Quite possibly the tackiest wedding invite EVER
Ready for it:
Kiddie Kiddlestein is proud to announce the marriage of her mommy:
Bride and her daddy, Groom on such and such a day at ADDRESS (which is their backyard so it goes on to say:) Please dress wedding appropriate.
Mom and Dad already have so many things, and their wish is to take a vacation (without me waaaahhhh) Please join me and the rest of the family in donating to their registry for their honeymoon. My mom and dad work really hard and deserve it.
***KID IS NOT EVEN 2 SO THIS WAS CLEARLY WRITTEN BY THE PARENTS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK THAT THEY HAD NOTHIGN TO DO WITH THE RUDENESS....THOUGHTS?
Re: Quite possibly the tackiest wedding invite EVER
If there is a registry of any kind -- it's not to be mentioned in any type of invitation. People will ask --- then it is okay to say "We have a registry that is x, y or z." Until then, say nothingl.
Maybe wait until you were settled enough to get married to someone before you had a kid... And you would've been able to pay for a fooking vacation yourselves!
Trashy jackazzes!

THIS.
Exactly this. Verbatim.
Yep -- if they ask the bride or the groom, then they can mention they have a registry for whatever, or when the honor attendant or bride's mother or whoever close to the bride is asked. Sheesh....put no registry info in an invite whatsoever.
I'd say that 4 out of the last 5 wedding invites I've received have included registry information. I've also seen an alarming uptick in honeymoon registries or straight-up demands for cash money.
When did people become so gauche? I've started taking the stance that if registry info was mailed to me in the invite, then I send along my regrets and that's it.
the "deserve" part kills me.
I'm wondering what in the world constitutes "wedding appropriate" in a backyard.
Well, and how they decided they deserve a trip they don't have to pay for...

Fussbucket you KILL ME.
There are tacky invites and then there's this one.
I'd be sending my regrets for that one, no doubt.
It's a little bit better if it's on the shower invites, but I've never seen that info on the actual wedding invites.
