    [QUOTE]Woah, holy overreaction Batman. I'm pretty sure everyone knows I have no qualms about pointing out others faux pas. Even in real life. Your post was very long Bonnie and that can lead to some confusion and possible misinterpretation. No one was trying to be mean or hurtful towards you. They were just trying to better understand what you meant. I know that socials are accepted in your area but that doesn't mean that it's not against etiquette. It's just a fact of life.

    LOL love the craziness. W're all so nice a little drama is fun once in a while.

    Having parties that raise money for the wedding is very common in my circles as well. Many people asked when ours would be and good friends of ours asked if we wanted to do a joint one with them. FI and I think they are so tacky and rude. So even though, it's socially accepted in my circles, it's bad etiquette and we arn't doing it.

    Ditto here. Where FI is from they are normal but we chose not to have one. Nobody MAKES you go against etiquette.

  • How did she really think people would respond to that post? 

    Also what did I miss, Someone was stalking her wedding????

  • I haven't posted much here recently, but I must say that drama seemed to "follow" sweet canadian.  And by "follow", I mean that she seems to generate drama around here.  Am I mistaken, but isn't she the same one with bridesmaid drama (kicking one out, if I remember correctly), had a "stalker", had drama with her social, and now this?  I think it's kind of rich of her to point out other people's etiquette mistakes.

    I never joined the facbook group, but I'm interested in what she said over there.

  • I personally don't think this board is "full of etiquette faux pas" but I do think it's handled much better than the E-board which I think most people relate to. It's the hair pulling out, OMG can't believe you did that, repent now for your socially inappropriate sins or die type of drama that goes on over there.

    Personally dear, if you don't like what someone is doing, then don't participate. I have never been to a J&J shower and will be to my first soon, and although I'm not in love with the concept, if I hated the idea, I simply wouldn't go.

    You cannot go around to the world dictating what you want to see. It's very unrealistic; what you can do, is come here and talk about it civilly instead of launch into a full attack about what's wrong with the world. I'm very sorry your friend is making you crazy, but if you don't want to participate that's fine as well.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Etiquette? A bit of a rant, long. : Your post was confusing. No one was trying to make you feel bad.... your post just came across offensive, just like your post a few months ago saying you were leaving the board because everyone is snarky.... IMHO, you are very opinated with everyone elses posts, but if anyone disagrees with you, you take it personally and *leave*
    Posted by chelseakopperud[/QUOTE]

    <div>I have to agree with this. A few months ago, I misspelled (typo) and you were the one to point it out as if I was stupid for making a typo. I don't think you where a bad person, I chucked it up and kept it moving. The way i saw it was you don't know me and I don't know you. This is a board of women from all over, everyone has their own lives along with family, personality and perspectives. It is find if we don't all do things the same way or we dont agree on how something should be done. Your wedding is not our wedding.</div>

    Ok, I came to this late after a LONG day at work and am just now getting through it. 

    Bonnie, if you still read this I have to agree with everyone.  Your OP was a little confusing and came off as being offensive. 

    Personally, I feel like we (the board) do a great job of having various opinions on things and even if opinions do not agree things are cool and we move on (with maybe a few hiccups every now and then).  That's what being an adult and communicating is all about.  Yes, humans do mostly communicate nonverbally which is why a setting such as a message board can become a crazy zone for people just from how they read things.  Add in the fact that we are women and have various levels of estrogen, this place can get crazy!

  • I don't post very often I'm just a drifter but WOW this some serious stuff! In this day in age I really didn't think people would be so serious about etiquette because I wasn't taught anything about etiquette when I was growing up nor did I get the opportunity to take a etiquette course with Miss Manners! I sit with bad posture, eat cookies in bed, leave my mail in the mailbox for several days so etiquette isn't my middle name actually my name is Nicole!! I even went to the etiquette board and read some stuff over there! Man I've been missing out. I read these posts and I was like I needed some popcorn and a soda. This has been very entertaining ladies. 
  • This board is nothing on the snarky scale compared to E or SB.  Canadian, I think you are overreacting HARDCORE.  Nobody offended you and nobody was being rude to you.  They were just trying to clarify a rather offensive sounding OP.
  • I'm etiquette-challenged lol... so, PLEASE, PLEASE let me know if anything I say on these boards seems odd. I grew up in Europe and have lived in the United states for only 3 years. And while there are things that overlap, cultures differ a lot.
    a simple and non wedding related example - when I just moved here, I would sometimes visit my friends house. They would open the door for me, I would go in and just stand there. They'd leave the room to do whatever they were doing before and I'd still be standing there. Until someone would come back in 5-10 minutes wondering what happened to me. See, in my culture, you don't take your clothes/shoes off until you are asked/offered to do so. same goes for entering rooms, if I'm not asked to enter, I won't just because it is unnatural. where I'm from we tend to be overly careful about not overstepping other people's boundries, especially in their home. oh, and then I wouldn't sit down until I was offered to do so either lol. this got me in more than a few awkward situations until I understood that that is not what is accepted as the norm here.
    so, seriously, if anything I'm talking about in future posts seems off, just tell me. I'll be glad!

  • @precamies - when I first moved to the US, it was very weird for me because where I'm from I have to be invited in and offered to have shoes/coat/hat taken as well before we proceed. That was a big change for me too.

    It's a culture thing and I promise to preserve your sanity - stay away from the bloody E-board!

    [QUOTE]I think it's weird to judge other people's breaches of etiquette when you had a social.  Once you start making exceptions there is a slippery slope.  Why is one exception made and another not?  I'm not an etiquette queen or anything it just seems hypocritical.
