But you know that you can say, "Thanks, but no thanks." I did just that. My MOH got pretty upset with me because I told her I didn't want a bridal shower, even though she offered to plan one. By accepting, and (I assume) providing the host(s) with a guest list, the B&G are money grabbing because it's a party to fundraise for a party.
And that right there is the bulk of the issue.
The majority of money raised will go toward the reception (OPTIONAL) or honeymoon (OPTIONAL).
Can I throw a party to pay for my vacation? LMK.
God, GM, that would be tacky as fuck. Everyone knows you do a GFM for vacations.
Heh? It's stupid to see the world we live in? It's stupid to visit another culture? It's stupid to broaden your horizons?
This UO is super stupid.
No I am all for visiting the world, broadening horizons, experiencing other cultures. I am just irrationally afraid of the number and calibre of venomous things in Australia.
Have you read "In a Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson? He is also equally amazed/freakedthefuckout by how easy it is to die in Australia from the wildlife. It's a funny book. Bill is great.

Haha no I haven't I'll have to check that out. I like books with comedy. The one Gerry D wrote about his time teaching was also hilarious and relatable.

Etf: he spells it with a G
Oh, YES. Then read Bill. I think I've read everything by him.

The secret to good icing is it shouldn't taste sweet. If that makes sense. Extracts are essential. A little rose water, a litter almond and vanilla extract. A little lemon juice. I like a little vegetable shortening to give it body.
I feel like I need to make you some cupcakes.
That sounds complicated. My frosting is butter, milk, sugar and vanilla. YUMMMM

Stags have been around forever and the main point is to help raise money for the groom. 50/50 raffles etc. MH had a combo stag/bachelor party. This was because his family wanted a stag and his friends wanted a bachelor party so his best man threw him a combo one.
Huh. I'd never heard of just a stag. What would be the point of raising money for only the groom? Serious question. Also I think this may be a local/region-specific thing? around here they are very common. But I hear the pearl clutching from a lot of people elsewhere.
ghostmonkey - I get the you need to be able to afford your own shit thing. But it's not about the couple money-grabbing to have a fancier wedding. It's about friends offering to lesson the financial burden I guess is the way I see it? The couple has already decided what they can afford.
Winning at UO today lol
As someone from the same place as her I will confirm that they are common. They always thrown by the couple from what I have seen. The Bride plays the role of dictator and their bridal party has to sell tickets to it.
I have always declined the invitation because I think they are tacky as fuck. Ugh. I came from the West Coast though so before moving here I had never heard of one.
I REAAALLLLY hate them though. Even if the bridal party threw it without the bride being involved I would hate it. I get invited to them for people I dont know every year.

Piggybacking on this, the vast amount of lemon-flavored desserts are WAY too sweet.
Actually, allow me to amend. Most desserts. In general. Too much sugar and too much vanilla. Scale yo' shit back.

I feel like you need to provide a recipe. And directions on where to buy/what is rose water? Lol this sounds amazing.

HOLY FUCK! That is COMPLETELY different then the stags I've heard of. That is indeed tacky as fuck.
I just tried to google silverfish so I could enlighten those of you who don't know what they are, and I am so freaked out I can't even look at the page to pick a picture.
Nope. Absolutely awful. Devil spawn. Most horrifying creation on earth. Probably in the universe. Horror movie monsters are cuddlier.
One night I woke up because a silverfish was crawling up my leg!

Da fuq?
Bride's miads gotta sell dose tickets... If I was a bride's maid as my friend asked me to help her plan a S&D I would peace out immediately. Like I am going to pay for a shower, a bachelorette, a dress, hair and makeup, possibly a hotel room for the event, and oh I have to also help fundraise your wedding.
