Continuing saga of the over-the-top wedding
Dude, sorry about the computer freak.out. It posted a million times. Some of you will know where this is coming from, others will be confused. It's okay, it's still pretty entertaining.
When we last checked in with the happy couple, they had just sent out an STD again directing all of their would-be guests to their wedding website. This is the website with the wedding store where you can purchase items and services from the couple to help pay for their uber-expensive Florida resort/Disneyworld wedding and month-long European honeymoon. The website also goes into extensive detail about the $300+/night resort where the wedding will be held, along with all of the extra events taking place that weekend - all cash events that are paid for by guests should they choose to attend.
The STD instructed us to see the RSVP page of the website. This page said we needed to RSVP whether or not we thought we would attend the wedding. If we said "no" we would not receive a formal inviation. If we did not respond yes or no we would not get a formal invitation. We said no since we hardly know the couple and have better things to drop a thousand or so bucks on this spring.
Imagine my surpise when I received a formal invitation in the mail this weekend. It is covered in purple Cinderalla Castle graphics from the envelope to the RSVP card. When I opened the outer envelope, I was presented with, not 2...not 3...but 4 registry cards. They were on top. Cause you know, that's the most important part.
ETA: Oh yeah, AND I forgot about this part. We are good friends with the groom's brother and wife. Very good friends. This is how we know the couple. They all live in Colorado. The wedding is going to be so expensive for the wedding party/our friends between the attire, the extra events, and the lodging, that they will probably have to miss our other friends' wedding in SC later in the year.

I don't get it. What happens if no one buys the crap they are selling? Who pays for it then? I think weddings are great but should not put anyone in debt in order to attend.
LOL! If I get a chance later I totally will.
please do. this invite sounds fab! i might regret having not gone with their design for our wedding!
That's crap. I can't believe how over the top the whole thing is, esp when it is such a burden on those required to attend. It's one thing to have a destination wedding, but not require a wedding party/ expesive events, etc.
I wanna take peek at their registry!
I don't want to post their personal info, but believe me, it's extravagent. Just the honeymoon registry alone is nuts. I get registering for a massage on your Disney Cruise, but registering for the gratuities? Weird.

And isn't this just basically asking for cash? They requested 30 increments:

No way, dude. Its asking you to fund their fantasy. In $10 increments. And they'd like 30 of them.
t to the r to the a to the s to the h to the y.
yikes. I think you should send her a wedding etiquette book as a "present."
Hahahaha! Yes!
I got a bridal shower invitation last week that was pretty awful, but nothing like this!
Invitation: Via Facebook, directly from the bride.
Location: "Rachel Mom" ... do you mean Rachel's (the bride) Mom's house? And would you like to give us an address ... neighborhood ... city? Anything to hint at where this will take place?
Registered comments: "...Come shower us with gifts and love..." and then two lines later, "...did you see that i said gifts :-p"
Oh and the pictures on the invite ... include one of her sitting in his lap in a bikini.
Keep these details coming!
In my bag: Canon 60D, 50mm 1.4, Tamron 28-75 2.8, 430exii
