Wedding report card?




Blunt


Ladies,

I just attended a wedding in Cali, and have two more to go this wedding season. I though that it would be fun to share some of the high and low lights of the event for all of you brides from a guest's perspective.

Feel free to add comments and share youe own wedding report card, if you have been to one recently.

Venue: A Lovely outdoor lodge by the river,
Favors: D Got stupid Cd's. Nobody cared for them and left most of them behind
Invitations: C Pretty design, but assembled poorly and in a hurry. A DIY proyect gone wrong.
Wedding dress: Totally fabulous
Flowers: A+ Over $5000 spend of orchids and roses.
BM dresses: A+ Very trendy and gorgeaus
Food: C- No variety, not enough. Guests dined on mostly veggies and bowtie pasta.
Liquour: A+ Open bar, yeah baby.
The low light: The money dance. Why ??on a 30k wedding.
The highlight: Slide show of pictures of the bride and groom
Cake: B Beautiful and tasty.
Manners: C
Overall: C+
I believe that money could have been spend a little better,. They put way to much attention to centerpieces and colocr schemes, but neglected important areas such a s food and propper ettiquete. No receiving line, no greeting the guests at the tables.
read my question. This is a guide for the brides who are looking for IDEAS and to see how money is better spent. and how not to spent too much attention, money and stress in unncesesary items.
And I do disagree with some of you, a wedding is a party and you are supposed to make yoru guest feel welcomed. I spend over $2000 to attend their wedding and the least you can expect is a "thank you for coming to my wedding".
And for all the haters, don't feel too jealous. I do have a very active social life and have back-to-back upscale events. If you cannot relate to wedding ettiquette and parties, there are plenty of other question out there for the bitter and lonely people.



Answer
Ha, I love the idea of a wedding report card! (As long as it's done anonymously.)

Venue: A Outdoors at a lovely hotel.
Favors: A They didn't have any! Fine with me!
Invitations: D Sent out just a few weeks before the wedding. (Fortunately, I already knew the info ahead of time.) Not very pretty. And the groom's divorced parents were put on there as "Mr. and Mrs. X as opposed to having their own lines."
Wedding Dress: B Nice, but not fabulous.
Flowers: NA, they didn't have any. Kind of a rock garden/bonsai thing going as centerpieces.
Food: C A brunch buffet with some salad, quiche , pasta, and a few other things.
Vegan-Friendly: C I could eat salad and fruit.
Cake: F Left out in the sun from before the ceremony started, and through the meal. A food safety risk. I wouldn't have gone near the cake even if I wasn't vegan.
Alcohol: None, which was fine with me, as I don't drink.
music: Nice, 3 piece string band.
Low Light: The cake
Highlight: Beautiful outdoor wedding with weather that couldn't be more perfect.
Thank you note afterwards: C I had sent a check + a gift. I only received a thank you note for the gift sent well before the wedding, (after the wedding) but they did deposit the check.
Guest Manners: A- Great except for the one mother who didn't walk off with her noisy baby during the ceremony.
Couple's Manners: B-
Overall: B-
