All the engagements during the Winter semester have finally caught up to us, and the summer wedding season has officially kicked off. But between the promises of love lie a large number of students overwhelmed with the amount of June wedding invitations they’ve received. 

“It’s like a J.Crew catalog threw up on my fridge,” student Kim Breedlove said about the number of invitations she’s placed in her kitchen. 

The fridge has been the official designated area to place your wedding invitations since the dawn of wedding culture, second only to the trash can. And while it might sound enticing to display how large your social circle is compared to your roommate, you may find yourself asking one day- “wait, why should I care about you again?”

“You were my FHE mom two years ago, and now you expect me to put your face on my fridge?” expressed student Caleb Walker. “My safe space? Enough. Tell me who’s catering or I’m not even going to pretend to be interested.”

For others, the irritation in the number of invitations received might stem from its typical 2014 Pinterest-core design. 

“If I have to see that cursive calligraphy one more time, I think I’m going to be nauseous,” said student Sarah Barnes. 

Regardless of if you do actually end up going to couples’ weddings this summer, be sure to stay tuned around February; Everyone gets invited to the wedding, but only the elite get invited to the baby shower. And if you don’t end up going, no worries- they’ll be sure to remind you for the foreseeable future that they got married.
