    The groom and best man in their "morning attire"? :D

    Groom "Are you sure it says morning attire"?
    Best man "Yes look, it says here on the invitation"

    Can someone arrange to filch a set of the bride's nightwear, be it a nightie or pyjamas, and wear that to the wedding?

    "National dress, No.1 dress, Morning Attire or Lounge Suits."

    Well that's as tacky as wet varnish, mixing No 1 with Lounge Suits.

    The implication is that anyone who turns up in a Lounge Suit couldn't afford the hire cost for a penguin.

    Just accept the invitation, and have diplomatic food poisoning on the day. "And I'm so sorry about the present but I was rushing to the loo and knocked it off the shelf and it smashed"
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    Even though I'm finding it very funny to laugh about the Bridezilla, I in turn find it extremely rude and controlling to specify what people have to wear or have their facial hair etc.
    Life is full of vibrance and taste, I welcomed anyone to wear what they thought was appropriate on my wedding day. I wore a blue dress so wasn't exactly traditional. I have a lot of different friends with different styles (chavvy, rocky, punky etc) I would embrace everyone putting their own individual twist on everything, not seek to make them uniformed drones!
    I'm never offended by debate & opinions. As a wise man called Voltaire once said, "I disagree with what you say, but will defend until death your right to say it."
    Mortgage is my only debt - Original mortgage - January 2008 = £88,400, March 2014 = £47,000 Chipping away slowly! Now saving to move.

    Oh you lot are making me laugh....flippin hilarious. There are some very crazy people in this world and it looks like the bride is one of them.
    A website for your forthcoming wedding...away with the fairies that one is :):)

    I agree with almost everything on this thread apart from this - it makes loads of sense, particularly MSE sense! It is free and you can put all the info on it like maps, gift list, online RSVP - which means the invitation literally has to be one piece of paper, without the extra inserts of map, RSVP card, menu options, info about local hotels...etc etc...that all cost money to print!

    A bridezilla is the name us wedding planners give to brides that make unreasonable demands as well as constantly changing their minds.

    I have never heard of people not being able to have facial hair that is just plain nuts.
    I would be inclined to ask why and then decide whether or not to attend, if you don't attend then think of it as moneysaving in that you don't need to buy new clothes or buy a present.:D

    I think you'll find they require a different kind of shaving.:eek:
    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    Maybe the bride is planning on doing a similar thing to the one mentioned who asked people not to wear black :rotfl::rotfl:


    One wedding I was invited to had an A4 sheet inside with info on parking, hotels etc, and also included stuff along these lines:

    'we don't want sulky teenagers at the wedding so please don't bring them if they don't want to be there'

    'children - ours will be going at 6pm as we do not want small children running around during the evening reception'

    'please take any children that start crying during the service outside, as we would all prefer to hear the service'

    Sensible really, but going a bit far IMO!!
