Wedding Etiquette Question

Originally posted by Mordac View PostI try to avoid "middle-aged" stag do's these days. Some want to go clubbing (I'm too old), Spearmint Rhino is pointless now we have the internet, and the idea of a golf weekend on the Algarve fills me with a deep sense of gloom. Frankly, I'd rather have some typhoid.
So if it's none of those, count me in. Do I need to bring a copy of my infraction or do you keep them on file?
The first step will be covering him head to foot with gel wrappers. Then the real fun starts.....Comment

Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostExtending on from my original query, do I just include the cheque (if not cash) inside the card, or should this be put into another envelope and/or with a gift message inside the card ?Originally posted by ladymuck View PostIn answer to the OP. I would consider how much I would genuinely spend on a gift and just pop the cash in a card. You don't have to reference the cash in the card, keep that to generic "congratulations on your big day, sorry I can't be there"
There was something in the news recently where a couple were charging £150 for people to attend their weddingComment

Not seen that before - donations to pay for their "holiday" sod that.
Then again I dont agree with that idea that you bring people something back from holiday. Total crap. Mrs family are well into it. As you know we got to florida a lot and some of her family actually say "can you get me that?". No offer of payment they expect it as a present.
They're a bit of a jealous lot mind. I reckon part of their idea is "well you're lucky to be going on holiday so least you can do is buy me something".Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

You'd think it would be preferable to the hassle buying something but it causes so much angst.
We lived together but still needed loads of stuff cos we were skint (21 years ago). Don't people use wedding lists these days?Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
