'Bushwhacked'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But I'm already paying the delivery fee (it's a small operation, so I'm pretty sure he gets the money) calculated off the fact I have stairs.
If it were me, I would still stick a $10 in my pocket, in case he is expecting a tip.
ION, I just had a long conversation about wedding etiquette, and my boss was saying she got into a huge flamewar on some board by saying she didn't think anyone needed to be invited "and guest" if you didn't want to. What say you people?
I swear to god, all the tipping rules drive me batshit.
Matt, he is clearly going to fit in.
I will say, the rule of thumb in NYC is apparently tip everyone for everything, and more money than you'd think, but I don't necessarily follow that.
What say you people?
I don't think "and guest" is obligatory - no one should have to double a guest list (double the cost!). If the invitee can't possibly appear without guest, the option is to decline.
I don't think you need to invite everyone + guest, but then I have never understood taking a date other then someone you are dating to a wedding/any other event - if I am a guest at a wedding they should know if I am datign someone, right?

That's what we were saying!

This, too -- if I don't know the person's name, I don't need to have them at my wedding! Although my coworkers were saying living together/engaged/married as the barrier for bringing a date, I wouldn't be that strict.
What say you people?
Giving single people the option of bringing a guest is traditional, but I don't think it's a big faux pas to just invite your specific relatives and friends. Seating can be an issue, and the catering for wedding receptions is VERY pricey. Not inviting a known significant other would be more of a problem though.
Wait-- was she say that if you were a couple, you shouldn't have to include "and guest" or was she saying that if you were invited with an and guest, you HAVE to bring a guest?

seekrit message to Sparky: are we going to illustrate this point? with names removed, for respect of course...
