to clarify, it was mostly the parents of our friends and things that insisted on coming but that we didn’t know very well as adults.

Another perspective on the stains on the dress: they tell the story of the day, shows that it was used when stains weren’t a concern, that’s beautiful

It’s common to have some people only come to the ceremony! I’ve been to multiple wedding where I knew them well enough to go to the ceremony but they

Agree with almost everything! My exception for plus ones is yes if the invitee doesn’t know anyone else at the wedding, because social anxiety.

that makes sense absolutely! we didn’t have that situation thankfully but imagine it would be very helpful!

I can’t imagine being a person invited to the ceremony but not the reception. 😳 That would be pretty awkward.

I can’t imagine having people that you guys didn’t know well come to the reception while saying bye to those you wanted at the ceremony… interesting!

in the uk it’s more common to have a smaller wedding ceremony and dinner reception and then invite people to the evening

There are so many people i wish I didn't invite, so freaky how many show their true colours at weddings or just after! keep it together people

it is such a shame!! i feel like a good thing that’s come out of the post-covid-wedding-world is more intimate meaningful days and guest lists! x

In the uk it’s normal to not invite everyone to the ceremony you do in the reception. The reception attendees come at night(6-7 pm) for the party!

I bought my dress second hand and it had rose petal stains that Marion Dry Cleaners got out. It looked brand new! $$$ but worth it

Yes! I hate the idea of plus ones! Like why would I invite someone I’ve never met to the most important day! I’ve been a solo invite heaps, it’s fine

one of my best friends split the wedding between ceremony and reception. wasn't aware we didn't merit the ceremony. Never spoke to her again.

I was invited tot he ceremony and not the reception which was at the same venue, it was awkward being the only one not invited to the reception

🙌🙌 yes to the no plus ones! We had 1 rule- Have we BOTH met them? If no then not invited.
