Rude post

The knotties on the E board are exactly the people who WOULDN'T say anything to the bride and groom at the wedding.

What exactly is B-Listing? Staggering invites so that if someone from the A list declines, you can invite from the B List?

That's about as bad as this new trend I am hearing about where couples send out what looks to be a wedding invitation, but when you open the envelope the card actually says "We are getting married, but sorry we couldb't invite you. P.S. here is our registry info." I'm not making this up, several of my friends have gotten them.

And apparently every wedding I have been to and been a BM for the past 15 years were pulling a no-no because the WP was seated at a head table, and not with their SO's. . . who knew!

I think the funniest thing about this post is that most of the people who are looking for advice as to whether or not something is rude are the people who KNOW it's rude but are hoping for someone (anyone) to say "no no it's okay, it's YOUR day!"

Yeah, that doesn't happen often here.

This board is here to help those of us who don't know all the unspoken rules. Come here and the unspoken rules get spoken - sometimes a little more bluntly than you'd prefer, but I'd rather have someone say "Oh HELL NO!" on the internets than to my face...

I definately think it's rude to seat your bridal party away from there SO's. I'm in a friends wedding and learned she is planning to do that to me. I didn't say anything to her but really I don't understand and definately don't agree. Makes me wish I was just a guest so I could sit with my FI who will be my husband at the time of her wedding. She's a good friend so I'll deal with it, but don't like it at all. And I'll probably eat quickly not enjoying my meal as much so I can go see him. I decided it was rude before coming on the knot but it was nice to see that others who know a lot about etiquette agree.

Along with that my FI's parents tried to get me to exclude SO's from a head table as well. I wasn't even sure if I wanted a head table and I strongly told them no if I did have a head table, SO's would be included. They seemed to think that was ridiculous but got over it eventually. I really don't understand why you would force someone to sit away from their SO anyway.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re:Rude post: I think it's also a problem when someone declines an invitation because they can't afford a 'nice enough' gift. The bride and groom hopefully invited you because they wanted you there, not because they thought you should pay for your plate.

<div>I haven't even sent out invites yet, and I already had a friend say, "I'm not coming to your wedding because I can't afford to buy you a gift." I understand, and of course I told him that we'd love to have him there and he doesn't need to buy us anything, but it sucks that people feel this way :-(</div>

But you don't even spend time talking with the bride and groom if you sit with them... you just eat dinner there

[QUOTE]I find this board helpful/educational as well. I did not know so many people were so against the "cover your plate" rule. My grandmother uses that rule, so does my mother. I thought it was the norm. <strong>These ladies are helpful for those of us who are not up to date on our etiquette.</strong>
