It seems like they spend more time preparing to get married than the lenght of the marriage itslef.

I'm not even sure he counts as a prop. it's more like set dressing.

Okay, I can confirm a few things:

1. Jit's cousin is really pretty
2. Her husband-to-be is a prop
3. The save the date card looks like the cover of a somewhat sinister Harlequin romance novel

To add to the hilarity, she's a bodybuilder.

It's my cousin. I doubt she goes here, but I'll send it to you in a PM.

Awesome!! It just sounds hilarious. Almost as good as baby-in-a-bag.

My cousin still sent me an invite to hers although I was moving away. It was out of courtesy. Just send a check and a card saying you wish you could've attended and shut the fuck up about it.

speaking of wedding invitations. I got a save the date magnet a few weeks ago, and it's a giant fucking magnet with the bride's over made up whoreish face taking up the entire thing, and her fiance off to the side covered in shadows. Apparently, she's not proud of him. Why would I want to put this giant monstrosity on my fridge?

Just say you can't go. There is no reason to stress about the gift. If it is someone you haven't seen or talked to in a long time. However if you want to be nice you could do it. I sent a babygift to a first cousin of mine when she had her first. I haven't seen them in a long time, but wanted to congratulate her. I was very disappointed when I never heard anything else about the baby. Only through other family members. I was at least hoping for a picture.

Miss Manners says all you need do is first respond to the RSVP by letting them know you can't attend. Then, all you should do is send a nice card afterward to congratulate them. You are never required to give a gift. And if they complain later that you are a cheap bastard for not sending a gift or check, you can sit on your throne of self-righteousness knowing they are gauche.

Supergup-I just got an email with two more drop outs. Do I have to actually show up for this thing? It's not fun anymore.

If anyone wants to come to a wedding,. we seem to have some empty seats. We're obligated to pay for a certain amount, and now it looks like we won't hit that mark. Stupidly, we tried to keep it small, and now it looks like we're getting our wish. I'm talking really good food, and the best damn cake you've ever eaten. Win/win.

I hear ya, Mmmadcow! Death to the non-RSVPers! But just wait until your daughter starts getting calls a day or two before the wedding, greatest hits such as:

"Even though I said I couldn't come, I can make it now, add me in"
"I can't get a babysitter, sorry, I can't make it"

Now, these might cancel each other out, until you get:

"Do you mind if I bring my neighbor/friend/girlfriend/8 kids?"

And then...

As a mother of a bride getting married next month, please send back the rsvp. You have no idea what a headache it is when people don't respond. I don't care of you're coming, but if you show up at the reception expecting dinner, it would be nice to get a heads up.

And a print out of where the happy couple is registered? That's so wrong. I'm fielding phone calls for that shit. People call and ask where they're registered. You never add it to the invitations....

What amuses me is that often the same people that complain about getting a wedding inivitation are the same people to complain if they didn't get one, especially they didn't plan to go in the first place.

Look at it as an announcement. Some people like to keep those things as momentos.

Just check NO and send it back. Send a card if you care. Or don't.

As far as I'm concerned if you can't/aren't going, then no gift.. unless it's someone you are particular close to and want to.

So presumably my aunt & uncle sent me this wedding invitation for their daughter, who is a cousin I have not spoken to in a decade.

I've had a trip planned for the last six months, and it is well known through various channels that I will NOT be around during the month of August. The wedding as you may have guessed, is in August.

So inside the envelope is another envelope where apparently I am supposed to check off a form stating whether or not I will be...
