if i ever get married, my best man is wearing the kool aid costume!!




and no alcohol?? traders joes - case of 2 buck chuck 24 bucks...everybody's happy

if you do get hitched i SO need an invitation!

and no kidding, 2 buck chuck is good. there are few things worse than attending a bad wedding, i went to one that was SO boring and staid and the food sucked even though i know they paid a TON of money for it. booooooooooo

oh HELL no. i would have filled out a card thanking them for being such bitches and left it for 'em. but that's just me

seriously though, how much of a lazy punk ass twit do you have to be ??

and don't EVEN get me started on there being no booze? so they're cheap on top of all that? what did they toast with? kool-aid? was this the best man?

well, it was only the bridal shower, not the wedding...i cannot even imagine a dry wedding. :shock:
and you didn't fill out your card, just addressed the envelope....but yes, glad to know i am not alone in feeling it's uber tacky, just too lazy.


and norm, sad to say, our trader joe's are not allowed to sell their cheap wine in our stores, no liquor allowed. tho this was in jersey, so idk if they have the same liquor laws as NY, but whatever. i agree with whoever said about letting me know no alcohol and could byob. bridal showers are tough enough, but sans alcohol? :wtf: haha.

just curious what people may think.


went to my nephew's fiancee's bridal shower yesterday. firstly, no alcohol of any form was served :shock: ....that was new to me, and yea, not so fun. haha. bridal showers are tough enough to attend, but cold-stone sober, yikes. however, my query is about this:

there was a basket set up with envelopes and thank you cards in it. that's right, the actual thank you cards i assume that will be sent to all guests to thank them for their gifts, and each guest was meant to address their own envelope for their thank you card. :? :shock: :roll:

i'm sorry, i am all for efficiency and saving time, but cmon.....someone bought you a gift, i think you can manage to write out your own thank you card and address the envelope! hell, you can type up labels on your computer, hopefully have a master list of guests, do a mail merge, whatever. it's not like i expect a hand-written envelope, but to ask your guests to fill it out themselves, yea....utterly tacky in my book. me, my sis and my mom didn't do it.

Tacky is putting it mildly! :shock:

oh sorry, i misread thinking it was the wedding! my reading skills are shit on here lately, drive by speed reading

even still, yeah, very tacky! and if the bridal shower is that remedial, god knows what the wedding will be like lol

Believe it or not I have never been to a bridal shower that served alcohol. I live in the Bible Belt. Bridal showers might be fun if alcohol was served. Or at least it would ease the pain.

I CANNOT BELIEVE that you were asked to address your own thank you card! Ha! I guess it could have been worse. You could have been asked to write the note on the inside.

The card thing is tacky, but I'm not sure I've ever heard of a bridal shower around these parts serving alcohol. They're usually early in the day, aren't they? I guess if it were held in the evening I could see it.

Ugh - tell me about it. Much of my mom's side of the family is in AA, so I was sober for both of my weddings.
In fact, the first wedding was completely dry, 'cause it was held at a state park, so no alcy was allowed anyway. It was waaaaay too quiet!

Back to topic: Having you address your own envelope is laughable. Seriously tacky. And - this is a new thing set on becoming a trend??? :roll:

Well, I hope I'm up for a job against this generation when they decide to ask their interviewers to fill out the return envelope of their thank you card for them.

More offensive than tacky.

i been to several showers where i had to address the envelope myself.
i was at a BABY shower this past saturday and there was PLENTY of alcohol flowing.
