Pat's mom wore black. It wasn't all black...it was a black skirt thing and a black/silver jacket but still black. I don't think it is too weird. I go to a lot of weddings and there are plenty of people and family in black. It just has a bad rep since it is what people wear to funerals. I always wear black to weddings I photograph...it gets depressing to wear all the time lol. Thanks for letting me wear green to your wedding

I have to admit I agree with you on the black thing. My MIL wore all black to our wedding and I think it was definitely on purpose. We had a spring wedding in all pastels. All the guests except for her were in light colors; I thought it was really strange because our wedding was in the morning (9 am) and it was not a formal evening event.

Our wedding was in the summer and quite a few guests/family members wore black. And they were all very happy about our marriage. So I don't think black is a big deal. I think if a MIL wanted to make a rude statement, she'd wear white. LOL.

I think the black thing is ok, I lot of brides dress their BMs in black now.

That is true! The only rule I have ever known about dressing for a wedding is you don't wear white.
I think black is a go-to color for many people when they dress up.

What did you and Eric decided about the wording?

No not yet...hopefully I will have some time to work on it later today. Lauren and I are going invitation shopping tonight. We are going to Michaels to get some ideas.

My BIL's girlfriend at the time was going to wear a white dress to our wedding. We didn't really like her and she was a major attention you-know-what. Thankfully someone (maybe my BIL) told her not to. It wouldn't have been a huge deal since she wasn't in the wedding party or anything but we didn't have that many guests and I just think it would have been weird if someone other than me was in a white dress.

Thanks for wearing green!

Ok so mini-update. Apparently my mom didn't care their names were on it, but she cared how it was worded...kinda like they were throwing the WHOLE thing. So it just needs a little tweaking.

Did she feel like for the whole wedding or just the DP. Because they are paying for the DP right? This stuff is soo touchy! I say just drop an email saying about the party

I think that is a nice way of wording it. Except, if it was my dessert party, I would end it like:

"Delicious treats provided by Carol and Jere M."
Or
"Please thank Carol and Jere M. for expanding your waistlines. Enjoy!"

Just kidding.

That's cute though!!!

Actually, I lied, this is more fitting for me:

"Please thank Carol and Jere M. for your over-consumption of glucose and other such tasty carbohydrates. Enjoy!"

Only you would include the words glucose and carbohydrates!!

No she said it made it sound like they were paying for the DP AND the wedding.

I was thinking of making it sound more like this:
We invite you to start
our fairytale wedding
In the sweetest way possible

Event: Private Epcot Dessert Party
Date: March 2nd, 2010

Time: Seven o’clock in the Evening
Location: United Kingdom

Meet at EPCOT’s Main Entrance
in front of Guest Relations
(located to the right of the turnstiles)

Admission to EPCOT is not required

Hosted by Carol and Jere M.

I think that should make your mom happy. It is very obvious that they are throwing the dessert party not the wedding.

See you in a little bit by the way!!!

It's hard to believe that someone would be so clueless as to not realize that you don't wear white to a wedding unless it is your own.

I think black is a good, safe choice.

everything sounds lovely!
