[quote=Anonymous]I’m neutral on several of these: don’t care about +1s unless it’s something egregious like only one half of a married couple is invited; neutral on kids v. no kids (strongly preferred kids for my own wedding, but don’t care what others do).

I think destinations are kinda silly, but I’ll happily go if I have the budget/time off.

I’d prefer a dry wedding to a cash bar. I don’t care if you serve alcohol or not - in fact, I’ve been to some really, really fun dry weddings - but I do think it’s tacky to charge for anything at the wedding.

I’m ambivalent about the cash thing. I agree that mention of registries or anything else related to presents should never be included with an invitation. At the same time, I want to get the couple something they will appreciate. If I know they come from a culture where giving cash is the norm, I do that. Or if I inquire with the bride’s mother about a registry and am given preferences, that’s great. But somehow being told “just give us money” on an invitation or wedding website seems squicky to me somehow, in ways I can’t define or necessarily defend.[/quote]
