So I can't have an opinion on how you come across on your posts? From what I can recall having an opinion is not illegal on here.
Why even mention what you did unless you wanted to gain some pitty from us? Just because you are young, and have children, and are paying for things yourself does not make you special. Like I said, many brides on hear are in the same boat as you but you don't here them throwing it around and trying to gain some pitty so we will validate their ideas even if they are rude and against etiquette.
And before this thread is gone why would I thank anyone for advice if they gave it without understanding where I was coming from? That seems pretty ignorant to me. And Like said I couldnt thank each person individually because imposting this from my phone so its a wee bit harder to do that. Most people can take a general "thank you" and know its directed towards them without it having their name plastered on it. Figured the girls I was thanking were that way. and so far they have been

First off you were the one to come off snappy and mean first. A few posters gave you anwers to your questions in a nicely stated way that in no way come off as snappy or rude or whatever it was you called us.
I am sorry that we gave you blunt, honest answers and didn't sugar coat them so that they would go down easier. I'm sorry that I called you out on something and pointed out that you aren't the special little snowflake that you probably think you are and that etiquette should be followed no matter how busy your life is.
If you don't like what I post then don't read it. Or if you do read my posts and disagree with it you are free to ignore it.
But when newbies come on here and start acting snoting and rude you bet your butt I am going to hand it right back to them. I am not a doormat and I am certainly not going to apologize for something that I don't believe was wrong in anyway.
I guess you are only nice to those that validate your ideas and don't ever question anything that you say or write.
um punishing them? how have i punished my guests in ANY way at all? Id be really excited to hear that. And is noone reading anything I had posted from above? I said it thot it seemed rude so if I was right I wasnt going to go that route...

You also said a part of you felt your guests would understand and because of your lead up commentary on the kids and lack of income, we're all forced to assume those are the reasons you feel you guests would understand your major faux pas.

First off im not snotty or rude and im not IGNORING etiquette. HELLO?! thats why i asked in the first place! I thot everyone had snapped at me WHICH I EXPLAINED EARLIER it felt like i was ganged up on when you have someone who doesnt even KNOW you calling you rude for something your trying to figure the answer out for. I never in my life claimed to be a "special snowflake" (which is the stupidest phrase ive ever heard) nor do I (unlike yourself) think im above anyone or anything. I didnt thank anyone for VALIDATING my ideas just those who told me what was up but werent sounding judgemental about it. is that so hard to understand? and HEY heres a thot. Take your own advise. If you dont like my post then dont read it! or write on it! The only question I needed an answer to I got and I just needed it in a manner that wasnt like "omg ur a terrible person for even THINKING that" but hey youve been married already so you know all right? WTF ever dude just move on. you didnt CALL ME OUT on anything because i didnt DO what you supposedly "called me out" on. are you THAT THICK SKULLED? Just because you "arent a doormat" doesnt give yiou the right to be flat out nasty to people who are just trying to get answers. excuse me for thinking that a few girls who may or may not have been there before could give an answer without being just mean. To the people that did THANK YOU. To the people that did that I took as jumping on my case and ganging up on me, My bad and im sorry and thanks for the advise. And to those like maggie here that just want to jump into someones post to be snide to people... i feel for you. the thread should end here cause the question has been answered and all that is going to come from this from here on out is drama from home girl up there so yea. ~fin~

I was one of the first people who commented on your post. And no one called you rude they called what you were thinking of doing rude. Big difference.
Also, unless you want to be banned, I suggest you watch your wording a bit. Calling me "retarded" is not only rude but highly offensive. Someone who uses that word in such a callus way, well it really shows your true colors.
See, all better now. You have a real nerve for getting that way with people then trying to turnit around on them. PATHETIC. like i said ur the only one now whos gonna continue this so go ahead. feel free to lead ur ONLINE SOAP OPERA cause you obviously have a real life to get to.
I was just simply giving you a warning. Offensive name calling is against TKs rules so I could have easily reported you but I didn't because, unlike what you believe, I am not a mean person. I also believe that these boards are very helpful and are useful to newly engaged brides. I certainly learned quite a bit during my planning and I still learn things on a daily basis.
Also, it seems that you enjoy this banter that we have going back and forth because if I am not mistaken in your previous post you said "this thread should end here". So it seems to me that you are the one that wants to continue this online soap opera, not me.

We threw our own and it wasn't cheap. We had a very nice buffet, open beer and wine and we had it at a gorgeous outdoor venue. I feel there is nothing wrong with throwing your own party either, as long as everything is provided for the guests and they are not paying for anything themselves.

First off you were the one to come off snappy and mean first. A few posters gave you anwers to your questions in a nicely stated way that in no way come off as snappy or rude or whatever it was you called us.
I am sorry that we gave you blunt, honest answers and didn't sugar coat them so that they would go down easier. I'm sorry that I called you out on something and pointed out that you aren't the special little snowflake that you probably think you are and that etiquette should be followed no matter how busy your life is.
If you don't like what I post then don't read it. Or if you do read my posts and disagree with it you are free to ignore it.
But when newbies come on here and start acting snoting and rude you bet your butt I am going to hand it right back to them. I am not a doormat and I am certainly not going to apologize for something that I don't believe was wrong in anyway.
I guess you are only nice to those that validate your ideas and don't ever question anything that you say or write.
[QUOTE]um punishing them? how have i punished my guests in ANY way at all? Id be really excited to hear that. And is noone reading anything I had posted from above? I said it thot it seemed rude so if I was right I wasnt going to go that route...

You also said a part of you felt your guests would understand and because of your lead up commentary on the kids and lack of income, we're all forced to assume those are the reasons you feel you guests would understand your major faux pas.
And for the love of Pete, it's thought.

But she is posting from her phone so we as fellow posters should all <u>understand</u> how difficult that could be and not point out the fact that she has difficulty spelling and that it may drive us all crazy to read in text language.
**please note my sarcastic tone in that sentence**

First off im not snotty or rude and im not IGNORING etiquette. HELLO?! thats why i asked in the first place! I thot everyone had snapped at me WHICH I EXPLAINED EARLIER it felt like i was ganged up on when you have someone who doesnt even KNOW you calling you rude for something your trying to figure the answer out for. I never in my life claimed to be a "special snowflake" (which is the stupidest phrase ive ever heard) nor do I (unlike yourself) think im above anyone or anything. I didnt thank anyone for VALIDATING my ideas just those who told me what was up but werent sounding judgemental about it. is that so hard to understand? and HEY heres a thot. Take your own advise. If you dont like my post then dont read it! or write on it! The only question I needed an answer to I got and I just needed it in a manner that wasnt like "omg ur a terrible person for even THINKING that" but hey youve been married already so you know all right? WTF ever dude just move on. you didnt CALL ME OUT on anything because i didnt DO what you supposedly "called me out" on. are you THAT THICK SKULLED? Just because you "arent a doormat" doesnt give yiou the right to be flat out nasty to people who are just trying to get answers. excuse me for thinking that a few girls who may or may not have been there before could give an answer without being just mean. To the people that did THANK YOU. To the people that did that I took as jumping on my case and ganging up on me, My bad and im sorry and thanks for the advise. And to those like maggie here that just want to jump into someones post to be snide to people... i feel for you. the thread should end here cause the question has been answered and all that is going to come from this from here on out is drama from home girl up there so yea. ~fin~

I was one of the first people who commented on your post. And no one called you rude they called what you were thinking of doing rude. Big difference.
Also, unless you want to be banned, I suggest you watch your wording a bit. Calling me "retarded" is not only rude but highly offensive. Someone who uses that word in such a callus way, well it really shows your true colors.
Also, it seems that you enjoy this banter that we have going back and forth because if I am not mistaken in your previous post you said "this thread should end here". So it seems to me that you are the one that wants to continue this online soap opera, not me.

I'm also not sorry for being blunt.
I might be sorry for saying this: but if you're so low on income, maybe you shouldn't be getting married. Or having any more children.

wow ok what is a troll? and Im not SO low income. and dont you DARE say anything about my kids! what kind of people are you?! seriously? TRASH I am ASTONISHED that "LADIES" would ever say anything like this and be this friggin snide! Disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself. My children (which BTW are all I CAN have now because of infertility) are the f*$king WORLD to me. so how dare you... Maybe you should think before you type up stupid reponses like that and think about how the other person on the other end might feel.
[QUOTE]whoa ok guys calm down no need to get snappy with me. if you read on THIS SITE it says that brides and grooms throw their own engagement parties all the time. Now with that being said I understand how it seems rude to ask people to pay for their own dinner I was just VERIFING so please dont think im some bridezilla spoiled brat cause thats far from the case.. geeze i see this so often on this site that brides and past brides are always so snappy and judgemental of eachother. wth?
Posted by kbrothers42[/QUOTE]
We threw our own and it wasn't cheap. We had a very nice buffet, open beer and wine and we had it at a gorgeous outdoor venue. I feel there is nothing wrong with throwing your own party either, as long as everything is provided for the guests and they are not paying for anything themselves.
