Yes, you need to mingle with everyone. Shaking someones hand in a receiving line and then ignoring them the rest of the night is rude. Most brides and grooms do both and visit each table. The bride and groom are served dinner first. You eat and then walk around while other tables are still...

I always give around $100 to $200 depending on level of friendship. If we are friends with both the bride and groom then $200 to $300. I feel like no matter how much money I've spent to be in the wedding that being in it means I'm close enough to the couple I should be giving a significant amount.

We didn't discuss it until we were ready to have children 3 to 5 years into our marriage. Had we discussed it before the wedding we would have had to say daycare but since his job and income changed by the time we had kids I was able to stay home. I think you do need to discuss expectations to...

You are missing the point. Personal responsibility means that people get off their own butts to help their own selves, not to "get involved" and help "rebuild the country." Too many people blame everyone else for their situations. I have friends out of work and struggling who have no one to...

Why do you need to display the menu? I've never seen that done before. When people get up there they will take what they like. I wouldn't bother.

It is customary to just put the bride's parents. It has not been until the last few years that I have started seeing the groom's parents on there at all. I've been to over 30 weddings and I think I've seen the groom's parents on there maybe 3 times. It's up to you. It's not expected or...

Sounds like they took a serious day and tried to take a joke way too far in an attempt to get attention for themselves. You are right to be angry.

I don't think you can wear contact lenses. They usually make you wear glasses in the hospital in case something were to happen and there was an emergency.

I guess you are referring to the inside envelope and it would be their first names.

We had a big rectangle with our initials in it and a design. It was $400 USD.
