tacky much....

eav2c

SO--my FI tells me today that his old roommate asked him for his address so he could be invited to his wedding. For starters, my FI doesn't like the guy... So, he said "well, I don't want to go but I want to see their invites!"... that made me laugh, as he somewhat reminded me of a groomzillia.

But onto what I think is the one of the tackiest things I have ever heard... So, my FI tells me that this guy and his FI created a FACEBOOK INVITATION to find out WHO wants an invite. SO, I had to log on to get a look at this... The facebook info. says "This group means you are invited to our wedding... message ____ or ____ with your address if you want an invitation"...

We aren't always great on our ettiquite--but, it just seems strange to me. Apparently, it's also a way to "figure out who will and won't be coming"... What happened to RSVP cards? They are expecting people to RSVP through facebook! Woah, I feel like tacky just got new meaning.

Really--I hate to comment on other people... But, I cannot believe this...  Luckily for them, most their invitees are young, non-equitte savvy college students... BUT STILL!

It's honestly not that funny and you sound pretty stuck up.

OK, totally see how it sounds "stuck up"... But, no intentions whatsoever. I think it's funny because--the woman does wedding planning as a career. I just thought--it was tacky. Maybe I'm wrong? If so, my sincere apologies. But, I just always thought it was tacky to post that stuff on facebook... And for someone who is in the buisness, I would have thought they would do things differently. I really didn't mean to offend you... Maybe it's not <em>that </em>funny, but, I still think it's the tackiest wedding fo-pa I've heard, IMO.

Definitely not the tackiest ever - look at the post above yours and you'll see there are much worse. I don't know, I just don't think it's that bad.

Oh interesting that you changed the title of this post from "Cant stop laughing... Tacky at it's BEST!" to the more mellow "tacky much." Anyway, I'm off to bed. Good night.

Well, I realized that it probably came off as offensive. I really have no intentions to upset anyone. Lesson learned, keep my mouth shut next time :)

Nothing young people do concerning facebook surprises me anymore.   Group invitiations?  Sure.  Why not.   WHY NOT, FACEBOOK.

Thanks for the huge generalization.

sarah0725

Equitte sounds like a word that should involve horses somehow. Like the rules you should follow when you attend a horse wedding? I dunno. Maybe I look at too much Latin.

faux pas?

i think jennd88's naked-except-for-a-crinoline sig pic is tackier, but that's just me.

JennD88

Well it would be tacky, except for the fact that I was wearing a dress.

I mean I think it's pretty tacky and funny.  But fo-pa is not forgivable.

brookelynpaisley

snort at fo-pa.

mandybear7

Is it bad that I don't think this is that tacky? They need addresses, so they messaged people on facebook. I think you understood the wording "send your address if you want an invitation" the wrong way- it is kind of a joke... if you don't send them your address, then they won't be able to mail the invite. Once they have the addresses, they will mail the invite with the RSVP cards.

*snort* now I can never look at that sig pic the same way again

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I messaged people individually on FB, asking for a few addresses. Is that tacky? Hmm. If it helps, I didn't tell them what I wanted them for, but they probably figured it out.

tlv204

I dont' think asking for addresses is tacky at all, I did it too, but if they're actually RSVPing on facebook that's something else if you ask me.

beatlesgirl25

Asking for addresses on FB is okay on an individual basis, and is the same as regular email as far as I'm concerned. But making people "RSVP" for an invitation is just a different kind of weird. And way more work than I'd want to put into going to someone's wedding. Why not just send them out and then wait for RSVP's? Is it a money-saving tactic on paper or what?

1. "fo-pa" sounds like a trouble weight-loss area.

2. Catty Self-Righteous judgement is tackier than reaching out on Facebook for addresses.

Buahahahah!! That's a tactful way to put it

luckyme502

I asked people for addresses by messaging them on facebook.  I did it so I could send the STD and pretty soon, the invite.  I don't think it's tacky. 

mizri

A couple days ago, one of my aunt's messaged me on FB to get my address because the STD for my cousin's wedding was returned.  (I've recently moved)  Was she tacky for that?  Was that a faux-pas?

And fo-pa makes me think of FUPA....  Totally not related, but still kinda funny.

Really?? So, since I'm young apparently I'm non-etiquette savvy? I can't remember the last time I needed any of my friends' mailing addresses, I definitely plan on asking for addresses via FB. The tackiest thing in this post is your attitude.
