is just really out there so I knew it wasn't just going to be me and him just on the couch him popping the question you know.

I get so angry and yell at whoever is within range (or just to myself) when I see the 6 Rules (because you don't get to make the rules!!) and the crying fiancé/husband one.  Really?  Don't get me started on this whole new "entitled" trend....

These.  

A) My mom would slap me if I gave this to her and tell me to get my sh*t together (not really, but she's not the overly-emotional type).

Yeah, I love my Dad but I think it strange with all of this "He's the first man I loved."

Yup. I personally find those dad things to be REALLY creepy sounding and awkward. I would never, ever in a million years dream of giving my dad one of those.

The nightstand pics make no sense to me. Doesn't he have you sleeping right there next to him? What's he need the picture for he's got the goods right there?!

Why, in case he brings another woman home, of course!

@kasmith1 @GlitterWitch22 Hahahah...  I have to tell this to people all the time, too.  A theme?  Really?  We have to have a theme?   That's fantastic if it can work for some couples, but I think you walk a very fine line between being cute and being cheesy.  FI and I are both musicians, so everyone thinks we're DEFINITELY going to have a music-themed wedding.  Not so!  We're having a wedding themed wedding, with good music of course (;

misscoffeeplease

This is not cute. Why is this even a trend?
