What do you make of this?

I received a Save the Date for an upcoming wedding. Inside the envelope were two color swatches. On the STD, it said " Please see enclosed color swatches for your outfit ideas for that day. Please be creative"

Tongue Tied

 

 

Re: What do you make of this?

  • Is the couple hosting a themed wedding?
  • Um, WAT? What kind of wedding are they having, and where?
  • imageaskmetostay:
    i kinda judge that couple.

    Uh, ditto. Lame. 

  • It's not a themed wedding that I am aware of and they didn't list the location on the STD. But I do know it will be somewhere in Marietta. I've never met the bride. DH is friends with the groom so I don't know much.

    Does this mean I'm supposed to wear a dress in those colors? B/c I don't have one and I wasn't planning on buying something new...

    yeah........... odd.

    Can you have your DH get in contact with the groom and in a VERY guy way say "so, uh, whats with the pieces of cloth in the invite?!"

  • Wow! They are probably trying to be "different". Instead its just LAME!

    yeah, I think that's what I will have to do. also, they didn't send actual swatches. they just printed the swatches off the website so it's actually hard to see the color clearly...

  • WTF? Very lame. Someone's taking their color theme a bit too far... I've heard of all white parties, so maybe that's where she's getting the idea from? Wow, that's stupid.
  • very strange...I'd completely ignore the swatches and wear what I want

    haha, or take "be creative!" to heart and go craaaaaazzzzyyyyy!!

  • imagesmynings_bride:

    I agree with This.

    If they were a fun couple and were doing some sort of a themed wedding and wanted to include the guests in the fun (say Halloween and everyone dressed in costumes or something) I could understand the additional information.

    Since that's obviously not what's going on, I'd say screw it and just side eye the swatch color suggestion.

  • Am I the only one that is curious what the colors were????

  • my mom said that i should wear what i want and pin the swatch to my dress. there, all done.

    omg DO IT. Its even better now that they're a PRINT OUT too. Then take pictures.

    I mean honestly, who dictates the color of the guests' ensamble?!

    purple orchid and oyster

  • Wow. I can't believe they went there. I would wear what you want to wear. Your STD got lost in the mail if they want to make a stink of it. What a bridezilla.
  • I'd wear a white dress.

  • What?!  First of all, who coordinates their wedding so that their entire guest list matches the wedding?!  Um, no thank you.  Secondly, it is very, very rude, inappropriate, disrespectful (I could go on and on), etc. to ask your guests to do that especially if it forces someone to go out and have to buy something to wear!

    I wouldn't go just because of that reason!

  • Send her back a "Save the Dress" card with torn out pictures of wedding dresses you'd like to see her in.

    This, with sparkly hair accessories.

  • Update: DH did the guy email to the groom to inquire about this. The response: "Yeah, those were the color suggestions for y'alls outfits. But don't buy your outfits just yet, we may decide to elope"

    This gets even better...

  • They sound pretty nutty.  But, if you go, have fun with it!  Do something creative, and definitely don't buy a dress in those colors!
