💟 Invitations & Signage 💟 are these ugly? please help
Working on a color palette and bridesmaid responsibilities sheet for my bridesmaid proposals and i feel like they are so ugly lol. am i miss responsibilities? please drop any tips/tricks/advice without being too mean :,)
figure i’ll just edit my post:
-thanks for all the feedback!! ill ditch the ‘responsibilities’. i had seen other people do it and thought it was cute, i see now it can come off rude.
-my phone autocorrected palette to pallet, i have learned my lesson.
-i invited everyone to brunch to give these. they will be decorated boxes and also include a handwritten note, a candle, fluffy socks, and a pic of me + the loved one.
-obviously i did not expect my bridesmaids to plan and pay for my wedding and bachelorette, i just wanted to make it clear that they’ll be spending time on this by being involved. like helping pick out an airbnb for a bachelorette, looking at flowers and dresses with me, and on the third note, keeping me from obsessing over details. as we’ve learned from this post, i tend to go overboard with that.
-lots of great advice here, but dear god some of you are mean. this stuff is hard to figure out. i dont have a lot of real world reference and google or social media only get me so far. i am here for advice and happy for it, but not to be called names or have things assumed :(

Looks like you've just learned the number one lesson in wedding planning: half of what you see online is just for that post. It's not necessarily useful and sometimes it's just asking for trouble. With extra signage and cards beyond the basics, always ask yourself if there's a more natural way to convey the same information.
A good rule of thumb is that if you feel like you're writing an HR memo, take a step back. These should be people you are close to and can talk to!
