If you pick out the raisins first, of course.

My wedding is in August and I sent out invitation specifying the amount of people that person can bring but now all these people are adding in two and three time more of guest of what was permitted and most of these guest are children. How do I tell them that I did not want a bunch of children at my wedding because it is not a birthday party its a wedding. Plus were I am getting married they count the children as a adult and my wedding reception alone went from 6000$ to 8000$ all in children and people who were not invited how do I go about telling people that its only one guest per person? Note: these are only people who are not family and very very close family I let them bring who ever they wanted but why should I have to pay all this money for people who I never even invited?

I know some of you guys are going to be haters on this subject, but I am getting married May 31, 2008. This is both our second marriage, but my first marriage was when I was 19 and lasted a couple months (did not have a wedding) and his first marriage lasted 7 years and she cheated on him twice. So anyway, we are having a wedding w about 100-150 people. Between the two of us, we have four children (one for me, three for him) so instead of a honeymoon, we are doing a family vacation to california (where my whole family is from) to do the disneyland/sea world/universal studios/ and san diego zoo package. We will all be out there for about 12 days. We own everything we need for a house, etc, so i was wondering if there is any appropriate way to suggest monetery gifts rather then the normal/traditional wedding gifts? I know they do honeymoon registries, so we were kinda hoping to get money to help pay for our honeymoon/family vacation instead. I do not want to be tacky though.

I have a friend that's getting married at the end of July. I'm not going to her wedding...Should I send the gift with the Regret or wait until it's closer to the wedding and mail one?

I am a Bride-to-Be, about to be married in 19 days and I am really excited to be getting married to the man of my dreams. Lately though, I have getting really depressed and moody & it really doesn't feel like I am getting married. I have gone through a lot of family drama through the whole wedding process and because of it my parents won't be at the wedding. I don't know if all this depressing and sadness (about my parents) is just coming to a head or whats wrong with me, but I wanna enjoy these next couple weeks and I need some ideas on how I can do this. Any of you ladies experienced this before your weddings? Honest and helpful answers need only apply! Thank you!

We're having a USO themed 1940s inspired wedding, and instead of another baggie of nasty jordan almonds to send home with our guests, my husband and I were thinking of putting a blank thank you care in a stamped and addressed envelope and having guests write thank yous to our troops over seas-- what do you guys think? And where on earth to get over 100 addresses of guys and gals over seas??? We have 3 or 4 friends in Iraq but we'll need more addys than that-- thanks for all your help!!

I know they aren't obligated to but I wonder if the new tradition of having older couples stand on their own two feet is starting a bad trend.

I currently have 3 brides I'm designing for, all are 21 or younger. When they were asked why they were getting married now it's because if they waited any longer the parents would not pay since they were "adults". One bride even told me it's OK if she gets divorced in a few years because she got a free party and tons of presents she wouldn't have gotten if she waited until she was sure he was the right guy.

It leaves me wondering if couples are jumping into commitment early to get the wedding paid for....what do you guys think?

Is it wrong to not serve a meal at a wedding? My fiance and I are travelling to our own wedding closer to our families to make sure everyone can attend. We plan to get married in the early evening and planned to serve a midnight cold buffet with salads,buns, deli trays, and other little munchies. Is that wrong of us or would you do it? any other suggestions? thanks to you all in advance. Cheers!

In the book Owlsight, Mercedes Lackey includes a Bonding ceremony (marriage) in which both bride and groom wear elaborate embroyered robes over simpler dress and these robes, it says, are displayed on walls as art and worn on anniversaries.
What do you think of this as an alternative to only dressing nicely (my choice) or to a hugely expensive white dress that is never worn again ("my daughter will wear it" she says, having refused to wear her mother's or grandmothers' dress.)?
A robe, cape, or shawl which might show family history, crests, living locations, interests of the person (or couple) or art based on their aspirations?

I am not trying to be mean because I know that people wrack their brains and spend good money on them, but I don't bother taking any home and if it's forced on me I just toss it. I would rather see a card at the table stating " In lieu of a favor, we have spent the money on blankety blank charity."Does anyone else feel or do the same thing?

My son is getting married for the third time and is angry that I will not attend the wedding. I take care of my 84 year old mother who cannot travel and there is no family around to help me. I do not have the money to hire anyone for a couple of days plus it will cost me almost a thousand dollars to get to the wedding with air, car rental, hotel, etc.
My son told me that if I do not attend this big, lavish wedding that he no longer wants me in his life and he will never speak to me again.
This is so unfair isn't it??? His fiancee also wrote me an email and was rude, disrespectful and threatening to me.
I feel bad for not being there but financially cannot afford it. I do not want to put my mother in a home for 3 days as she has dimentia and is confused already and I made a committment to her 2 years ago to take care of her.
Does anyone out there have any advice for how to tell my son I cannot come without him disowning me ? thanks, mary
