1) It’s rude to ask for money. 2) All your bridal party has to do is show up to your wedding. 3) Do an open bar / at least a beer and wine option. What other advice will you definitely get on here?

Well I don’t think those are really friendors. They’re professionals that are your friends. You had contracts and paid them. I feel like the friendor term is someone who does _____ on the side and is offering their “services”
I’m glad it worked out for you!

Hahaha I love this, I've thought the same thing, but it also ties into the know your crowd thing. In my circles its rude to not bring a gift, and I've been to tons of friends and families weddings and always gifted something. So of course I'm going to be a little salty if someone shows up with nothing. Especially if that person lives 10 minutes away and is drinking my free alcohol and eating my free food... I at least want a damn card.
Bahaha exactly, Maggie!!! Obviously people in general have different interpretations on wedding etiquette, but shouldn't we all have at least common decency??? Bring a card!!!!

Bring a card. Put money in it. Put it in the card box. It’s not that hard.
I've been putting this out there whenever I can because so many people think that etiquette means that this a rule and you can't break it, but it's not that at all. It just like saying, "I really don't like peas, so you shouldn't like peas either." That's silly.
Yep I've seen all of the above. Its actually one reason why I took a break from wedding wire I felt people were so rude about it if your asking for advice and 10 people in a row say the say thing you dont need a 100 more making you feel bad for asking a question.
Wow. This is a really good post. I’m in the beginning stage of planning for my wedding. I’m learning a lot from reading some of these discussions. Someone had told me about the honeyfund.. I haven’t had a chance to look into it, but thought maybe we should do this. But after reading about it on these discussions, I think I need to rethink about it.
