Bad wedding ideas/trends

Have you guys seen this yet? http://elitedaily.com/envision/the-latest-trend-for-bridesmaids-is-to-pull-up-their-dresses-and-show-off-their-butts-photos/645024/
It's been popping up on my FB a lot today.

Would you do it?

What other weird or bad ideas have you seen in weddings lately?

Re: Bad wedding ideas/trends

  • There's no way in hell I'd show my ass for a wedding photo. Nope nope nope. I think it looks trashy.

    We are going to a wedding next month that has a mock-tail hour. The bride decided no alcohol during the cocktail hour because some of the groom's family "has issues" with alcohol. Huh? Then it's not a cocktail hour, call it something else... hors d'oeuvre (I had to look that spelling up). But then there's alcohol for dinner and dancing?
  • Uh, no way in hell would I show my ass for a wedding photo!  It has been popping up on my newsfeed as well.  

    and @quirky75....that makes absolutely no sense!  Either alcohol for the whole thing or none at all!

  • That ass thing is dumb -- why anybody would want to do that is beyond me.

    We are invited to two weddings this summer and neither is following etiquette, in my opinion. First one we got a STD for and it said no invitation will come, consider this your invitation. No idea if there's dinner, drinks, nothing. WTF

    Second is absolutely ridiculous, and we won't go, as it's a three-hour drive and we aren't all that close to the couple. All this I gleaned from the wedding website: wedding is outside, then there will be a break between that and the "dessert and cocktail" reception. It actually said on there that this break would be a perfect time for us to get dinner. There are a few restaurants right by where the reception hall is! With a link to their registry. Also they spelled "dessert" "desert," so maybe there will be no food or drinks at all.

    Seriously, what assholes.

  • Wow @sdose13, that's insane!  Two of my friends are getting married.  One got married in May, and the other is getting married next month.  The one that got married in May, said it was immediate family only.  No big deal.  What kind of irked me a little bit, was when pictures were posted, some friends were there as well.  It was definitely bigger than immediate family only.  But, they had a "reception" in June.  I was invited to it...it said no gifts, but please bring a side dish. I ended up not going, since DH had to work.  I was glad, because I think it was mainly a family gathering.

    Next friend is getting married in Florida, but they're having a party/reception at some point when they get back.  I guess I don't understand the parties/receptions after the fact.  What exactly do you do??

  • @quirky75‌ I don't get the no alcohol/ alcohol thing. Doesn't make sense.

    I haven't been to any weddings recently. My two close friends are getting married next year. From talking to them so far it sounds like they will be even better hosts then I was. If that's so I'm happy. They learned from me and any mistakes I may have made. I'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed.

    As for the trend. I texted them that link and told them I don't love them that much. They were as appalled as I was.

    It's one of those things you will look back on and go "what was I thinking".

    This is what one friend texted me:

    Who wants to flip through their wedding book with kids years later and see their asses? "And her's grandma smith and look my ass and your aunt rose's ass" "Yep your grandma had a nice ass back in the day, here Timmy let me show you!"

    Why send a Save the Date, then?  Just send a frickin invite!  So weird.


    And the ass thing is extremely trashy and no one needs to see that.  If they were wearing bikini bottoms that said something on the butt or something I could see where someone would think it's a cute idea, however just showing your undies is beyond ridiculous.
