I asked my best friend to be my bridesmaid she said yes, however i had a destination wedding in FL. I understand that she couldnt get off from work to come to the wedding. However, she planned a trip the week before to Desting (near Pensacola). I gave her a good 8 months notice. What made me upset was that i had my reception a week after my wedding and she did not come to that either. Said she couldn’t get off from work. She sent no card or anything saying Congrats. She didnt even meet us out for drinks after the Reception (only 20 min away from her) Should I be hurt?
Well, my wedding was great inspite of it. She is single and i know she didn’t want me to get married but ironically she set me up with my now husband. I even offered to pay for her bridesmaid dress and hotel stay. I was not a bridzilla at all. My wedding was small and just family. She said I shouldn’t have planned my wedding on that date.

I’m getting married next summer and we are interested in a beach wedding somewhere in Southern California. Ideally we would find a nice hotel (Marriott style, no need for overly fancy) that would do the ceremony and reception. We are not trying to be cheap, but we are on a budget and looking for something reasonable.
We live in Colorado, which makes it tough to find places but I have family in California and am planning on visiting to secure the venue next month.
If anyone has ANY suggestions for what we’re looking for, for a reasonable price please let me know. It is very much appreciated! Thanks!!

I’ve not been to a wedding in years but of the many I have gone to back then, one ALWAYS took the gift to the wedding reception and most often the couple opened the gifts right there and even read a few of the cards. These ranged from very formal weddings to very casual weddings.
Now I am reading up on guest etiquette and most of the sites say to ship it to the bride’s family or to the couple prior if they are living together. We don’t have a clue of either of their addresses and the wedding is at the groom’s father’s home.
I am not THAT old! Have things changed so much? It hasn’t been THAT long since I have been to a wedding and then it was unthinkable to show up without a gift unless it was a destination wedding when you obviously would not fly with your gift!
What is up with this seemingly new rule? If we don’t take the gift, we are not driving a couple of hours to take it at some point before or after the wedding. The wedding is this Sat. What do you suggest?
Most of the etiquette sites say it is because it’s a PAIN for the couple to have to LUG the gifts home. How ungrateful can they be??? It is a 6 pm wedding and they are not even serving anything but snacks at reception, so we have to try and eat before we leave home at 4 pm for the two hour drive to the wedding location and then hope we don’t starve by midnight when the thing wraps up. Is that new too- to not feed your wedding and reception guests a simple meal if only sandwich platters- something besides nuts and mints??
Also, those same sites say it is okay to wear black to a casual evening wedding but TONS of brides commented that they thought black was for funerals? I just wanted my guests to look nice!
And the bride and groom think THEY have stress before the wedding! It seems to be as tough to be a guest these days as dressing nice and providing a generous gift have too many additional strings attached it seems. LOL

I want to have an hors’deurves reception. Don’t worry, I’m going to make sure that’s clear to everyone who’s invited and I’m planning on starting the wedding at around 2pm. I don’t want a reception longer than 3 hours. Is that too short or too long?
My friend did something very similar for her wedding a couple of years ago. She had a fairly short ceremony and reception (with just hors’deurves) in the afternoon and afterwards, close family and friends went over to her parents house where we grilled out, drank hunch punch, and had a good ole time. I want to do the same type thing for my wedding. Do you think she would be mad if I copied her? I’m not copying her flowers, colors, cake, dress, decorations, or any thing like that, just the way she had the short ceremony, reception, and “after party.” I know I could just ask her but I just want to know from you ladies first if you think that it would be tacky of me to even ask her.
Yeah, I was thinking maybe a 2 hour reception, 3 hours being the max.
I was really liking the whole concept because we might have the wedding on a Sunday (because a lot of my fiance’s friends work on Saturday) and that way, people could come to the wedding and reception and not have to worry about being out late on Sunday night. Anyone invited to the wedding would be welcome to come to the after party. I just figured that whoever wants to party longer than the reception, can come on over and party some more in a more relaxed environment.
No alcohol at the reception either.
