And we wonder why we have such an entitled society.
Example 1: (posted on theknot 911 app from another user) they have fake registries now that make it look like you want actual stuff but you receive cash and supposedly your guests are none the wiser. I personally think this is equal to honeymoon registries and find it appalling. She found an article in a bridal magazine that listed that and 2 other ways to get cash. The other two ways? Put your bank account # on your invites or include an empty envelope with the invites so they can return it with money. Sick.
Example 2: 69% of brides purchase jewelry as their bridesmaids gift! much like the generic bracelet pictured.
Example 3: 79% make their groomsman wear "fun" matching socks. Eye roll.
Example 4: a Q&A section with a dj. She says "it's fine to tell your vendors what to wear. I adhere to the same dress code as the guests." Great except guests shouldn't have a dress code.
Ok none of those (except the registry gem) are the most terrible faux pas. But a magazine filled with this trash just inflates selfish brides' egos that much more.
End rant.
After 6 years and 2 boys, finally tying the knot on October 27th, 2013!
