[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you knocking the "dollar dance" at weddings, it is very much a cultural thing.  Know your audience.

In DC, that means know that everyone will be offended by everything you do or don't do, if it doesn't comply with their very own standards and/or the latest edition of Miss Manners or Emily Post.  And if their standards exceed those of MM/EP, you will offend by not meeting their standards (see, e.g., imaginary requirement that thank you cards be sent to gift givers who were thanked in person).[/quote]

Did you put where you were registered on your wedding invite too?????[/quote]

Engraved wedding invitations on a lovely, thick ecru paper, ordered from fancy schmancy store, formal in every way, no registry information at all.  I followed all possible elevated, annoyed, pretentious, irritating and holier-than-thou requirements of etiquette to ensure I didn't offend any of the persons who were invited to our wedding (quite a mixed crowd).  That said, I am smart enough to recognize that certain standards of etiquette - that which is deemed proper or improper - are very much cultural and/or regional, and what would offend one group (snotballs on DCUM) would not offend another (vast swaths of the rest of our nation).  But go ahead and find yourself superior, if it makes you feel better.[/quote]
