So I wanted to post this because it really flabbergasted me. Don't know if this girl at work doesn't know etiquette or has no class, or even both!
As I walked into work today I saw a girl who I am friendly with on the elevator. I say friendly because this is a girl who I once was friends with but got mad at me because of some work issues with the boss and so she rarely talks to me now. Anyways we were talking about how wedding plans were going, we are getting married within a month of each other, when she says "So now that your invites are out have you gotten a bunch of gifts?" Needless to say I was flabbergasted and literally just stood there for a second trying to figure out what to say. When I did answer I just said that we weren't expecting a bunch of gifts because we are having a DW and we understand that people are paying a bunch to travel and be with us that weekend.
It might have been one thing if she had been my best friend saying this, but really for someone who you barely speak with to ask such a question. When I got to my desk I was thinking if I get her a wedding gift I'd send her Emily Post's book on etiquette.
Anyways hope all you etiquette girls had a good laugh because I sure did after the fact.
