Ok, let me get on my soap box. I have experienced something twice now that bugs me regarding weddings. It started with Branden and Chris’ wedding, and now continues with Ashley and Wade’s wedding. What is so hard about returning the reply card letting us know whether you will attend or not? If we put the postage on the envelope to make it easy for you to reply by putting your name on the invitation and checking a box that you will attend or not, why is it so hard to return the envelope and card?

We experienced the same phenomena with the first wedding, and now with the second. I just do not get it. For those of you who have had your children’s weddings already, you know that we need to give the caterer a head count at least one week BEFORE the wedding. What is so hard about taking 30 seconds to complete the card and return it to the bride’s parents? It costs you no stamp or significant investment!

OK, I feel better. I just do not understand the lack of basic common courtesy with the special event. Based upon other parent’s experiences, I know that this is more common that most of us realize. Let’s all make a commitment to do better at this.

I am looking forward to Superbowl Sunday at Branden and Chris’ house this Sunday. I just have to figure out who to root for. Go Cowboys!…….Oh sorry, I am living in the past.:)
