701. Re: What's the deal with wedding websites?

     

     Reply by TheBaysideBride · June 2013 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

     Personally, I wouldn't bother with directions in an invite - it's not 1950, people can google or GPS that stuff. We just did RSVP card, and a small card with timing (FRIDAY: welcome cocktails at 8 p.m.; Saturday 6:30 ceremony, 8 p.m. dinner, etc ). At the bottom of that small card was our wedding website. no one had any…

     I agree with NHelene--the word "tacky" is completely overused on this site. I've seen just about every aspect of a wedding that is not straight out of an etiquette book from the 1950s be deemed as tacky according to people on this board! I say your wedding should be a fun, happy celebration so just relax and do what you…

     i agree with Jwkosek. Jason did such a fantastic job at my wedding. I'm still getting compliements about him!! he kept the dance floor going all night and played ALL my requested songs. LOVE LOVE LOVE him! We paid 1950, which included a photo booth for 5 hours, uplighting and the DJ service for 5 hours. He was awesome to…

     I'm desperate to do that, too! Do lots of DIY, string lights if you can, and put lots of greenery in your decor. Mason jars always create a feeling of rusticness (is that a word?) Unfortunately, my FI is leaning more towards a mad men, 1950's glamorous net veils and pinstripes wedding and since he doesn't care about much…

     I personally am going for a 1940's-1950's retro look but I stumbled across this etsy collection and its too good not to share. If you are looking for a vintage dress these are stunning! Especially check out the "Lot 56" its old clearance she is trying to get rid of but you may still request pieces individually!!…

     I think wearing your mothers gown has a lot of significance--If my GRANDMOTHER still had her wedding gown I'd be wearing it (she had a 1950s tea length dress--ADORABLE). If your mom and sister don't mind you having it altered, I say go for it! As long as you feel beautiful in it that is all that matters.

     Interesting... I'd definitely try to! I bought an old photograph from a vintage store that may have been from the 1950s from the looks of it (the photo itself, the outfits, hairstyles, background scream early 50s). There were no names but it's such an interesting photo and I always wonder who they were and how they would…

     Oh no... that sucks about your MUA - I can recommend mine her name is Holly Gowers 305/951-4950. I'm getting a "friend" price so I dont know what she will quote you. I'm sure you will find someone you like! As far as coming home... whoo hoo!!! Congrats FI -

     True story from back in the 1950's, as written by Amy Vanderbilt: A New York socialite was throwing a party for well known prominent people. One of her male guests came up to her and whispered, ""That ballet dancer you invited - don't you know he's a homosexual?" "Really!" she replied calmly. "I thought he was Canadian!"
