My mom and BFF hosted my shower no one cared. [/quote]

They have manners and just didn’t tell you. [/quote]

I think there are a handful of posters on DCUM who claim to be from "old Southern money" [b]and who "do things properly, etiquette wise"[/b] without any nod to the irony that if they're really old Southern money that means they are the descendants of plantation owners with hundreds of real live slaves and if they think that makes them somehow the experts on what's acceptable and what's not, well, then that's just hilarious.

Everyone knows bridal showers and baby showers are events that are literally intended to give presents to the bride / mom.  Yes, some people have their mom's best friend "host" it at their house while their mom is really the one planning it and footing the bill, but come on.  It's SO OLD FASHIONED.  Anyone under 65 who cares about this is the sort of person who joins the DAR and the Junior League of their city. [/quote]

My grandmother was part of peak DC society and an absolute master of etiquette. One of her codes of conduct was that you never, EVER comment negatively on anyone’s behavior. The whole point of etiquette is to show respect and make people feel comfortable. Any sort of snark or gossip is a far worse breach of etiquette. If she were invited to a shower hosted by a family member, she would have shown graciousness, gratitude for being included, and happily purchased a gift off a registry.

The people who feel the need to comment on others’ etiquette and tackiness don’t truly understand what etiquette is. They think that they are part of the elite, but they’re not. [/quote]

No sh!t Sherlock. I don’t think anyone needs you to tell them that telling someone that they’re a tacky old bag when they get an invite isn’t polite. This is an anonymous forum. Use your noggin.[/quote]

YES. Was hoping this would get a classic snarky DCUM response. Keep on trolling 😉 [/quote]

YES when you post clap trap about how very well bred you are and your granny's impeccable manners and your pedigree to set us all straight, someone is going to tell you to GTFO yourself. So weird how that works. Baby showers haven't even been a thing that long. Doubt your oh so classy granny had one. People with actual breeding do not usually.[/quote]

Keep it coming babe :) Watching the crazies is the main reason most of us are even on DCUM. [/quote]
