I can't decide which part is the worst, but one of the top contenders is the fact that HER MOM is sending out the invitations. If you're not old/mature/responsible enough to mange that yourself, perhaps you're not ready to get married.

I couldn't believe this either. Your mom is not sending out invitations to your birthday party, she is sending them out for your wedding! The person tagged is her fiance, who is 30. I can only imagine him getting all these notifications and being like

My parents hosted and paid for most of our wedding. As the hosts they are the ones who sent out the invites. It has nothing to do with me not being mature enough to handle the invitations. They are the hosts and the invites come from them. Now I did fly up to the states to help addressing the invites, but any invite done after I returned home would have been had to be done by my mom.

Add in I was living in the islands and lord knows when or even if the invites would have made it to the states anyway.

This girl is a mess and sounds immature, but the fact her mom is sending the invites in itself does not make her immature.

You're right, I'm sorry! I always assumed even if the parents were hosting, it was the bride and grooms responsibility to address and send the invitations.

That is a big misconception. No one thinks twice about the host sending out invites to the bridal shower because she is the one hosting. Sometimes it's the same for a wedding being throw by someone other than the couple.

This is exactly the case for DD. She will be 32 next month and married in June. I am sending out her invitations because we are paying for and hosting this shindig. It is a gift to them, just as Lynda's parents did for her. She is quite mature and her not sending out the invitations has nothing do with that.

Sadly this is someone on my friends list! She's an acquaintance. A cousin of a close friend, who I've met just one time when we all went out for said friends birthday. I also like where she busts out just a tiny shred of etiquette with the "I'm not supposed to invite people to the bachelorette party who aren't invited to the wedding" bit. Honey, that's the least of your worries.

What the fuck are they doing for a B-party that is going to cost the attendees $100 up front? Did you guys see that?

This bride sounds like she has leftover tickets to a Yankees game she's trying to get rid of. Geesh.

I remember the whole Carson thing. And then she turned in to the pyscho one. The internet is full of so much win.

Psycho how?

$100 is the cover charge. It includes 3 hours of open bar. Better be top shelf if you ask me.

Shots are extra as well has paying for the bride's cover charge.

Crazy IMO. And this is from someone who would not be considered cheap when it comes to going out.

Even when I was younger and able to drink myself under a table, I never in a million years came close to spending $100.

It's also hilarious to me that the bride is telling everyone "I'm not paying cover so I think that's fair". That be all the more reason for me to not want to pay her cover. I'm the kind of person who naturally offers to pay for that kind of thing, or a shot or two, but I despise being asked/forced.

Lets not even get in to her asking guests to text her a picture of what everyone is going to wear. HOLD THE PHONE. Nuh uh.

If she's already Bridezilla 4.0 for the bachelorette party, I would pay good money to see her on the day of the wedding.

Yeah, $100 for 3 hours open bar in insane, even if that includes chipping in for the bride.

It DOES NOT include the bride. The brides $100 cover is going to be split between everyone attends. I guess that is why they are pushing people to come?

And bride wants to do shots with her bitches. Those are NOT included in the open bar, so she excepts you to bring more cash for the shots.

And the Bride is expecting them to tip too! Cna't forget the tips, which are easily a dollar a drink!

>< I missed all of that, TY!

That seems pricey to me. . . even if it's top shelf, I don't typically drink enough to warrant $100 bar tab on my own, and I really only care for overpriced Scotch if we are honest ;-)

Plus covering the Bride's cover charge, plus all the tipping? No way, Jose!

Don't forget tips, BITCHES.

Whenever things seem way too overpriced, I wonder if the host(ess) is trying to make money back on the event itself.

Maybe there is bottle service in here too. Maybe. I can't believe I'm so damn curious.

And by the way @prettygirllost, do you like a Scotch that's old enough to order its own Scotch?

;-)

Oh honey, as a very wise Knottie said (was it you?!)

Scotch is like a man- if it's under 18 years old you don't touch it. And it is best enjoyed alone.

Inkdancer · April 2014

@PrettyGirlLost I like my Scotch like I like my men: mature, a little dark, and preferably one at a time.
