What's some of the worst/weirdest suggestions you've been given regarding wedding planning? - Mine would be FH thinking his groomsmen didn't need gifts (luckily I talked him into giving them something!) - FH didn't want to feed anyone at our rehearsal dinner and said, instead of providing drinks,...

What's some of the worst/weirdest suggestions you've been given regarding wedding planning?

- Mine would be FH thinking his groomsmen didn't need gifts (luckily I talked him into giving them something!)

- FH didn't want to feed anyone at our rehearsal dinner and said, instead of providing drinks, they could use the water fountain (I told him we had to provide a meal and drinks)

- My mom suggesting a potluck (food safety issues there so I shut that down really fast!)

    The only reason being a virgin was such a big deal way back when in the dark ages was to ensure that any children were your husband’s xD in this day and age there are way better alternatives, so virginity is a ridiculous thing to care about. I’m sure your aunt is just a well of useful advice lol.

    Lol I got my tubes tied so no child is mine so it’s not a problem but I totally get it. She’s in her early 40s though so idk where she got these old school ideals from

    So the ultimate gift includes a painful procedure followed by a painful wedding night. Sounds horrific.

    Lol. Those are silly indeed... here are a few of ours

    - FMIL wanted to invite 35 + of her family and out of town friends to the rehearsal dinner.... the wedding party alone is 35 people... plus our out of town family... it quickly turned into 90 people for a wedding of only 180 guests... a pre wedding wedding.... lol. We compromised to a "happy hour" for alllllll out of town guests AFTER rehearsal dinner. She didnt like that compromise either.... so now she is hosting them all for a day after brunch.... good lord. These poor people have too much to attend. Lorrrrd

    I seriously got my linen tablecloths for $4 each during a sale and a sign up bonus coupon and she still thought it was a waste. 😖 Love her dearly, she can’t plan weddings.

    Brand new one!

    I need to buy table numbers, found ones on Zazzle for $1

    Mom : Just make them yourself with purple poster board and a sharpie

    But WHY!? I’d spend more money making them and they’d look like absolute crap. Whyyyy

    FH's sister told FH not to invite their cousin because "he has too many kids & she wouldn't invite him to her wedding". I don't care how many kids he has, they're family. They're all invited.

    A sparkle fairy dress isn't for everyone! I personally love more simple dresses too. I hope you've found or will find your dream gown!

    You're so right! Too much work and stress you definitely don't need on your wedding day

    I get wanting to be considerate, but this whole wedding can't be centered around Grandma. I'd be annoyed too if my parents said something like that!

    I'm glad everything turned out well! I can tell your friend meant well, but she was probably shopping for herself Smiley laugh

    Way to go for considering your guests first! You never know how you'll react on your fist cruise, so I totally understand passing on a cruise wedding

    My mom suggested I have a potluck which in itself is a horrible idea but even more of a head scratcher because my wedding was a DW for everyone but me and H. So how is anyone supposed to bring a dish exactly? I just pictured her like trying to boil pasta with the hotel room coffee pot the morning of the wedding or something lol.

    I can't stand when people act like virginity is an ultimate gift. I'm glad you didn't go with that cabin. Everyone would have definitely been roughing it out there!
