A cash bar maybe, but that still is considered a little tacky down here in the good ole south. I dont even think I've been to a wedding where the bartenders have tip jars out. I cant imagine expecting everyone I know to give me $300 so I can have the wedding of MY dreams. Its just wrong. I agree with you completely Whitney!! Hugs!

I c...okay so, I have to side with you on this one. I can totally see an "option" of giving cash, i.e. here is where we are registered...and you can also donate to our honeymoon fund, our savings account whatever, it gives guests a CHOICE! I totally get that people are waiwting until later to get married, but what's wrong with finding a furniture store or something and registering for that flat screen tv and people can come and make your downpayment but aren't obligated too. <br />My point I guess is that I find it tacky that someone would ask YOU to pay for their wedding, it's like that sex and the city episode where Carrie loses her shoes at her friends apartment where they insisted she take them off. Afterall, can you imagine if I invited Brian to Hattie and Maggie's birthday party and said no toys, clothes, whatever, just please give me cash of $100 or more because her birthday is in DisneyWorld and if you can make it great, if not cash is still accepted??<br />Either way, pretty tacky, tacky, tacky. If you can't afford your wedding then maybe you should rethink what you're doing, I think that's part of the reason the great USofA is in the economic state that we are in, i.e. I must have an iphone and the $30 extra a month it costs me but I can't afford my children's glasses....<br />just saying :)<br />Jessie BabyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009563355852368535.post-13665663547993408202010-01-04T12:40:15.732-05:002010-01-04T12:40:15.732-05:00I really never considered myself old fashioned but...I really never considered myself old fashioned but....I guess I must be (at least on some issues!!!) I am with you on this one Whit! I feel that people should have a wedding they can afford and the guests should not have to pay to go to the wedding...That is just crazy! I don't mind giving cash as a gift, but I would like a choice to either give cash or a gift!Tracy..noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009563355852368535.post-18263216653966578912010-01-04T11:21:14.087-05:002010-01-04T11:21:14.087-05:00Call me an okie, but I'm with you on this one ...Call me an okie, but I'm with you on this one whit! The purpose of registering is so you can select the items that you need. If you already have an established home (living together for some time) then don't register for a blender, register for what you need! I do love Brian dearly, but I can't side with him on this one (sorry Brian!) I do suppose it's difference of culture, but it was shocking to me none the less. You should have seen my face when I read this...my jaw literally hit the keyboard! I may live under a rock, but I had no idea that was the "norm" up yonder! Stand your ground girl. Oh and tell Brian that since he didn't get to come to our wedding, that I'm getting in the attic tonight to dig out an extra invitation to drop in the mail tomorrow. Checks made payable to "Mr. & Mrs. Scott Hofmann" please:)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06838987083849730456noreply@blogger.com
