CNN says brides cannot be tacky in planning wedding but


Posted: Oct 15, 2009

Watching a program this morning and a person asked about taking a gift to a wedding. These were people not really close and she was asking how would it be if she took an unsigned check, went to the wedding, checked it out INCLUDING what was being served at the reception and then slip into the ladies room and wrote out what she thought the wedding, I guess, was worth to her. Now, talking about tacky. This right now is high in my book. The hostess taking the question told her no. What involving weddings, showers and the like have you found tacky?

A bride I know had a shower and didnt invite any of those who attended to the actuall wedding. To top it off, the bride and groom asked friends of ours if they could get married in their backyard, and then never bothered to invite them either! Ultimate tack!

When my daughter got married, we didn't - wannie

invite everybody to the wedding that we invited to the shower. She had a very small wedding in a very small place with less than 50 people invited. Afterwards, she did have a reception that all her shower guests were invited to attend.

CNN - maybe just me but - Good manners

I thought if you invited people just to get a gift as in a shower, no way should they be left out of the wedding. Both of my children when they graduated from high school only had limited number of people they could invite due to seating restraints. If you could not be there, I did not send out an invite just to get them a gift. I thought that would be tacky of me. I had an invite to a cousin's wedding some years back and tossed in the garbage. This was a person I had grown up not seeing for years and years. I figured they were just trying to get a gift and I donĂ¢€™t play that way.

Did Anyone Have Wedding Disasters?Nov 05, 2009
My daughter is getting married in a week.  The wedding is not in our home state so she is flying out late Thursday night (tonight).  She picked up her dress on Tuesday night from the alterations, and they have ruined her dress.   Don't know how they did it but from the waist down the fabric hangs crooked so that a seam that used to be hidden in a fold now is total exposed and runs the full length of the skirt righ through the middle of the dress but on ang ...

Wedding QuestionAug 12, 2016
A good friend's granddaughter is getting married. I have been invited to the wedding with no plus 1, just me. I have to drive at least 7 hours to get there. My friend will be sitting at the family table. I will know no one else and will be sitting at a table where I know no one. Wouldn't it have been nicer to let me bring a plus 1, or is that the way things are these days? Just trying to figure out what to do here. P.S. I am single and have been for years. ...

Wedding RingMay 12, 2014
Question...  Does anyone have their rings practically permanently stuck on their finger?  My wedding rings have made a dent in my finger (19 years!).  They don't feel uncomfortable at all ,they spin around and I can smoosh them enough to keep em clean,  but I can't really take them off without a lot of soap, oil and a great deal of effort.  I'm worried that one day I won't be able to take them off and they'll require cutting.  ...

OPINIONS ABOUT WEDDING CAKEJun 30, 2010
My 25 DD is getting married next June.   She does not want to have a receiving line after the mass which is a Catholic ceromony because she said it is awkard.   So intead she would like to have a receving line at the reception where the guests line up and the bride and groom pass out the cake and then thank people for coming. I am totally against this but she said that is the way it is these days. She has only been to two weddings in her life.   I have not been ...

......did your mom go with you, or help you pick it out? If not your mom, did anyone else go with you? A friend, relative, co-worker, etc. Mine went with me, but sort of as an after-thought. I'd already picked out a hat (not a veil) and needed a dress to match the hat, so she went with me to find a dress. She soooo wanted me to wear a long wedding gown, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted a short white gauzy party dress. She made me try on a long gown, and I thought she wa ...

Obama - Wedding Ring, Etc.Apr 24, 2011
Wedding ring  is in for repairs? feel  free to pass this on! Another  piece falls into place. In a press conference last week Obama  was not wearing his wedding ring nor was he wearing his watch  When noticed, his staff said his ring was out for repairs.  No reason was given for the missing watch. So it's just  a coincidence that Muslims are forbidden from wearing jewelry  during the month of Ramadan Can't possibly be that, because  ...

Just a question as I am interesting in hearing the positives on both sides.  Without saying negatives about the side you don't support.  Can you give me a reason(s) why I should vote for Obama or why I should vote for Romney.  I don't want to hear negativity about the other candidate, already read enough.  And if possible don't try and make up things like Romney will try and convert everyone to Mormon or Obama will save the planet and covert everyone to muslim. ...

Talk About Saving Money On My Wedding...Oct 15, 2009
Well, yesterday we went downtown to get our license and our excitement got the best of us.  We ended up having the ceremony performed on the spot and walked out as husband and wife, lol!  Total cost was $79, as compared to the approximately $250 I had managed to shave it down to by having the wedding at our apartment. We've decided to use the October 31st date as our 'reception,' and instead of having the actual ceremony on that date, we're turning it into a cele ...

Can't Seem To Part With Mother's 65-year-old Wedding Dress...help...Aug 25, 2015
My sister was cleaning out her attic and found my mother's old wedding dress from 65+ years ago. She asked if I wanted it and I said I at least wanted to look at it. Well I took it, had my daughter try it on for a laugh, but now I don't know what to do with it. It is in bad shape. It's all wrinkled and the lace is crunchy, but the main fabric is a lovely heavy satin (although yellowed and stained). My mother hated it and I sent her a pic of it and she still hates it. She said she ...
