I had the house to myself last night and decided to finally watch the Katy Perry movie. I absolutely LOVED it! Like, I want to watch it again right now.
I'm wistfully thinking of that glorious wedding to where the favor was homemade jam and I ate the jam as my dessert because they had all-wheaty desserts. That was the best day.
I ate all of the jam out of a bowl with a spoon at a little restaurant we went to a couple weeks ago. It was DELICIOUS and practically apple/rhubarb sauce anyway so why not???
HECK YES.
That's exactly what I did. I just sat there with the jar and a spoon and ate it.
I don't know if this is flameful or not.. I really don't understand the point of a doula. Just seems like something else to spend money on. I don't want anyone in my room 24/7 encouraging me to do anything. Encouragement annoys me lol.
Ha! This is me too. I've wondered if I was missing something.
meggers5 Have your FI call my friends Jane & Joe (not real names) who have 37 champagne flutes in their pantry emblazoned with "JANE AND JOE 6.25.05" because nooooooo one wanted them. :-)
We know 2 different couples that did engraved champagne flutes. Both of them had at least half of them left behind...and we only took them from one of those weddings because on the way out, the bride was all "Oh! You forgot your favors! Here, let's go back for them while we say goodbye"
Edible, all the way! If any get left behind, more for you!!!!

Meh, different strokes for different folks.
It wasn't my thing, but I'm sure a lot of people benefit from having them.

They also do stuff like come to your house and cook, do laundry, and hold the baby when you want to take a shower (for about a week after the birth). Plus a lot of them do placenta encapsulation. They're very supportive before, during, and after birth.
I went to a wedding last weekend and the favor was a bottle of wine with the bride and groom's names on the label. I don't want to think about what that cost them, but it's the only favor I've ever gotten at a wedding that topped food. I don't want stuff, I want wine!
That's not a flameful, but maybe helpful?
Flameful: I smoked a cigarette with the bride at the wedding. I don't smoke (but it was delicious, I'd had probably 8 glasses of wine by then).

I want our wedding favours to be maple sugar candies (esp because there will be many non-Canadians there). FI thinks it should be an item, and that people don't want food. He likes how his cousin gave little dishes at his wedding for favours. Nobody wants a fucking dish and I am not spending all that money on shit that people don't want.
It's his wedding too, compromise, blah blah blah.
don't compromise when you are right - no one (but your Mom) wants things - food is the perfect favor - if you even want to do favors. Seriously, no one will care if you don't do it.

HOLY CRAP. They are either loaded or had 5 guests lol.
My dress was from David's Bridal, apparently that's flameful here?
I once had a stress dream leading up to our wedding that I ended up in a polyester David's Bridal gown* even though I had already bought mine in real life (not from DB). lol
Embarrassingly snooty of me but my dress was very important.
*I realize they probably offer a wide variety of fabrics

Also, much like party favors for a child's birthday party, I don't think Wedding favors are necessary and a great way to cut cost.
Speaking of FB, my FIL told my aunt (who he has never met) on Facebook that lard makes your hair darker. Um.... okay, thanks FIL. My ILs fucking annoy me on FB soooo much.

The rage in my life dramatically dropped off when I stopped following my ILs on facebook.

I think there were about 80 guests!
I haven't drank the wine yet, so it might be terrible lol.
I think they do ok financially but aren't loaded. She's a teacher. Her parents have 4 daughters so this was their 4th wedding they paid for :? (assuming they paid, I guess)

FI is wrong. Food is the best wedding favor. /gavel
Truth. I gave soft pretzels individually wrapped with a label and a Gulden's mustard packet.

Relatives on FB make it suck. Unfortunately for me, my dad is the most annoying person for me. He shares all these political memes and articles, likes that he shared it, comments, then likes his own comment. A FEW TIMES A DAY. It's mostly stuff about raising the minimum wage and anti-war, so it could be worse I suppose. If he was a tea-partier or something, lol. BUT IT'S EMBARRASSING. TO ME.

Haha. I get it. On top of all that's annoying, MIL and FIL ARE Tea Partiers and FIL post shit allllll the time. Every.Fucking.Day. And it's always Fox news.
