    Aren't all those TheKnot posters uptight, old-fashioned, out-of-date, snotty bitches for not agreeing with all your suggestions?  You didn't ask their opinions, after all!!!
    Don't forget they are also old hags and you feel sorry for the FI/DHs!

    You are forgetting a few VERY important things here.

    First, don't bother renting chairs. After all, who will want to sit down for fear or wrinkling the fancy clothes you dictate that they wear? This is especially important if you have a "black tie" wedding. Don't want wrinkly tuxes and gowns, right?

    Secondly, make sure you've updated your Facebook status so everyone who hasn't gotten an invitation yet knows they are on your B list. You may want to send those money envelopes to them early just in case you end up being able to invite them!

    And, probably the most important thing, this is going to be an outdoor wedding in the middle of a blizzard, right? Because how pretty would it be to have snowflakes falling while you say your vows!!

    You should definitely fire your MOH who has a husband and three kids and always has something more important to do than help you plan the wedding. I mean seriously, that's her JOB. She knew what she was signing up for. So what if it ends the friendship - if she cared, she'd try harder!

    (I'm totally going to jump in here since I thought of something, I hope you don't mind...) Don't forget that since it's in the middle of the blizzard, every female WP member must wear at least 3" heels that are open-toed, which were at least $200, and to not have anything but snow for them to stand on/in.

    $200?! Where do you think I shop? Target?!

    It's obviously $500 with 1000 hand placed Swarovski crystals (which the BMs will place themselves for that individual touch!).

    Be sure to announce, in the program, on social media, in your invitation, and by your officiant, that your ceremony and reception have to be totally "unplugged" because you want everyone to be "in the moment" (and because you're paying a professional through the nose to take all the posed and photojournalistic shots and videos they offer). No one can use thei own cameras without breaching that exclusive contract.

    And everyone has to follow your dress, accessories, hair, and makeup requirements for those photos. The wedding party members all have to weigh within a given range, be of given height and hair color, have their hair styled just so, be profesionally made up, and not pregnant to look right in the photos, and no true friend would dream of letting you down in this area. Guests have to follow the requirements too, so they'll look good in the photos and videos. And capturing everyone at the wedding in those photos and videos is the most important reason for being there, isn't it?

    But don't pay for any of it. What, are you made of money!

    Not kidding - one wedding I went to had a small photo album of the couple's engagement photos as their favor for every guest. What are FI and I supposed to do with not one, but TWO, miniature albums with 30 pictures of you kissing your husband?! What a waste of money.

    You guys how could we forget to add what to wear to the invitation! I mean what if someone wore (shock) jeans without a jacket!?!? And I swear if I see even one girl that has white ANYWHERE on her outfit I am going to hate her for the rest of her life.
    I wouldn't stop at telling them not to wear white. Your photos will be ruined if your guests don't match your decor. Be sure to tell them explicitly what colors are acceptable.
    With paint swatches so they don't get confused at all and wear the wrong thing.
    No, it should be fabric swatches. Definitely. You can't have people clashing with different fabrics. What if your mom shows up in satin and your grandma wears chiffon? Tell grandma to leave that ugly nightgown at home!

    I think you should demand every guests send you a high resolution photograph and description of what they are wearing before the wedding so you can veto their wardrobe selection.

    @sarahufl The Google is a beautiful place. I think that's Katy Perry in the middle? Not sure though.

    Yes, it's a Katy Perry video for one of her songs..."Hot and Cold" or something like that...

    Obviously the registry insert will positioned so that it's the first thing the guests see when they open the invite. With Honeyfund at the top of the list! If it's not in the invite, how will guests ever figure out what you want????

    You should just put it on Facebook so everyone who is a "friend" can see and send you what you want, since they won't be getting invitations!

    It's not a PPD, it's your REAL wedding.  Be sure they throw an over the top Bachelorette party.  It's your only chance to be a bride after all.
