I'm feeling extra snarky today because MDW was a blast and now I'm back at work, but with this time of year comes a fresh wedding season full of etiquette blunders and yucky planning!
What 2016 is looking like so far in my circle:
1- HS friend had a wedding this past Saturday, during MDW. I wasn't invited but I was able to lurk on the couples's wedding website since the bride posted a link on her FB wall. There was a whole page devoted to the holiday weekend and what guests should do and see. Because obviously everyone wants to spend every part of their long, holiday weekend doing things in the vicinity of your wedding venue.
2 - Cousin is getting married this August. A few weeks ago she posted on her facebook: "ladies I need your addresses for my shower" and tagged no one. Over the weekend she sent me a text saying that she never received my response from her facebook status and needs my address. Not sure if she's planning her own shower and why she doesn't still have my address from when she sent me a holiday card in December.
3- Coworker is getting married this August. She spent my entire engagement shaking her head at little things that I was doing which were perfectly etiquette friendly (such as my long engagement, my 8 bridesmaids, my guest list, my large shower, etc.), but has already let me know that she is 1) likely going to get married the day before her wedding for religious purposes, 2) B list, and 3) have an unplugged ceremony "because it's ridiculously rude when people can't be present during a wedding."
4 - H's family member getting married in Sept. Only registry is a honeyfund with a
super cute note letting everyone know that "we'll be doing a local 'minimoon' post-wedding but would LOVE the vacation of our dreams with your help! Please help send us to Hawaii this winter for our real honeymoon!" Because obviously a honeymoon is only real if it involves expensive travel and beaches.
Tell me yours!
