The thing about wedding etiquette (and I suppose, any etiquette), is that there are exceptions to every rule! Some situations we find ourselves in are not always so black and white that we can refer to our manners 101 author/website of choice. This “Ask Carly” question from theknot.com is one of those very tricky situations. Read and let me know what YOU think.
A. First of all, it is definitely impressive that you agreed to invite your fiance’s ex to the wedding. Many couples who are on good terms with exes — where there is no remaining relationship “tension” — decide against inviting them because it might be too weird for everyone involved. Nevertheless, inviting this woman to your shower might have been a bad idea — you certainly weren’t meaning to mock her, but since bridal-shower guests are generally your closest female friends and relatives, it’s easy to see how she felt she’d be very uncomfortable at such a gathering. However, the fact that she called your fiance to complain calls into question what her feelings really are for him — if she felt “mocked,” does that mean she feels animosity toward you because you got the guy? Her response may imply that she’s not really over her relationship with him, which brings up the issue of whether it’s a good idea to invite her to the wedding.
You and your fiance should sit down and discuss this. Why was it so important to him to invite this woman in the first place? Is she important to him (which isn’t categorically bad as long as they’re both okay with their relationship being over), did he think she’d get angry if she wasn’t invited, or what? Technically, shower guests are invited to the wedding (and no one invited to the shower should be left off the wedding guest list), but this is a unique case, and if it’s going to upset everyone (including her) further to invite her, it might be best not to go there. Think about it: Is this situation giving you unnecessary stress? It really shouldn’t be — this ex is no longer a part of your fiance’s life, at least not in the way you are. You’re marrying him. Keep that in mind when you decide.
*******************
So, my question as I read this was this: why, in heaven’s name, did she invite the ex to the BRIDAL SHOWER? From the ex-girlfriend’s perspective, if I didn’t know the bride, I might not think they were necessarily mocking me, but I would find that invitation quite strange. What do you think?

Having succulents incorporated into a wedding has become insanely popular! As an altogether alternative to flowers, or even as a supporting player in floral arrangements, it brings an earthy and borderline rustic feeling. They’ve been sprouting in bouquets, cakes, favors, centerpieces, and even as hair pieces.
Do you like the trend?

Remember when Kate Middleton wore this little gem on the evening of her wedding day?
That gorgeous angora bolero by Alexander McQueen has caused a frenzy in the bridal attire market! How will YOU stay cozy during your fall/winter wedding? If you’re on the hunt for a lovely replica but somehow lost Mr. McQueen’s phone number, here’s a fantastic option. Affordable, too!

Are you a child of the 80′s? Me too. I LOVE this groom’s cake from a wedding at Heather’s Glen last year:
Any childhood toys in your wedding? I was reading about a couple who did customized rubik’s cube for their wedding favors. Cute! Another fun idea would be mini etch-a-sketches, rubik’s cubes, and slinkys for favors. What do you think?
How do your wedding favors thank your guests and reflect you as a couple?

In fashion and interior design, gray is hot hot hot right now. Grays represent anything but dull and boring, but rather cool, understated, and promises of rain during these dry times! Inevitably, those trends translate right into weddings. I did a little research to see what gray is being paired with this fall, and red, yellow, and orange are leading contenders this season! I love the look- gray is less stark than black, so it softens the palette without being overwhelmed.
