My father passed away last year. How can I still include him in the song to him.
I'm having trouble narrowing down my list of attendants. Is seven too many? Yes, seven is probably stretching etiquette just a bit. Select your top four and ask them first. If one or more are unable to fill the role, then go down your list.
Is it proper to send invitations to the caterers, photographers, disc jockeys etc.? No, it's generally not necessary and isn't expected.
Should I mention where we are registered in our invitation.
My co-workers (twenty of them) are throwing a shower, thrown with coworkers only, and not your main shower, you do not need to invite everyone.
How long does the etiquette indicates all thank-you's should be hand-written, on nice note paper.
Our pastor has no fee, but said we could make a donation toward custodial world. As a general figure, I'd suggest 0-0. Have the best man give the money to the officiant, explaining that some is custodial and some is for his/her kindness.
I have both a father and step-father. How do I handle the father/daughter dance at the reception? They could each get a full dance with you. If you select this option, dance with man you feel closest to first. On the other hand, if there's any family friction (or if this will cause friction) you could omit this dance from the event.
Should meal choices be listed on response cards or should we just select one meal? Both are acceptable. As a side note, chicken is the most popular choice.
