Wedding Etiquette Forum

Look at this Facebook gem.

One of my friends who got married in December just posted this picture with the caption "Should have done this for my wedding ... would have been sooooo helpful to know."

Yeah, because your invitation covered in attire specifications and registry info wasn't bad enough. 

Re: Look at this Facebook gem.

  • Yeah, I thought it was just for joking purposes, which I fully endorse.

    This baby knows exactly how I feel
  • I have a friend of mine who I used to work with post that to my wall a couple of weeks ago, drawing attention (jokingly) to "Behavior Number 3."

    FI and I found so many other aspects of it that reminded us of people we knew.  We couldn't stop laughing.

  • The Meal choices had me laughing, until I realized how sadly true it was lol.

    The fact that she posted it on FB accompanied by her comment makes it seem less funny and more passive aggressive, though. In that context, at least.

  • That did make me giggle. I have friends who fit those categories, especially the food ones.

    I have GF, dairy-free, vegan (isn't dairy-free part of veganism?) friend who also doesn't eat mushrooms, beans, legumes, citrus fruit, spinach, kale, artichokes, anything in the squash family, apples, or tomatoes. I'm not sure what she does eat to stay alive. Or get protein.

    Breathatarian! Actually I'm going to guess that she eats dry lettuce and pretends that it is pasta smothered in cheese.

  • No I mean I did laugh reading it ... but this girl was serious ... like I could see her sending this out. 
  • Also sorry there are like six of this thread ... it gives you this error message and it looks like your thread failed to post. That's why there are all these duplicates .... @KnotPorscha delete my duplicates?
  • Sextuple postings now. awesome!
  • Haha that's hilarious.

    Although the bad thing is, this will probably end up on pinterest. And new brides probably won't see the harm in actually using this, and use it. Newest pinterest trend on the way!!
  • @HisGirlFriday she eats carbs. lots of carbs. Quinoa at least offers protein. And, some vegan cheese substitutes aren't as horrible as they sound, although her off-limit veggies baffle me.

    Also, if you were actually asking, "dairy-free" might simply refer to a vegetarian who can't consume dairy. They wouldn't have issues eating eggs or honey (animal products that do not require the animal be killed) or other animal-product derived ingredients.
  • Dear god, a bm of mine just posted this to my fb.... I politely said it was funny but don't know what I would think if I actually seriously received an invite like this. My mom commented laughing and saying how horrendous it was. Lol, I love my mom. This is going to be a new pinterest trend, I can just tell...

    This. It is funny as an ironic joke, but to post on your Fb where your guests, or former guests, are looking is absolutely passive aggressive.

  • My sister posted that to my Facebook as a joke.  I laughed and didn't really worry about other people seeing it since the wedding was a month ago.  If we were still leading up to the wedding I might have taken it down just so guests didn't get the wrong idea.
