I've told a wedding white lie - true or false?

Are you guilty of telling a wedding white lie? From fudging the truth to your parents by saying "it's too late" to change something, or telling a nosy uninvited wedding guest that you had to "keep things small" or that the guest list is "mainly family" - sometimes a little white lie can ease the...

Are you guilty of telling a wedding white lie? From fudging the truth to your parents by saying "it's too late" to change something, or telling a nosy uninvited wedding guest that you had to "keep things small" or that the guest list is "mainly family" - sometimes a little white lie can ease the awkwardness!

Have you told a wedding white lie? True or false?

    We told everyone kids are not allowed at our venue that’s why we have an adult only wedding🙈

    True!! Our most frequently used was that our facility didn’t allow children for liability purposes 🤣

    True! We really did want to keep our wedding small, and we’re really selective with who was and wasn’t on the guest list! We ended with under 100 in attendance, which I know is still bigger than some but it was perfect for us and we were thankful for that!! I don’t think I would’ve loved having anything bigger!!

    True , since we are paying for everything ourselves i have told a few people that were limited to bow many people can come and just as of today told my cuz that her brother cant bring a plus one bc we just paid off etc but im sure venue would be ok with me paying for another today i just dont have the time and money to keep adding people and seating chart is all done and turned in so would be a huge pain and process to fix it and then return it again...wedding is in 3 days 2 if you go by weddkng wire its friday aug 30 th so only few days away so not like i have time to change everything now last minute.

    False! I have not had to tell a lie. Fingers crossed I don't run into a situation where I have to. 🤞🏻😂

    I'm a straight up kind of person, if you ask something I tell it exactly how it is

    I honestly (pun not intended) don't think I have. Well, actually, one, but it's because it's a surprise for Jordan. I ordered one of those giant Zorb hampster balls and when it arrived at my grandpa's house he ratted me out about having a HUGE package so one day after going up there, Jordan asked what it was and I said my grandpa was crazy and it was his name on the package! 😂 As far as like money on everything else or details or anything, no. I would like to not start the foundation of my wedding on White lies.... Surely as the day gets closer, there will probably be more.. hahaha

    True... I wanted more bridesmaids another friend and my brother girlfriend but FH didn’t so I just said Alec wanted even sides and he’s only asking two to keep it small

    True. I told my mom I was wearing fancy shoes for the ceremony to convince her to not wear old ugly tacky beach shoes.

    Guilty but not on purpose. Certain people that invited themselves didn't RSVP by the deadline but a day or so after an I told them we had already turned in our final numbers so we would have to celebrate with them another time.

    Yes we could have said no or just not sent them an invitation but we did trying to be nice. Thankfully no one caused an issue about it and understood.

    False, I tell it like it is. Wedding planning or otherwise, I don't go out trying to hurt people's feelings, at the same time, I don't feel the need to lie and put a strain on the relationship. I'm a TERRIBLE liar, so there's really no point.

    True, I’ve told my nieces boyfriend that i had to check to see if there’s another seat. My FH and him don’t get along. I don’t want drama at my wedding and my niece understands.

    False I think. I don’t remember telling any white lies so far. But as it gets closer and people start trying to self-invite, a couple ‘budget restraint’ statements that aren’t wholly true might just slip out.

    When people ask me if I’ve set a date yet, I say that we’re “thinking” about a certain date, but truth be told, the date is already set. I just haven’t determined exactly who is attending, so I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings!
