Is it too demanding to ask that guests refrain from using their phones during the wedding/reception? I would love a phone-free event so everyone can be fully present but realize what I'm asking might send some people into a spiral.

We asked for no phones during wedding ceremony (mostly to not disrupt the photographer), but asking during the reception would have been too far to ask our guests.

Ceremony is fine, reception no

Ceremony, phone sound off is commom courtesy, and asking for phones off is not unreasonable, but some people will want to take pictures anyway. Reception. Asking will likely irritate your guests. If its fun, they won't be on it--- unless some big game is on, then sorry. And friends posting candid shots will be some of your favorites.

I wouldn't be able to follow a no-phones at the reception request. I (and most parents) need to be reachable if the babysitter has any issues.

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

I feel really down but also don’t want to start WW3 by saying something to her. I feel like I now need to rush to buy a new outfit.
