Rehearsal dinner
CourtneyBrittain in Etiquette and Advice, on May 11, 2019 at 10:48 PM

Is a rehearsal dinner a necessity? FH and I would likely have to pay out of pocket, and with 6 bm/gm, 4 flowers girls and a ring bearer we wouldn’t be able to swing it unless we did a backyard thing....

Thank You - one or three?
CourtneyBrittain in Etiquette and Advice, on May 9, 2019 at 1:07 PM

FH is a manager and recently his three co-managers got him a congratulatory engagement present; a nice picture frame and a Home Goods gift card. Do we write 3 thank you notes or is 1 okay? Thanks!
