''Oh no you're not!'' Things You've Banned Guests From Doing...

We've only got two requests which we believe are very reasonable.

1) Please don't smoke in the garden near the doors into our room, for the comfort of everyone else. We don't want the smoke smell coming inside. There are plenty of other places in the garden with smoking boxes for your waste.

2) Please ensure your mobile phones and children are set to silent during the ceremony and speeches in the evening.

Fairly straightforward really, thankfully we don't know (or haven't invited) many people that are the sort of person likely to get completely trolleyed and do something unpleasant or embarrassing.

**CONTORVERSIAL POST**

dont come in gypsy wedding 'get up' and grind against each other provocativly

Nuff Said

We did try and ban Hubby's grandad from playing the spoons,his grandma even tried to hide all the ones off the table from him but he still managed to produce some halfway through the night to accompany the Foos on the ipod, this was shortly before he started waltzing to prodigy! lol!!

Awesome!!

We didn't have any "banned" things... we led the stupid dancing ourselves!

Our only request was to enjoy themselves, and that they did!!

No ridiculous hats like the one Beatrice and Tara pamer tomkinson where seen sporting at the Royal wedding!! lol All other hats will accepted!!! LOL @ Flow's post

LOL!

On a serious note:

do not throw confetti at me - I WILL bite you

do not act like im the best thing since sliced bread when you know the only reason you are here is because u go with OH friend - u never usually look my road!

do not complain about what table you are at / who you are beside - be grateful to be here

do not complain about the meal - be grateful you've a nite off dishes!!

I haven't actually banned anybody from doing anything, but there are plenty of things I wish I could ban people from doing. However, I'm trying not to give in to my inner spoilt brat! I did consider for a moment banning the drinking of red wine, but then realised that would make me suffer.

Not in terms of drunken antics or anything. But - and this could be controversial - I will be requesting that my mother refrain from smoking on the morning so she doesn't waft the smell around when greeting guests. Not sure how that will go down...and not sure if I will care enough on the actual day...I'll see.

No guest shall be wearing denim!

The only thing that springs to mind is DO NOT take photo's of me on the toilet, and if you do, then YOU ARE FORBIDDEN to put them on facebook! This happens a lot on our nights out!

That said, I won't be impressed with anyone who drinks more than one or two celebratory drinks before church. I've not said it, to anyone other than my brother and my OH, as I hope it's common sense but I could give a list of 10 people I feel I would like to say it to. And given up all hope on OHs friends applying this common sense.

My only rules are

> For Wedding Party (groomsmen specifically) - Excessive drinking should be kept until the evening reception (preferably after 9pm)

> Enjoy the day!

> It would be appreciated if all Guest's could send their photo's of the day to us after the event

1) Don't get trashed - at least not before 9pm. That applies to everyone!

2) Keep your child (the only one attending as she slipped through the brat-radar) silent during the ceremony. It will be long and boring for you - that's the way we want it.

3) OHs nephews - do not dare to pretend you like me - the last time you saw me (2 years ago!) you said you liked upsetting me becasue I was weird. I shall not pretend to be your best mates for anyone.

I would like to ban jeans and trainers, cos most of our friends think this is acceptable for their children to wear at weddings, I however, do not!

No arguing or frighting, anyone one that does will have my boot up their backside out the door!

I have banned my mum from wearing a sari. I know she doesn't want to, because she told me so, but she bows to pressure quite easily from my dad (who is Indian, although she is not) and his mum. So to make her life easier I have just put my foot down and said she is not allowed to wear one, she will wear a dress. My dad is in tails for goodness' sake, she will look so odd next to him if she is a non-South-Asian woman wearing a sari! This wedding is only 1/4-Indian (as I am half-Indian and H2B is English) and we are already having Indian food and the big guestlist and some Indian music, so enough is enough and I will not have my poor mother spending ages getting into a sari for the evening!

I haven't stated it on the invitation but I really don't want jeans and shirts hanging out even if they are evening only guests.

Please return the cd's that I have provided for you with some of your wedding photo's on, they are not a wedding favour!

no ghosts or ghouls at your wedding then Charlie hey ?

Lmao! Damm my fat fingers!

I wish I could make everyone wear smart clothes so all the photos look good. dont i sound like a snob haha

hhmn, I kinda know what you mean. My mum doesn't smoke, but my OH does when he is nervous. I am thinking of asking him not do before the ceremony as I do not want to our fiss kiss as a married couple to be all smokey.

There are lots of things I could think of but then I realise that they're more common sense than rules. Thankfully we'll only have a couple of guests without common sense!

"Common sense" isn't as common as many people think it is...

Too true!

I'm so on board with NO CONFETTI!

I don't like things being thrown at me, no matter what the sentiment behind it is....

Oh and my Dad is NOT allowed to play footsie with my Mum under the Head Table....?

x

I would like none of my family to fall out.. Yes I have both sets of my parents their with partners but it has been 11 years so no evil looks and whispers! Or you will leave early!!!

I would also like to make sure no one wears denim my dress code is there for a reason!! My friend requested all women wear flat or low healed shoes as she is short! I wish I had thought of that one!!!!

?

Wouldn't happen. Get over it.

We "suggested" that ladies wear sensible shoes, simply because our photos will be taken outside in the garden and the forest itself, and should there have been any rain recently (obviously not on the day itself because it'll be perfect), the peaty soil of the New Forest is likely to become soft, and spikey heels are likely to sink into it.

I told both my parents that it is MY day - they have to get over it! just becuase they cant stand the sight of each other doesnt mean they have to bring it to my wedding day!

I actually think that is very sensible AJ as if I rocked up in my favourite velvet heels to be walked through mud or other dirty things, i'd go mental!

I've also had to go to a day at the Races before where I had to keep pulling my heels out of the grass - so annoying! I'd rather know in advance.

you could bring a spare pair for the photos!?!

One of my work colleagues has already said she is bringing two pairs of shoes, a heeled pair for most of the day and a flat pair for dancing and the "outdoor bits".
