My best friend is getting married this summer, I'm a bridesmaid.
We both have wedding planners, but hers seems to do every.single.thing- including making decisions! big ones!- whereas I'm still part of the planning process.
Last year, BFF asks for FI and I's full names, first middle and last. (She knew mine, but not FIs middle)
Anyway- a few weeks ago, her STD shows up... To Knickergold and Guest-- huh? First, my middle and last name were spelled wrong, and FI is now 'guest'.
I know she didn't send these, or even see them before they were sent- even the return address was to her planner's office- but I'm peeved/annoyed. (Probably silly, but really?)
I mean this woman is the most expensive planner in the area (I'm not getting married locally, but looked at planners here and she is $$$$$$) and she ok'd STDs with 'and guest' for an engaged couple? What's more interesting, another BM posted a picture of the card & envelope on Facebook (why???) and it's addressed to her and guest- and she's married!! And it is addressed to her married name!
Anyway, I don't want to say anything to BFF about the misspelled names or the fact that FI shouldn't be addressed as 'guest'... but it's semi-frustrating! I am however, very glad I decided to 1)not get married locally (for a number of reasons) 2) hire this woman as my WP as a mid-five figure sum should, IMO, cover properly addressing your guests...
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but Save the Dates don't typically have 'and guest' on them for single people, correct? Everyone who is single is getting a plus one for my wedding, but the save the dates were solely addressed to the single person, whereas the invites will have 'and guest' or will have the name of the person they're in a relationship with, once the wedding rolls around. To be clear, those in relationships were both addressed by name on the Save the Date, not just 'BFF and Guest'.
