I have a few people who are coming to my wedding who abit big mouthed, sometimes unthinking and selfish who have in the past ruinned special days for me ie. Birthdays, graduation with their selfish complaining. I've been trying to think of a polite way of warning them this would be really upsetting for them to do this at the wedding. I've come up with this poem to include in my invites:
If you notice anything wrong Or something you don't like or doesn't belong Please feel free to have your say before our speial day But on the day itself, if things don't go your way We hope you'll be as kind As to not share what's on your mind; We hope you can appreciate How much effort has gone into making this day great For you and us a like So on the 26th feb lets not fight.
It's a first draft i wrote last night. I love to know what you all think.

CommentAuthorNicsquared
I like it as long as you dont think the poem itself may get their backs up - that would be my main concern x
There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

I think that's great! I'm really worried certain people are going to have rows (there's a few family feuds going on) and I really wanted to warn people that this will not be tolerated at our wedding, but not sure how to go about it?!
That sounds really good, at the end of the day it is your special day and if they were as good a friends they think then they should keep their thoughts to themselves!!
Did their mums never tell them if they don't have anything nice to say then they shouldn't say anything at all xx

I would actually be quiet offended if I received this in an invitation. It might be better to try to find a way to subtly have closer family members speak to the possible offenders rather than tarring all guests with the same brush.
CommentAuthorKayteeG
TO be honest, if I received this in an invite I wouldn't be offended as I know it wouldn't be aimed at me, so I wouldn't take it personally. However it is a good point that certain people may know you're referring to them and be a bit funny about it I suppose x

To be honest I would also not like to receive something like that in my invitation, I feel that not only could it cause problems before the wedding but it's taking the feel of the happy wedding Invitation vibe away. I would personally find another way of saying something to them, maybe at the hen do or like said above get other people to talk to them, this is only my opinion though hun and you should do what YOU want. I'm sorry that you are having to deal with people that do this, good luck xx

Thanks everyone. I have realised that i've made a bit of a grammatical boop in the title which is a bit embarrassing. To put this into a bit of context in terms of the invitations i am making, they will be more information booklets covering all sorts of imforation from a timeline of the day, food, dress code, to the history of our venue, ect.. So far this is 10 A5 pages (this may seem a bit extreme, but i want to give all the guests every possible bit of info they may need). The first 2 pages contain all the traditional invite information so the really inportant bits won't get mixed up in the rest of it. If I were to include it, then the poem would be on page 11 after all the other information.
