"Summer is the worst season to attend a wedding."

—[u/LittleOrangeCat](https://www.reddit.com/user/LittleOrangeCat/)

"You should not have a wedding on a weeknight or in a remote (but cheaper to you) location."

—[u/redredredwild](https://www.reddit.com/user/redredredwild/)

"Speeches should be more like toasts — 60 seconds or less, done by three people or less. I can’t handle the cringe of speeches longer than that."

—[u/ThatNovelist](https://www.reddit.com/user/ThatNovelist/)

"It's absolutely mind-blowingly ridiculous to spend so much money on pre-wedding activities (engagement parties, bachelorettes, showers, etc.)."

—[u/KSwe117](https://www.reddit.com/user/KSwe117/)

"Having a bridal party isn't worth it. I'm going to have my best friends there on that day, but I don't need to put them through the headache of spending a lot on a dress, walking down the aisle alone, and throwing me parties. I just want them to show up, chill, laugh, drink, eat, dance, and have a good time."

—[u/BrooklynBride27](https://www.reddit.com/user/BrooklynBride27/)

"I don’t really care about pics! I want some, of course. But I don’t need eight hours of someone following me around, taking pics of everything. I'd rather spend time with guests and have candids than spend tons of time taking pics."

"If a family member doesn't reach out to the couple (or at least their related half) at least once a year, they don't get an invitation. You aren't entitled to an invite just because you're the aunt or the grandpa. Act like you care."

—[u/autumnflowers13](https://www.reddit.com/user/autumnflowers13/)

"I don’t care if my wedding guests wear outfits that have white in them. Unless you are showing up in a 100% white ball gown, it's fine."

—[u/TigerzEyez85](https://www.reddit.com/user/TigerzEyez85/)

"'Getting ready' pictures are stupid, and I don't know why they became a thing. Why would I want pictures of me and my bridesmaids in bathrobes? Why would I want pictures of the groom tying his shoes?"

—[u/dtshockney](https://www.reddit.com/user/dtshockney/)

"\[I don't like\] wild amounts of decorating. We didn't do it. Had the venue give some ideas of centerpieces we could rent. That was it. No flowers, no elaborate centerpieces, none of it. I also didn't have to store and sell them all after."

—[u/all-you-need-is-love](https://www.reddit.com/user/all-you-need-is-love/)

"If you want your bridesmaids to wear a particular outfit, you should buy it for them. The idea of making someone spend money to be in your wedding is silly as hell to me."

—[u/Sea-Professional-594](https://www.reddit.com/user/Sea-Professional-594/)

"I don't like veils. It feels antiquated."

—[u/mother\_of\_doggos35](https://www.reddit.com/user/mother_of_doggos35/)

"Kids should not be ring bearers/flower girls, especially when they're way too young. If they can’t make it down the aisle to do it on their own, what’s the point?"

—[u/MysteriousDirt2](https://www.reddit.com/user/MysteriousDirt2/)

"\[There should be no kids at weddings.\] I love kids, but from my experience, they will ruin your wedding ceremony and steal the show."

—[u/United\_Paramedic\_394](https://www.reddit.com/user/United_Paramedic_394/)

And finally: "Cocktail hour should come before the ceremony. Why are you going to eat and then have dinner right after? 😂 don’t want to be too full to dance!"
