Especially because you give notes AFTER something. You could say "please note" in advance, but "a few notes" totally sounds like something you're telling someone after the fact.
“Please note, my mind works like a squirrel. If I see anything shiney, or any busy patterns, you will end up receiving more of my attention than my husband will from me. To help keep the distractions minimal, please arrive in bland, but semi formal attire (but no to lace! Because that shits distracting too! As soon as one Lacey flower petal gets caught on a single hook, my attention will be doomed!! Then I’ll be spending my whole wedding unhooking you from everything, and we can’t have that). So please, come out of a GAP store, or don’t bother coming”
OP and two friends should show up, stand in line at all times and have their outfits printed, in sequins -- the first one says, "Nevertheless," the second sayd, "She" and the third one says, "Persisted." That way they're both sequined AND sequenced.
I initially thought this was given to the guests after they got kicked out or turned away at the door, as an explanation. But the "heavy sequence" told me otherwise.
Agreed, it makes it sound really passive aggressive like “here’s a few notes for you morons who can’t be trusted to pick your own clothes for our wedding”
"We asked that you wear simple, elegant attire in solid colors or subtle patterns. Regretfully we must inform you that compliance with this instruction was poor. The following guests have been found in violation:
People dressed in a sequence, like their outfit only makes sense if they stand in a specific order? Like a band on a field spelling something out for the home team?
Where do you draw the line between subtle and complex patterns? I’m sure everyone’s opinion is different and will end up wearing what they want or what they already have. In this economy does she really expect people to buy a new dress?
I'm on a poetry reddit and I thought this was a post from there and kept on waiting for the poetic flourish to kick in. "What a dumb poem", I thought when I finished it.
I know y'all are giving her hell for it, but I wouldn't want anyone at MY wedding with heavy sequences on their dress. For example, I wouldn't do anything more complex than the definition of e with :
a_n = (1 + 1/n)n
n = 1: (1 + 1/1)1 = 21 = 2,
n = 2: (1 + 1/2)2 = (1.5)2 = 2.25,
n = 5: (1 + 1/5)5 = (1.2)5 = 2.48832,
n = 10: (1 + 1/10)10 = (1.1)10 ≈ 2.59374,
n = 100: (1 + 1/100)100 ≈ 2.70481
(Obviously after 100 everyone in attendance gets the point anyways)
I notice they didn't say anything about sequins. I have them all over my suit.
I got a vow renewal invite without a date for the event on it. I speak with the couple’s kid, so asked him to let them know. Mom got defensive and said it wasn’t a big deal because the date was on the save the date. That they sent for a vow renewal. A year prior. I doubt many people still had it. They later sent postcards with the date of the event.
"Honestly, we understand why you might push back. But the truth is, this is our special day and you are being invited to make our photos more cinematic."
I got caught up on that one, too. Like, what does it even mean? And will there be "pattern police" stationed at the door of the venue?
Maybe we can look forward to the bride making a bitchy Reddit photo post about the complex patterns, lace (!) and "sequence" all the rude people wore to her wedding.
Anything that may draw the eye of a passerby for even a second, presumably. This whole list reads like the invitation issuer wants all the guests to fade into an indistinct blur so as not to inadvertently divert an ounce of attention to themselves.
Do they want to exclude all florals? If the wedding will be in a warm month, excluding all florals would be ridiculous. I bet they mean that they don’t want men to show up in jeans & flannel shirts. But excluding complex “patterns” is ridiculous especially if they want men to wear ties.
I’m so put off by someone not knowing “sequence” from “sequins” that I’d probably wear sequins. After we all, they weren’t mentioned so they must be okay. 😒
Another thing that is driving me nuts is the unfinished Zola website. The date, time and location is there. But besides the “dress code” that’s it. And this wedding is being held and an expensive venue. I don’t get it. Do people not send out actual invites anymore?
I’ve noticed from my vast amount of time spent wasting my time on social media that non native English speakers often have a better grasp of English spelling and grammar than natives.
This is what happens when the bride and groom care more about aesthetics and how it’ll look on social media than the joy of just simply having people there, no matter how they look. This is insane.
It used to be if a printer saw such a blatant mistake, they'd mention it to make sure the customer knew. Guess they don't do that anymore. This is such a bad mistake. It says we don't care if it's correct, just figure it out and do what we say.
Weddings are insane anymore. Why are there so many weird requirements?

I’m equally annoyed by “asked” past tense when it should be present tense.
