Quite possibly the tackiest wedding invite EVER

Ready for it:

 

Kiddie Kiddlestein is proud to announce the marriage of her mommy:

Bride and her daddy, Groom  on such and such a day at ADDRESS (which is their backyard so it goes on to say:) Please dress wedding appropriate. 

Mom and Dad already have so many things, and their wish is to take a vacation (without me waaaahhhh)  Please join me and the rest of the family in donating to their registry for their honeymoon. My mom and dad work really hard and deserve it.

 

***KID IS NOT EVEN 2 SO THIS WAS CLEARLY WRITTEN BY THE PARENTS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK THAT THEY HAD NOTHIGN TO DO WITH THE RUDENESS....THOUGHTS?

Re: Quite possibly the tackiest wedding invite EVER

  • They're trying to be cute and original. Of course a 2 year old didn't write the invitation.

    If there is a registry of any kind -- it's not to be mentioned in any type of invitation. People will ask --- then it is okay to say "We have a registry that is x, y or z." Until then, say nothingl.
  • Tarpon I agree. I mean I know that the kid didn't write it.. but I cannot imagine in a wedding inviatation talking through my kid that I deserve a vacation and I deserve for you to pay for it.  Again if they want thatfor a registry who cares but never mention it in an invite

    Maybe wait until you were settled enough to get married to someone before you had a kid... And you would've been able to pay for a fooking vacation yourselves!

    Yep -- if they ask the bride or the groom, then they can mention they have a registry for whatever, or when the honor attendant or bride's mother or whoever close to the bride is asked. Sheesh....put no registry info in an invite whatsoever.

  • Wowwww that is nuts

  • I'd say that 4 out of the last 5 wedding invites I've received have included registry information. I've also seen an alarming uptick in honeymoon registries or straight-up demands for cash money.

    When did people become so gauche? I've started taking the stance that if registry info was mailed to me in the invite, then I send along my regrets and that's it. 

    This is my siggy.
  • How incredibly tacky.  If I were so fortunate to have everything I needed (and god help me, I am) I don't think I'd demand money from my loved ones for stuff I wanted and 'deserved'. Jesus. What a couple of jerks. 
    SO SINGS MY SOUL *WHAM!* MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE *WHAM!* HOW GREAT THOU ART *WHAM!* HOW GREAT THOU ART *WHAM!*
  • the "deserve" part kills me. Yes

     

  • Omg no one should ask their guests for money or vacation!!! Gross.

  • I'm wondering what in the world constitutes "wedding appropriate" in a backyard.  

    Well, and how they decided they deserve a trip they don't have to pay for...

    But, BUT - it's the KID asking!!!  Isn't that just so cute?  Can't you overlook the total tackiness of it?  I mean- the CUTENESS!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • Every wedding invitation I've ever received (and it's a lot) has ALWAYS had the registry info on it. I honestly didn't know, you're not supposed to put that info in there. With that being said, it's completely rude to flat out say you deserve something on the invite! It's also annoying to have the kid "talking"...
  • There are tacky invites and then there's this one.

    I'd be sending my regrets for that one, no doubt.

    Oh, FFS.

    It's a little bit better if it's on the shower invites, but I've never seen that info on the actual wedding invites.

  • I would take it further, send her back an RSVP from your pet. "My Mommy and Daddy would love to come, but only if you are serving Lobster and steak prepared byt a five star restaurant. Please include a doggy bag for me in your servings."
