‘Nothing but a gift’, trolls criticize bride over ‘tacky’ wedding invitation they would throw in the ‘trash’

A COUPLE were brutally attacked after a photo of their wedding invitation went viral online.

Instead of going all out and inviting everyone and the neighbor, the loved-up duo decided they would get married in “a private ceremony”.

However, the bride and groom still sent out invitations months before the nuptials, asking friends and family to “join them in spirit.”

The bride, Daily Mail reportedassumed that the cream-colored cards would lessen the shock and blow for those who hadn’t made the guest list.

However, it seems that exactly the opposite was achieved, as social media users called the text “paternalistic and rude”, pointing to a crucial detail.

What’s more, people also considered the invitation and wedding to be “nothing more than a gift” as they flocked to the comments to share their thoughts.

“Great way to let people know they weren’t invited but you’d still like a gift,” one person said.

“Not even a virtual wedding, that’s just tacky,” added another — and it seemed like they weren’t the only ones echoing the general sentiment.

“Let’s have a wedding, you’re not invited,” joked one social media user.

There were also some more brutal responses, with someone saying they would throw the invitation in the trash.

”If I got that, I would go straight to the trash.”

“I would use these as kindling for the fire,” another laughed.

Meanwhile, other eagle-eyed Internet fans pointed out an unfortunate spelling mistake — the couple had written “spirit” instead of “spirit.”

“I spill my drink,” one person was hysterical.

“I’m not sure how to get anywhere in spirit,” another person shouted.

Why it’s time to ditch wedding favors once and for all

By Josie Griffiths, Deputy Editor of Digital Fabulous and engaged

When was the last time you saw something in a store window or browsed online and thought “this would be the perfect gift for 120 of my closest friends, coworkers, relatives, and boyfriend’s partners I barely know”?

I’ll tell you when, never, because there is NO universal gift that everyone will love – unless you want to go broke buying Rolexes and Tiffany jewelry, and even then they wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste.

So why are brides still piling on the stress (and expense) of wedding favors on top of everything else we have to organize?

I’ve been to dozens of weddings over the past five years, so when I got engaged, I already had a mental list of what to do and what not to do on my big day, and ditching the wedding favors was firmly on the agenda.

The cost of buying an individual gift for everyone who arrives is huge, which means many couples try to keep it in the under-five category.

But the reality is that no one wants a cheap, poorly thought out souvenir – they’d probably rather have a free drink at the bar.

It’s not just that: wedding bags are notoriously small, with no room to store an unexpected gift, and catering servers have a bad habit of taking away wedding favors when they’re clearing the coffee mug from the tables.

I bet none of my guests will notice a random gift missing from the dinner table.

If you really hate the idea of ​​not buying something for your guests, charitable donations are always a nice gesture.

But the last thing your friends and family need is more random tattoos cluttering their homes — so it’s time to save them the guilt of throwing your Etsy-bought keychain in the trash.

This isn’t the first time a couple has come under fire over their invitation – recently, a bride and groom were completely angered by their “rude” invitation.

“We ask that all guests wear as much white as possible, absolutely no purple or all black,” the text read.

“Get a babysitter because, honestly, we won’t have anything for them to do,” the pair demanded.

Furthermore, the couple added that the wedding would be completely alcohol-free, with no alcohol being served or allowed at the venue.

The icing on the cake was the couple then notifying the guests to RVSP – otherwise they would have to “bring a chair and a sandwich” to the ceremony.
