“I just pulled up to a bridal shower in white pants and now I’m contemplating if I should go home,” she wrote over the top of the video.
“I’m 7 months pregnant and these were the only pants clean !”
“I hate myself,” she added in the caption.
And people in the comments section were immediately divided as to whether Kaylie should actually go home, or if she should just not worry and head to the regardless.
“Did you really feel it necessary to wear white with white though?” one person wrote in the comments, mistaking her pale blue shirt for white.
“My shirt was fully blue,” Kaylie replied.
“I would just try to keep your jacket on,” another added.
“I would make sure to say to the bride, sorry to be in white, but nothing else fit today.
“I think most people appreciate honesty.”
“I would’ve rather wore anything else tbh and planned ahead with laundry,” a third commented.
“Coming from someone who is currently 9 months pregnant.”
“Same lol!” Kaylie responded.
“I totally didn’t realise I pulled up to a bridal shower until I was sitting outside.
“Mistakes were made but also solved haha.”
In a follow-up TikTok , Kaylie insisted she had done what she could by grabbing a jumper from her car – but didn’t have anything to swap her white trousers with.
So when she went into the house, she immediately apologised to the bride-to-be – her husband’s cousin – and said she “didn’t care”.
Etiquette expert's advice for wedding guests - what not to do
ETIQUETTE expert Jo Hayes shares her ‘don’ts’ for wedding guests:
1. Don’t request a plus one
A wedding is a time of celebration with close friends and family, with a guest list carefully curated by the bride and groom.
For many couples, this task can often take a long time to perfect, picking and choosing important people that they want to share their special day with.
So it’s only courteous to respect this decision, and don’t pressure them to allow you to bring a plus one if they haven’t been invited, or if they’ve already said no.
2. Don’t steal the spotlight or make the day about yourself in any way
This means no wedding proposals, baby news announcements, don’t make speeches unless you’ve been asked to, don’t start discussing family dramas, and don’t turn up in an outfit fit for the club.
While there may be some couples who don’t mind this, it’s still important to be respectful about what big news to share at someone else’s big celebration.
3. Do not arrive at the ceremony or reception drunk
Jo says, “I remember one wedding I attended where half the guests (not including myself) got wasted and the bride and groom, too.
The end of the ceremony descended into a messy, loud, and unpleasant experience.”
Keeping away from consuming too much alcohol will help avoid a plethora of other unpleasant things, and keep the wedding the light and joy-filled celebration that it’s set out to be.
On top of that, don’t start an argument. No one wants their wedding day ruined by ‘Uncle Ed and Cousin Tom’ getting into a barney over politics.
4. Don’t pressure or criticise the couple over their decisions
Some bridal parties can decide against inviting children to their wedding, to serve a buffet meal that may not be to everyone’s taste, or to have the DJ not accept music suggestions.
It’s important to remember that the day is about the soon-to-be-weds, rather than the guests attending the wedding.
The couple will have made choices based on what they want on their special day, so it’s good to respect their decisions.

“I walked in. I was like, ‘I’m so sorry for wearing white pants. It was a complete accident.’
“Everything was fine. Like about five other people at the shower wore white.
“So it was literally an accident.”
She also blamed the “worst pregnancy brain” for the mishap, while also slamming those who took aim at her over her outfit.
“You never know what people are going through and it’s not that big of a deal,” Kaylie concluded.
“I would never ever ever do it, but it’s no reason to attack someone and tear them down.
“So yeah the internet sucks.”
