Wedding Date Reveal

TAS2U · April 2013

I know people do baby gender reveal parties but I was wondering if anybody done a wedding date reveal just for the parents and future in laws. If so, what did you do?

I'm open to any ideas. I want it to be creative and cute.

Like.. to tell them you are engaged? Or they already know you are engaged and you are throwing a party to reveal the date? Either way, congrats and happy planning!

You just want to reveal the date of your wedding? I personally think a huge shindig to reveal the date of your wedding would be really AW (but FWIW I also feel that way about gender reveal parties). You should just tell your loved ones what date you settled on. Did you want to get their input on the date first anyhow to make sure your VIP guests can attend on that date?

No...no date reveal parties.

1) That would be somewhat lame.
2) A phone call or dinner together can do the trick.
3) Don't throw a party in your honor.

Yeah...that is really AWish. Your wedding date is not something to make a grand announcement of.

Uh......... no.

Don't do it. You will be SO DISAPPOINTED by their reaction.

All I did when we finalized a date was send an email to my parents and siblings saying "save the date." Save the date cards were sent out to more people eventually, but throwing a party because you picked a date is definitely over the top. Also for what its worth, I feel this way about gender reveal parties as well.

Op, first I would like to thank you for making something up that I have never heard of before in my life. That is very impressive.

Second, just don't. Things like this are not only AWish they are completely pointless and dumb.

I also hate any type of "reveal" party. Why is a party necessary? So you found out you were having a boy, great. You can call me on the phone or post a pic of yourself with a message saying "It's a Boy!" on Facebook. Same with your wedding date. Great, you picked one. Send me a STD or text it to me.

But if you do decide to have an incredibly pointless party, just make sure there is cake.

OP, I say if you want to have a" reveal" go for it. Just because everyone sees it as pointless doesn't mean that's how your parents and in-laws will take it. I always say to each their own. I'd say maybe not a full blown party because as stated before it is kinda rude to throw a party in your honor no matter the reason. Maybe you could treat them to dinner or something?

How exactly can you even choose a wedding date without talking to your VIPs and making sure the date works for them? That's on top of the overall AWishness of this idea.

But what happens whent the couple "reveals" their date to their VIP guests only for them to turn around and inform the couple that they have other plans already set for that day. The couple cannot expect them to cancel their plans. Thus why this is a dumb idea. Dates need to be picked after talking to your VIPs.

But it's THEIR wedding day! Nothing else matters in the WORLD. The universe revolves around THEIR wedding. No one else can make plans that day. It just cannot happen. At all. Babies cannot be born. People cannot be pregnant and be due around that time. TIME MUST STAND STILL BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ENGAGED. Duh.

Silly me. I guess my common sense kicked in, but don't worry, I batted that sucker down and it has now been locked away and the key thrown away. LOL! ;)

I think you can do this in relation to your engagement party. Have items or favors that state the date on them!
