Renting Centerpieces: Rude or not?

Clay Lipira: How can it be rude not to allow ppl to take the centerpieces? I know alot of ppl like to take them home b/c they are pretty but, it's not like you are required to give them away. Personally, Ihave always though that if the couple doesnt have a centerpiece give away ppl cant have them.

Cody Shimko: You'll be too hot in pantyhose! My wedding is at the end of June (in '08) and I have no intention of wearing pantyhose.It's a personal preference thing--will you be more comfortable with or without it?Plus, are you wearing open or closed toe shoes? If you're wearing closed toe, you may be more comfortable with pantyhose, but it's definitely not necessary. But, you definitely shouldn't wear pantyhose if you're wearing open toed shoes!

Coleman Senn: Have your d.j. announce it during the reception, several times. And have someone make sure no one walks out with them. You can also tell family members to spread the word, but definitely tell your d.j to anno! unce it.

Ignacio Imbier: for my wedding i wanted to have a different kind of centerpiece instead of the usual (expensive) flowers. So I searched and searched and found 2 1/2 feet high candelabras with glass votive holders. First I priced the flowers for 25 tables and whoa....blew me away...each table would run $250. Then I priced the candelabras...I believe with the votive holders it came out to be approx $60 a table then I added additional votives in holders at the base of the candelabra to make it more romantic ( all the candles- a total of 9 candles) on each table. Then for the finishing touch I threw colored gems across the table. (Color matched my bridesmaid dresses- glass green). Toward the end of the reception, the DJ announced that one person may take the centerpiece home (played some cute short game- pass the napkin) and the winner got it. One guest used hers for her special affair- her 25th wedding anniversary. And others have theirs on the dining room tabl! e. E-mail me and I will send you the name of the company...The! y are based in Canada....Show more

Raymon Fiene: You won't like this answer, but guess what? It's not about you anymore. You got pregnant with a total stranger, and now you're getting to truly know him and you don't like what you see. This is common when you move at warp speed.But what you barely mentioned is your child. He is the innocent victim in all this, and it's time to start thinking like a mom, not a horny teenager. So you need to figure out if you want this man in your home as the father of your child. It sounds to me like you need couples counseling to even make a stab at figuring out if this will work. How can you be "engaged" to someone you can't even talk to? If he won't go to counseling, then there's nothing more to say. Stop chasing a non-existent relationship and make better choices for your child. And I also suggest reliable birth control.

Bethany Blocker: Give your guests something else that they can keep forever to remember your spec! ial day. It doesn't need to be expensive or anything, but don't make it so cheap that people start to role their eyes. Just make sure that you tell everyone that they can't take the candelabra's home.

Bryan Avinger: Also, dont be telling people to get reliable birth control when you dont even know me. I love my son William...I am a wonderful mother who will do anything for my little guy

Idell Mulliniks: Sorry sweetie, but this is what happens when you put the cart before the horse.Having a baby has changed EVERYTHING. Getting married strictly because you had a baby with him is not the reason to get married. Just because you two had a baby, a family you do not make.You have two choices here: go see a couple's counselor or break up. The only obligation he has to you is your child, and that's it.

Virgil Menefee: At one time a woman wouldn't have thought of getting dressed without stockings let alone on her wedding day. But my son & DiL was married in June &! she didn't wear stockings. She wore strappy shoes, was pedicured to p! erfection and COMFORTABLE. If you are in an area, like Ohio, it's scorching in July. Unless you plan on being in air-conditioning the whole time, I'd give panyhose some serious thought. You sure don't want to get overheated or be uncomfortable. Besides, how many people are going to pick up your dress to see?

Mildred Pombo: Does your hall allow open flames? Probably not.Secondly, if its customary, you could end up with more money in replacing them (accidentally taking them) then buying them yourself.

Julienne Poplawski: To the commenting about me not saying I am talking about my baby as much and just me and my issues. I am sorry but to have a family everyone has to be able to work with everyone and all I am doing is trying to find some answers of why one person in this family is doing all this. I am a wonderful mother and wants the best for my child that is why I am making sure getting married the baby daddy with all this going on is the right thing to do o! r what I can do to help. I am not some horny teenager infact...I am not even a teen so excuse you for judging me so quick. The only thing that matters is my sons happiness I want the problems that mommy and daddy have fixed so he can live a happy life. And if that doesn't work then I will look for someone who will treat my son and me right.but thank you all those who have commented back giving me wonderful ideas of what I can do and an outside perspective on this whole thing. I will be looking into counseling and also some small groups from my

Willis Liburd: You better buy. Don't rent something that you know people normally take as souveniers.

Kimberlee Bowdish: SKIP THE PANTYHOSE-they must have been invented by men!Best wishes on your wedding, and God's blessing on your marriage.

Freddy Shutler: Hi. First of all...check with your venue if you can have open flames. Many are not allowing this now. If you can, I agree with the other poster....spread the ! word to the family that these belong to the reception site!! That way ! you don't have to say they are rented. Otherwise, go with a "plan B" centerpiece!

Nia Monopoli: Dont wear them, nylons are the most uncomfortable thing to wear and especially when its hot. I would suggest that you go to the lingere dept to where they have the slips and get a slip that looks like a pair of biker shorts. They are fantastic for preventing chaffing between your legs, which you will get from moving around so much and sweating. I highly recommend these.Good luck!

Rheba Cockman: Honestly, it sounds like he doesn't have any real interest in being married to you. The circumstances surrounding the "proposal" don't really point to a guy who wants to spend the rest of his life with you, but more to a guy who got a girl pregnant and is now trying to "do the right thing." Sometimes, the right thing isn't to get married, but to be happily apart. If BOTH of you want things to get better, I'd suggest counseling. But communication, as I'm sure you know, is a! two-way street, and if he's not interested in doing what's necessary for things to get better, I wouldn't go ahead with a wedding.

Rayford Latz: So I originally wanted to cap my wedding at 100 people. Even though that sounded like a lot to me at first, my fiancé and I are from fairly large families. So after we invite both sets of: parents, siblings, grandparents, first aunts, first uncles, and first cousins that only leaves about 20 other people, including the wedding party! So we decided to go up to 130. So with 50 spaces left we invited other close family members and close friends. Got the number we wanted and were happy. Haven’t even sent out save the dates yet and we are already hearing about other people that should be added. I think it’s too much. The numbers are getting out of hand. 1. I don’t want a huge wedding. 2. I feel like my budget is getting out of hand. I did not plan on doubling my guest list. That’s doubling the catering price and linen pr! ice! So my question isShould the wedding party’s siblings and parents! be invited?Should people that live in the same house be invited? (ex, if I invite someone that still lives with their parents, do the parents have to be invited too?)Should everyone that isn’t married be allowed to bring a guest?

Jonathan Schlussel: I'd buy a centerpiece, otherwise someone is going to end up taking one home without knowing they are rented and you are going to have to pay for a replacement fee.

Sibyl Siwik: So i have known this guy for about 3 months before we started dating and then about 7 months after we got together I got pregnant. I had our son and then we decided we should get married on our 2 year anniversary. But the thing is that our communication now is terrible, constantly getting into fights, he is lieing to me over the smallest stuff, he doesnt really comfort me when I need him to. The list goes on really. But I still love him but I just dont know what to do anymore. I try to talk to him and tell him how unhappy I am getting and t! hen see if he is unhappy about something but still he doesnt communicate it to me but to someone else. Then also, before I meet him he used to smoke weed and he quit for me but now I am noticing him constantly looking up anything that has to do with weed or if someone mentions it he talks about how much he used to grow and smoke. What the heck is going on??? i need help on what to do!

Julee Lanham: ahead and just skip pantyhose, or do most women wear pantyhose on their wedding day? I know it is a weird question but I am not a girly girl so I dont know these things!

Stephnie Patout: I skipped the panyhose (I got married in July-in Texas). It is way to hot. Even if you get married in January in Alaska- you still are burning up on your wedding day. I wore my shoes just until the garter came off - then I slipped into my big fluffy slippers!

Ninfa Aronica: My niece got married in April and just wore the thigh hose and a garter belt, that way you don't get a! ll sweaty in the crotch area but the shoes are more comfy.

Tana D! umoulin: classic wedding ceremony ettiquette strongly discourages donning the two all-black or all-white clothing, as all-black is a demonstration of death and mourning, mutually as all-white is the colour the bride would be donning (significant no-no to out-shine the bride!). Of the clothing you discribed, i think the only with white floral print may be the main perfect on the "classic" wedding ceremony, because of the fact it rather is maximum in all hazard a good stability of the two colorings. even nevertheless, you probably did no longer say no remember if the marriage replaced right into a extensive formal wedding ceremony or a small casual wedding ceremony. At small weddings, maximum traditions like that are thrown out the window because of the fact the couple is greater worried approximately your presence quite than your dresser. or perhaps at great formal weddings, a tasteful dress that's all black or frequently black with white is seen suitable. as long as you do ! no longer placed on all-white, you may desire to be fantastic. have relaxing, and good success with the bouquet toss! :-D

Shon Almquist: if something is large and dramatic it should be obvious that they are rented. plus, where would that go in a casual home???ask the florist to design something small and simple so that each table has some real flowers to take home to remember the day.. the last wedding I went to most of the centerpieces were left behind.....Show more

Brian Freedland: Wear whatever you will be most comfortable in. It does make for a long day and you will be on your feet most of the time. So comfort is a key factor. Also, how comfortable are you with your leg appearance, since one leg will partially be showing when your new husband takes off your garter.

Tyrone Disanti: Don't forget the whole leg baring for the garter toss thing! It does seem rather silly to be wearing panty hose and then also a garter. I'd sure wouldn't wear them, bu! t then I'd be getting married barefoot on a beach, or maybe in an organ! ic vegetable patch so the whole wedding party would be shoes optional.

Peter Lapoint: Well, heres an idea i used , I went to walmart and bought these big glass candle holders thats made like bowls and i put sand inside them with a big white candle and put fake leaves and whatever you want around them. they was so beautiful and the cost wasn't very much at all either. but if u want candelabras for ya wedding reception just tell that they can't be giving away cause they aren't paid for which is true

Kellie Waycott: First, don't say they are rented. Just say, they belong the reception site and came along with the tables. It's the same thing, but it just is an easier explanation. It's in no way rude not to offer the centerpieces. I would recruit a few close family members to spread the world around the table. The centerpieces are not to be brought home. Bringing home the centerpieces is not a traditional wedding practice, so you aren't break any rules. It's ! just a nice gesture some couples do....Show more

Nikita Schroepfer: the place I stay that's hardship-unfastened for individuals to do what you're doing. supply the centerpieces to close pals and relatives who went out of their thank you to make your wedding ceremony run easily. Judging by making use of another solutions i assume it relatively isn't the way it relatively is someplace else. i've got under no circumstances been to a marriage the place people play video games for midsection products. the way it is going is the two the staff sparkling the tables after the food and the midsection products are positioned aside. If the midsection products are left on the table for the duration of the dance people think of they are truthful game. different circumstances the midsection products are left on yet an announcement is made soliciting for that individuals no longer do away with them. in spite of everything lots of people on tight budgets lease midsection products fair! ly then purchase. comparable is going with decorations each and every f! rom time to time people take decorations that have been rented which will reason issues. Your visitors are already getting favours do don't experience badly approximately freely giving the midsection products to those that helped. the place i'm it relatively is often the mum of the bride and groom get one. Then grand mothers in the event that they are alive. Then any man or woman who went out of their thank you to assist or advise alot to the bride or groom....Show more

Marquetta Gimm: It sounds like he is getting cold feet. Head to counseling, it may be your only shot in this relationship.

Arlen Decorte: "Should the wedding party’s siblings and parents be invited?"Only if you are CLOSE with them. You are not obligated at all, in any way. No one really invites their wedding party's family JUST because of the relation, I have NEVER heard of anyone doing this. I know my best friend's parents pretty well, and he knows mine. We both go to each-other's family outi! ngs and such. Neither of us invited the other's parents to our weddings, and we were both in each-other's wedding parties."Should people that live in the same house be invited? (ex, if I invite someone that still lives with their parents, do the parents have to be invited too?)"No! Once again, only if you are close and want the person there. If you don't know them very well, don't bother. They won't be expecting it."Should everyone that isn’t married be allowed to bring a guest?"No. My rule of thumb was that I gave a guest to anyone unmarried who was older than me, but it's totally up to you. Typically if you know someone is unmarried but in a serious relationship, you should let them bring their significant other, but you don't HAVE to. Single people can come single, and hopefully meet someone at the wedding!!This is YOUR wedding. Don't let people convince you that you need to invite all these extra people, you don't want to spend your day surrounded by people you barely! know. Invite people you are close to, and your own family. You are not! obligated to include anyone else.

Maynard Phoubandith: I got married in August and NO, I did not wear hose. My dress was full length, so I think I would have worn them if my legs showed.FYI - my shoes were off and under the table after the first dance. I suggest getting a pair of really comfy flats or ballet slippers to wear after the ceremony. Heck, a pair of white leather Keds would work too. It's your day, go with what makes you feel comfortable!And congratulations!

Jammie Taddei: He's not ready to commit to you. Marrying someone who is into growing and distribution of weed does not bode well for you, to be planning a lifetime with him. Lay it out on the table the way you think it needs to be for you and your son to have a good life. If he doesn't jump at the chance to do what works for all concerned then I think your relationship is doomed. Drugs will always come first with a druggie, not their wife and family Its part of the sickness that goes wit! h the territory. I wish you the best of life.
