See that is the hard part. You say “I had an engagement party, a shower and a wedding” and people are all “OMG SO MANY EVENTS! SO GIFT GRABBY!” but the engagement party was to actually announce an engagement to people not within the immediate family (siblings and parents) and to have a fun easy party. If you dont…

Honestly she sounds like a shitty friend. The few people that afforded to fly from my grand school to my hometown had their hotel paid bc it was very nice of them to be able to come. I expected absolutely nothing more. Most people who arent self-absorbed realize weddings cost money not just for the couple but for…
I was taught it was super rude not to invite someone to the shower if they were invited to the wedding. At least that was what my mom said when we were invited to some distant 5th cousin’s shower.
Maybe we are lucky. Who knows. I had friends come from out of town we a gift and I didn’t even realize it until we were writing thank you notes. I was just super excited to have them at the wedding.
Nice try. But next time some context no? When someone is saying “I don’t wanna spend money” and you say “these are your friends. You should be happy to give them a gift” that isn’t the same as requiring a gift. And when you say “going to a wedding will put me in debt” it isn’t gift grubby to say “if that is the case…
Ok so why aren’t you just saying “sorry I can’t come” like several people from my grad school did be my grad school (and they) was in a different state? I understood they might not be able to come but I wanted them to know I still cared and would have loved their company. I wasn’t offended they said no. I assumed they…
Who is talking about week long parties? And seriously is 20 bucks for a shower and 50 bucks for a wedding going to get you in debt? I mean if that is the case perhaps you shouldnt go to the event. If you are going into debt for a wedding you really shouldnt attend. Check the “Regretfully cannot attend” box and move on.
Yeah you are right. It was totally wrong of me to have an engagement party where we literally announced our engagement to very surprised friends and family. It was pretty awful that we did that when my grandmother from Greece was able to attend. And that shower for me and my now husband? The man that I never lived…
I do not know if this is the best fucking around with everyone ever or serious . . .
The bride at the last bachelorette party I went to REQUIRED all attendees to wear fuchsia shirts. When my sister and I went shopping for the right TONE of fuchsia (not shade! It had to be a blue based fuchsia. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!) we both said fuck this shit bought pink shirts. The bride-to-be pulled us aside…
That is a dick move.
I dont understand. Why do you feel obligated to go to everything? It seems like you want the best of both worlds. “Please feed me and give me drinks but please dont make a registry!”
These people are supposed to be your friends! Are we, as a society, forgetting this? Like the people that invite me to a shower or wedding are my friends. Am I really gonna be like “Sorry I cant drop 20 bucks at bed bath and beyond to get you a gift card” or “Sorry I know you are buying me dinner and drinks but I cant…
I must have friends who are totally way off and different with weddings. Even mine was an engagement party (no registry or gifts, of course some people brought things anyway, but I bring things to people’s houses when I go to them too), the shower (yes there as a registry) and the wedding (most people gave cash or…
I use Klorane’s non-aerosol dry shampoo. I shake the bottle, hold it about 8 inches away (so my elbow is a tad more than 90* and spray along my part, along the front of my hair (where it hits the forehead) and by the ears. I then brush my teeth and let it soak stuff up for a few minutes and then i run my hands through…

I am in LOVE with Klorane. When the Ulta by my house stopped selling it I was devastated. Most of the dry shampoos make my head itchy. Klorane was a godsend and so fantastic.

I totally feel bad for the cops too. I heard they were threatened with the mortal pain of a towel snap.
Didnt you know? Those “child thugs” had weapons! Did you nothing of towel snaps?!?! And if they had goggles! OH MY GOD THE DESTRUCTION THEY COULD CREATE WITH GOGGLES!
Those teenagers were super dangerous. They obviously had weapons that can inflict pain (towels) and they might have even had goggles which CLEARLY could have been used as projectiles.
