"Please remember to take some piriton before arriving. The pollen count will be high and the last thing I want is sneezing during the ceremony."

Paraphrased but similar tone.

I can't work out if it's unreasonable to ask your guests to medicate themselves so they don't sniffle Grin

Do they have shares in that particular brand of antihistamine?

If I took it, I would fall asleep and the sound of my snoring is worse than a bit of sniffling and sneezing

I have confused myself as I find this sensible but also hilarious 😂 who would actually say that on their invite 😄

Merman is right. Piriton is one of the drowsy types of anti histamine.

I'm tempted to text to ask if she's stipulating a certain dosage or if she's leaving that up to us Grin

Summer wedding. Maybe they're planning on a whole host of floral plants and are warning their guests who suffer with hay fever?

I think telling people to medicate is unreasonable just to avoid a sniff and a sneeze. But warning them their ceremony might trigger their allergies is a nice thing to do. Maybe the wording could have been less aggressive though.

I’d dose myself up and sleep through the whole boring thing, drooling down my top. I do think though that the bride and groom (it isn’t just the bride after all, what kind of misogyny is that?!) was being funny.

Did she also advise guests to take Peptobismol or gaviscon just in case of a burp or hiccup during the speeches.....?!?!

Actually on the wedding invitation? For all eternity?

Hahahahahahha!

OohMavis I'd self medicate a little more for the wedding if I were you, it's going to be a loooong day!

I have to be careful here but I am known to be fond of a corsage, and was asked not wear one to a friend’s wedding as she doesn’t like the smell. Never mind that not all flowers smell, because she followed it up with a request of no perfume (for everyone not just me).

That's hilarious. And ridiculous.

I'm someone that holds sneezes in, but I'd be tempted to let rip in the service just to annoy her!

The whole invite has me chuckling, it's so specific. A4's worth of extra information and 'did you think about..?' bullet points.

What is it about weddings that turn people into control freaks?!

I love her but she's being a nutter.
