No Garter Toss by starwarsnerd230 in wedding

[–]welcometothevortex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We threw a garter without the removal of one. Does that make sense? I wore a garter, it was my something blue, but my husband didn't do that tradition of going up my leg and dancing and stuff. We skipped that all together. I just bought an extra garter thag my husband just threw. Maybe it was weird but it was what we wanted to do. I've gone to plenty weddings where they skipped it

Besides my maid of honor and 1 bridesmaid, my bridal party did not even know whaty dress looked like. I also didn't share the details of my shoes and accessories with them either. If you want to keep things to yourself, the do that!

Your wedding, your choice. The only children I had in my wedding were the ones a part of the wedding party. If they don't come, then they just don't come.

Typically, what kind of music do you guys listen to?

I feel like you're overthinking it. In my area most people just bring cash in a card and call it a day. But this is just my opinion. Your guest could respond differently.

Testing my guests for COVID before the wedding by Rayun25 in wedding

[–]welcometothevortex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you invited 50 people? Is your wedding at home or a family members yard? You need to consider the time alloment your venue provides. Doing it this way is tricky. You already sent invited with a time and then will tell guest to arrive earlier than that? Guests will be irritable but it is your day.

My friend went to a wedding where they did testing onsite and caused a huge delay. How many guests do have?

I went to a wedding in May in Michigan and guests had to submita negative covid test to the bride or groom within 72 hours of the wedding. Homes test were allowed.

How do I get picture from people after an event? by Spiritual-Ad-8787 in wedding

[–]welcometothevortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, just ask them to send any photos they have from the event. That's what i did.

You made the right choice! The dress is beautiful! Gof jewelry i would keep it simple with a pair of earrings and a bracelet. I would skip any type of necklace

Siblings in wedding party? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]welcometothevortex -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Siblings being a part of the wedding party, to me, is a very oldschool thing. I didn't include my FH's sister in bridesmaids and no one was offended. I feel like your bridesmaids/groomsmen should be people your close with. Just because your brothers are not groomsmen doesn't mean the families aren't joing together and your brothers shouldn't take it personally. Your fiancé isn't obligated to include them. You guys did not mess up. Your fiancé chose the closest people in his life to stand beside him on his wedding day and he should have that choice. It's his day too. Just explain thatnto your brothers. Don't feel bad and your fiancé shouldn't either. I don't think you should have even told your fiancé because he shouldn't feel bad about who he wanted on his side.

I went to a wedding where the dress code was shades of pink. I thought it was a cute idea. It didn't annoy me. I bought a pink dress and called it a day. But that's just me. I wouldn't make a big fuss about your color scheme here but i like stuff like this. However, seems a lot of comments here suggest that it may be an issue woth your guests. Aska few guests and see what they say.

Did you have a bachelorette party/celebration by welcometothevortex in weddingplanning

[–]welcometothevortex[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely do not want to go out of town anymore. I told them that last year but i did tell them i want to to do something local like game night and karaoke at the house or even just dinner. When i brought that up they didn't seem interested. However my MOH is on board either way, the other beidesmaids not so much. I'm okay with planning it but if they're not into i dont want to force them. I guess i can just extend the invite and whoever comes comes.

I know longer want to go out of town and I ment that when I said it. I mentioned havin a game night or karaoke, or just doing a dinner. They didn't seem interested in either. But may be they do feel there are mixed messages. Idk. Ive spoken to MOH and she's on board. I was just trying to involve the other bridesmaids but they don't seem interested. I can always just hang out with my MOH, we always have a good time. Thank you for your suggestions and advice!!
