    You would think it would be with a hard g because it stands for the word graphics, but alas...

    I want to be famous!  I'll have to see if I can find that copy of TK magazine.

    I thought getting your flag cherry popped made you a reg, but I guess now there is a new "badge" to earn.  ;)  You all should really get a badge though.  At least 1000 extra points towards that rainbow farting unicorn for getting quoted 

    ETA - spelling

    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    Page 336 from The Knot Boston:

    From Sourgirl910: "To cut down the guest list to a wedding that we want and can afford, my fiancé and I aren't inviting certain family members. Should I send a letter of apology and explain why we can't invite them or do I just let the chips fall where they may?"

     

    Liatris2010: The only people you have to invite are the significant others of those invited. You can limit it to immediate family and close friends, but you should not inform the rest of your family and friends that they won't be invited. If any of those people ask, you can tell them you're keeping the wedding very small.

    AddieL73: Just don't invite them. Don't send a letter of explanation. The fact that they're not part of your daily lives explains itself.

    SimplyFated: I don't understand why this is becoming a trend. Who would want to receive a letter like this, let alone be the sender of one? Do people really think their wedding is the wedding of the century and therefor people need to be let down gently for not being invited?

    StageManager14: You never tell someone why they aren't invited to something. If they specifically ask about it, they are the rude ones, but then you can say some thing, "Due to budget constraints, we weren't able to invite everyone we would have liked to" and leave it at that.

     

    Other screennames included: RachelBFMD, sydaries, and Gabrielle76

    Shit. That's awesome. What did they quote from me?


    I'm sorry for bot including yours. The Rajah vs. Rachel must have thrown me off though the BFMD did look familiar

    I learned a few months ago that it's pronounced "jif".  I'm still not pleased, and refuse to refer to it as such.  Hard "g" sound all the way!!

    Yeah, pronouncing it as "jif" makes me think of peanut butter and then I get hungry. So it's "gif" with the hard g for me.
