I wouldn't bother going to evening part of a wedding.I have been asked to a few but never bother with them,they either want you at the whole lot or not.

If a lad has a stag abroad (Newcastle/Vegas etc) and then has the wedding abroad (Spain/Italy etc), they can FRO if they expect a present, a note should be put in with the invitation saying no need for a present as u have already forked out for flights and a bottle of Factor 20.

my mates had their wedding abroad (Portugal Villamoura) so was about €800-1000 or close too it for flights and hotel for week. We and the mates who went initially said we wouldn't give anything as we'd spent all that money going over for it. but two days before wedding they had this massive BBQ which must have cost them a fortune so so we all agree to put 100 quid into the wedding cards

A mate of mine was invited to his cousins wedding ... she had to trim back the list as the cost was going past the budget . She approached him and politely pointed out that she had to cut back the list and hope he understood . His reply was ah f**k it anyway and I have the card wrote out n all at home with 200 notes in it ! He said the look on her face was worth €500

I'm not a fan of evening invitations. Occasionally, you will come across a very well managed evening party where the evening guests will be treated to a glass of champagne on arrival, the first of the evening food will be put out, and the cake will have been cut and distributed, and there will remain a few quid behind the bar for a glass of red wine, or a pint of Guinness. They will arrive when the meal has been finished, and the last vestiges of it have been cleaned away. However, more often than not it will be miscalculated, and the evening guests will arrive while the dinner is not over and the speeches are still ongoing. They will stand awkwardly in the doorway while the speech makers fumble through their duties, occasionally relying on the guests imbibing of the wine to heighten the laugh factor. Then, the evening guests will be pointed towards the cash bar, and try and to match those who have been there all day. No guarantee of nibbles, or evening food. Just the pleasure of showing up for the candid photos. Ireland is one country where the concept of "afters" is tolerated more than others, and I'll never understand it. And like you Rossieman, I will generally decline.

A group of us were invited to an afters once. Didnt like the prick but we said we woukd go. Arrived on time and headed into the function room were we took our seats. Best man(another clown) asks us to leave as the speeches werent done with. Lucky enough our mini bus driver was still in the carpark we got out of there and headed elsewere. Should have stayed as there was drama later. The groom was ridin some other moth a d she gate crashed and caused a commotion.

In fact, I know somebody who got "day invitations" as opposed to "evening invitations". The result was the same in that they didn't get dinner, Instead they didn't get the cash bar and the DJ, but they did get the Church service.
You hear some absolute gems of wedding stories, and I'm always glad to hear them. Edited by Het-field - 20 Sep 2017 at 9:15am |

Weddings can make people weird and their choices reflect that. All I can say, it wasn't a good idea and friendships were compromised.

Likewise. I can vaguely remember a thread in the Whatever section that featured a host of outstanding stories - I can't remember which thread it was though! It could have even been a thread about best men speeches that morphed into a general wedding debacle one but it was amazing. If some kind gent can recall this thread and wanted to give it an aul bump that would be great.  |
