That was my first thought too. Uninviting the groom also works.

Oh, you can un-invite one of the in-laws for some amazing chaos too.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

Uninvite the groom take his place.

[-] Melochar@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

I too choose this guy's wife!

Uninvite the priest, I'm running this thing now

[-] illi@piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago

You usually invite guests to the wedding, so I'd assume bride and groom would be safe under this logic.

The parents however....

[-] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 54 points 2 months ago

If a person gets minus'd, does that apply to her plus one? Or can the plus one attend without her?

[-] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 35 points 2 months ago

And if two people uninvite each other, does that remove their uninvite-privilege, thus making the uninvite invalid and creating a paradox? Or would they have to fight for it over a lava pit or a chasm with either swords or massive cotton swabs?

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Well guess who just got promoted to activity planning!

[-] Rooster326@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago

It's FIFO. So whoever was uninvited first would lose their privileges.

That's why it's so important to RSVP immediately!

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

-1 * -1 = 1

ergo, they become each other's plus-ones

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

I'll be choosing myself as the minus one, I'd love to come but rules are rules, have a lovely evening.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 months ago

If two people uninvite each other, it's gonna cause a paradox, and the whole wedding will overflow the stack

[-] PuddleOfKittens@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

How would removing both cause a paradox? Removing a guest doesn't remove their Plus One, so why should removing the guest remove their Minus One?

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

People who aren't guests shouldn't be able to affect the guest list, so removing a guest would remove their plus/minus one

[-] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's how you get the $NaN glitch in your bank account, but also for some reason Keanu Reeves is the officiant while holding akimbo pistols, and everyone's outfit includes a green sweater

Ngl, I'd un-invite someone from the wedding party just to sow chaos.

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 35 points 2 months ago

Dear Mr. Holloway.

I will be attending your wedding. I choose you as my Minus One. Please do not show up.

Bless,

Okay but a minus one can be counter acted by a plus one right?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

What is this math you speak of?

[-] notarobot@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Y es, un the sense that if you are invited, someone uninvites you, then you can plus one yourself.

But if you bring a plus one they can me minus one'd and you can't do anything to prevent it.

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Hmmm this is actually pretty genius.

If you think someone might not want you, but you really want to be there, plus one yourself.

But if two or more people minus one you, then you're still not going.

[-] notarobot@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

Holly shit I do not know how you managed to read my message. I had auto correct set to Spanish.

I was picturing something realtime. You get an app where you can type your +1 and you get a list of all the guests. You tap someone you get to -1 them. At any point you might get a notification hat you have been -1'd and you can go +1 yourself and bring no one. If you are not +1ing your self then your +1 can get -1'd in which case you can't invite someone else (I'd love to make it so that you can change your +1 to someone else but then the other person might change their -1 to the new person and it turn into a cycle, or -1 are permanent and prone to abuse)

As a fun option you can sell your -1 if you don't plan on using it

No, self-votes should not count because then everyone will just self-vote and no actual consensus building is taking place.

If you get downvoted, hope that you have at least one friend who cares about you being there

[-] notarobot@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

If you self vote, you don't get to bring anyone. Even with self voting you can get -1'd twice. Otherwise you can +1 your date, the you get -1'd and your date goes alone. Which has a high likelihood of meaning that they won't go either

no questions asked

Yes.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Can I uninvite the whole wedding and save $25,000? No, it's expected of me to spend that money.

[-] Statick@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Eloping was one of the best decisions my wife and I ever made. We still spent a bunch, but it was for the two week vacation that went along with the elopement instead of 3-4x that for a single day.

[-] PKscope@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

This is what we plan to do. Makes no sense to throw all that money away for a silly ceremony where you're bound by what everyone else expects of you. We'd rather do something special for ourselves.

[-] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

If it's expected, you have a circle of friends that do not really align with your idea of a good life. Sounds harsh, but please, I've been to fun weddings that were had at maybe 3k€ and nobody left hungry or thirsty and the close family guests from far away were even booked rooms nearby.

If "come alone" is one of the options, does that imply that in order to uninvite someone you have to yourself avoid attending?

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago
[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

you can uninvite one person of your choosing

According to the terms, yes. Shoulda said "guest."

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Prevents objections

[-] No_Money_Just_Change@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

I plus one myself for an extra life

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Every single person uninvites uncle Steve.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 2 months ago

uncle Steve ends up attending because of a buffer overflow
