Thanks for thinking of me!<BR/><BR/>here's my contribution:<BR/><BR/>When we got married, we invited people and their significant others, if they had one. We didn't just do a blanket "& guest" for two reasons:<BR/><BR/>1. We had both hated receiving "and guest" invitations as, if you were the recipient you needed to find a "rent-a-date" which just made you Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357975842045514585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2358517081817595311.post-21651955791978610622008-03-04T20:33:00.000-05:002008-03-04T20:33:00.000-05:00OMG - I would have beaten either set of parents wi...OMG - I would have beaten either set of parents within an inch of their lives if they posted a wedding invite on their work bulletin boards!!!!

At my wedding, people who were 3rd and 4th cousins or whatever showed up(John's side)no invites to them, didn't even know them, but we did get lots of prezzies and money, so depends on point of view. But that was 21 years ago. Times have changed.<BR/>Hope it works out!<BR/>DonnaDaisyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453313601205912796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2358517081817595311.post-3290588615410605432008-03-04T15:22:00.000-05:002008-03-04T15:22:00.000-05:00Hey Kim!

I gave each set of parents a set number (100) that they could invite and the appropriate number of invitations. My parents were great (no shock there), Marc's parents...notsomuch! They used their invitations and then when they ran out....they posted them on a bulletin Jacquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423256914990926846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2358517081817595311.post-43156252483967724652008-03-04T00:24:00.000-05:002008-03-04T00:24:00.000-05:00I have ZILLIONS of freebies - let me know when you...I have ZILLIONS of freebies - let me know when you're looking for stuff. I've been itching to stitch some of those Chatelaine designs myself.<BR/><BR/>As for the wedding thing, when DH and I got married, we had no "and guests" on our list, which pissed some people off. But we felt if it was important enough to invite someone to our wedding, it was important enough to invite them by name.

There's also a different set of customs in every part of the country, which has nothing to do with being backwards!

If there is no known SO, or no SO, then I've seen it done both ways - to just "Person" and also to Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113442343449042962noreply@blogger.com
