I’m justgoing to spell it out. Top five things that should not happen at your wedding.IF it does, please feel free to get all bridezilla on the offending party… unless, of course, you are the offender, in which case read this for your daily dose of prevention.
1. Drink tickets, don’t even think about it. It’s more than okay to have a cash bar but don’t you dare hand out tickets, even if in some way you’ve tied it into your theme. Change your theme. NOT COOL. And yeah I’ve encountered the drink ticket wedding, they’ve been known to happen.
2. Dear Bridesmaids and Groomsmen: it’s a wedding, not a frat party. Your job isn’t to break the keg stand record from your college party days. This goes for you bridesmaids as well, remember you’re wearing a dress please don’t get so drunk you forget that YOU’RE WEARING A DRESS! It’s great to drink, especially when the alcohol is
free, but you’re not the center of attention this day. Make sure your Bride and Groom are the one’s
partying it up. Save the crazy for the bars after the reception.
3. Way too personal toast… Here’s to you Mr. Over sharer, keep it short, sweet and simple. Please don’t let the whole room know that the Groom’s nickname in college was “Lady Slayer” or that on a dare he…………. This is a
wedding toast not a roast of Charlie Sheen.
4. Remember, newly Mr. and Mrs, to thank your guests for attending. Both of you should say something heartfelt and thankful. It can be hard to remember with everything going on, but both of you should stand up and endure the awkward moment of being thankful and grateful to everyone in the room.
5. Single bridesmaids, you can’t take the DJ/staff home with you. I know the DJ was playing all your songs, he’s a great dancer especially when he’s doing the icebreakers to get people moving, you’re the only single bridesmaid out there yadda, yadda, yadda. Staff stays, you go. (This also goes for members of the Bride and/or Groom’s
family. You know what, if you came alone, you should probably leave alone!)
Enough Said,
Cheers,
