I was just invited to a wedding reception on Facebook, it popped into my notifications just now as I was laying here in bed. They have been married for a few months, but now they are having their reception. It's this Saturday...as in 5 days from now....

The only information on there is:

"We are registered at.... (List the three stores)"

"If you can't make it, you can send a card to (address)"

"It's informal, you can wear jeans."

That's it. That is all she wrote on this invitation. Wow.

I'm not one who is super against a lot of things that are thought of as tacky on here, because many of those "tacky" things are just the way of life around here. This was too much, though. I'm not going, and I'm not sending them cash.

    Every now and again, I wish we had various font options for these boards. Mostly for times like this, when the only response I REALLY have is a giant ellipses.

    I can't stand that. I wouldn't send them anything either. I'm not one to judge, but that's just rude.

    1) That is unbelievable. How tacky and rude.

    2) Your Starbucks kiss avatar is ADORABLE and I have major envy over it. So yes.

    Ha. That's great! My FH and I were invited to my cousins wedding on Facebook. Not just the reception, but the wedding as well! Talk about tacky.

    They are just completely clueless I think. Their whole wedding and everything involved has been a disaster from the day they got engaged.

    Thank you, Randi! That picture is how we announced our engagement on social media. :-) We have a whole set of fun Starbucks photos. I love them.

    Just ick. I'd send them a pair of jeans. From the thrift store. ;-)
