There are 4 loads of laundry piled on my bed just waiting to be put away. I'm laying on top of it all playing on my phone and reading. #priorities
I have a load of laundry in the washing machine that will go in the dryer when I get home. And then I'm sure the next load will get tossed in the dryer on top of that. And I will keep adding more clothes until there is no more space. Only then will I actually fold anything.
I feel like I'm going to regret jumping in here, and I'm not trying to be a WK, but while I do agree that @emilie818 maybe should have said "many" people or something along those lines, I think the general statement is correct, that it's not crazy or weird to have a wedding website. Nor is it inappropriate to put things on there that you want guests to know. We had one, made sure to have the link on our Save the Dates. Might have been on an insert in our invitations, but I'm not sure, and thinking about it, I think probably not.
But we knew our guests. H and I keep up with the majority of the people we invited to our wedding on social media, so it was safe to assume that they could go to our website for information. Some things we made sure to print out, like our guide to the city for our out-of-town guests. Those were printed and put into the gift bags we had placed in their hotel rooms for them. Otherwise, you could either ask us (or one of our moms), or check the site. If that's not the case with your guest list, then provide pertinent information other ways.
I know I'm going to regret posting this somehow, some way. Flame away.
I hate when people say do/stupid shit and then issue the challenge to be flamed.
Fair enough and point taken. I misunderstood the conversation anyway, so like I said, moving right along.
Another FFFC- and feel free to flame- I don't think that specifying what you'd like for wedding gifts is tacky. Gift giving is part of the whole ordeal now (has anyone ever not brought a gift?). The gap between the act of gifting and the taboo of **gasp** telling someone what you might like or appreciate seems outdated.
There will always be someone willing to push it to the edge, but I don't think that including registries or asking for cash is rude or presumptuous. I think it makes things easier and less stressful all around.
We had 80 people at our wedding. Twenty gave us gifts.
We didn't care, but to your comment of whether there really are people who don't gift? The answer is yes.
Whenever someone asked us what we wanted (mentioned buying a gift for our wedding) I told them to keep their money and just come help us celebrate. It is my 2nd marriage and DH's 1st and all we care about is that our friends and family had a good time. as to the bar situation. We paid for all of the beer, pendleton whisky (DH's favorite) and Kinky (my favorite) if you bought anything besides those drinks, you paid for it. The way it was we spent $1000+ on the bar tab and we had over 300 guests attend.
I've said this before, but I really wish they'd go the way of the dodo.
My family never used to do showers actually. It was very uncommon until recently. I didn't go to my first one until my friend's shower when I was 24. Now I've been to tons of bridal and baby showers. I don't MIND them besides the fact that they are boring.
+1. My family didn't do baby showers. (My sister was the first because her girlfriends planned the whole thing and surprised her) I don't know why but the 1st birthday was traditionally the bigger deal. (I just assumed it was because we were poor)
FFFC: I don't want a baby shower and it makes my sister mad. (Though she didn't want one when she was first pregnant)

My 2nd FFFC: I've worn the exact same pair of shorts three days this week...and they're a very bold, very unique pattern, so everyone knew I was wearing the same exact shorts three out of five days this week.
The unspoken public shame was easier to bear than the thought of trying to catch up on laundry.
I feel that if I am a guest in your home you should cater to my every whim. I should not have to wonder where that towel has been. I should be the one to remove the tags from them. The thought that the towel I am wiping my face with may have wiped your vagina or husband balls does not sit well with me.
I think you should BYOT if you want a brand new towel.
It's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames.
GM likes T Swift AND frankenboom? Are you okay?? Are you trying to send us a signal? If you need help, tell me you're currenly wearing leggings as pants.
