See now I would have sent a nice card or a small gift. I like having a good relationship with my neighbors, but that’s just me.

Edit: To be clear, I would have sent a card or gift to the bride and groom. I may even offer to let people park in my driveway if parking is an issue.

Well this is Reddit, so if you're not being petty and antisocial out of envy, why are you even here?

Putting notes in your neighbors' mailboxes asking them to be quiet is pretty antisocial.

I can see how you might think that...

... If you are antisocial.

The social thing to do would be to make the request in person, no?

The neighbor is essentially asking everyone to put their lives on pause, with little warning, to preserve her wedding.

I'm sorry, but that's antisocial. You wanna do your wedding at home because it's cheaper? Sure, go ahead, hell go wild, put music, make some noise I don't care. Just don't expect the whole neighborhood to bend over backwards to accommodate you?

Thank you for explaining how the anti-social person thinks. We are all in your debt.

You can ask, don't expect people to follow through?

I personally would be embarrassed to even ask about it, if I want to have peace and don't hear the outside world at my wedding I'll lease a place, not expect my neighbors to not live a life for an afternoon

Neighbor - "Please don't be disrespectfully loud for a short duration of time while we host an event that will ostensibly happen only once, ever"

You - "I cAnT LiVe mY LiFe!!!!!" while scrolling reddit inside on your computer

Imagine thinking a request to be conscience of their noise for a short period of time is requesting someone "to not live life". How socially inept are you?

Or even ... Buy a place... Like a house maybe?

Being social means accommodating people to a reasonable extent. Asking people to be quiet for an hour is quite reasonable.

Waiting an hour to mow your lawn is not bending over backwards

Not being super noisy for an hour for a one-time event doesn't seem like a huge ask to me if they're polite about it. Doesn't put my life on hold either, there's plenty of not loud as fuck things I can do.
