Totally feel you on this. I don’t disagree with putting effort into the details, but for us we’re realizing that a simpler and more stress free time is priority. I’m already feeling the stress and we’ve barely done anything yet, haha!

Location sure matters more to us. Great point in making that distinction vs prioritizing date. Luckily our families haven’t at all been pushy about any expectations or requests! Thanks for your insight, Ann.

The list is a great starting point. Really, the memories blur and other things replace them: new home, children, travels. Do you remember what the bride wore at any weddings you attended, especially more than a couple of years ago? What color was your napkin? The flowers? Did you care the next day? Do you care now? But do you remember which ones were relaxed (relatively) and fun? Just saying to be thoughtful about choices, but expensive and unnecessary details are not the same as nice and personal.

That wedding list is not legitmate, unless the couple is going to the justice of the peace! You’ve known your fiance for 11 years– your families have seen you two grow and evolve. Once the place for the ceremony has been determined and the venue for the reception has been decided — check when they are available and then book them- some places may be booked for a year plus in advance — so please don’t settle for a back up and go elsewhere for your special, wonderful, amazing day!! Once the locations are booked, take your time planning. If you are your folks’ only daughter — please realize they too may have some thoughts on how they’d like to celebrate this momentous occasion– so ask them if they do. My friend was determind to get married 11-11-2011, so she had a list of three places for the reception, fortunately one was available for her wonderful day. I’m just saying you need to decide if date or location matters most. If it’s location, then let the availability determine the length of your engagement.

Haha I love your honesty. I totally agree, I don’t think I ever would have said I judge wedding invitations but you’re right that they are the first impression, and also that they don’t have to be crazy either. I haven’t even thought that far ahead of what mine will be like. Not in a rush, either ;).

I agree with a few of those “10 things people don’t care about” post but I definitely judge people by their invitation haha! I think it’s the first glimpse at what their wedding will be like! I don’t think it means you have to spend a ton of money on them but I have definitely been turned off when people use a hard to read font or something. Thanks for sharing that coaster DIY too btw I thought it was way cute.
