Grammar Mafia Unite!

I'm with the Oxford Comma movement, so I'm with 2.

A little harsh there Whitney.

I am an Oxford comma user as well. It doesn't look right to me without it lol

Oxford comma all the way! Choice number 2!!!

Whoa, Whitney, easy does it!

I'm with Staci on the comma

#2!

Once you ask for grammar advice you open the floodgates. But it's okay Whitney.

Thanks everybody!!! "Join us in continuing the celebration with cocktails, dinner, and dancing" it is!

What about the "in" part?

I'm partial to the Oxford comma. I don't like the sound of "by continuing" as it implies a suggestion or a choice of one of the three (regardless of "and"). It's also needlessly wordy. What about a simple "Please join us after the ceremony for cocktails, dinner, and dancing"?

The Oxford comma is my boyfriend. #2 all the way.

@Rebecca maybe she hates Kermit the frog.

Does anyone else feel that Whitney clearly chose the second option simply to piss Staci off??? Anyone??

I think SequinTableRunner's version is the best one if you're dead set on having "cocktails, dinner, and dancing" on there.

Also, no need to get snippy with Staci. We love her and will defend her to the death. #WatchYourself

The sentence itself is a little too long and drawn out. I agree with Staci and I would just keep it simple. No need to get snippy, we're just giving suggestions.

"Join us in celebrating with..." Just saying.

But seriously, if you ask one or two and someone says two, don't flip the fuck out.

@Staci - Who could hate Kermit?! #UMDalum

To be frank, it's all in how something is said [or in this case..typed].

Staci could have very well said the same thing she did [as did others] in a less meme-y [read: snarky] way, and it would have been appreciated. She didn't, so I responded.

Why everyone outside of Staci has an opinion on what Staci and I just chuckled off and "meme-d" out is beyond me.

So, I think it's best to keep the extended banter to yourself and let it go. To Staci's point, it wasn't any of her business (correct #1) and she's not even mad (meme #2).

Well put Mrs O&S xox

I'm on team Oxford comma because someone already posted the strippers.

Option #2, with a period at the end of the sentence.
