Etiquette going mainstream- CNN/Real Simple's take

APDSS22

After reading that I noticed a link to this one on the sidebar: http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/01/living/matrimony-etiquette-to-toss/index.html?iid=article_sidebar  Why is it people think etiquette and tradition are the same thing?  Scroll to the end to see this gem: "Skipping the store, asking for cash".  WHY?!?!?!?!  It's not going to "take awhile" for honeyfund and gofundme to make it into etiquette books.  The only place they have in etiquette books is under "Do NOT Do These Things Under Any Circumstances:"

I can't believe no one mentioned this one: 

Am I obligated to invite a guest's date to the rehearsaldinner?

Because the rehearsal dinner is traditionally a close-knit event for wedding participants and family, it is not necessary to extend an invitation to an attendee's wedding guest.

NO! If you invite someone to the wedding with a guest, you must extend that to the rehearsal dinner too.

How much should I tip my wedding vendors?

You do not have to tip vendors with whom you have a contract. Depending on service and relationship, a small gift or a cash tip is at your discretion. You should, however, distribute tips to non-contracted staff like musicians and servers.


What do y'all think about this one? My mom views it this exact way.

I agree it depends on the contract. For our venue, gratuity was included, which also included servers. We didn't have musicians. 

We did tip our DJ, officiant, and will tip our photographer when we get our photos.
