Who else is just utterly sick of obnoxious people on these boards? I mean really these boards are here for suggestions and help, correct? Not to bash each others' ideas and thoughts.

It's not bashing when you (General you, as always) have a bad idea and someone says "That's a bad idea." The people on these boards are nice enough to take the time to explain why ideas are bad.
Brides have enough people blowing sunshine up their skirts. It makes for entitled behavior. Having a community that will tell the unvarnished truth is really valuable if you want to plan a great wedding, be a gracious and thoughtful host, and attend to your guest's comfort as a first priority.
I think you will find that defensive responses and tantrums get short shrift here. Seeking information and being open to the answers, without accusing people of bullying or bashing when they are trying to help you not make an ass out of yourself, is met with open arms.
I'm sick of obnoxious newbs who get their feelers hurt and think their weddings are a pass to treat their friends and family however they want in the name of THEIR BIG DAY. Welcome to The Knot. I don't like you.
What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

Knotties, we should just pack up and go home because I have every confidence that THIS poster, via THIS thread, with her can-do, Who Is With Me?! attitude, will at last lead the rebellion that overthrows the established system in place here.

I really thought this was going to be a thread about the people who are bumping threads older than dirt, think that etiquette is opinion-based, and seem to think that with 7.2 billion (BILLION WITH A B ) people on the planet that they are the ONE person who has such special and unique circumstances that have never, ever been seen before in the thousands of years people have been on this planet as to make it ok to treat their friends and family poorly because they love you and are too kind to say what an ass you're being.
I really could have gotten on board with that thread. This one though? Meh.

QFT! I thought this was going to be a snark thread.
I was about to share a story of a PPD I see unraveling right before my eyes (and everyone else's) on FB. Girl posts EVERYTHING about her upcoming "wedding" when she was married in December. We all know it's because you didn't want your BF to get deported, honey. Just stop.
By the time my children were 12, they'd grasped a simple concept- before you speak, you think, is this helpful? Is it honest? Is it kind? And (this is the big one) where will this lead and what will it accomplish?
Honestly, what were you trying to accomplish? And exactly where did you think this would lead?
I think if you'd given this about 10 seconds of thought it probably wouldn't have been posted.
Because it's actually doing the same thing it purports to criticize.
Oh, how I had hoped this was going to be a thread about all the brides advocating cash bars and b-listing and other such horrors over on e-hell.
Instead, it's one of those Change The World One Knottie At A Time threads.
I'm sure yours is going to be The Thread. The one that changes us all. The one that makes us see the error of our ways, and turns us to the Light Side.
Oh wait. The Dark Side has . I think I'll stay over here, and host a guilt free wedding where if people are offended, it's their problem and not mine.
Oh dear sweet lord baby Jesus! I see the error of my ways! Thank you, Artemis Moon, for your thoughtful and deeply considered, not at all futile or ridiculous, rhetorical question. I see now you have a genuine desire to save us Knotties from ourselves. If only someone had criticized us sooner! No one has ever said these boards should only be "helpful" before and we should not tell anyone their ideas are bad! This is a brand new concept! Oh ye Giant Spaghetti Monster in the Sky, I repent of my online community-based sins of sweet, sweet honesty and truth-telling. I now see the light! I ask your forgiveness, Oh Great Spaghetti Monster, that I might seek atonement. Henceforth these boards shall be purely for blowing rainbows up the asses of unicorns.
"I'm not a rude bitch. I'm ten rude bitches in a large coat."

Bye Felicia! The ONLY obnoxious brides are the ones with piss poor ettiquette that try to excuse it after the community explains why it is rude and offers help.
Live fast, die young. Bad Girls do it well. Suki Zuki.
Dear Knotties, I need more money. I am planning to go rob a 7-eleven tonight. Great idea, right? I know the people who love me will understand. Please only post supportive replies. (Sarcasm)
OP, you might run into significantly fewer issues with "obnoxious" brides on the forums if you stopped giving shitty advice that runs counter to etiquette on the etiquette board.
But, as it stands, feel free to run along somewhere else if you don't like it here. Nobody will mind.

Be sure to wear a good mask and gloves. And six-seven inch platforms. And maybe one of those superman muscle costumes. No way to ID you that way!
I think I might try to BASE jump off my house. Will a plastic grocery bag be a sufficient parachute? I'm doing it, so supportive responses only.
I saw who posted this and knew where this was going after she casually mentioned inviting too many people to her wedding, and now her venue is 15 people over capacity. I brought up points of why you should never invite too many people than the venue can hold and all the people it will affect. I had a feeling this was going to get real.
Sorry, OP, you are right. It's no big deal to over-invite past the venues capacity. I just hope one of your VIPs doesn't get the axe because your distant relations got to the reception sooner. Carry on.
whoa wait your wedding is in 3 months and you already sent out your invites!? umm why so early. are you planning on b-listing?? this won't only affect accuracy its wayyy too early...
anywho reality is everybody is entitled to their opinion and the ladies here give great advice. Sometimes people need a reality check in order to be graceful and thoughtful to their guests. Even I realized a few headaches later that I should've listened to some advice I was given and I haven't been rude to anyone of my friends and family.
so really i don't think the regs are the problem here

Thank you, OMH, for proving OP's point! We do need new and special blood! You have not caught up with the times at all!! There is NO point in robbing a 7-Eleven. You can set up a GoFundME registry. Wait. You can volunTOLD someone to set up a GoFundME registry for you. If that does not provide enough cash, make sure you TELL your wedding party to set up a fundraising event to offset any other potential costs....except your honeymoon, because of course your HoneyFund will take care of that silly burden.
Do you see how effective my special and supportive reply was for you? Of course you don't. You OMH's have your heads stuck in the 70's, 80's, 90's, and 00's. We are the UNTRADITIONAL brides, where entitlement reigns and etiquette dies. (And where we don't know the difference between untraditional, offbeat, and rude.) But then again, we don't care!
