More Etiquette Questions! (I love this stuff)
Saturday, February 21st, 2009What do I do if a wedding check from a guest bounces?
Don’t say a word! The bank will notify your guest and they will likely mail you another check. When you write the thank you note, don’t make any mention of the bounced check.
I’m allowing my guests to bring dates to our wedding only if they are in long term relationships. Should I make an expception for one of my bridesmaids who is single? Should I allow her to bring a date.
Yes!
We’re having a cupcake wedding “cake” and wonder if we cut into a cupcake together or just skip it all together?
Well, although super cute, they aren’t actually wedding cakes. Cutting into one is just not the same as cutting into a large tiered cake. Why not just each hold a cupcake and take a bite, or hold one and take a photo.
My mom’s friend is a florist and has offered to do my flowers at a discount. While I appreciate the gesture, I want to go with a different, hip & trendy florist. How do I turn her down without hurting her feelings?
It depends on who’s paying. If you’re paying, let the friend know that while you appreciate her generosity very much, you have already chosen another florist. If your mom is the one paying, you just need to understand that sometimes parental wedding money have strings attached. If you must go with mom’s florist, give her as much direction as possible and be grateful for the extra attention.
I have two close friends, Steve and Carol who just divorced. Both are attending my wedding and Steve is planning on bringing a date. Do I have to let him and should I warn Carol?
Yes, you have to let him (you’re not the date police). Yes, warn Carol, who may want to bring a hottie of her own. Do not seat them at the same table.
