Wedding Invitations

Alright, so we’ve discussed many wedding themes that I’ve run across to share with you and I hope you’ve been enjoying them. Now it’s the Lord of the Rings fans turn.

After some extensive discussions how to pull it off, another movie going couple in the United States recently decided to have a Lord of the Rings Wedding theme. Once again it was planned out all the way from the themed wedding invitations to the departing of the bride and groom.  They must have some truly incredible friends and family to agree to what comes next. With the invitation, they invited people to come dressed as various people and creatures from the books and movie. They however didn’t want any scary creatures as they figured it would be best not to frighten the children.

As you’d probably guess, the tall guests mostly dressed as the Elves (the ones with pointy ears and long white hair). Some of the shorter guest came as…you guessed it…hobbits. I wonder what they did for the feet? Did they wear normal shoes or did any actually wear those fake hairy feet? Hmmm. As you can imagine, most of the children were hobbits, even with the curly hair. That would have been a cute site.

The newlyweds did receive some flack from people, but they (the guests) were more than welcome to wear normal clothes, which they did.  This brings me to the wedding etiquette portion of today. As a guest, it is important to understand that this is the newlyweds big day, not yours. So please be gracious and supportive. Most newlyweds will also understand if you don’t want participate, so try not to get too worked up over something so trivial.
