What if Bees Swarmed Our Wedding?

August 5th, 2009 @ 11:05 am by Mrs. D'orsay

Wellll… it would be great! Because I’m not talking about insects, I’m talking about bloggers! Specifically, these lovely ladies (plus a few hornets and a baby bee).



Mr. D and I are so excited to welcome a few of our online friends to our nuptials. Though… at first, my mother thought I was referring to “B list people” vs. “Bee people”. By now though, she’s used to me saying things like, “Avocado said…,” or, “Candy Corn is coming!” This all sounds kinda strange if you’re not hip to the ‘bee.

Have you ever invited anyone to your wedding you hadn’t (yet) met in person?

That’s really sweet. I invited a friend whom I met through another online board. We’ve been friends through emailing/talking on the phone, but have never meet in real life. Unfortunately, she and her husband couldn’t make it to the wedding. It would have been really fun to meet up though.

You have to make sure there are lots of photos of the other Bees in attendance!!

I guess that sounds funny… to invite people you haven’t met. But I haven’t met some of my FI’s family that is coming.

I know what you mean. I’m always talking about WeddingBee with my friends and I’ll be like ‘ohh Mrs. Kitten’s video was amazing… loved Mrs. Cupcakes invites!’. My bridesmaids are all confused and don’t get it.

Do I hear tell of some kind of pre-or-post wedding Baltimore Bee meetup? (Not with you, of course, but with other fabulous swarming bees…) I’m just saying…might as well take advantage of everyone being in the area!

@Gator: @backyardwed: Yup! It’s the knot, though, admittedly, I’ve found their system occasionally frustrating. I’d encourage you to check out other systems as well for your guest list manager such as martha’s or wedding wire’s. For our wedding website we used project wedding and I highly recommend it!

@edb: great idea! I think several are only coming down for the night though, so I’m not sure how many would still be around. :(

@Hayley: Yay! Glad I’m not alone here!

@Miss.Gator: hahahaha, I’m more used to the weird looks by now…but no one really gets it….

Who wouldn’t want a bunch of crazy wedding obsessed fellow brides at their party? We’re going to be waiting on D’orsay hand and foot all day, and we’ll keep the dance floor going until they kick us off that night! Sooooo excited!

That’s awesome. So, I have a question that would maybe make a good Pengy blog post. It seems as if there’s a whole Weddingbee world out there we don’t see behind the scenes where you all talk etc. I’d love to know how it works.

I am inviging a friend I met “online” a few years ago - we’ve NEVER met in person (she lives in Washington (the state) and I’m in Indiana) - but she got me through MANY tough relationships in my past (until I met Mr. JuneBride)…and I absolutely HAD to invite her to the wedding! I can’t wait to meet her!

@sarsk624–I’ve been wondering the same thing!! Do the Bees have their own kind of social networking site where you can communicate amongst yourselves?
