    People try way too hard to be cute, funny, and original. And I think it backfires more often than being a hit. My FSIL got an invitation and the RSVP card was worded like ___Hell yes, this shits going to be dope! And ____No, because I'm lame. Like really? Way to insult whoever can't make it to the wedding. There's a lot to be said about a classy wedding invite. And it can be totally unconventional and still classy. But as soon as you involve profanity and offending whoever isn't coming, it's just inappropriate and I'd side eye the ish out of it if I received one.

    [QUOTE]So I was at a friend's house today and her used-to-be BFF sent out magnet photo save-the-dates. Cute? Yes.  I'm *not 100%* sure these went out to a large portion of the guest list, including family. Now*I've heard old biddies saying they*  don't like STDs because they're more of a command than a request, and that sentiment is understandable (*they say "Save the date!!" not "Your presence is requested" sorta deal*). *I thought* This STD, was actually really rude. They had little chalkboard *(which are cute)* and it said "Save the date.... B*tches!" (*not cute) *So now your fridge is probably going to have the word b*tches on it* Really? Like seriously? You're calling Gramma one of your b*tches? hmmm. Is this taking things too far? Do any of you speak to family this way? I don't, and I was kind of offended by it. Thoughts? Comments? ETA: asterisk instead of "i"s ETA x2: to make my sentiment more clear - i kinda went off topic about some of the aspects - I added asterisk to denote what was edited .

    Well I am sure grandma wasn't sent that particular STD. Since STD's are not required, probably the people who went sent those were just the people the B & G knew have that kind of sense of humour and would "get" it and laugh. I would never send an STD like that, but I wouldn't be offended if I received one.

    >>And for the record, I've never met anyone who is inherently offended by STDs because they are more of an "order" than a "request".

    Well, in areas that follow the traditional etiquette, the STD is considered rude.

    A wedding invitation will be sent 6 WEEKS or so in advance of the event, and the people who get the wedding invitations can look 6 weeks ahead and see they are able to attend.

    The STD demands that people go six MONTHS ahead in their calendars and put this wedding in there, and then everything else that comes up has to be planned AROUND the wedding.  As though this wedding were the very most important thing in the history of earth.  That IS pretentious, and the older generation is put off by someone declaring that their wedding is the very most important thing to everyone on earth.
