[QUOTE]Okay I have one more thing and I'll be a lurker for the rest of the day :) Please don't just say "budget" venue/flower/cake etc.  What does your budget mean?  Give me a range you are looking for.  Budget for you doesn't mean the same thing to everyone.  I told my cousin I was working on a tight budget.  She said she was too and how difficult it was, and come to find out her budget was $40k more than me!... I wouldn't call that working on a "tight budget". So if you ask for "budget" or "budget-friendly" suggestions, please give a number/range you are looking for. On another note, I agree... FFF makes me feel snarky... I'm out.

OMGosh totally agree with you what is budget to one person may not be to another.

Also below is a pic of my plastic china.  I was dead set against it I still dont like it however the cost was almost 3 times more and I would need 2 extra attendants to clear and clean the real china and I was simply out voted by everyone on this topic.  The closer I get the more I am starting to think it may not be such a big deal as I thought it would be.  Dont stress over the small things right.

I think it looks real from the picture... (hopefully this doesnt offend you, just constructive criticism) with the exception of the clear cup, that looks fake to me.

This has been bothering me too lately. I want so badly to AW it up on Facebook some days, but I feel like I will then have to deal with rude-ass people commenting things like "What? You already sent invites out and I didn't get one. Guess I see where I stand."
Yes, you do. We are facebook friends. I am also facebook friends with 200 other people who weren't invited, get over. it.

I'm doing the same thing! I AW'd my wedding website when I first put it together on Facebook... and a girl that I know through a friend (I wouldn't even call us "friends"... just FB friends) actually commented and said "I better be invited."

WTF.  I just ignored it.  People feel entitled.  If I don't get an invite to a wedding, there's probably a good reason why.

Dont worry it takes a whole lot to offend me.  I agree actually and I am working on getting real water glasses and still havent decided on the barware.  I think its just so odd to drink wine out of a plastic cup but my venue, caterer and bartender all says its really common and they never hear any negative comments or eye rolls about it that if its free most wont care, I am still undecided.

This!!  Oh my gosh!  I also rarely mention it on FB.  I randomly talked to one of my childhood friends a couple of months ago.  First time I talked to her in YEARS.  So, I said, well we should hang out soon - since we hadn't seen each other in seriously 10 years.  She said " oh, when's your wedding, I'll make plans and attend".  I was like - Umm, how about not.  We've talked once in the last 10 years and randomly comment to each other on FB.  Why would you think it would be okay to invite yourself?

They really do. I had a co-worker who told me it's just one extra person and she should be invited. Another just sent me her address and goes, "you can send the invite here."

I realized how strange my work place must be, I never thought about all the characters we have here.

Okay, I have 2 more flames...

1. I had a meeting at 11:30.  Some people were going to lunch at 11:15, and I told them I couldn't make it b/c of this meeting.  3 minutes before the meeting, they cancel it.  Now everyone has gone to lunch, and I have to pick something up by myself.

2. I'm disappointed that most people didn't look/comment on my wedding pictures that I posted yesterday.  I know there were a lot, but you could have skimmed them.

THAT, or you want to come drink free alcohol and eat free food.

Posted by cfibelkorn[/QUOTE]

We had a situation with this... Apparently a few months before the wedding, one of my invited guests saw a couple that she thought were friends with DH's family, and told them "So we will seeing you at Kathy and Siavash's wedding right?"... well I didn't even know that couple , but the lady decided to go ahead and call up DH's mom and ask were the invitation was.

Sadly DH's mom never intended to invite them bc they were a casual acquitance, so it put her in an awkward situation to tell them due to space issues, we weren't going to be able to invite them but hopefully we would we get together with them some time in the future.

After that fiasco, I ran in that couple at a couple of random get together thrown by my friend, and everytime I walked by them in the party, the lady kept saying very loudly to her husband " YEP THAT"S THEM! THEY ARE THE ONES GETTING MARRIED", and I would awkwardly smile and nod and walk by. I felt like she was trying to put a curse on us or something. i just wanted to say, "Hey lady, we don't really know you, and we are already short of space, so I am sorry but you are still not invited!"

fallbride1109

Michelle I totally want to see your pictures!  I have it planned for this weekend.    I am just so busy at work.

I will say I much prefer that someone just puts their favorites on their website or posts their photographer's blog.  As much as I love weddings, I don't want to see 800 pictures of one.

And I usually don't post on E-pic threads anymore even when I do look at them.

I think plasticware is ok for a wedding in some situations. I kind of feel though that if you commit to plastic plates, the cups should be plastic as well. I don't know about the utensils. I eat my salad off of a paper plate sometimes but use a real fork. And I hate plastic knives.

Re: People you barely know wanting to come to your wedding and/or inviting themselves.

I've never understood why you would want to sit through all of that for someone you barely know... not mention spend around $50 on a gift.  

I went to a wedding that was a good friend of DH's a few weeks ago and it was an amazing wedding as far as weddings go, but I was bored.  It's not that exciting when it isn't someone your close to.

About my first FFF post today...I just saw on Dallas Morning News this story. I am 98% sure that was the guy that almost hit us when we were going home last night. I am sorry the other person was hit.

So, I flame myself for having a bad day last week and taking it out on the board.  Sorry, ladies!

beecjena08

Oh my, I have missed a lot. Should have logged in earlier.
Anyway i have been waiting for this.
I flame the fake poeple that I work with. They pretend to like someone and then as soon as you turn your back they are  talking about you. I espacially hate they way they do that to the boss. Some of these girls act like her best friend and anyone can tell she likes them a lot. She shares her personal stuff with them and they listen and act like her best friends. As soon as she leaves, they huddle up to talk about her. The same poeple are not even thinking about doing anything for her since she is going to another department. What kind of firends are you all. Not cool at all. I feel sorry for her.

I flame my proffesors for giving me so much work to do. Hey I am a mother, who works full and goes to school full time, a test everyday is just too much.

oops I am out of space
