In Response to Re:What do I call the girls in my house party?: think it's a Texas thing, and maybe it just transferred over for me from there I have family there. It wasn't MY idea. I didn't invent this.If you think it's bad, good for you. I really couldn't care less, so I don't see the point in telling me when I nbsp;never asked for an opinion.

[QUOTE]It takes a deeply ugly soul to attack someone's wedding photos just because you disagree with them. That ugliness tends to leak all over and stain everything. You are going to get banned at this rate for being as nasty and mean as you claim we've been. We used logic and reason, you used hateful slurs.

Ditto all of this. Please go over to weddingbee and have people validate your terrible ideas and insult their wedding dresses.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re:What do I call the girls in my house party? : Oh please, protect me? Call it what you want.  And just because you and 10-20 people don't agree with me means I am wrong?  I can EASILY find 40 people that say your wedding dress is horrible and those scarves on your bridesmaids are so UGLY... does that mean that I'm right then? Would you have changed it? I doubt it.. I know my friends and I know them well... YOU do NOT! Once again, like I said on my thread, if you didn't have helpful words then don't respond. And really WHY are you still on a wedding forum? It's been almost a year since your wedding.. maybe you should stop being a wedding junkie... yours is OVER, let people have theirs the way the want :)

[QUOTE]I am 49 years old. My parents and I were born in Texas, but my mother's family comes from Alabama and Arkansas and my father's family is Mississippi Choctaw and New Orleans Creole.  I'm also married to a minister, and come from a church family - in other words, weddings are a business for us. I NEVER HEARD OF THIS HOUSE PARTY **CRAP** UNTIL JENNA BUSH DID IT. It's not a "southern" thing.  <strong>(The Bushes, by the way, are transplanted Yanks. They've only been in Texas for a generation.)</strong> GUEST "includes" people who can't be in the wedding party.  People are quite willing to accept this, because they know a bride can't have everyone she'd like to have as bridesmaids because she wouldn't HAVE guests if she had all her females friends and relatives as bridesmaids. Bridesmaid, flower girl, Maid of Honor, Matron of Honor and reader (and perhaps a singer) are pretty much the limit, unless one is Catholic, and then I believe there are candle lighters and gift bearers. After that a bride is just making things up to create meaningless "runner-up" slots and busywork, and the friends know it.  It looks silly. Saya, you do not have the right to dictate how people can respond, or ask them not to post. This is a forum of adults.  Adults do not tell each other, "I didn't ask you if...."  That's what adults do to children, so you need to go ask for advice in a daycare instead of post on The Knot if you want to do this.   You ask for opinions by posting. You will get advice you "didn't ask for" and with which you will not agree. If you can't cope with that like a grownup then the internet probably isn't the best place for you.
Posted by RetreadBride[/QUOTE]

Why is this relevant? I'm just asking? As a "yank", with family living in the south, I'm not offended, but feel this was meant to be derogatory?

For the record, the OP is a horrific brat. I agree with NOTHING she has said. I would also like to add, that as someone who reads more than she posts, I think Addie is extremely sweet(nicer than I would be most of the time), and her wedding pictures I have seen are beautiful. No photographer will be able to hide how ugly OP's heart is on film.

I live in Houston, and I have to say that I just heard of a "house party" a few weeks ago when I attended a friends wedding.  She had told me that another friend I was riding with to the wedding had to arrive early because she was in her "house party", I immediatly thought "Oh, wow, I didn't know XXX was the life of the party!"  

The term "house party" is something I've always heard in referene to a party at someone's house!  My "house party" friend put on a smile while she handed out programs and passed out pens for others to sign the guest book, but she was miserable.  She would have much rather spent time with friends as a guest than having duties to do! 

If you would like to honor your friends - mention them in the program, ask them to do a reading - or just let them know how special they are to you in another way.  Although they may smile and act like they would love to be in your "house party" - I'm willing to bet that not all of them feel the same way.  They will talk and laugh when you aren't around, because this is not a great idea. 

I'm new to TK forums, and I don't post often, but I live in the south and this is not a common tradition!  Just trying to help prevent you from making a poor choice simply from not knowing any better.

In Response to Re:What do I call the girls in my house party?:[QUOTE]I didn't mean that as an insult to our northern sisters. Husband is a Yank, by the way..... I added it only because she claims house parties are a southern thing.nbsp; Jenna Bush started this nonsense. Jenna was born in Midland, Texas, but isn't really a southern gal, and neither is her family.nbsp; She tried to pass it off as "southern."It's also worth noting that Jenna had only her sister as her attendant, and her fiance had one attendant. She could have had her friends if she had really wanted them, so I suspect she got hung up on the "even sides" BS and the fiction of "inclusion." Hence the bogus "house party" and the "southern custom." Posted by RetreadBride[/QUOTE]

No harm done. I don't agree with this practice, or justifying plans based on geography. Just seemed that you were condemning them for being "transplant yanks". Thanks for clarifying.

First IAmTheFatherOfTheBride, now this.  All this fodder for FFF!

banana468

Oh boy.

All of this because people "can't" be in the bridal party.

OP, what I'm not understanding is why you *can't* have these people in the bridal party.   Please help those of use who aren't getting it.

GOD you are MEAN.

I'm totally late to this, but why not do something like I am doing: I am having my 2 sisters as bridesmaids, but they can wear whatever they want to, but will be the ones standing up with me. My 3 best friends will be invited to get ready with me, we are beauty therapists/make-up artists/hair dressers, and always getting other brides ready, so I thought it would be fun to do it ourselves. My friends don't have a "title", and are under no obligation to come get ready with me/do anything. They can then get picked up from the central location by their partners/taxi/whatever, and then be regular guests. 

We just enjoy spending time together/getting ready together, so IF THEY WANT they can come the morning of. But also my 2 sisters have no bridesmaid responsibilities except to turn up, so hopefully my friends wont feel like "not good enough to be a bridesmaid". But please anyone know if they think I am being rude? I also like the idea of getting them a corsage.

So anyway OP, why don't you invite them (only if them want) to get ready with you, then you can spend time with them the morning of, but then they can just be normal guests?

"But please anyone know if they think I am being rude?" No, tesskerr, I don't think you're being rude.

You bumped a five month old thread to call us rude? Are you kidding me?

There is no way that all these newbies are resurrecting these threads JUST to validate these OPs. Either they're wandering over from WW to stir shit or it's the same person.
