    Don't feel bad- I just took it and also got 7 out of 10. Who knew who's supposed to arrange transportation? Sheesh!

    The 'Thank You' one got me, too.  I can't ever manage to send out a handful of Christmas gift 'Thank You's' within 2 weeks.  There's no way the wedding ones are going out that quickly.

    Yeah, I just got a 7 out of 10 also.  The two weeks on the thank you notes is ridiculous, especially if you go on your honeymoon right after the wedding.

    8/10 -- 2 weeks for thank yous is ridiculous, considering that many people JUST get back from their honeymoons two weeks later.  And I said 8-10 weeks for the invitations.

    I hate Martha Stewart and I would love for her to come and write out my 200 something thank you cards in two weeks.  She is NOT a nice person.

    I completely agree.  For some odd reason if I could pick one human to kill (which I am of course never planning on doing), it would be her.

    I got a 9/10.  The Thank yous question got me too.  Well, I'm already a month out from our wedding and only have a fraction complete.  I'm a horrible person.

    I do love Martha though...jail time or not.  Her TV show stinks, but I love her Living magazine.

    I agree that her products are nice and decorating tips I would take into consideration. I don't necessarily see her as the Queen of Etiquette though.

    I get that she isn't always known to be perfectly nice, but I'd bet she sends her thank yous out in two weeks and has the proper person hosting events and such.

    Yes! That's exactly what FI did as well. I was not allowed to register for anything that supported Marth Stewart. I kept picking things up that were hers though- so I guess that is saying something!

    I think the proper etiquette for thank you notes is two weeks after you've returned from your honeymoon.

    I think.

    The groom is supposed to make the travel arrangements? Why specifically the groom? Why not the groom and the bride? What awkward etiquette!

    i only got 5 right.... that test is crap! 
    2 weeks for thank you's is ridiculous.  6 weeks for invites is too short.  in my family the MOB hosts the shower w/ the BMs helping.  oh well!

    7 out of 10 here. Sorry guests. No thank you coming in 2 weeks. Probably not even two months. I am a big procrastinator:-(
