Current wedding trends you are skipping

Skipping first look, sparkler exit, matching robes for bridesmaids, bridesmaid proposal boxes, honeyfund, entrances for wedding party, head table, and favors. Also not doing garter toss or anything at all related to money

No garter or bouquet toss for my wedding.

No choreographed bridesmaid dancing. I have 10 bridesmaids, I'm not adding more to my plate by trying to get choreograph a dance with them. Their normal dancing is fine.

Kids are certainly welcome and invited at my wedding.

View Quoted Comment Definitely agree.
Plus: everyone can take selfies with their smartphone/tab. Even 6 year-old-kids have a device or toy than can take photos nowadays ...

Oh I forgot the car decorating. I am 99% sure none of his friends would do it, they are all in their 50s but I bet my daughters will want to, yikes!
I am creating a list of things to have a talk with them about LOL
There have been threats to request WAP at the reception...I plan to offer Baby Got Back as a compromise.

It's funny to see barn weddings mentioned. I remember when I got married barn weddings were a really uncommon thing that all the bridal blogs were calling "offbeat" and "quirky", and they were "unexpected venues". Now, it seems everyone has a barn wedding... heck, in my town, people have literally BUILT barns to be WEDDING BARNS. They aren't even real barns!

I'm having a vow renewal, so obviously I'm skipping most of the wedding traditions, but as far as trends go, I'm skipping...

Photobooth. I just have never really been into them. I don't use them when I go to events where they have them, and I don't like the space they occupy or how they look in most reception spaces.

Choreographed dances, especially first dances (we're not having a "first dance" but we will probably have some kind of dance together, and it won't be choreographed.) I have never seen a wedding where this looked natural. It always just looks like the couple is reciting footsteps, and it ends up looking very wooden to me.

Anniversary dance. There are events where this works, so I'm saying specifically for my event, this trend makes no sense. We have a very intimate guest list, so I know exactly how it will go: my mom will be sad because we just lost my dad. My oldest sister will be sad because she just got divorced. My husband's mom and dad are divorced, and whether his mom is married to her current partner or not is actually unknown, but if she gets up there with him during an anniversary dance, all hell may break loose, especially if they "win" (it was a very bitter divorce.) And we have been married longer than all of our friends... so (barring the aforementioned MIL situation) we would end up being the last couple standing and that just seems tacky. "Welcome to our vow renewal, where we will have a dance just to remind you that we've been married longer than everyone here."

We are ditching dollar and anniversarie dances, the welcome bags, garter/bouquet toss,both "grand entrance" and "grand exit", the sparkles,my fiancee will skip the veil & the sweetheart neckline (TWO MAJOR 2010's trends) , she doesn't want to walk down the aisle with her dad and/or mom ( still undecided between walking herself down or with me).
I wanted a group dance with my close friends and my sisters,in lieu of a mother-son one, not like the dances posted on Youtube by those who just wanna get views & 👍 ... but a funny,silly dance to a funny,silly song; e.g:LMFAO's "I'm sexy and I know it" or a similar song; but I'll skip it.
Another BIG 2010's trend we are ditching: the 1st dance mashup : My bride wants us to dance to a love song only, doesn't want a funny,silly dance 😀😄: her request will be met with a yes.

* Plus we asked those who will give a speech NOT TO display photos or videos , we both HATE seeing ourselves in them.
* And finally (I promise this is my last remark🤭): we won't play the shoe game . It's funny,sweet but I doubt the guests care about who is the better kisser?, the better dresser?, who talks more?, who starts the fights? who is more a party animal? who made the 1st move?who said I love you first? ... if they do care :they can ask us at family diners/gatherings.
Plus: it's funny to see/watch for the 1st, 2nd , maybe the 3rd time time but not as funny if you have to see/watch it at every weddings.

Not a fan of the photo booth or grand exits either

Photo booth, bouquet toss, garter toss and wearing of a garter, I wont be doing any of these.

Definitely no photobooth or garter toss.
