YOU'RE NOT INVITED!

[NightOwl]

An uninvited card is rude and tacky as is asking for donations for the honeymoon. If you can't afford it, don't go. I also hate the notion of giving a gift that costs as much as your meal or the cash equivalent. What if I can't afford $200? If a person wants to have an expensive wedding, that's their choice. A guest should be able to give what they can afford and are comfortable with. Personally I think weddings are off the chain these days. People spend so much money on the wedding trying to keep up with the celebrities. Instead of having a $50k wedding, why not put that money down on a house?

Well said ramsey! it is such bad manners to even put your name on one of these registries I don't like and refuse to participate in the racket, one girl I heard about has a Kitchenaid Professional $500 Mixer, a Waterford Crystal Decanter at $200 on her list of wants. What Honeymoon? how can you call it a Honeymoon when you've only shacked up for the last 5 years.

I wish they'd roll it back to a more sensible time and keep it quaint.
