Here are a few things you should really never, ever do. After all, it’s no fun being called tacky!

*Announcing your engagement before your divorce is final.
*Sending a thank-you note and explaining that, since you have everything you need, the gift will be donated to charity or will be returned for cash.
*Sending a “courtesy” invitation expecting a gift, but not the guest. Don’t send an invitation unless you truly want the recipient to attend your wedding.
*The bride and groom being served a lobster feast while the guests are served chicken.
*Cash bars. When someone comes to your home for dinner and you serve them wine, do you say, “That will be five dollars please?”
*Including your bridal registry anywhere on your wedding invitation or the inserts.
*Asking your guests to contribute money towards your mortgage, honeymoon or wedding expenses.
