Avoid Overspending!
Your
wedding may be the most important event in your life, but please remember that
you are marrying a person, not an event. You may be able to get everything
looking perfect, but at what price? It may cost you the equivalent of the down
payment on a house. A year's worth of investing. Or, perhaps your relationships
with friends and family.
Enjoy
the day! Live and lighten up. It is the love you feel and share, not the money
spent that is important.
How to invite guests to the wedding and not the reception?
Dear
Polite One,
Our
venue for the reception will only hold 120 people. My guest list exceeds
this greatly. Is there a proper way to invite some people to the wedding
but not the reception, and if so, how do you do that without offending
anyone?
Bride
Dear
Bride,
I’m
sorry, but all wedding guests are invited to the entire reception because the
wedding is a gift-giving event. To invite some and not all is
classifying some as not good enough to entertain. It is best to scale
down your guest list or choose a new venue.
Sincerely,
The
Polite One
The One Rule Brides Should Follow
Dear
Polite One,
As
an experienced etiquette specialist is there one rule that a bride should
never break?
Inquiring
Mind
Dear
Inquiring Mind,
Couples
should never forget that they are hosts and their guests should be
treated as honored guests. Why invite guests to just treat them as
if they should feel privileged to be there? This is not logical or
polite.
Sincerely,
The
Polite One
