But my favorite piece of hatemail posted here is a reply to July 4th Weddings Part II

Your Presence Is Not A Present

Who remembers the IHateWeddings.com "Don't Give A Gift In 2006" campaign? I received a very thoughtful reply to this posting on the comment board and I wanted to share it. (It's probably from someone I stiffed at their wedding)


Should wedding guests be REQUIRED to give a wedding gift?
No. Your presence is a present.
Yes. Some small token of your appreciation is appropriate.

Signs You're A B-List Wedding Guest

I think the hardest part of planning a wedding is picking who you want to come to the wedding. Instead of voting people off the island, families have to "vote friends out of the reception." It's a hard process, especially for couples having smaller weddings.

But sometimes couples have the reverse problem. After they've boiled down the guest list to their favorite relatives and friends the RSVPs start coming in. They start to realize that their most treasured friends and family members don't want to come to their wedding.

Empty chairs means lost revenue for the bride and groom. Plus there is nothing more humiliating to a young couple getting married than empty tables at your reception.

It's at that point Brides and Grooms have to whip out "The B List" and sometimes things get so bad . . . they have to whip out "The D List."

Here are some signs you were a B List wedding guest.
