Should the party favors say "Nights"?


Tip of the day for you brides- and grooms-to-be out there: Remember that not all of your guests and/or friends aren't made of money. Don't expect them to pay for everything.

Just because one day is all about you, doesn't mean all the days are all about you.

Expecting 3-day bachelor and bachelorette parties is a bit excessive. (And I'm saying that as a sarcastic understatement). Oh, yeah, it's also incredibly self-centered. And expecting your guests to pay your way? Um, you're just being an asshole at that point.

I get the whole "one last hurrah" aspect. But consider this: You're getting married; you're not dying. You can take trips/have boys/girls nights out after the Big Day. Yes, you can, trust me. Just because your cousin Mildred got fat and stays home with American Idol and the kids every night, doesn't mean you will.

And oh-so-wonderful friends of the bride and groom? Even if you are okay with paying for Princess' Fifth Bachelorette Hoo-Hah, don't make others feel bad if they can't (or won't) pay extra. We're in a recession. People are losing (or barely hanging onto) their jobs.

And if you are a friend/guest/patsy who can't pay for all the extra festivities (even if it's wrong for others to expect such)? Don't go.
