I definitely agree, but you may want to buy a card and put this note in there; otherwise how will they know you’re not just being cheap/rude

I think it's obnoxious. Weddings are already expensive for guests and now our clothing options are limited? No thanks.

It's nuts. I'll encourage my kids to go to the courthouse during their lunch break.

What are the stats on how long these Instagram marriages last?

Can't they let guests wear whatever color they want and then Photoshop whatever's unacceptable? Or just have black and white photos?

If it’s easy enough and I really like the couple, I might do it. But I would probably just send a gift and RSVP regrets.

Even “don’t wear white” is too much. if I have a go to off-white sheath dress that I wear to most summer occasions, let me. If other guests think I’m trying to to upstage the bride, let them judge me. You just be happy I came.

Or just not focus on this very small part of this very big occasion!?

It seems these brides think they deserve a royal wedding. However, even the royals don't have a color palette. No wonder weddings cost a fortune.

This just seems silly because that isn't remotely the point of wedding photos and who cares what guests are wearing in photos anyway?

They seem to care more about photos than about the concept of marriage.

It is absolutely a thing now even if the olds don't like it. (I am an old.)

But I mean how often do you look at your wedding photos and, when you do, what is the thing you focus on.

Like, sure we have this one nice photo from my wedding that's framed and referenced often but specifically because my FIL died unexpectedly the next year and it's one of the last really nice photos of him dancing with his kids.

I haven't finished the album 30 years on. We have one wedding photo hanging on the wall.

I thought I was the only one! (Except I don't even have a photo on the wall)
