“Spoiled” bride-to-be raises eyebrows over “horrible” detail in wedding invitation: “Unscrupulous”

A bride-to-be has been branded “cheeky” and “tasteless” because of the “horrific” rules in her wedding invitation, including a strict all-black dress code.

The woman shared a strictly worded list of rules that her friends and family had to follow because she wanted her wedding day to be “perfect.”

She said guests were only allowed to wear black clothing and no companions were allowed, and that children under the age of 10 were not allowed to attend the “technology-free” wedding.

The bride warned that rule breakers would be asked to leave.

“Please remember that a wedding is meant to be perfect for the bride and groom and these details make that come true for us,” said the bride.

“Please wear only plain black. No black and white or other colors – also no belts and ties. No small children under 10 years old.”

“Anyone who doesn’t comply will be asked to leave by my coordinator without my knowledge. This can have a decisive influence on the evening and the photos and videos we have in mind.”

The bride explained that a companion “does not automatically come with every invitation.”

“We are first reserving space for the people closest to us,” she said.

“If you would like to bring someone we know, please ask so we can be sure they are provided with food, alcohol and snacks.”

“Every person invited has been paid and we don’t want to be short of money.”

The woman explained that she needed to have clarity about non-survivors after her family decided to invite more people to her wedding without her knowledge.

“My brother already assumed that everyone he knew would come to my wedding, (including) people I hadn’t spoken to in 10 years and who had never met my fiancé,” she said.

“One guest wanted to bring his four young children, even though I had asked not to bring young children because ‘they are family and don’t count’ – they are literally the reason I ask not to invite young children because they are inconsiderate.”

“A random person we see sometimes and barely know said something like, ‘Apparently I’m invited to your little party as a chaperone.’ So that’s the reason for the strong wording.”

The bride said she asked guests to arrive at 3:30 p.m. for the 4 p.m. ceremony because she was worried her family might be late.

“My family is all rural and the society is not formal – no one knows how to dress up and everyone thinks I’m stuffy, but we are planning a very formal and expensive wedding and have been planning it for two years,” she explained.

“I know that my family will be the ones who show up 30 minutes late in the middle of the ceremony, dressed differently, with their two-year-old children and five friends I don’t know – unless I specifically tell them not to do that.”

The bride said she felt “stressed” but hoped her family would follow their rules so she could have her dream wedding.

Her dilemma was re-shared in the Facebook group “This is it, I make weddings ridiculous” – with many pointing out that the bride is not the problem.

“To be honest, her family sounds like a nightmare,” one said.

“Her reasoning is fair, the invitation is just not worded correctly. If she has a family like that, it would be better to just run away,” suggested another.

“I… have to agree with her. If her family is as bad as she says then maybe she has to be a real bitch to make that clear,” one added.

Others suggested that the bride should soften the instructions a little, while others criticized her for the “tasteless” and “horrific” rules.

“Their demands are not outrageous, but they need to be edited so that they do not sound like those of a madwoman,” said one.

“This is extremely poorly worded and comes across as a cheeky bridezilla,” added another.

Meanwhile, many were particularly bothered by the bride’s choice of font – one joked: “That’s it, I’m making fun of the font.”

“The font! Horrible. The words! Horrible,” said one.

“I can barely read this writing. I’m pretty sure Uncle Cletus won’t care,” another shared.

“If you tell me in all caps what to do, I WILL NOT DO IT,” wrote one.

“I get a migraine just reading it. The font, the squashed words and everything in capital letters – most people say they can’t even read it. I’d gladly skip this wedding.”
