yes, etiquette says you should not put "& guest" on an outer envelope. we didn't put & guest on any of our envelopes for the STDs. we have a limited number of single or just dating friends, and they either knew in advance they could bring a guest or called to pass it by me before they did the preliminary rsvp. the couple of people i was not sure would know it was ok to bring a guest, i followed up with via email or phone. since we have the preliminary rsvp, i will know who is coming that i need to address invitations to, so i will not need to put any & guests because each person had to rsvp with their name and their guests name. i think its perfectly acceptable to address things to a whole family if you want them to understand kids are invited.

girl.... if i were you, this is what i would do: i would feel the same as you (either would cry or be catty) so perhaps the best thing for you to do is just skip it. why put yourself through the stress of it?

i'm getting married there in aug too. everything was resolved a few months ago. what's your date and location for your reception?

we love the wii sports game, mario and sonic olympics (careful, you will be sore after playing this one!), and the carnival one everyone is talking about is called mario party. we love that too. my FI loves the tiger woods game, but now he's too good at it so he doesnt play it as much. actually he is on vacation this week and called me at work to tell me he was bored because he didnt want to play tiger because it wasnt fun anymore now that he is so good. haha.

wow. love it. that guy has some balls, but then, anybody screwing their fiance's best friend kinda deserves that. karma is a bitch!

mmm bummer. thats why i either dont give a number for that kind of stuff at all, or a bogus one if they "require" it they shouldnt be selling your info anyway

you need to put your cell number on the "do not call" list! https://www.donotcall.gov/ takes 2 seconds

big woot for ohio! kate, dont you totally sometimes crave B&D late at night?

michelle those look great. just a warning though, papersource is incredibly expensive to print through. also, to avoid cutting each and every card, they actually sell the correct size cards that fit perfectly into the petal envelopes, but you have to ask for them.

rebecca those are so cute, your nieces will love them!

i think it depends on the beach youll be using. did you see the thread about sol tamargo's blog from when she was on the beach and a wedding was going on? check this out. youll die laughing at the photos, but its a real possibility if youre not on a private beach, or at least a private section of one.

Unfortunately I puked on the bus in front of everyone- at least they chanted my name. haha omg hilarious. im peeing myself. those pics are great rach! and im dying that you chundered in front of everyone on the bus! people are going to be reminding you of that until youre in your 70s.

i think theres nothing wrong with doing paper. kellys were great like katrina said. i personally am doing plastic PVC totes, only because my FI's uncle owns a factory in mexico that makes all kinds and shapes of plastic bags, and he offered to donate them to us so we dont have to buy any. woot woot to that! to make them more wedding-y, i'm just gonna make welcome bag tags to hang off the handle like angela did.

have you tried asking them to move to a conference room?

welcome brandon, we love to have grooms around here!

hhmmm i responded to this thread earlier today, but my response is gone now....

dont worry she will be back in a couple weeks (if not sooner haha)! just sent her a PM and she will answer it when she returns.

I was telling someone yesterday that my work area is like a combination of The Office & Seinfeld... omg, gross christa. there was a partic. good rerun of the office on last night when michael lets dwight be in charge of picking the new benefits plan, and he decides to completely cut all benefits, then when people complain, he tells them to write their ailments on a slip of paper so he can determine what will or wont be covered. then when they submit a bunch of fake ones, he gets all pissed off. he draws a piece of paper out of the pot, and it says "anal fissures" and is like "ALRIGHT nobody here has anal fissures, this isnt funny" and the camera shoots to kevin looking embarassed and he says "well somebody does" FI and i were laughing so hard about it last night. his office is way worse than any ive ever seen, his boss is corrupt and embezzles money, etc etc. one time recently, he called jose into his office and SERIOUSLY asked "where is the @ symbol on the keyboard?" jose took that to mean that his boss never originates emails, he only replies to what other people send him first. wtf. what an IDIOT!

For me, what KILLS me, is I don't even really have to directly work with these people, we just happen to have cubes in the same space. So, there is really no reason for me to HAVE to tolerate any of their assinine shit. I think that makes it worse for me - zero vested interest in even caring. The guy that sits behind me is a heavy smoker, so I feel like I'm sitting in an ashtray all day. He REEKS enormously. And he has a serious phlegmy smokers hack...I feel like he's coughing all over me. I literally duck when he coughs. Oh yeah, he's about 99% deaf too - so I have to deal with that all day long. Stinky, deaf, oblivious fool. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

girl, you are crazy because you look GREAT in your dress, and so radiant. so what if you dont have pin-thin model arms? if you did, you'd look ill. your arms are perfectly normal size, in fact when i saw the photos you posted, i was like whaaaaaat i was expecting jiggly jello arms like on an 800 pound lady from the way you talked about it! relax, you really look beautiful in the dress, and your arms aint no thang girlfriend

the bitch who sits across from me acts like she thinks shes my boss, listens in on my phone calls and then critiques the way i speak to people (i.e. you shouldnt tell them XYZ, you should say ZYX instead kind of bullshit), gives me attitute for NO reason whatsoever and then the next day acts like we're BFF (eww), has anger management issues that she takes out on our part time staff (which then they all come crying to me about why is she such a bitch)..... i could go ON and ON and ON and ON...
