[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know it even used to be considered tacky to enclose RSVP cards and envelopes? It implied that you thought the invited person was such a yokel that she wouldn't know to reply or have her own stationery. Now it's considered helpful. I believe the notes about registries and gifts are now considered "helpful." That doesn't mean you have to follow it, or consider it tasteful.

Times change. I think the days are gone when everyone you knew followed the same rules and knew the standard places couples registered.

When I go to a wedding, if money is the gift they prefer, money is what I give them. I know in a lot of cultures it's the polite custom. Who am I to say my culture is superior?

Just don't get me started on people who have big all-out weddings when it's not their first marriage. Now that's tacky.[/quote]

Please pardon my shouting, but IT IS STILL IS TACKY TO MENTION REGISTRIES ON A WEDDING INVITE. Whether on the invitation itself or a separate little card, you're asking for loot. And it's not helpful. If guests wish to buy you something from your registry, they'll ask you. No one should be getting married for the gifts.[/quote]
