Is it 4:30 yet?

I'm so bored I may develop trychitillimania just to have something to do (including learning how to spell that properly, anyone?)

BFF is getting married and when she asked me to do her escort cards, I volunteered to address her invitations, too.  She really likes the calligraphy I do and she hasn't needed much help since she started planning her wedding so I'm happy to help her out.

I HATE her invitations.  Petty? Yes.  Stupid thing to annoy me?  You bet.  That doesn't mean I don't think they're ugly.  I pretended to sneeze when she showed them to me so I could change the expression on my face from "WTF? Holy ugly!" to "Oh, those look nice!" 

PinkLillyLover

Your post made me laugh.  I can totally see myself doing that (I am not ashamed to admit that I have high standards; paper products included, ha)!  

What exactly don't you like about the invites?  How are they ugly?

This is brilliant.  I have made a mental note to do this when I see ugly babies.

Hahaha...I had the exact reaction when I saw my BFF's wedding invitation. I think I replied with wow those must have took you some time. They were hideous.

I feel awful saying this but the more I hear about this wedding, the more I'm like

$70 waterford crystal wine glasses on the registry - 20 of them.  $70 EACH. 

It's a second wedding for both of them. 

I know, it's none of my business - but I judge.  I love her to death, but I judge.

The background is an ocean meeting the sand in pretty vivid colors and the text is all dark and kinda hard to read.  It reads more like a wedding announcement than an invitation to a wedding, it never says anything that suggests attending.  It just kind of says "we're in love, we're getting married" and then the address.  No "Join us" "Honor us with your presence" "witness our marriage" Nothing like that at all.  It's whatever they wanted but it's NMSAA.

And she bitches all the time about how much it's costing them and no one is helping them, DH and I paid for pretty much everything but the venue/food (package deal) but I'm an only child and my parents wanted to pay for that. 

Again, none of my business but I judge.

Say what?? Registries for second marriages make me roll my eyes more than registries for second babies. When I get married again, (to Andy Samberg, don't judge me) I think I will avoid gifts at all costs. What do people do to with the stuff from their first marriage? Burn it?

Oh dear.

My co-worker is like this, it's her first wedding, but still.

Today, she was on the phone w/ her mom for about 45 minutes discussing her shower registry.  They were going line by line and discussing who they thought was going to buy her what.

She's taking the day off tomorrow to buy a replica of a Faberge egg.  She's having her ring bearer (he's 11 BTW) carry that with the rings inside instead of a pillow.

I know.  In this instance, neither of them really have anything from marriage #1 besides their kids.

Her first wedding, we were 18, she was KU and they eloped (didn't even tell me because she knew I'd try to talk her out of it- her first husband was an abusive pig)  They never really had a pot to piss in and when she left him, she was lucky he let her take her clothes.  He still won't let her have copies of their son's baby pictures 10 years later.

His ex wife took him to the cleaners in the divorce.

But still - they don't freaking drink wine.

I know every situation is different. I just see a lot of people who get married then divorced in less than a year, just to turn around and get married just as quickly. I have a "friend" that did that. Three marriages in 6 years, complete with registries for all of them. She has a very decked out house lol.

Oh, FFS!!!  That's nuts. How do you date, fall in love and get married 3 times in 6 years?  How do you even do that?

 I know!! I didn't pay much attention to her dating life but I think there was only one maybe two guys she dated and didn't marry between her second and third divorces. Her track record is dating them about 5-6 months then a big elaborate wedding because its her "real" marriage, then maybe 4-8 months marriage. Her first marriage lasted 4 months. She left her first husband for her second.

It makes my head want to explode.

 I literally just choked on water because I was uncontrollably laughing!  Said party would almost be like an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party but for weddings/babies!  I'm hoping that said party could also involve making airbrushed onesie's for babies.

Dude, I have no idea.

I am also going to add that she is 34.  Obviously that is not old (I am right behind her) but IMO it's too damn old to be concerned about such insignificant nonsense.
