Frack it Friday; Ten Wedding "Must Haves" That are "Don't Needs"

1.STD's as in Save The Dates  (not the other kind, which no one needs...) Don't waste the money, don't commit to inviting people before you've even made your plans.  STD means "You're Invited" and when you start talking budget?  Your 300 person list may shrink to 75.

2. Programs.  If you REALLY think that your guests are going to be  fascinated by exactly who those four tuxedo clad, five chiffon glossed  attendants are, do a blackboard.  Trust me, they don't care. 

3. Cute signs.  Nothing says 'wedding' like a toddler with a blackboard sign that says, "Uncle Mark, Last Chance to Run!"  "Here Comes the Bride"?  I think we figured that out. 

4. Giant, expensive shoes.  You'll be in flip flops as soon as the first dance is over. 

5. "Proposal Boxes" for your bridesmaids.  Just ask them. 

6. Artisanal hangers  for your wedding dress. As if you might forget your name. Or your new name.  For that matter, anything "Artisanal", which will usually cost you double.

7. Ceremony Rehearsals. And everything that goes with them, including dinner for every out of town person who can't forage for their own food for one night.  Don't bother; no one remembers anything the next day, and when the day comes and you DON'T need to spend four hours playing wedding, you'll breath a sign of relief, have another piece of pizza and look forward to the day.

8.After parties.  They sound great now, but trust me, after the cake is cut, you'll be pooped. And it's your wedding night.

9. Tanning. Just don't.

10.Robes, monogrammed shirts; anything you think is cute for getting ready. They'll never wear them again. Spend your money on bagels.
