  Starbucks and mimosa bars are both just glorious in my opinion. Obviously the need to instagram a pic of my 'SBucks' on my wedding day will not be on my to do list.
  
  I'm still having mason jars and don't care if it's 'Pinteresty' or trendy. They are a part of my life every year with my mom and grandma.
  
  Silver lining: Instead of having a bunch of vases to get rid of I'll be using them to can pickles and jams with two favorite ladies. My mom and grandma have made pickles, apple butter, pepper jelly, strawberry preserves, pear preserves, and a ton of other yummy things since before I was born. No wasted money in that department for us!

  I'd like to know what happened to the flower girl...her Frappuccino got hijacked by the MOH...

  
  

  (ETA: Also, why does "Bridesmaid #1" have two drinks? And how does one rank their bridesmaids anyway?)

  I didn't have a single one of these on my wedding day, and it was still a fantastic day!  Man I wish I owned stock in the wedding industry, things are getting more and more out of hand.

  I love the idea of champagne being present, but why the cutesy set up?

  Facepalm.

  
  

  But take heart-- the comments all pretty much say, these ideas are rude!  My faith in humanity has been (partially) restored.

  The only acceptable thing is a tote full of puppies.  Also I have to point out that the girl in the home reno pic isn't wearing shoes.  Bitch you are gonna step on a nail.

  Ok, am I the only one who thinks maybe drinking a giant, sugary coffee right before getting into a dress that is often very difficult to use the bathroom in isn't the best idea ever?  I like starbucks on any other day, but between coffee being a laxative, and that giant amount of sugar causing stomachaches, I probably wouldn't want to drink it right before getting ready.

  
  

  But I do like the mimosa bar.  I'll keep that in mind.

  She was the primary brideslave and was required to stay up all night with the bride, keeping her pillows and blankets perfectly smooth so she wouldn't get any crease lines on her face.

  As I understand it, the "house party" is the "bridal party" that aren't bridesmaids.
  Basically, the house party all get a dress, the same way bridesmaids do, but a different dress from the bridesmaids. So if your wedding is blues and silvers, you can have your bridesmaids in silver dresses, and your house party in blue.
  The house party doesn't walk down the aisle, or stand art front with you, they cheer you on from their specially reserved seats in the second pew.
  They also get to do all the really fun stuff like getting ready with you beforehand, help decorate the reception hall, make sure everyone signs the guest book, and so on.
  
  Everyone knows you can't physically have EVERYone you love in the bridal party, so this is the way to honour those additional people, so they don't feel left out.
  
  Something like, "hey, you know how amazing special you are to me, and how I'd love to have you as a bridesmaid. Unfortunately, these other 10 people are just that bit more special, and you didn't make the cut.
  It's not all bad news though, you still get to buy a dress of my choosing, so everyone can see how not-quite-special-enough you are (yay!). Congrats, you're in my house party!"
  
  Bonus points if you can get it all in a cutesy poem, and super-bonus points if one of your bridesmaids steps down and you can promote a house party member.
