honestly, i think these days it's more about what's accepted among your circle of friends. - kare Oct 3, 12:08 10

- I'm gonna pretend I'm your sister for a minute, here's my thought process... - Jim Oct 3, 12:10 1
  - oh, i know. she really is the best. -- nm - kare Oct 3, 12:14
- i think it's hard to know how some of this etiquette stuff translates to evite and FB event using people. - TFox Oct 3, 12:09 5
  - See, this is where I fall. Dammit...you KNOW I'm bringing a gift, do I have to beg you for the registry? -- nm - Jim Oct 3, 12:11 4
    - Truthfully, though, you can usually look up registries without a URL, even without knowing the stores. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:12 3
      - If I'm really speaking truthfully, I don't care where anyone registers. I'm giving cash. nm - Jim Oct 3, 12:13 2
        
        Next year, I'm making it even simpler: If you want to drink, keg stand. -- nm - Jim SI Oct 3, 12:15
        
        there you go! but I would say most of the time I find registries on my own. There are a few central locations. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:14
- i'm pretty rigid about those sorts of rules, but when i threw a baby shower a few years ago, i put the registry on the invitation. - Andie Oct 3, 12:09
it's printing the registry on the invitation that's considered bad form (especially weddings, more so than showers really). - Andie Oct 3, 12:07 10
- I agree on the wedding, but not on the baby shower. But I'm a dude. - Jim Oct 3, 12:08 8
  - for a shower, it's not so bad, IMO, since gifts are the whole point of a shower. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:10 2
    - Hm. I feel a good "etiquette for etiquette's sake is dumb" kind of grousing coming on. -- nm - con_carne Oct 3, 12:28
    - That's my thinking. -- nm - Jim Oct 3, 12:10
  - you're such a sweet hubby. :) -- nm - kare Oct 3, 12:09
  - enh, that's amusing. not offensive. -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 12:09 3
    - I have to imagine that if I'm making a list of things that are tough for people to deal with, being offended at an invite is pretty low on the list -- nm - con_carne Oct 3, 12:23 1
      - *points to the Book of Girl Rules, vol 30* -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:44
    - Is it offensive if I mean it? :) -- nm - Jim Oct 3, 12:10
- this. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:07
