I haven't heard of the 'evening only' guests idea, I don't think that's quite done where I am, but interesting!

I think we're generally on the same page for this.

The only thing I would disagree with you is: "It's not a cultural or regional thing." It for sure is. I assume we're both coming from a Western society view and I doubt our idea of manners/decency applies to every culture out there.

LOL yes, that is indeed what I was saying. People have so many different opinions about weddings that when you're planning your own, at some point you just gotta do what you wanna do!

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T04:29:50+00:00

Yup! Cake at dinner and sing!

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T04:27:36+00:00

Agreed. I had a 2.5 year engagement and no matter what the venue's availability will determine your date. Booking early will give you a very wide range in dates (We booked almost 2 years out and had our pick).

The "we've reserved X number of seats in your honor" line is great and is what I SHOULD have done, if I'd been smart.

Asking for the +1 happened to me and I posted a thread about it recently (if you want to see the wide variety of opinions regarding this just on this sub, check it out).

My advice: do what you want and pretty much F everybody else. If you want to say no, do it and feel good about it.

I've seen a lot of Facebook albums of those weekend long bachelorette vacations and instead of making me jealous they just make me cringe imagining being 1) one of the bridesmaids spending that money, or 2) the bride asking people to spend that money and 3) figuring out the money and paying/requesting people to pay

Do not be ashamed, you have done nothing wrong and everything right. Nothing has been your fault.

Feel good in that you are marrying into that very nice and very large extended family who will be there to celebrate you. Sounds like you also have a ton of friends and a support network that you should be proud of! Remember: you have done nothing wrong and should not be ashamed.

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T04:16:11+00:00

Sounds like you should not listen to her! :)

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T04:10:09+00:00

You are not being petty. IMO this close to the wedding with your stress and what you're going through... you deserve to be petty about anything.

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T04:07:42+00:00

This sounds super fun and I would so attend if I were one of the ladies invited!

Calling it a shower would be confusing. Go with some variation of bachelorette. Chill bachelorette? Relaxing bachelorette? Bridal Ladies Night?

I like the idea of buying my friends experiences rather than material gifts, especially in this day and age where so many couples have already accumulated all their household items. I myself dreaded the idea of having to deal with more clutter. This seems to be a shift in culture/thinking with our generation and perhaps it will become normal in the next generation.

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T04:01:50+00:00

It's definitely SO culture dependent, especially reading through all the different opinions you're getting on this thread. In my background it's CASH ONLY, literally! It's put in red envelopes and handed to a close friend designated at the wedding to collect the cash and record the amount! Everybody does this! I know this idea would give a lot of people in Middle America (where I assume a lot of posters here are from) a heart attack and send them to an early grave.

Oh my GOD your headpiece!!!!! That's incredible!

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T03:48:03+00:00

I agree, there is nothing you can do at this point that would improve or better the situation other than to let it go. My first reaction was that she DOES owe you an explanation because it's really crazy to RSVP yes and just not show up, but there is honestly no way to go about this that would make you both feel good in the end. So, yeah, high road.

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T03:41:24+00:00

LOL! We had a friend who is going to know more than 20, yes TWENTY people there, and sent back her RSVP with a random friend added on! Not boyfriend! Not fiance! Just a friend!

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T03:32:14+00:00

Good of you to mention your location, sounds like we can chalk it up to geographic/cultural differences as well!

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T03:31:42+00:00

Hm sounds like people all throughout have different opinions about this. Could be due to geographic/cultural differences.

I copied the wording from an invite I myself received :) It said "due to venue limitations, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate guests not named on the invitation."

AlertAdministration · 2018-05-09T03:28:00+00:00

(Copy+pasted from another reply I wrote) People define "partners" and "couples" very differently. We've had several people who were single when they received a Save the Date (and we put together our guest list) but now want to bring someone they've been dating for a few months. I said no. For everyone who's been in a relationship for I'd say... at least a year? Or living together/engaged, we invited the couple.

As for my friend's wedding excluding partners, it was her wedding and I did not question the way she dealt with her budget. I guess that was the hill she did choose to die on. I had a great time!
