Looking to incorporate your wedding colors into your wedding party? Brighten up your bridesmaids with a little pre-wedding gift they can don on the big day. These gorgeous earrings from Madame Mathilde are a chic way to bring bright pops of color into the little details.
It’s customary for the bridal party to host the bridal shower… but what happens with the invitation when the bridal party is more than just a few people? We’ve seen invitations that simply state “hosted by the bridal party” and then we’ve seen ones that have a roster of names taking up half the invitation. We can definitely see pros and cons for each. What would you do? Would you insist on having your name on the invite (even if it was one of many)? Would you go with something more generic for the sake of the aesthetic of the invite?
Let us know what you think. Is it tacky to have a laundry list of names? Is it only fair to include everyone? Rant or rave!
Week after week, we field an endless array of questions about wedding planning and etiquette—and today we spent some time talking about guest lists and significant others.
According to etiquette authority Emily Post, spouses, fiancées/fiancés, and live-in partners must be invited, while an invitation to a boyfriend or girlfriend is up to the bride and groom’s discretion. Do you agree?
Should guests only be allowed a plus one if they are married, engaged or living with their significant other? What about bridesmaids and groomsmen—should wedding party members be the exception to the rule? Rant or rave about it!
