An Illustration from Piddy Orchid of what not to ask on theknot.com 1)
Q: Help! My FMIL is fat! Where can I find a dress for her?A: Wow. Just, wow. It was really tacky of you to call your FMIL fat, but ANYway...the old stand-bys like Dillards, Macy's, and Von Maur carry good stuff. Additionally, other brides' FMIL and/or MOB have had luck at David's, small local bridal boutiques, and online shops like Chadwick's.

Q: Help! My MOH is pregnant! What do I do!?!?A: Um, tell her "congratulations" and throw a baby shower for her. Listen, she's not supposed to stop living her life just because you're getting married. And before you retort with, "I just wanted to know where I could find some good maternity BM gowns, geez," you should know that it's okay to have non-matching BM gowns. She doesn't have to wear what all of your delightfully petite BMs are wearing. In fact, if you make her do that, she'll probably just feel really self-conscious and loathe being in your wedding.

Q: Help! Where should I have my reception in Louisville? I have 500 guests, want beautiful indoor and outdoor space, need in-house catering that provides alcohol, has ample parking, and costs under $200.A: You have unrealistic expectations. Also,
http://www.louisvilleweddingnetwork.com/ and this blog have *the* comprehensive listing of locations. If you can't find something that suits your needs here, then you need to look into booking someone's private residence or eloping in Vegas. Because your magical fairytale princess palace you've dreamed about since you were 12 doesn't exist. Sorry. You can book my backyard for $50 and a 12 pack of Bud Light. Just be careful to look out for the dog poop.

Q: My (insert family member here) did (insert random act here). It made me angry/sad/depressed/jealous/unhappy/gassy/etc. Should I uninvite them?A: Personal decision. No one here cares. Take it elsewhere, honey.
