Is it tacky to post a picture of the ring on social media sites?
Sarah, on May 17, 2013 at 4:05 PM

Blunt Response Card Wording
Future Mrs., on May 7, 2013 at 6:59 AM

Has anyone ever seen some really blunt wording on response cards? I've seen 'RSVP is limited to invited guests?' or 'if we don't receive an RSVP, we will assume you're not attending'?
