Wedding Blog
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?

Share this post: What if Bees Swarmed Our Wedding?
Awww, wish I could make it, but glad so many of the Bees are representing! 
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!!
Miss D’Orsay, what wedding website are you using? We are looking for one to use right now and I really like the set up
inviting online friends is the best!! i have about 10 of my good friends i met on the knot invited to my wedding!
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.

that’s so cool that so many bees are being invited to your day! how fun!
Still super bummed I can’t make it 
Although I’m sure there will technically be Lip Gloss in all the pictures
woohooooo let the bee swarm beegin!! I’ll be there!
I think that is awesome:) A lot of bee’s on here become good friends:)
So fun! I wish I could fly across the country to be there. Can someone bring a rubber duck and put in on the table?
I’m so bummed Mr Frenchie and I can’t make it I wish your wedding wasn’t during our honeymoon.
@Miss Duckling: Ditto! I have a French Bulldog Magnet that needs a seat 
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.
Yay for Weddingbee and yay for online friends! Can’t wait for what will surely be a fantastic wedding!
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!
Lifelong friendships are made online now, so I don’t see a difference in that and inviting any other good friend!
awww so jealous i can’t go! can’t wait to see all the bee pics
I’m so sad that I can’t make it Can you please take a pic with an origami swan for me?
hehhe - My husband is used to my saying “oooh Mrs Avacado this” or “Miss Apple Cider that” but I can only imagine my mothers face if she saw names like that on our guest list.
@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 would have invited my friend Mrs. Penguin to my wedding….but she was busy that day. You know, getting married and stuff.
I would love to do this, but we just can’t afford to add any extras. Can’t wait to see the bee-union at your wedding! Oh and I LOVE your venue, it was definitely a contendor for our wedding!
Cute! I bet this will make your day a bit more special!
Please put a big mug of hot chocolate at the table for me!
The hive know more about my wedding than most of my friends lol… I want them ALL at my wedding
That’s so cool! I wish I could make it. Can’t wait to see pictures.
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!
Wow! I have never met anyone online. Although I have been using the internet for quite a long time, I don’t know why I never made friends…
@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?
SO EXCITED!!!! Even though I know Champ is gonna try to make my non-dancin’ arse dance. hahah <3
Miss Poodle, sure–I was just curious if there was something else that was Bee-specific.
That’s so awesome, I bet yor wedding will be a blast!
Ah! I can’t wait to see the photos of so many Bee’s together
So so so bummed I’ll be missing out!
@Hayley: Come to mine! I need more broadcast news reppin’ at my wedding!
actually last year i went to my friend wedding in seattle (im in nc) and we had never met until her wedding day.
@carrie.a.s.b: @sarsk624: Lot’s of bees are friends on the FB, gchat and I follow several on twitter. So many of Mr.D’s invites from England couldn’t make it so I extended the invite to mah bee friends.
Gosh, you are gonna have some of the best pictures and I can’t wait to see!
Soooo jealous you’re having so many bees at your wedding! There are (believe it or not) people in Mr. Bruschetta’s family I haven’t met yet — after eight years! — who are coming to our wedding.
I wish I could come!!!!! I can’t believe we will miss it by one week!
Totally wish I could make it any chance a nice refreshing glass of lemonade could make it to the table?
That’s such a neat idea!! It’ll be nice for you to meet all the people you’ve been chatting with during all your wedding planning
I think this is so fabulous - I would love to do something like this…how exciting! And I cannot wait to see their recaps and pictures!!!
[...] intelligent, and super-supportive people. Who knew when I first joined Weddingbee that I would be attending the wedding of someone I’ve only conversed with over the web? Who knew that a full year and 4 months after my [...]
I’m inviting one of my online friends to my wedding! I don’t know if she’ll come, but she’s heard me gab about wedding plans so much I just can’t imagine not inviting her!
