I am going to a wedding with my boyfriend, who is in the wedding band and is also a groomsmen, I have never met the bride or groom but would like to get them a gift. What should I get them? I have no idea if they are registered anywhere and the wedding is fairly soon.. Any Ideas?
Ok, so my fiance and I have been engaged for 6 months and are beginning to prepare our wedding. An aquaintance/friend of ours got engaged a couple of weeks ago and have begun planning straight away. We have had a particular date set for a while and the other bride has gone and booked on our date and is now telling people that I’m trying to compete which is really not me…to the point of it kinda being funny. I don’t really mind sharing the same date. We have separate venues and it would only affect a handful of guests who would be invited to both. The only problem is that my brother is a groomsman and the other groom wants him in the wedding (my brother will of course be at ours) but he other groomsmen doesn’t seem to want to put the foot down with his bride. My question is…how do I deal with this situation? How do I deal with the bullying? Do you think the other groom will put his foot down? I’m very easy going usually but the bullying and being made to feel is making me feel uptight? Should I just brush it off as there problem and how do I do that? Thanks in advance.I know it’s a long bunch of questions but any help/advice is appreciated.
By "being bullied" I mean writing nasty things on facebook. Not being bullied into doing anything. Just being bullied in general which just doesn’t feel right. I’m not bothered about our ‘guest clashes’…whoever comes comes…it’s about us getting married and that’s all that matters. Thanks for the advice so far! It’s great to hear other opinions
Wedding is in Deadwood, SD, a ‘destination’ wedding place. Casinos and really relaxed. However the bride is wearing a formal gown and the groomsmen are wearing tuxedos. Mother of the bride is not formal; wearing a tea length dress; not a ‘mother-of-the-bride’ dress.
Wedding is at a Hotel and reception is at a restaraunt.
What do you get for your parents for paying for your wedding.
Do you get your mom and dad a gift seperately?
What about the groomsmen family will it be a different gift?
My mom likes Belleek stuff so was thinking of getting a large frame by that company and put our photo in it, could this be for my dad too?
I am the best man in an upcoming wedding the groomsmen and i don’t have a lot of money so we decided to pool our money for the wedding gift but its mainly for the groom. Are we obligated to get something for the bride too?
Is it just the groom and groomsmen that have a say in the tuxedo choosing? Does it matter if they choose something that doesn’t match the bride’s dress or wedding colors?
Im reposting because after i read some of the answers i called my friend up and had a heart to heart. I dont believe she is a horrible girl, she is just really selfish but what she did was horrible and i know i didnt help but i was so confused.
Here was my post:
"This past sunday was my friend’s wedding and me and my other friend were bridesmaids. The bride is friends with her too of course.
Well my friend took the brides engagement ring while she was getting ready.
The wedding ceremony was at this hall where there are rooms upstairs for the wedding party to get ready so i was in another room with some of the other girls and i didn’t know what was going on.
Later when i was on a different floor helping one of the young groomsmen with their suit, my friend pulled me aside and told me how she saw the engagement ring in this little porcelain shell on the bathroom sink and she pocketed it. I was shocked for a minute and thought it was a joke but then we went into one of the hallways and told me no one saw and that she couldn’t blame us for doing it because we are only 2 out of the 6 bridesmaids that were getting ready upstairs and she said it could easily be blamed that someone working in the hall could of seen it and taken it.
I asked why the hell would she do that and she said it was just lying around and it could easily be replaced by the brides insurance or the hall can pay for it. We had to pay 0 each for our dresses so my friend was a little pissed at that because she doesn’t have much money and the bride was bugging her to be in the wedding. She thought it was a little steep to pay for a dress.
So i was trying to justify it even though i knew it was wrong but i didn’t know what i could really do without making a scene.
I was really uneasy and when the bride got ready all of us were called together by her wedding planner and we were informed that her ring was misplaced and for us to look before the ceremony.
NO other bridesmaids knew my friend took it. We know the other girls, but were not really close with them. I felt bad because the bride was all teary and we had to stop looking to start the ceremony but she looked so upset and it was killing me. The whole wedding was awkward and the bride didn’t even show up for the reception and i feel like ****. I talked to my friend about it that night because she was staying at my apartment since she lives a little over 4 hours away and she said its over now and the bride didn’t accuse anyone so were safe and she will just get the money its worth from the hall.
I feel soooooo bad, im not a bad person. and even though im not best friends with the bride and im closer to my bridesmaid friend i still didn’t want her to be hurt. I don’t know how to make it right between both of them and i dint want to have negative feelings with either. If i tell on my friend she still wont give it back and she will hate me. And if i keep quiet the bride cant hate me because she wouldn’t know. The bride might just get another ring on her honeymoon right? Or can she really get the money from the hall? if she can replace it i would feel much better.
This is my first time using yahoo answers, im just looking for some advice.
I think she did take it because of the money issue with the expensive bridesmaid dress. I know it doesnt justify it or anything and i told her she could of backed down or complain but its not going to do anything now.
I told her we could mail it without a return address or tell the bride we found it after like in tissues or our makeup cases since we brought all our stuff there.
My friend said that one of us could go back to the hall and say we found it in the grass somewhere and the hall could contact the bride. I dont want to push her on this since i dont want her to change her mind? i had to threaten with telling on her but i feel better now that were making progress on this?
Would her plan work?
The couple is getting married in a church and their reception is at a nice golf course. There are 8 groomsmen and 8 bridesmaids any creative photos for this large party? There are three flower girls & three ring bearers. Do you have any great ideas of unusual and creative photos of the bride & groom alone or with their Wedding party?
Does the bride pay for the dresses or do the bridesmaids and flower girls pay for their own dresses? what about the ushers and the groomsmen? Do they pay to rent their tuxes?
I am needing a Photographer to do a Pre-Wedding Bridal Shoot at the Dallas Arboretuem as well as 2 hours before my wedding of me and my Bridesmaids and the Groom and his Groomsmen, The Wedding itself and then Family with us (bride and Groom) after the wedding. Then of course the Reception. What is the going rate for this??
