A bride-to-be has been branded “rude” and “tasteless” over “appalling” rules on her wedding invitation, including a strict all-black dress code.
The woman shared a list of strict rules that her friends and family had to follow because she wanted her wedding day to be “perfect.”
She said guests are only allowed to wear black clothing, no chaperones are allowed and children under 10 are prohibited from attending the “tech-free” wedding.
The bride warned that those who break the rules will be asked to leave.
“Keep in mind that a wedding should be perfect for the bride and groom and these details will make that happen,” said the bride.
‘Please wear only black clothing, not white or black or any other color, including belts and ties. Children under 10 years old are not allowed.
“Those who do not follow this recommendation will be asked by my coordinator to leave without my knowledge, as this could ruin the evening and the photos and videos we have in mind.”
The bride explained that the escorts “were not automatic with each invitation.”

“We are reserving space first for those closest to us,” he said.
‘If you’d like to bring someone we know, please ask, so we can make sure they have food, alcohol and snacks.
“Every person invited has already paid and we don’t want to be short of people.”
The woman explained that she needed to be clear about who the special guests were after her family decided to invite other people to her wedding without telling her.
“My brother already assumed that everyone he knows would come to my wedding, including people I haven’t spoken to in 10 years and who have never met my fiancé,” she said.
‘One guest was going to bring their four small children despite my request to not have small children because “they’re family so they don’t count” – they’re literally the reason I’m asking not to invite small children because they’re ruthless.
“A random person we see sometimes and barely know… said something like ‘apparently, I was invited to your little party as a date.’ That’s the reasoning behind the strong wording.”
The bride said she asked guests to arrive at 3:30 p.m. for the 4 p.m. ceremony because she fears her family will be late.
“My family is all country and informal; nobody knows how to dress and they think I’m elegant, but we’re having a very formal and expensive wedding that we’ve been planning for two years,” she explained.
‘I know my family will be the ones showing up without the requested attire, 30 minutes late in the middle of the ceremony with their two-year-old children and five friends I don’t know, if I don’t give them specific instructions not to do so.’
The bride said she had been feeling “stressed” but hoped her family would follow her rules so she could have the wedding of her dreams.

Her dilemma was shared again on the Facebook group That’s it, I’m wedding shaming, with many pointing out that the bride was not the problem.
“To be fair, his family sounds like a nightmare,” one said.
“Your reasoning is fair, but the invitation is poorly worded. If you have a family like that, then you might be better off eloping,” suggested another.
“I have to agree with her. If her family is as bad as she says, then maybe she has to be a complete idiot to get her message across,” one added.
Others suggested the bride should tone down her instructions, while others criticized her for the “tacky” and “atrocious” rules.
“His requests aren’t outrageous, but they need to be edited so they don’t sound like a lunatic,” said one.
“This is extremely poorly worded and comes across as a spoiled girlfriend,” another added.
Meanwhile, many particularly questioned the bride’s font choice, with one joking: “That’s it, I’m font-shaming.”
“The font! Terrible! The words! Terrible!” said one.
“I can barely read that font. I’m pretty sure Uncle Cletus won’t bother,” another shared.
“If you tell me what to do with capital letters, I WON’T DO IT,” wrote one.
“I got a migraine just reading it. The font, the cramped words, and all caps… most people said they couldn’t even read it. I’d gladly skip this wedding.”
