Confess: what things do you see E tell people not to do that you think are maybe not that bad? Or that you wouldn't judge someone harshly for if you saw it at their wedding?

    [QUOTE]I think it's really funny that the Unforgivable Etiquette Sins are almost exactly the same as the Forgivable Etiquette Sins. Makes everything we say here seem like mostly personal opinion, eh?

    No, the person's opinion is what is forgiveable and unforgiveable. People can choose to do whatever they want and to follow or not follow etiquette, and then face the guests' responses.

    I don't mind cash bars, as long as I know before hand. I always assumed cash bars were okay until I came to TK. I've never been to a wedding where I didn't have to pay for a drink.

    Matching BM are totally fine with me too, in terms of dresses. I think, as long as they can have their own personal style elsewhere (shoes, jewelry, etc) it's fine. I wouldn't want to see all of the BM with the same hairstyle, jewelry, shoes, nails, etc. That's just weird.

    HM Registries. FI wanted one, so we have one, but we have a pretty big regular registry as well. **We CAN afford a HM, FI just thought it'd be a nice alternative.**

    I've never been to a wedding with open seating so I'm not sure how that would go.

    Buffets are cool with me, though I'm not sure if that's an "etiquette" thing.

    partial cash bars
    dry weddings
    honeymoon registries
    gaps (within reason -- an hour is okay, five is not <-- yes, I was invited to a wedding with a 5.5 hour gap, not cool)

    I've said this a number of times before but for me, as long as the person is trying to be a gracious host I an excuse just about anything.  As long as they are making it clear they are glad I'm there (or came...in a TY note) then I am happy.  I know that most people make a few faux pas here and there so I don't get flipped out about it.
