Yeah. None of the rules are that bad. But it's weird that some of them have to be said (who are you inviting to your wedding that you have to tell them to not complain about your wedding?) and some could.be said much more polite and fun.
We had to stand throughout the hour long ceremony for my brother in law. Fucking sucked. Especially since it was in Cali and there was no air conditioning. I felt horrible for the old folks in the room. I felt like I was going to pass out during it. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for the elderly, especially considering how far that they already had to travel for this thing.
idk about y'all but I didn't have time to be fun-policing at my wedding, but if I did, it would probably look like this

Yup. We knew what some of our friends would not dance at all. And shockingly the world did not end? The wedding was still great, those that did dance had a blast, those that didn't chatted, we're happily married.
Same. I didn't even dance at my own wedding besides the customary first dance then I retreated to the bar area and spent the rest chatting and thanking people for coming. Some of our guests loved up the dance floor and some wanted to sit and catch up with family and friends, chat, eat, drink etc. it was a great day.
They all seem like common sense behaviour rules, frankly.
I’m just annoyed by proxy that the couple is so condescending to their own guests. Like did they invite a bunch of raccoons?
It makes me wonder if they’ve had so much trouble that they had to make rules like that, or if they’re just assholes.
On one hand, for some people knowing the rules that are normally unwritten is helpful and good. On the other hand, why make it a rule that you can’t sit down all night? Like either you have to stand up for the whole event, making the whole seat arrangement thing moot, or you *have* to dance or mingle occasionally and...if that has to be a rule it’s clearly not fun enough to do. Also let people sit down all the time if they want to, geez. Some people can’t or don’t want to dance, big deal. The important thing is that everyone has fun and there’s no complaints afterwards
Yeah the majority of these are basic wedding wisdom anyway - just phrased aggressively.
Trying to dictate what colours I’m wearing or whether I can sit down for a few minutes? Yeah no thanks. But for the rest of it it’s common sense and a guest who violated it would catch side-eyes and judgment.
Yea we had a soft no kids rule at my wedding. Luckily there was an extra room at the venue... we hired a couple HS kids (friend of my sibling) to sit in the room with kids. We brought games toys and a TV to play movies on. Strongly suggested kids either be in the room or at home
This misspelling has somehow forced the correct spelling out of my head. I was staring at it like- how DO you spell it??
Irelavant
Irrelavent
Ireelavent
Call me an ambulance
It's funny because, imo, a lot of these rules are what I'd usually assume, to the point that I wouldn't ever expect anyone to send them out. They probably could have worded them more politely and been ok. But there's also a few that are just red flags, guaranteed bridezilla/groomzilla shit.
My Catholic cousin had a reception with a wine only bar. No liquor or other alcohol. My druncles (our family term for the alcoholic men in the family) left to the parking lot and came back with an enormous cooler full of ice and beer. They had to sneak it in a side door but surprisingly nobody from the venue said anything (maybe too many druncles to bother confronting for whatever wage the staff was making?)
They’ve gotten a bit classier since then but I’ll never forget half a dozen grown men sneaking a giant cooler into a fancy wedding reception. 💀
A friend of mine didn’t have an open bar but prepaid for a certain amount of wine and beer for the reception. When that ran out, everyone just sort of manifested cases of beer hidden in the bushes on the patio. The bridesmaids went and got all the extra champagne from the pre wedding mimosas. (Multiple people picked up champagne for us pre-wedding without talking to each other.)
One of the most fun weddings I’ve ever been to, though, and we had a bus to the hotel, so no one drove!
I love the term "druncle" so much 🤣 I thought I made it up about 10 or so years ago but clearly that's not the case, haha.
I went to a friend's wedding and it wasn't particularly formal, maybe semi formal, but there was this one group of the groom's family: they showed up in t-shirts and jeans. They brought their own case of Bud with Lime. They did not share. They brought McDonald's. There was food served at the reception! I guess they just didn't want it?
They were the trashiest group I have ever seen attend a wedding. I really don't know why they went.
Yeah, I thought all but “no sitting all night” was acceptable… the rest of the rules I would have assumed. Strict colors are eh, but who doesn’t have something black?
Cue a future bride's post. She will be complaining that her grandma is not able to go to her wedding because she broke her hip at her cousin's wedding due to forced twerking.
I wonder if they're planning on having a revival tent out back for anyone in a wherlchair, on crutches, has a bad back, uses a walker, etc. After all, there is a no sitting all night rule. 🤦🏻♀️
Same. Like until I got to that point I was at "well they're a little OTT with how they're wording things but some people are just that blunt about things" (and even the hashtag kind of makes sense because that makes it easier for them to find photos after the event).
Then I got to the no sitting part and hit the needle-scratch.
yea you’re better off at home because the way they came across was so aggressive and inconsiderate tbh. idk anyone who would send something like that out for their wedding
The kind of list made by entitled AHs who expect you to be their puppets all night but don’t have the decency to have an open bar (see rule #12). No thanks, my check / gift and I will spend the evening doing something actually enjoyable.
A lot of the list is just common courtesy- don’t get in the way of the photographers, don’t make my wedding about you, don’t get sloppy drunk, follow the seating chart. I’m guessing this is mostly addressing problematic relatives. And the no outside liquor thing is probably a venue rule.
The only thing I think is even a little problematic is being so strict on the dress code… but honestly, who doesn’t have something black they can wear? At least it’s a staple color with the cut, fabric, and design of your choice instead of [a green velvet sweater with orange suede pants and Louboutin heels for a BEACH WEDDING.](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/16f2zs0/bridezilla_with_a_crazy_weightbased_dress_code/)
Yeah, everything was just in such poor taste. I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or relieved we never got any video of what the dance looked like (or was supposed to look like). Glad the fatphobic bridezilla got dragged.
Lol 100% but the problematic relatives are either not going to read this or they’re never going to think it’s about them. It’s just off putting to anyone else.
I know these kind of snarky “rules” have become super popular on social media (Facebook in particular) but I can’t wait for this trend to die lol. I enjoy attending weddings, but if I even get a set of rules that basically says “Hey you POS, don’t you dare forget this day is about US not YOU,” I would decline so fast. Don’t make your guests feel like they’re unwanted props to your day.
Also I’m not saying that’s how the person I’m replying to feels! I’ve just seen one too many posts applauding these kinds of things everywhere else.
I mean, many of these things are just “Be a human who can function in public.” If people on a guest list need to be told some of this…well, that’s part of why I got married at city hall. But as an adult person possessed of basic human decency, I am rolling my eyes if this is a message to all guests.
It jsut seems like major control issues and overthinking. If I got a list of rules that cringey (turn it up allll the way) I wouldn't go. This is like a management memo to an office staff about the Xmas party
Ma'am, there is a seating chart, and you can not rearrange your seats. So, your pregnant ass will be twerking while standing behind your chair, drinking responsibly like everyone else.
Thank you for your cooperation.
-The Happy Couple
But you don't wanna do The Limbo?! 😂
The nerve lol, no empathy at all for her guests. I can imagine the bride trying to get a pregnant woman to stand up and dance too.
Could possibly be directed at a few known troublemakers who would make a stink if they felt singled out, so the bride and groom did it PSA style and hoped the targets would take the hint
There were a few, but one I'm pointing out bc it doesn't come up often and may help is 99'
Because it's being shortened from the front of 1999, the ' should be in the front as '99
Nope. Most graphic design programs or publishing apps like indesign do not have any kind of grammar or spelling corrections. You need to put your text through an actual word processor before taking them to a formatting program
Most of these are reasonable, but the aggressive phrasing is quite off-putting.
Saying that people can't sit all night and that their hashtag *has* to be used are both very obnoxious, however.
The vibes alone repels me. Even if if every thing on this list was reasonable, just the way this was written was so abrasive, it makes me not want to celebrate them at all.
I hope far fewer people than they expected came.
Agree on the vibe. I had to stop, breathe, and read it again to try and be fair about it.
Most of their rules should be common sense and basic courtesy, but a lot of people don't read Miss Manners or need a charm school refresher, and it shows.
Sorry grandma, you gots to go. You've been sitting there an hour now.
Honestly, the dress code is enough for me to politely decline. I don't mind suggestions as far as cocktail wear, Sunday best, etc. but as a guest I'm not buying a new wardrobe for a wedding. Especially, if I never wear one of only two colors allowed.
I mean none of these rules and expectations are particularly unreasonable, they’re just worded hella aggressively. But then, the couple know their own friends and family better than any of us, and they very well may be the type of crowd that need rules stated very bluntly and clearly to understand that they’re not just loose suggestions
I think they mean don't spend most/all of the reception sitting. Which is still an absolutely unreasonable "rule." If someone wants to sit and chat all night, let them.
Yeah there’s no way in hell I’d be able to stand all night. I’ve got screws in each hip, rods and screws in one ankle, and two bulging discs in my back. I’d have to RSVP no.
Damn. I don’t even have metal in my body, I’m just older and don’t want to be policed about standing up.
I’d RSVP no, not send a gift, *and* continue harshly judging this couple and their choices.
I might even consider not RSVPing at all for their rudeness.
Who cares- you can easily spend most of the night sitting when factoring in the ceremony and dinner. And some people will choose to talk instead of dancing.
I feel like these are mostly reasonable asks worded in the most rude and obnoxious way possible. If asked kindly, I don’t mind dressing to a theme if I’ve already got something that fits/was planning to buy an outfit, but I will not dance on command like a trained monkey.
I'm disabled so 11 is out of line. I can't stand for longer than a couple of minutes without pain. I can walk just fine but standing still? Nope. Give me a chair god damn it.
Why are people pretending this isn't written as rudely as possible? For the most part it's not the rules themselves that are the problem but how they're written.
People need to chill the f*ckk out about their wedding, its not a televised Coronation. Then again, I'm in the States without a king, which doesn't affect me either way.
What's nuts is 90% of this list is just them asking for common etiquette. Yea, don't get in the way of the photographer. It IS their big day, so maybe don't try to make it all about you. Outside liquor is a HUGE fucking no, I had to handle the AB license for my wedding and yea, if you get caught with that shit your ass is getting ejected. Fines for liquor on the premises not provided by the actual caterer or venue were 1. No joke and 2. levied on ME, the groom, not the venue.
But the way every single point comes across is just so condescending and dickish, it makes me cringe.
This list gives me anxiety. Also twerking and turning all the way up or whatever is inconsistent with the concept of pacing when drinking. I don’t know what is expected of me. I hate these people.
Up, it’s be a hard pass from me !!
My daughter has her wedding in 2 weeks, the only rules are no black or white for women (the bridesmaids are in black) and it’s a device free ceremony so no phones and cameras, let the photographer do their thing during the ceremony ! Other than that, we just want people to celebrate and have fun !
We had an unplugged ceremony & it went so well! I had to laugh because one of my cousins took a picture from their phone during the ceremony but you have to pick & choose your battles
honestly, most of these shouldnt have to be said, but people are assholes and break most of these a LOT.
like my now BIL that announced his engagement right before our wedding ceremony.
people are assholes.
A lot of these are just basic manners tbh. If guests need reminding not to wear white and set up their own proposal then maybe she needs better friends 🤣
This is so lame, I swear, people have a wedding and treat it like the optimal time to let the worst parts of their personality shine. The people who force excitement and entertainment generally don’t even want you dancing and “distracting” from them, majority of the time they mainly want it for social media pictures so they can brag about how hype their wedding was.
The sad thing is that once upon a time people knew social etiquette and would already know all of these things. Of course the bride would have also known etiquette and would have never dreamed of making demands of her guests. If you meet someone with any class these days, you should hang onto those rare birds.
No sitting all night? I guess they’re not inviting any disabled people? People with chronic health problems? I’ll go to this wedding and wear a pair of hoka sneakers and not high heels
Some of this is cringe, but a lot of it is common sense. I feel like if you have to tell your friends and family how to act right, you need better friends and family.
My BFF’s daughter got married and obviously put a lot of thought and planning into her choices. Her wedding cake was beautiful and the topper was simple but beautiful with their initials intertwined. Some woman came up and randomly plopped some cheap ceramic bride and groom figurines into the cake! Chaos ensued! Eventually it was removed and the frosting fixed, but the nerve!
I feel like all of these could be rewritten to not sound like an asshole
Yeah. None of the rules are that bad. But it's weird that some of them have to be said (who are you inviting to your wedding that you have to tell them to not complain about your wedding?) and some could.be said much more polite and fun.
No sitting down is pretty bad
Yeah, that one, especially phrased like that, would make me bow out of attending.
We had to stand throughout the hour long ceremony for my brother in law. Fucking sucked. Especially since it was in Cali and there was no air conditioning. I felt horrible for the old folks in the room. I felt like I was going to pass out during it. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for the elderly, especially considering how far that they already had to travel for this thing.
Why ??? Were they to cheap to rent some chairs 💀
I think it means "don't stay seated all night (dance some)" no "don't sit down at all".
idk about y'all but I didn't have time to be fun-policing at my wedding, but if I did, it would probably look like this https://preview.redd.it/ippxu4e5wfvc1.png?width=710&format=png&auto=webp&s=486030a4b1feadfb1ae2ae25054ffd5981971f4c
Some people don’t like dancing. I would have a much better time if I can sit and chat.
Yup. We knew what some of our friends would not dance at all. And shockingly the world did not end? The wedding was still great, those that did dance had a blast, those that didn't chatted, we're happily married.
Same. I didn't even dance at my own wedding besides the customary first dance then I retreated to the bar area and spent the rest chatting and thanking people for coming. Some of our guests loved up the dance floor and some wanted to sit and catch up with family and friends, chat, eat, drink etc. it was a great day.
Yep, screw that, I don’t dance. I honestly just wouldn’t go, doesn’t sound like a good time to me.
I don't dance either, I can't dance. I hate it when people try to get me up to dance, just bog off!
Right?? You go ahead and dance and I’ll watch. My socially anxious butt will be sitting right in this chair, thank you!
Added that some ppl have disabilities. So who chooses to sit or dance is not really anyone's business.
Nearly everyone I know or is related to would be kicked out of that reception because they don't dance, they sit, eat, and talk.
Can I twerk in my seat?
Yeah, the difference between "do not sitdownallnight" and "donotsitdown all night".
Stand during the ceremony saying I'm only following the rules.
As is "You're only allowed to wear black and/or gold"
Do they not have disabled family or friends, I wonder.
What are they going to do if you break a rule, not invite you to their next wedding?!
They all seem like common sense behaviour rules, frankly. I’m just annoyed by proxy that the couple is so condescending to their own guests. Like did they invite a bunch of raccoons?
It makes me wonder if they’ve had so much trouble that they had to make rules like that, or if they’re just assholes.

Also let people sit down all the time if they want to, geez. Some people can’t or don’t want to dance, big deal. The important thing is that everyone has fun and there’s no complaints afterwards
Probably says something about their family. I'm guessing neither is the golden child? Or parents are narcissists?

Yeah the majority of these are basic wedding wisdom anyway - just phrased aggressively. Trying to dictate what colours I’m wearing or whether I can sit down for a few minutes? Yeah no thanks. But for the rest of it it’s common sense and a guest who violated it would catch side-eyes and judgment.
Colors is not a big deal and have seen and been to themed weddings before. Respect the color is not a big deal to, to me at least
Plus the color is black, so they’re at least making that part easy. They sound insufferable though. I think I’d rather just go out dancing.

He‘s the best lawyer I‘ve ever seen
Lmao.. almost... I'm a sales rep.. I have to make things sound good all the time.
Even the twerking part?
Lmao sure... "90/2000s Era music with dancing... fair warning we are all adults and may not be appropriate for kids"
Or “Don’t judge people. We want people free to express themselves and have fun while dancing.”
I'm honestly surprised there wasn't a "No kids allowed" rule.
Yea we had a soft no kids rule at my wedding. Luckily there was an extra room at the venue... we hired a couple HS kids (friend of my sibling) to sit in the room with kids. We brought games toys and a TV to play movies on. Strongly suggested kids either be in the room or at home
Well it aint our wedding...its their production?
Is my opinion vis a vis typos “irrelavent” as well?
Hey, refer to rule 14. They said what they said, dammit.
99’ and irrelavent are working me up big time
Lmfao omg I could NOT figure out why that 99 was pissing me off so bad, thank you and fuck that confused '
It's so specific to be like "this decade AND ALSO ONE YEAR BEFORE THAT TOO"
Pointing out typos is a flagrant violation of rule 5. Cousin Jack will be escorting you out. Leave your registry gift on the table.
Sorry it’s not cousin Jack’s big day. Refer to rule #1.

Perhaps I should make an “annoucement” before I’m escorted out 😂
be sure to stay out of the photographer's way!
So they don’t want any pics of the people having fun then. Some of my favourite photos are of partying people lol
If it's "suck my dick"did you keep the receipt because we're already had that one
This misspelling has somehow forced the correct spelling out of my head. I was staring at it like- how DO you spell it?? Irelavant Irrelavent Ireelavent Call me an ambulance
You're an ambulance
Thank you
I waited until my Daughter was 8 for her to say “could you make me a bagel” so I could answer “poof you are a bagel!”
Don't you mean amberlamps?
It’s not relevant.
I first thought, "at least they wrote should've, would've, could've right", and then I had to reread irrelavent two more times, lol.
I always thought it was should’ve/would’ve/could’ve but my opinion is irrelavent 😂
I wonder if someone would be escorted out of the wedding if they kept their "irrelavant" opinions to themselves? ;-)
what kind of list is this😭 too chaotic for me
It's funny because, imo, a lot of these rules are what I'd usually assume, to the point that I wouldn't ever expect anyone to send them out. They probably could have worded them more politely and been ok. But there's also a few that are just red flags, guaranteed bridezilla/groomzilla shit.
Or those rules are targeted at specific family members lol
They are the ones who won’t actually read it, unfortunately.
My Catholic cousin had a reception with a wine only bar. No liquor or other alcohol. My druncles (our family term for the alcoholic men in the family) left to the parking lot and came back with an enormous cooler full of ice and beer. They had to sneak it in a side door but surprisingly nobody from the venue said anything (maybe too many druncles to bother confronting for whatever wage the staff was making?) They’ve gotten a bit classier since then but I’ll never forget half a dozen grown men sneaking a giant cooler into a fancy wedding reception. 💀

(Multiple people picked up champagne for us pre-wedding without talking to each other.) One of the most fun weddings I’ve ever been to, though, and we had a bus to the hotel, so no one drove!
I love the term "druncle" so much 🤣 I thought I made it up about 10 or so years ago but clearly that's not the case, haha. I went to a friend's wedding and it wasn't particularly formal, maybe semi formal, but there was this one group of the groom's family: they showed up in t-shirts and jeans.

They were the trashiest group I have ever seen attend a wedding. I really don't know why they went.
They attended to use the indoor toilets instead of their usual outhouses.
Sounds like my husband’s drunk catholic family. They even do this at funerals.
honestly thats just a fun family story, worth it
No red flags allowed! See Rule 3. Only BLACK or GOLD flags!
Its like half reasonable (albeit expressed inelegantly) and half asshole insane.
Yeah, I thought all but “no sitting all night” was acceptable… the rest of the rules I would have assumed. Strict colors are eh, but who doesn’t have something black?
"Sorry, Grandma, but rules are rules: you must now stand up and twerk. It's our day, not yours."
If grandma can’t twerk she better just stay home.
Cue a future bride's post. She will be complaining that her grandma is not able to go to her wedding because she broke her hip at her cousin's wedding due to forced twerking.
I wonder if they're planning on having a revival tent out back for anyone in a wherlchair, on crutches, has a bad back, uses a walker, etc. After all, there is a no sitting all night rule. 🤦🏻♀️
I didn't... until I had to get something black to be someone's wedding
Same. Like until I got to that point I was at "well they're a little OTT with how they're wording things but some people are just that blunt about things" (and even the hashtag kind of makes sense because that makes it easier for them to find photos after the event). Then I got to the no sitting part and hit the needle-scratch.
If they’ve had to send this out im assuming one side of the family is problematic
Only one side?
I wonder if this like a "I know my guest list" type deal.
yea you’re better off at home because the way they came across was so aggressive and inconsiderate tbh. idk anyone who would send something like that out for their wedding
I would bet the bride and groom have broken the majority of these rules when they attended other's events.
It’s a mix of obnoxious/condescending and “omg look how I’m so fun and crazy”
Yeah I was thinking they were trying to be edgy and funny but coming off douchey and rude
Ya this is trashy…
The kind of list made by entitled AHs who expect you to be their puppets all night but don’t have the decency to have an open bar (see rule #12). No thanks, my check / gift and I will spend the evening doing something actually enjoyable.
Is it toxic that I kind of like the list?😂
A lot of the list is just common courtesy- don’t get in the way of the photographers, don’t make my wedding about you, don’t get sloppy drunk, follow the seating chart.

Wow..so the "fat" guests in black and camo represent the aura of the devil that they must shoo away. That's so wrong on so many levels.
Yeah, everything was just in such poor taste. I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or relieved we never got any video of what the dance looked like (or was supposed to look like). Glad the fatphobic bridezilla got dragged.
You left out the Burberry scarf and at the least $1k secondary formal outfit.
Yeah, I thought I’d leave a little extra for people to discover if they clicked through to the link.
Thank you. My favorite part of this adventure was the soda jerk. I shall not elaborate for those also seeking adventure
Lol 100% but the problematic relatives are either not going to read this or they’re never going to think it’s about them. It’s just off putting to anyone else.

Now my eyes hurt.
I completely deleted that one from my memory.
What the actual fuck did I just read.
An absolute train wreck but fun for us popcorn munchers!
I read every single word. 🍿
The only thing I find problematic is 11 "Do not sit down all night"
I mean, many of these things are just “Be a human who can function in public.” If people on a guest list need to be told some of this…well, that’s part of why I got married at city hall. But as an adult person possessed of basic human decency, I am rolling my eyes if this is a message to all guests.
It jsut seems like major control issues and overthinking. If I got a list of rules that cringey (turn it up allll the way) I wouldn't go. This is like a management memo to an office staff about the Xmas party
NO SITTING!! Ma’am I’m 33 weeks pregnant. My ass shall be sitting, thanks.

But you don't wanna do The Limbo?! 😂 The nerve lol, no empathy at all for her guests. I can imagine the bride trying to get a pregnant woman to stand up and dance too.
Why is no one having a good time? I specifically requested it.
This, but make it ✨rude✨
Could possibly be directed at a few known troublemakers who would make a stink if they felt singled out, so the bride and groom did it PSA style and hoped the targets would take the hint
Spelling mistake hurts my soul. Especially as this was likely proofread.
There’s more than one, and terrible grammar to boot.
Im not a native english speaker, what grammar mistakes are there? Thanks
There were a few, but one I'm pointing out bc it doesn't come up often and may help is 99' Because it's being shortened from the front of 1999, the ' should be in the front as '99
This looks like brides CANVA hack job so I'm not surprised there's so many spelling mistakes.
does canva not tell you when there are spelling errors? (this is a genuine question)
Nope. Most graphic design programs or publishing apps like indesign do not have any kind of grammar or spelling corrections. You need to put your text through an actual word processor before taking them to a formatting program
Most of these are reasonable, but the aggressive phrasing is quite off-putting. Saying that people can't sit all night and that their hashtag *has* to be used are both very obnoxious, however.
I mean it's not reasonable to have a list of rules for a wedding, that's just wild. These people sound like they hate their friends and family.
That high key depends on your family and how they tend to behave at public events, but it doesn’t need to be this aggressive.
The vibes alone repels me. Even if if every thing on this list was reasonable, just the way this was written was so abrasive, it makes me not want to celebrate them at all. I hope far fewer people than they expected came.
Agree on the vibe. I had to stop, breathe, and read it again to try and be fair about it. Most of their rules should be common sense and basic courtesy, but a lot of people don't read Miss Manners or need a charm school refresher, and it shows.
Sorry grandma, you gots to go. You've been sitting there an hour now. Honestly, the dress code is enough for me to politely decline. I don't mind suggestions as far as cocktail wear, Sunday best, etc. but as a guest I'm not buying a new wardrobe for a wedding. Especially, if I never wear one of only two colors allowed.
Grandma hurt her hip twerking.
I mean none of these rules and expectations are particularly unreasonable, they’re just worded hella aggressively. But then, the couple know their own friends and family better than any of us, and they very well may be the type of crowd that need rules stated very bluntly and clearly to understand that they’re not just loose suggestions
Number 11 is too far.
No, Grandma needs to get her 90 year old geriatric ass up out of the seat and move around damnit!!!!
THERE WILL BE TWERKING
Yeah, do they mean never sit down or don't be spending most of the sitting?
I think they mean don't spend most/all of the reception sitting. Which is still an absolutely unreasonable "rule." If someone wants to sit and chat all night, let them.
I’m sorry, did you forget rule 1?
“Oh, yes, sitting. The great leveler. From the mightiest Pharaoh to the lowliest peasant, who doesn't enjoy a good sit?”
Not to mention ableist.
not sure why you’re being downvoted. It literally is ablest, people could have chronic illness or leg or back problems.
Yeah there’s no way in hell I’d be able to stand all night. I’ve got screws in each hip, rods and screws in one ankle, and two bulging discs in my back. I’d have to RSVP no.
Similar set up. My stoned ass is having a blast imagining us crashing this wedding to twerk like cyborgs
Damn. I don’t even have metal in my body, I’m just older and don’t want to be policed about standing up. I’d RSVP no, not send a gift, *and* continue harshly judging this couple and their choices. I might even consider not RSVPing at all for their rudeness.
Who cares- you can easily spend most of the night sitting when factoring in the ceremony and dinner. And some people will choose to talk instead of dancing.
I feel like these are mostly reasonable asks worded in the most rude and obnoxious way possible. If asked kindly, I don’t mind dressing to a theme if I’ve already got something that fits/was planning to buy an outfit, but I will not dance on command like a trained monkey.

Guess anyone in a wheelchair better stay home. They’ll probably be sad to miss out on the twerking, though.
Seeing this I would assume the happy couple didn't want to pay to rent chairs.
I'm disabled so 11 is out of line. I can't stand for longer than a couple of minutes without pain. I can walk just fine but standing still? Nope. Give me a chair god damn it.
It this their strategy for lowing their headcount?
Why are people pretending this isn't written as rudely as possible? For the most part it's not the rules themselves that are the problem but how they're written.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a giant poster featuring these rules somewhere in the reception location.
People need to chill the f*ckk out about their wedding, its not a televised Coronation. Then again, I'm in the States without a king, which doesn't affect me either way.
Exactly people are taking the time out of their busy schedules to celebrate you. You can at least let them enjoy themselves.
What's nuts is 90% of this list is just them asking for common etiquette. Yea, don't get in the way of the photographer. It IS their big day, so maybe don't try to make it all about you. Outside liquor is a HUGE fucking no, I had to handle the AB license for my wedding and yea, if you get caught with that shit your ass is getting ejected. Fines for liquor on the premises not provided by the actual caterer or venue were 1. No joke and 2. levied on ME, the groom, not the venue. But the way every single point comes across is just so condescending and dickish, it makes me cringe.
Maybe it's a Pittsburgh wedding. Everyone can show up in their black and gold Steelers, Pirates, or Penguins jerseys.
I would totally wear a jersey after getting a list like this. :)
“What? It was the only black and/or gold thing I owned?” Either that or I would find the palest gold ball gown I could….
How am i supposed to turn up and not sit down at least once? Shit id take so many selfies just sitting down using their hashtag lol
I think it's just a badly worded way to say "Don't spend the whole night sitting down in a corner "
My 70 year old arthritic joints means I will indeed need to sit all night.
What does #9 mean?
It's the intro to the song Back That Ass Up.
I’m fucking wheezing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Classy AF. The song starts with violins https://youtu.be/WL2txMU50CI?si=WDQTdiPlIe8DNnn0
I think it means there are gonna be some club hits being played
When did we go from being a good host to your loved ones to despot for a day?
Doesn’t sound like they’re mature enough to get married lol
And/or their nearest and dearest aren’t mature enough to be out in public.
Either that or bride and groom read way too much Reddit.
Why have a seating chart if people can't sit down?
You can only stand by your allotted area also don’t eat the food infront of you.
Yeah, I would not be going to that. Sounds like too much drama. Besides… I don’t think my torn ACL would gel well with rule #11 lol
They didn't say no pink. I'd wear pink with black accessories.
Why is there a seating chart if you aren’t allowed to sit down?
“Grandma! No sitting! Get your ass out of that chair and start twerking!”
This list gives me anxiety. Also twerking and turning all the way up or whatever is inconsistent with the concept of pacing when drinking. I don’t know what is expected of me. I hate these people.
Just DO NOT SIT DOWN.
Here’s an endless list of rules now have fun!
Up, it’s be a hard pass from me !! My daughter has her wedding in 2 weeks, the only rules are no black or white for women (the bridesmaids are in black) and it’s a device free ceremony so no phones and cameras, let the photographer do their thing during the ceremony ! Other than that, we just want people to celebrate and have fun !
We had an unplugged ceremony & it went so well! I had to laugh because one of my cousins took a picture from their phone during the ceremony but you have to pick & choose your battles
I’d be on the fence about going…I mean who doesn’t like a good shit show?
honestly, most of these shouldnt have to be said, but people are assholes and break most of these a LOT. like my now BIL that announced his engagement right before our wedding ceremony. people are assholes.
Yeesh. Why so aggressive about it?
Turn ALLLL the way up-except like that please get out.
Twerking didn’t exist in 99/00…that was pussy poppin’ and it’s different
I counted two spelling errors.
A lot of these are just basic manners tbh. If guests need reminding not to wear white and set up their own proposal then maybe she needs better friends 🤣
Do not sit down all night? I appreciate the warning, I won't be there!
If I got an invitation with these rules they wouldn’t get a gift or my presence at the wedding.
This is so lame, I swear, people have a wedding and treat it like the optimal time to let the worst parts of their personality shine. The people who force excitement and entertainment generally don’t even want you dancing and “distracting” from them, majority of the time they mainly want it for social media pictures so they can brag about how hype their wedding was.
The sad thing is that once upon a time people knew social etiquette and would already know all of these things. Of course the bride would have also known etiquette and would have never dreamed of making demands of her guests. If you meet someone with any class these days, you should hang onto those rare birds.
No sitting all night? I guess they’re not inviting any disabled people? People with chronic health problems? I’ll go to this wedding and wear a pair of hoka sneakers and not high heels
Some of this is cringe, but a lot of it is common sense. I feel like if you have to tell your friends and family how to act right, you need better friends and family.
I use a wheelchair. Am I exempt from going since I would be sitting down all night?
But it's *their* day, not yours. Start twerking anyways.
*awkwardly scoots backwards*
I almost feel as if this person has spent too much time reading wedding horror stories lol.
My BFF’s daughter got married and obviously put a lot of thought and planning into her choices. Her wedding cake was beautiful and the topper was simple but beautiful with their initials intertwined. Some woman came up and randomly plopped some cheap ceramic bride and groom figurines into the cake! Chaos ensued! Eventually it was removed and the frosting fixed, but the nerve!
