Saw this and thought of you ladies:


I don't always agree with Wendy on event planning etiquette (I've read her support honeymoon registries and cash bars), but in this case she is spot on!

Can't wait to see what other craziness is in store for the week!

    It's interesting that one of the commenters thinks the letter writer might be an older bride. I get the exact opposite sense.

    Yeah I thought that was weird too! She sounds more like she's 19!

    Right? Maybe it's just my friends, but all the older brides I know (and I'll be one myself) couldn't give a fuck about any of that stuff. But the ones that got married younger definitely cared a lot more about the hoopla

    There are a few, though (I've seen them here) who think that because they waited X number of years for their perfect wedding, they DESERVE it and should not have to compromise for anything or anyone.

    This is true as well.
    I guess rudeness knows no age.

    Oh man... spot on Wendy.

    I was also mostly confused by the "these girls are like my sisters" comments, but then the "only two of them I'm actually close with, and only one I see regularly", and, "I actually only wanted to go away with the 2 girls but I asked them to invite the rest anyway". 7 bridesmaids? I see...

    I used to frequent the Dear Wendy column all the time. Her wedding etiquette advice is not the best (she didn't have enough chairs at her own wedding). Her relationship advice is great though.

    No!! NO WENDY NO!

    She's advocated for:
    -B-listing (for a labor day weekend wedding no less!)
    -Not inviting plus ones (a gues upset that his live in girlfriend of six years wasn't invited)

    So disappointed.

    You were the only voice of reason in that thread. That's why I don't read her column anymore.

    That was hard to read. It just pisses me off. Before fiance and I were engaged we were together for almost a decade. Probably longer than any weddings I will be invited to. So what? Their relationship is more valid than mine just because they got married?!

    Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, she has lost my reader ship. It's not a community I want to be part of any longer
