Re: Knot Poll

  • So far so good, 14-0 in favor of RUDE AS HELL. :)
  • Do we seriously even need this poll?  All you have to do is have some basic common sense and you would know that these are a no-no

  • I'd reaaaaaaaly like to know who the 2 people are that voted yes.  B-lists are probably the rudest thing one can do.  "Hi, you weren't good enough to make the first cut, so once those people say no, then we'd love to have you come as a next best thing guest."  UGH!
  • As important as YOU think your wedding is, the simple fact is-- it's not that important to EVERYONE. No one will die if they don't get invited to your wedding. Fact.

    There are plenty of weddings I could have gone without being invited to.  Also fact.

  • Seriously, who are the four?  Explain why you think this isn't rude.  I'd LOVE to hear it.

    Amazing.

    I bet the four are either regs who are being smartasses or newbs who just have no clue.

  • Unbelievably RUDE, do not do it!

  • Did we have a formal "B-List"?  No.  Did we think of some people we would like to invite after the first round of invitations went out?  Yes.  Did we invite them?  Yes.  Was that "rude as hell"?  I don't think so.  We had room in the venue, we wanted to invite them, so we did.  No bIg deal.  It's not like we called them 8 hours before the wedding and asked them to be seat-fillers.  Relax.

  • It's now up to 6 yesses.  Really?  There are people that actually think that's ok?

     

  • Les, I think there's a huge difference between thinking a week after the invitations go out "Hey, we should have invited our neighbor, Sally!" and dropping an invitation in the mail and having an actual list of people who are only invited if others decline. 
  • I agree, MUN1.  A formal B-list is different - thinking ahead of time who your second-string guests are going to be isn't ok, especially when the invitation goes out very close to the wedding and it's obvious the B&G are pulling from the bench.

    But that's not a planned B-list.

  • Back up lists suck.  Great way to make people feel honored to share in your "special day".  I gagged while typing that, BTW.

  • Come on, Lil I thought you were going to be cool.
  • I know it's a shocker to those who's wedding planning knowledge comes from Bride Wars and Bridesmaids, but your wedding is not an exclusive red carpet event. Your wedding is a celebration of you and your husband's love, with your family and friends. People should not feel "lucky" to make the cut. And, as someone who's been B-listed before, you feel like crap to know that someone would categorize their friends, and you juuuuuuuust about fit into their favorite people.
  • Proof the powers that be don't really read the boards.  If they did, they'd already know the answer.
