If I was friends with them, yes. But if I didn't know them outside of weddingbee, then no.
There are a few bees who probably dont know, but i feel i have a connection to them. There posts maybe seem sincere all the time and I have followed there "treck" through the wedding world of planning. Some i just feel like..."If I knew this girl im sure we would be great friends" So im always curious if others feel this way.
I would totally go and invite someone off the boards if there was that friendship connection!
I think it would be fun!! Kind of like that show "Four weddings" and you could meet the bee for the first time *laugh*
There are some Bees whose wedding I would go to in a heartbeat. I just know that it wouldve been helpful to have someone who knows what it's like to plan a wedding have my back and help me stay organized. My sister was great as were my bridal posse. It just would've been nice, so definately.
I totally would! the only thing that i think would be awkward would be... where to put them? None of my friends/family are very much into online stuff (not even FI.. I'm all alone! lol) and I think any of them would think it was SUPER weird that I invited some "random blogger" (honestly most of them might not what a blog is) or person from a message board to my wedding.. so i'd have to try to figure out the least judgmental people and put them by that group haha.
@CorgiTales: That's the only problem I think I'd have with it too. You could always just come up with some elaborate back story of your friendship that explains why no one has met this person before...
@CorgiTales So awsome that you answered this post bc if i could go back in time and had the nuts to do it......you totally would have been one of the bees i invited!! (dont ask why!! cause i dont know...*laugh*)
@Baileyh: Haha I would totally do it! I think I'm just the type of person who isn't afraid of strangers though. I get what you mean by the post though...WB is a good way to make new friends. Even if we're online we're still a community and we share such personal stories with each other...I think it could work!
I had a small wedding with only 60 people, but if I didn't have the budget constraint I would've LOVED to invite some girls from here. The Bees could appreciate better than anyone all the nerves and jitters I went through to put things together and how it all came together in the end. I'd totally go to another Bee's wedding too if I was invited. I would probably notice the little cute details that other guests may not.
I definitely have a couple of Bees who I think if we knew one another in real life, we'd be great friends. It would have been kind of fun to invite some people from the Bee to our wedding and if I was invited to someone else's, I'd go in a heartbeat!
I would too! There are lots of bees on here who I think I would be great "real life" friends with if we were living near each other. People meet and form love relationships from online sites all the time...why not friendships too?
i met my fiance online, one of my bridesmaids from a teen band message board (like 12 years ago..) and i've recently become offline friends with a girl from weddingbee! we're actually hanging out again this weekend haha...
i'm all about internet friends becoming offline friends!
This is one of the reasons I wish I lived in a bigger town. It makes me sad to see all the meetup posts but there's hardly anyone from my area on the bee...so I have no one to "meetup" with.
I think if there were bees in my area I could get to know I would have invited them or I'd go and help out at their wedding if needed.
I'd totally do it! There's a few bees that I feel if we lived closer, we'd be friends. However, my wedding has already happened so I can't really do anything with that.
I did invite someone I met off of Craigslist thou. I posted an ad looking for a roommate (to replace me when I moved out), we emailed back & forth about the house & the roomies & became kinda e-pen pals for months. I invited her to my wedding & I was invited to hers. She moved here about 2 weeks before my wedding & got married 1 week after me. I wasn't back from my honeymoon in time for me to go to hers. However, when she came & people asked how we were friends she said "we aren't friends". It was a little awkward but oh well.
@camrie: I feel the same way about being in a small town. I want a meet-up!
@serabell "we arent friends"!!! oh seriously...what a weird response!! But thats cool that you did that!! I actually met a girl in line for a bridal fair and we have corresponded a ton since then and have met up. She invited me to her engagement party but I couldnt make it!! :(
I actually have this issue with a friend I met through one of my horse websites. She is actually the one that helped me get my horse and put the first weeks of training in. We've come to be fairly close, and have visited each other, but she lives in Texas and doesn't know anyone else who is coming to the wedding.
I'm meeting up with my first Bee in a couple of weeks. I'm excited, because I don't have a lot of Chicago friends outside of school.
I never thought of this before, but yea I totally would - I don't know if any bees would come, but I'd invite them! This is a cute thread and makes me remember why I like WB so much...
Oh and serabell -if I lived closer I would help you take care of your ringworm box kitties!!
I invited Meerkat to stop by my reception, but she already had plans. :)
I know you said not a blogger, but she's the only bee of any kind who I really interact with who is near where we got married.
Would I go to another bee's wedding? Heck yes! And I'd take pictures for everyone else who couldn't join us! :)
Totally! I would both invite and go. I have actually met some awesome ppl on WB, who I know follow on twitter and friended on FB.
If we'd gotten close enough to merit an invitation, I'd definitely go. The bees I've met in real life were awesome and their weddings all sounded like a ton of fun.
@Baileyh - Yea, I'm still a little confused about it! I haven't heard from her since thou.
@Rachaelrobin - Thank you :). No one wanted to help, except once my friend helped wash them & another friend visited them once. So many bee's have supported me, which helped me thru the tough times so in a way you totally helped :).

Would you invite a bee to your wedding? and im not just talking the bloggers Im talking about a bee that is just on the boards etc.
(and by all the starts align I mean, she lives in the same town or close, you have room at the wedding and you can afford it etc.)
if you got invited would you go?
