While it may seem that “anything goes” regarding wedding etiquette these days, there are a few firm rules about guest lists and gift obligations.
Dear Cheryl,
My daughter has already had one shower which included me, her sisters, her bridesmaids and their mothers. Now she is having another shower given by an aunt and she wants to invite all of the above people and some others – even some that are not invited to the wedding.

Hi Cheryl,
I am officiating my niece’s wedding and am wondering if it’s appropriate, or expected, for me to help pay for the bridal shower? I already donated $100 toward the shower and bought a gift. There are only a few bridal attendants: 2 bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid, and a flower girl, so expenses for each of them are a bit high.
Should I contribute more to the shower? I’d like to help if needed, but I don’t want to appear as though I am trying to make myself the same status as the attendants and take away from their important roles. Thoughts?

All three courses of the meal were set up “bar” style allowing guests to customize their food to suit their individual tastes. We started with a delicious crostini bar featuring bruschetta and cheeses, then enjoyed a pasta bar, and finished the evening off with a strawberry shortcake bar. The food was delicious!
We love DIY food bars for several reasons, mostly because the food presentation is simple and easy to do, but also looks so appealing! On top of ..read more
