Planning a big wedding takes a long time, and there are so many little details you need to think about - from the dress code and colour schemes to food, drinks, location and much more.
After you've nailed the guestlist, invitations are a huge part of the preparations, as they really set the tone for the day and help give guests an idea of what to expect.
While most invites go down a treat with friends and family, others can cause quite the stir, as one bride and groom found out recently.
A guest at their wedding has slated the invite she received, and posted it on Reddit to get a second opinion.
She wrote: "On first impression, I was a little put off that not only was it handwritten on a thin piece of cardboard folded in half and jammed into an envelope.
"But it had the registry in big bold letters in permanent marker on the front of the invite.
"That's a bad enough first impression, but then I noticed something."
The woman went on to say that she'd only been invited to the ceremony part of the day - and wasn't at all impressed.
She continued: "We messaged the groom and asked if there was a reception afterward because the invite only listed the ceremony location
"He said yes, but we weren't invited because they couldn't afford a big to-do so only family and close friends were invited to the reception.
"So they tell us the registry information and they want us at the ceremony, but they don't like us enough to invite us to the reception? It's over an hour away and the ceremony is only 30 minutes."
She then asked whether she was being unreasonable to think the invite was rude, but other Reddit users agreed.
Someone fumed: "That's impressively rude. You can invite people to the reception only but not just the ceremony.
"I would reconsider the friendship."
Another raged: "What a greedy gift grab! Totally not a thing, and definitely rude!"
