WEDDING NECKLACES : In case the point was missed the bride is my daughter's aunt; my husband'ssister. The other sister in the family was the Maid of Honor. Everbodyknew each other. My daughter was not "the rented kid".As brides plan their weddings, they need to understand how important theirwedding day is to them and their friends and family. I remember MissManners writing in her column once that the wedding is not for the bride andgroom, but the parents of the bride and groom. Simply said, it's more thantwo people standing up and saying "I do." If the bride and groom want a bigfancy social event. Fine. But they need to understand theetiquette that goes along with such an event. Perhaps this discussion canhelp other brides-to-be understand the meaning of being asked to be anattendant, even by a little girl.
WEDDING NECKLACES : Again thanks for your input and those that have understood how I felt.Sometimes just venting and having someone saying "Yeah, I understand. Thatbites." is all that is needed.Best wishes to Linda. Your day is coming fast!I made a "Wedding day Emergency Kit" for the bride that she really liked.It had all those "oops, what if" things in it like breath mints, safetypins, nail file, etc. I even put money for that Pepsi- just in case. (youknow the commercial I'm talking about?)It is probably not possible for *you* to make your daughter feel likeshe wasn't overlooked, because she *was* overlooked. I'm not a parentbut I can only think of two things to do: 1) Your *husband* could tellhis sister how the oversight made the FG feel; maybe she will thank theFG after the fact. 2) Use this experience as a lesson for yourdaughter, in how important it is to thank people for favors, and not tomake people feel excluded, etc.
WEDDING NECKLACES : -- Katherine Sullivan Nortel Networks Research Triangle Park, NCI don't think the mother (or the little girl) would have cared if her giftwas the SAME or not...but I do think it was tacky to give other peoplepresents in front of her when (at least in her eyes) she did the samething they did. It's not about being grown up...it's about being polite.If the bride didn't want to give presents to the FG, then why did she haveher there when the presents were given???No, we never said they were...however, my little sister was my juniorbridesmaid, and she was not an adult...but she wanted to be like the "biggirls" and help like the big girls, etc. The girl in this case was PUTinto the group (the wedding party) BY THE BRIDE, so why shouldn't shecompare herself to that group?
WEDDING NECKLACES : The original post stated that she received nothing. I don't think themother cared so much about the other activities, just that her daughterwas asked to do a job (flower girl) which they had to buy a dress for, doher hair for, etc, but was not recognized like the other girls doing thesame job...if her daughter HAD received a gift (not the same as the othergirls, just something) the little girl would have been happy and none ofthis would have come up. But there are some people who would say "well,at least she got to get her hair done/ride in the limo/etc" and so shepointed out that no, these things hadn't been done either...For those in similar situations, don't let yourdaughters or sons be in weddings unless the brideis close family or friends and thekid is involved every step of the way.
WEDDING NECKLACES : Too often, the flower girlis a cute child who is "rented" for the day and thenforgotten about. It is too bad that you all had to learn this lesson thehard way, but you should have heard the warningbells when you had to ask the bride about your daughter'shair "months ago", and you were "told" specific tasks to do regardingyour daughter. I would have pulled my daughter outof the "pageant" at that point.Don't put your kids through the ordeal of being a prop in someone else's wedding. If the bride doesn'thave the manners, then you have to be the responsibleadult and keep your kids out of these situations.the Gasparotti Family wrote in message...a "sparkly", too.I would have to say that's very thoughtless of the bride notto make the flowergirl feel included.A cheap gift would have meant the world to the little girl.Although buying her something later just brings attention tothe fact that she was "forgotten."
