Over The Top Invitation

My bossman just got a wedding invitation delivered - by a man in a coat and tails, top hat and gloves, driving a limo. No big deal.

 He is presented with the "invitation" which is wrapped up in a box with a pretty bow. He opens it, butterflies fly out (which are now all over my damn office and I can't get rid of them). Inside is a hard cover book cased in black fabric and covered in jewels. Open it up, it's got 5 colour pages of their engagement shots and on the last page is their wedding details (6 hour gap) and an RSVP card, a meal card, and place cards that you're supposed to write your name on and what you're ordering for food (out of chicken, beef, pork, veal, vegetarian, or glueton (sp?) free.

Whatever, so bossman goes to walk away and coat and tails guy goes "Please note the RSVP states it needs to be handed back to me before my departure" So bossman looks at his wife and his wife just shrugs so Bossman says he'll go.

I asked if I could take a picture of the invite to show you guys but Bossman said no :(

ETA: What do butterflies even eat? I don't want them to die.

Re: Over The Top Invitation

  • Whaaaaaaaat?

  • That's the most INSANE invitation I've ever heard of. 

    Even with how "fancy" that is, it's just rude/imposing enough that I'm willing to bet this is the kind of couple that would have a dollar dance.

  • I thought this shit only existed in movies..... Remember the invitation from Bridesmaids, for the Bridal Shower? Whose wedding is this??! Do you know the venue? Wow.... you should have taken a pic of the invitation dude lol.

  • I feel terrible for the butterflies in the box of the last person to receive their invitation!

    Right? Also I guess they're cool with butterflies just croaking wherever. I am soft about this shit so I'd be mashing banana on a plate for them to eat and putting some flowers out so I could at least get them outside somehow.

  • I wish I was kidding. It's almost 30 degrees (C) here today too, so those poor butterflies must be so hot.
  • I wish there was a camera on the messenger's coat to capture the reactions when people open up the invite.  I'm sure there are a lot of WTF? faces.


    and what happens if everyone on the invite is not there?  DH and I hardly see each other these days.  I barely speak to him during the day.   No way I would be able to RSVP with the  meal choice while some dude stood in front of me.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    Thank you, glad you like my invitation!

    Seriously.

    ETA: No, we are not having a  dollar dance.

  • Please tell me in a few hours we'll be hearing about how your boss is going to be on one of those hidden camera shows.

    Also, I would decline that invitation. If the invitation tells you the formality of the event..... I wouldn't know where to shop for the right attire.

  • Whaaaaaaat?? Is this even real?????

  • Yes to the Super Sweet 16 reference! (I'm ashamed I know that.) That's one way to get your RSVP's on time but probably guarantees a lot of no-shows or last-minute changes.

  • I can't believe the man needed the RSVP right then on-the-spot! Wow. That's just crazy. I think I would have just burst out laughing.
  • strangest thing ever. Did bossman seem the least bit shocked?!
    image
  • @sarahhufl He looked more disgusted than anything... but I think he was in shock that it was happening like that.
  • Honey maybe good butterfly food, but you got me?
    As for the invitation wow.

    So I remember watching My Super Sweet 16 where all the brats birthday kids would drive around in limos and hand deliver their invitations. That was the first thing I thought of. A show about over the top bratty kids. Yeah, that's what you want your wedding associated with.

    Lmao Cee-Lo's daughter! I saw her driving a GORGEOUS dark blue Maserati a couple years ago. Her mom is on a new VH1 show and she's my favorite of the group so far.

    THIS made me bust out laughing at TK for the first time ever. I don't even know why. It's not funny at all. But it did. 

    Also: Holy shit balls, did someone think they were important. I don't even know what to do with that. I can guarantee if that happened here there would be some hardcore eyebrow-raising by everyone in the office. Not just me.

    Holy balls. Who the hells wedding is it? A granddaughter of the shah of Iran????
    I laughed so hard when I read this.^

    And how terrible would it have been if he had opened the box and the butterflies were all flopped over dead?  I would die laughing if I saw that in a movie, but in real life that's kind of cruel.  I totally thought of the movie Bridesmaids when you told us there were live butterflies.  In fact, when my friend and I watched that movie, we immediately looked up how to do an invitation like that, and all of these websites about animal cruelty popped up.  Can you shoo the butterflies to the outdoors at all?  How many butterflies are we talking about?  

    For the love of all that is holy, if your boss goes to the wedding and shares his experience with you, please update us.
