Ok, my pondering brain was thinking about something today. I never really knew about wedding etiquette until I found these awesome boards so I never thought much about this:
A few years ago, my cousin got engaged. She called me and asked me to be a bridesmaid. So, I then get a TEXT from her a few weeks later saying she doesn't "need" me because one of the groomsmen broke his leg and wouldn't be in the wedding and she didn't want un-even sides. Um, ok. I was kind of ticked at the time because now she had her other female cousin in the wedding, and two "friends" whom she doesn'e even speak to anymore. In fact, one of the BM's never showed up for the rehearsal! And she came to the bridal shower and stayed for like 10 minutes and left. Anyways, so now I realize that this was a wedding no-no for my cousin to do to me. I remember being pretty upset about it but I figured she was family and I had to just grin and bear it no matter what.
So, I asked this same cousin of mine about wedding invitations the other day. I told her we weren't putting registry cards in the invitations because it's tacky and we don't want people to think we are gift grabby. She was like, "Um what? You HAVE to put them in there... nobody will know where you are registered and you won't get any presents!" I could care less about presents. But I remember her being SOOO excited about getting presents for her wedding. And she NEVER SENT OUT THANK YOU CARDS! She said she didn't feel like they were necessary.
Ok, I am done venting. I know, I know... this happened forever ago and honestly I don't care, but just looking back (and knowing what I know now) I think it's crazy! Moral of the story: I am SO glad I found my knotties so I know what to do and what NOT to do!
That, and I am bored because I am jobless... so you all get to read my completely pointless post
