Author Lauriebell82 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 no, i've just been to a few "sober" weddings and they were a bit on the sedate side...people left early, few danced, no drunken disagreements between family members, etc... i'm not saying yours will be like that but you may want to encourage people to at least down a few. it'll loosen 'em up and create an atmosphere. It's not going to be a "sober" wedding. About 40 people out of 150 WONT be drinking. I hardly call that a sober wedding...
alphamale Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Wow I know! I mean some people hold nothing sacred. It's sad, really. wha ...you just agreed like 3 posts back
Author Lauriebell82 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 maybe you can serve champagne, everyone likes champagne Some of his family on his side does not drink any alcohol at all due to their religion. I did find out that some of his family does drink from his mom so there won't be as many "sober people" there as I originally thought.
alphamale Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 It's not going to be a "sober" wedding. About 40 people out of 150 WONT be drinking. I hardly call that a sober wedding... oh yea thats a normal wedding. who was saying that most won't be drinking??
alphamale Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Some of his family on his side does not drink any alcohol at all due to their religion. oh they must be moslem
Author Lauriebell82 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 oh yea thats a normal wedding. who was saying that most won't be drinking?? I don't know, but I originally thought we would be inviting more people from his side and that NONE of them drank. So there aren't going to be as many people not drinking as I thought.
Author Lauriebell82 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 oh they must be moslem No, it's a religion called Bretheran. It's a more modern form of Amish.
alphamale Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I don't know, but I originally thought we would be inviting more people from his side and that NONE of them drank. they may have a few "closet drinkers" so you may want to hide a few bottles in the nooks and crannies of the wedding hall
Touche Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 wha ...you just agreed like 3 posts back I was agreeing for ME. I didn't call someone else's wedding boring if they don't drink. Besides, my first wedding wasn't exactly boring...just not as fun as my second one.
2sure Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I know I'm coming in late here on this one - but had to agree with TBF - Party Favors are nonsense. Wonderful and Fun at a children's party. A formal wedding , not so much. Sometimes, all that extra crap only serves to bring the whole thing down on a notch.

alphamale Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 boy and people wonder how wedding planning can be so stressful

Wonderful and Fun at a children's party. A formal wedding , not so much. Sometimes, all that extra crap only serves to bring the whole thing down on a notch. Hmm, well I definately disagree that favors bring a wedding "down a notch." I've been to a few formal weddings where favors were given and it had no effect on the wedding at all.

Star Gazer Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hmm, well I definately disagree that favors bring a wedding "down a notch." I've been to a few formal weddings where favors were given and it had no effect on the wedding at all. Well, IMO, they do take it down a notch. And if they have NO effect on the wedding at all, why spend the time and money on them? WTF? Are you deliberately trying to insult my wedding? If so, please stop posting in this thread. This is a public forum, LB. Unless you stop posting, you're bound to get responses that disagree with your... idealism.
Star Gazer Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Wow I know! I mean some people hold nothing sacred. It's sad, really. For some people, it's religion. For others, it's fairytales. Who are we to judge? My gosh!
Touche Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 If you are going to be disagreeing with LB you should not be posting in this thread. I know, right! Wow, some people! Mmhmm, my thoughts exactly. You too?
Author Lauriebell82 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 Well, IMO, they do take it down a notch. And if they have NO effect on the wedding at all, why spend the time and money on them? Okay, that's your opinion then. This is a public forum, LB. Unless you stop posting, you're bound to get responses that disagree with your... idealism. Oh I know. Which is why it's my right to disagree with what you are saying.
Star Gazer Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Okay, that's your opinion then. Keep in mind that my opinion is the the same as every other poster in this thread, LB. I haven't read one person saying, "Oh yes, you must have favors!" You're the only one who thinks they're important. Oh I know. Which is why it's my right to disagree with what you are saying. Of course it is, but don't tell Alpha, or anyone else, to leave just because they're disagreeing with you. C'mon now.
Author Lauriebell82 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 I know, right! Wow, some people! You too? They can try to convince me that my idea is dumb or stupid, that's fine. It's not their wedding, it's mine.
Star Gazer Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 If you are going to be disagreeing with LB you should not be posting in this thread. That rule only applies in fantasy land. Oh, wait... BTW, Touche... did you have favors at either of your weddings? Just curious.
Author Lauriebell82 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 Anyway, lets just end the bickering before this turns in to an argument. Thanks to all for the opinions, really. I like the idea of something little like candy, I went to a wedding where they gave little hershey kisses in a dish and people seemed to like them.
2sure Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 They are only party favors...I mean, I dont like them and LB does...I wouldnt say there has been any indication that either of us feels so strongly about party favors that our life styles, values, and beliefs were based on the Party Favor Principal. It is however apparent that some posters do feel strongly regarding the issue and I'm sorry if I violated some kind of Party Favor ethic. LB - should you choose to go so far as to place Party Favors in each ladies room stall, I would defend your right to do so.
Star Gazer Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Who's bickering?? (Looking around...) All I see/hear, is a lot of laughter, LB.
