Well, we do that with friends who like to socialize in pricey restaurants, and we have a couple hwo are all foody like that and that's a big joy for them. We meet them for drinks or show up for dessert. They never seem to mind that much.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Aims, she's full of it. You know that everyone will be expected to chip in a percentage based on the number of people, not on what you actually ate. Also, I'm sure the bride's meal/drinks will also be factored into that percentage (I'm sure they aren't going to ask her to pay considering it's a party for her). All of the celebratory dinners I've attended have cost far more than simply the cost of my own meal...

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

For all that is good and holy, why hasn't MoH been struck by a bolt of lightning yet? I'm in total and complete agreement with juliana--kill her ded. ded ded ded ded ded ded DED. And once more for good measure.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The big difference being that this is a bridal shower and your friends aren't expected to bring you a gift beforehand.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kill her, Aimee. Kill her a lot.
If you don't, I'm coming out there to do the job myself.

Because books.
Timelies, everyone.
Go power nap, Maria! That's what office doors are for.
(We left the invites open so people can each manage their own experience.)And if all else fails,this is why God invented credit cards.
The other difference is, it kind of sucks of some of the invitees feel like they can't afford to stay for the whole party. Plus, there are those who don't use/don't have credit cards. I'm with juliana. Kill her so dead.

I want to go off on her so incredibly bad, I can taste it. But every time someone send her an email, she calls Bride and tells her.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Th MoH seems to have a bad case of cranio-rectal inversion. Those can get fatal.

I have typed this response:
You're right, that *is* why God invented credit cards. I guess you can whip yours out for those who can't afford dinner.
