Re: A different wedding reception idea!

@sunshine 919  I have a female friend that has several pair. I just look at her and smh. Mine are trimmed in blue so it will match my dress. Blue patent pumps to the wedding and my Jordans to the reception! It will be a great time. We will surly work off the wedding cake! Just gotta get the dance steps! Lol!

Re: A different wedding reception idea!

I think it's this couple's wedding and reception, so it's up to them what they're happy with.

 

Clearly, they're thinking about the comfort of their guests.  Nothing odd about it at all.  I doubt they're going to bar anyone from the reception who isn't wearing sneakers.

I read about the oddest things. 


Some brides wear sneakers, no one sees your shoes when you are wearing a long dress.  I think people are realizing comfort is important to have a good time.  I have also seen where the bride will provide flip flops at the reception. Most women take their shoes off anyway at receptions. I think its a thoughtful idea, although Jordons are expensive so I am glad she gave people choices.  Most men own one pair of Jordons, I know the teenage boys do.


The sneakers are Nike Air Jordan, and come in sizes for men, women, and kids. They are also quite expensive. 😊

Re: A different wedding reception idea!

The OP said that the brides mother has mobility issues, so she probably can’t wear heels and is going to wear sneakers instead. Maybe her mom would feel embarrassed if she were the only one wearing sneakers so this is why the bride and groom invited everyone else to wear them too. Plus, I’m sure they want everyone else to be comfortable as well.
