Having been on this site for a few weeks and also trying to put together my wedding, I'm noticing that you can buy just about everything personalised with "bride" or "groom" or with "Chief Bridesmaid" and "Best Man" etc. I'm now spotting even more obscure items with more obscure people and also items that can be personalised with "Mr or Mrs xxxx"
To be honest I thought it was fun to begin with and had my eye on some "bride" knickers and had already made a mental note of "best man" cufflinks, but now I'm begining to get so overwhelmed by it all I'm starting to find it all very tacky and all a very unneccesary expense.
These are all things you are only going to use once, and only for a short time, and it many cases they will only be seen by a few people.
I'm now thinking that rather than getting tacky bride knickers I can treat myself to a very nice and luxiourous lingerie set that I will wear in the future.
In one way I feel a bit bah, humbug about it all, but I'm now feeling that this is just awful commercialism, and I'd rather sepend the money I things we or our guests would see and appreciate more, such as better food, nicer centre pieces (which we could easily customise the same way) or even afterwards on a nice big canvas from the photographer.
