Why if a friend that i met on the internet invite me to his place for holidays?

Should I say that I met him on the internet to the immigration officers in customs? I just want to spend my holiday from work and school and my friend invited me to stay in his house I Puerto Rico, I am single he so does he, but I just want to have fun and enjoy my holiday, I have a cousin in Miami too that I want to visit should I say that I will visit him ? what can I say? I am planning to stay no more than 2 weeks.
Why if a friend that i met on the internet invite me to his place for holidays?
You do not need to elaborate to the immigration officers as to whom you're visiting. Simply say either I'm on vacation" or "I've visiting a relative". It's not anyone else's business what you do with your time during your stay or who you hang out with.





Just make sure this "friend" you met over the internet is real. Meet them in a public place first. Never just go to their house. If you do, take Chris Hansen from "To Catch a Predator" with you.
Reply:I met my husband on the internet. He was in Wyoming and I lived in the UK. I travelled out there to meet him face to face. You do need to be streetwise, I made took every precaution before I left the UK. I asked him for a phone number where I could be contacted plus an address even the licence plate details of his vehicle. If any of the above did not match what he had told me then I wouldn't have stayed with him. I gave all this information to my parents before I left home. Plus my parents talked to him on web cam before I left home so at least they knew what he looked like too.





So do go careful, not everybody is like the picture answerer no 2 paints. Have a WONDERFUL vacation and be happy.
Reply:If you are single, enjoy being a single. Just be careful. Don't go stay in your internet boy friend's house for holidays. Sounds awkward.
Reply:If you only know if from the internet then the situation is pretty risky. Alot of people can come off as extremely friendly and normal but they turn out to be psycotic. Just be careful if you decide to go!

Why do I have to go through so much to invite my parents to live with me in Australia?

I migrated to Australia in 2002 and my Parents are close to 70 years of age now, they live in India, my biggest problem right now is I can't call my parents to live with me forever because of Immigration laws and I want to live with them and be their support in this old age. Why can't we have decent laws that supports not only skilled migration but also unique family vaules from overseas. Roughly I spend about $10K PA to support my parents overseas every year, if they were here in Australia, I am sure it would have been well spent whithin Australian economy.
Why do I have to go through so much to invite my parents to live with me in Australia?
Good point. But what about the eldery that immigrate and then suck up healthcare expenses from the system? The problem is the abuse of relationship laws and the fact that there are too many people trying to immigrate into too few decent countries.

Amount of people to invite to my sweet 16?

whats a good amount?


if you've had one, how many people went?
Amount of people to invite to my sweet 16?
depends if ut having it at ur house probly 15-20 people depending on the size f ur house. if your renting a hall maybe 80+ people and it depends on if your a person who has their close friends or if your friends with many people .. good luck and happy birthday
Reply:According to party planning guidelines...for a child's birthday party, ONE guest per year of age. SO 16 guests, if you consider yourself a child.





You might consider two separate affairs...one for family and one for friends. OR one for ALL your friends and family and a special getaway (nice dinner out, out to spa, mini-vacation, concert) or sleepover for your very best girlfriends. For this one, the number depends on how tight your inner circle is and how sensitive your friends would be if not invited, as well as how much money you are spending. It might be all the girls in your youth group, or all the girls on the cheer squad, or on your team, or in your section of choir, or whatever.

Is it ok to invite fewer people to the wedding than to the engagement party?

In order to include all our friends and family in our wedding, we need to have one event where we live and one event in my fiance's home country. As you can probably imagine, this could easily become *very* expensive. We want our wedding here to be nice, so we really need to keep it on the small side - 50 - 75 guests. Unfortunately, this means that we can't invite everyone we would like to.





Our idea is to have a casual engagement party at our house and invite all our friends, and then only invite family and close friends to the actual wedding and dinner reception. (Catering is more expensive that i thought!)





Does this sound like a reasonable way to include everyone, or is it just rude to invite someone to the engagement party but not to the wedding?





any thoughts?
Is it ok to invite fewer people to the wedding than to the engagement party?
I personally think it would be rude to invite them to an engagement party and not to the actual wedding...someone is bound to get upset by it. You could have a smaller ceremony and then just invite guests to a larger reception. Try checking with caterers for their cost on a Friday evening or on a weekend afternoon...that can be a lot cheaper than Saturday night. Also, if you can manage it, try to avoid telling them that you are planning a wedding- they will jack up the cost big time if they know it's a wedding reception. Just tell them it's a dinner party and leave it at that. There are a ton of great wedding books at the library that you can check out about cutting costs and saving money. Also, I got a lot of help from www.theknot.com when I was planning my wedding. Congrats and best wishes!
Reply:If I were invited to an engagement party, I would attend and bring a gift. I would be offended (a little or a lot, depending on how close I was to the bride/groom) if I wasn't included on the wedding invite list. One exception -- if the bride and groom made it clear from the get-go that they were going to elope or that their wedding would be family only (no friends or coworkers).





Congrats on your marriage, and good luck!
Reply:First, you don't throw yourself an engagement party. Generally, the parents of the bride and groom give an engagement party (usually the bride's parents, but it can be the groom's, or they could host two separate parties, with the bride's parents' being held first). The idea is to introduce the two families and close friends to one another. Because the engagement party usually includes only family and close friends, they would almost certainly also be invited to the wedding. But, since the engagement party is hosted by the parents and the wedding is presumably hosted by the bride and groom, there may be some guests who are included on one list and not another. But not on the scale you're talking about.





I would suggest that you not throw yourselves an engagement party. Have the small wedding you envision, and then after returning from your hooneymoon, throw a casual party that could include people who were not at the wedding. Make it clear that your wedding needed to be very small, but that you want to share your joy with a wider circle of friends. Also spread the word that there should be no gifts for the post-honeymoon party--it is, as you suggested, simply a celebration of your wedding, not a grab for gifts.





It's hard to compromise when you wat to share your joy, but you must. Best wishes.
Reply:No, it's really not kewl
Reply:Rather than call it an engagement party, why not just say it's a reception and do it after you get married in your fiances home country?
Reply:Uh . . . it is usually the reverse. The engagement party is small, and the wedding is larger. If people come to the engagement party, they will naturally expect to be invited to the wedding.





My suggestion? Avoid hurt feelings by skipping the engagement party. Many folks don't have an engagement party at all. Have a BBQ or big informal party after you return from your honeymoon. Invite the large group of friends then.
Reply:I live in Australia and here its pretty much the way things are done. More people as always invited to the engagement party then the wedding.





Engagement parties are cheaper event and you can share your joy of being engaged to the man you love with anyone you want to be there.





For weddings due to budget restrictions its sometimes not possible to invite all the people you want so thats why engagement parties are bigger.





I definately dont think its rude to invite people to the engagement party and not the wedding. I have been to about 5 engagement parties and about 2 weddings so far in my life!!
Reply:I don't think that it is a bad thing to do. I think it is a really good idea for you to invite neighbors and co workers to the engagement party because those are the people that I wouldn't want to spend money on at a reception... I also think that it needs to be a very nice party and you should let it be known that you are planning on having a small wedding which is why you are throwing such a large engagement party that way no one's feelings get hurt. it would be nice for people to bring gifts too.... It's your wedding do what you like so long as you do it tastefully... I think people will feel honored to be invited to the engagement party just the same as the actual wedding especially if you tell them you are having an intimate wedding...
Reply:Sorry, but the general rule is that everyone invited to engagement parties and showers must be included as a wedding guest.





It would breed a feeling of "I guess I am not good enough to attend the wedding" and would lead to bad feelings.
Reply:i would be offended if you were my friend, sorry.


i wold rather see you on your wedding day than on your informal engagement party day.


how about making the wedding inexpensive and include everyone. or make it very small - strictly your parents and closest relative wedding, that way you dont have exclude anyone





weddings are not so much about being expensive and extravagant but about being happy and sharing your happiness with your family and friends.
Reply:Skip the engagement party and save the money for the wedding. If you invite people to an engagement party they have to be invited to the wedding. It is rude not to. Find a way that is in your budget to have a nice wedding with the people you want to celebrate it with.
Reply:Engagement parties are tacky in the first place. Don't have one and then you won't have to worry about hurting anyones feelings. I would personally be angry if I were invited to an engagement party, brought a gift and then weren't invited to the wedding.
Reply:Actually its a pretty good Idea, but try to make the engagement party as special as possible. Take photo's, encourage the toasting, have a special dance, Just be creative, then casually while mingling with your guest be sure to thank them for helping you celebrate, and casually mention that you will be having a really intimate ceremony. You may even ask a friend to video tape special messages from your guest letting them know that you really want a way to include them so you will be playing this message at your ceremony. Congratulations
Reply:If you invite someone to your engagement party, they will expect to be invited to the wedding as well. It is a similar situation to bridal showers. Perhaps you should avoid the engagement party altogether and just have a small wedding as you described for those that you can afford to invite, avoiding the decision altogether.

Do I have to invite every child in my daughter's class to her birthday party?

I need etiquette help. She is in kindergarten and has been invited to numerous parties from her classmates. The problem is she has many friends and family outside the classroom also. The party can get pricey. Where do you draw the line without offending anyone?
Do I have to invite every child in my daughter's class to her birthday party?
Good question. Not only can this be pricey, but it is a dis-service to not teach our children moderation. One of the most important lessons in life is to learn not to get our feelings hurt and to not take things personally when we ourselves might not be invited to a party we thought we would or should have been.





It's a great opportunity to talk about sensitivity issues and explain that since we cannot invite everyone, we must be very careful not to talk about the party around others that could make them feel bad.





Your child will probably at some time be asked by an inquiring or maybe just plain bold child about why they weren't invited to their party. Help your child formulate a kind response in anticipation of this event.





Finally, you can help her other friends feels cared about by inviting them over before and after for play dates or a mini-party that doesn't revolve around the birthday celebration.





For instance: when our children were young, we didn't want them spending the night at others homes so we did a "Mini Sleepover". A friend or two would come over and have dinner and watch a movie all sprawled out on their sleeping bags. When the designated time arrived, the parents would pick up their child.





Best of luck and congradts. on your sensitivity to your child and others feelings!
Reply:hell no...you invite her closest friends unless you want the whole damn school at your house. Forget hurting peoples feelings, if u dont hurt their feelings, theyre going to hurt your wallet.
Reply:only invite who you want, but the rule here is the invitations can not be passed out in school if the whole class isn't invited, instead parents usually just call the parents who's kids are invited and the other kids don't feel left out.
Reply:You do not have to invite everyone in the class to the party...but if you are not DO NOT send the invites to shcool with her. Send them in the mail instead that way the other kids do not feel left out.
Reply:If not everyone in the class is invited, you need to deliver the invitations to their homes or mail them. Do not hand them out at school. That is the proper way. You are not obligated to invite everyone. Just mail or hand deliver to the home of the child that is invited. Have Fun!
Reply:if you can't invite whole class don't send invitations to school mail them
Reply:just invite the one's that she talks to on a regular basis.
Reply:chances are that people are going to be offend no matter what you do. invite the people that your daughter wants to have there. no need to invite everyone.
Reply:okay tell your child that she can only invite say 5 kids from her class (or however many you want) but make sure she gets to pick make cute lil cards or buy them and give them to her and tell her make sure she choices the RIGHT ppl. for it....nobody can get offended just b/c she cant give everyone one!!...good luck and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (to your child)
Reply:Get the mailer list from the school and send the invitations directly to the kids you want to invite. This will help to "shield" those who did not get invited from knowing they were not invited in the first place.
Reply:If you don't invite every child in the class, don't hand out invitations in school. Mail them instead. Otherwise some of the kids will feel bad and left out.
Reply:I'm going to take the other side of the fence ... how would your child feel if they weren't invited to a party that some of the kids were talking about....a party for just the class with a few frills can inexpensive... most schools are beginning to only allow you to pass invitations out if you have one for each student....
Reply:It's really hard to draw the line at this age - you're going to end up with hurt feelings somewhere along the line. If you can't invite everyone in the class, send the invites thru regular mail, and I would at least invite all the girls to the party. (It's easier to separate them by gender.)





The other thing to consider - what about having a small birthday party with her classmates, and then later on taking her closest non-school friends out for pizza one night separately, and then just having family for cake one night? This way, no one is really excluded and you're not breaking the bank.
Reply:I would suggest asking the teacher to do a classroom party for her school friends and just bring in juice and cupcakes etc.
Reply:To answer your question, no, you do not have to invite every child in your daughter's class to her birthday party. Though whatever you do, do not send invitations to the children via your own child. If you want a few of her friends from the class to come then let her know that you will invite the friends she chooses (you might want to give her a limit on how many she can invite). Then just mail the invitations out. As long as you conduct all your actions outside of the school, there shouldn't be any interference by the teacher or school. I know it sounds a bit shady and all, but there is nothing that says you have to spend money on someone else's children.
Reply:I don't think that you need to invite everyone from her class. Maybe you could send cupcake or something to school on Friday so she can celebrate with the kids there. Then she can invite just a few that she plays with the most to her party outside of school.
Reply:Invite her closet friends or who she wants.


do not sent the invitations in school if you are not inviting everyone. Or you can do like a gymnastics party or pool party where it is one set price for up to 25 kids
Reply:Hi! I agree with the answers about sending the invitations out if you are not going to invite the whole class. In our family, a general rule of thumb is to only invite the number of kids that you child is turning. So, if she is turning 5, invite 5. This has worked well with both of my kids, and now that my oldest is 9, she has only a few close friends that she invites. As they get older, they will invite less. Hope this helps!
Reply:no only invite who your child wants to.
Reply:No. You make the guest list, you call the shots, only invite the girls from class she really plays with a lot. Just DON'T hand out the invites at school--mail them to their homes, and use this opportunity to teach some etiquette to your daughter about not discussing the party at school since not all are invited. She is old enough to understand this.
Reply:If you are not inviting the whole class which I don't think that you are required to do. ( Would you want people that you didnt necessarily like going to your birthday?) Get the mailing addresses of children in the class and mail them out. Do not have her hand out invites to just some of the children, this could create problems. Have your daughter not talk about the party too much at school but if the subject comes up and someone has hurt feelings just explain that you had to limit the invites because you have a lot of outside friends and family.
Reply:you would lose your mind if you had all thoes kids at her party ,i wouldn't worry about it ask her who she wants and invite them and leave it at that any one who has a problem with it isn't worth your time anyway
Reply:Well as a mom of 4 boys, we have one in kindergarden, one in first and one in second. You draw the line wherever you feel comfortable. At least once a week one of the kids is bringing home an invitation to a party. It gets spendy, 10$ per child each week HA! Anyways i recently made my rule up and that is this. If i know the kid, or the parents ( as i know most lol because i am a room mother) they can go, IF its a girl party they dont go, as we have boys and its just easier.


People have gotten into the wrong idea on parties, they take them to pizza places, or swimming parties around here and it gets to be to much running, every weekend booked and its not cheap. They want their child to get as many gifts as possible and blah blah blah. Draw the line where you feel like drawing and DONT feel bad at all!!!!
Reply:Even if you do invite them all, more then likely some wont show. So put RSVP on the invites. As well as put on the ones to the class that parent should remain present with the child at all times. I know that sounds kinda crass, but seriously that will drop the number of classmates that attend.


I have been one of them moms that will not drop off a child at a birthday party, but some moms seem fine with that. So put that on the invite and see what happens. Trust me, the number will drop down!


Good Luck, and Happy Birthday to the birthday Girl!!!
Reply:If you send the invitations TO school with her then you have to invite everyone...it is very rude, crass and tacky to send invitiatons to school and leave out some of the kids. For a five year old you want to limit the guests to about 10 at the most. Pick 10 of the closet and leave it at that..But do NOT sent the invitations to school.
Reply:Only invite her closest friends like say its a small girls party or something...and give the invitations to the parents dont let her give them out at school because then other kids will feel bad if they arent invited. Good luck
Reply:Most teachers will not let the children pass out anything without having one for each person.. At your daughters age kids will be hurt easy.





You have a few options-


1. Do you know the parents-after school YOU pass out the invites..


2. Do 2 parties-


3.State RSVP a must





Now you say your child has been invited to a few class parties- How many other children have shown up?


In the past if there has been 25 kids in my childs class only about 5-6 will show up..


What about a class party? Then a family party?


Wish I could help you better..


First ask the teacher what the rule is on passing out invites..


Then go from there- You have a budget set for your childs b-day after a few years I had to cut family out of the big party and do a family dinner setting.. Its never easy!
Reply:you only need invite tose your daughter really wants there and no one else its not bad manners its just life and I doubt anyone will get upset

Reply:heres a trick, if ur in a neighborhood type in "ctrl-shift-c" dont raise your fingers up when you type thoes in. a smallish box should appear in the top left corner, in that box type in,


"boolprop testingcheatsEnabled true" exactly how i typed it. then press "enter" to make the box thing dissapear type in that same thing after clicking on a house. when you get to the house that you want to throw a party in, invite the people, then when your guests arrive, predd down the shift key, hold it down then click on a person, their face should show up on the screen like it would if u normally click on someone. click "make selectable" you now will be able to controll them and other stuff. then if thay have a family, you can make them call their family to invite them over. then you would be able to basically do that over and over. i hope that helps :)

goto "online game mode"





then goto "view player hub"





use your LB or L1 to got "address"





then goto your friend name. e.g. subzero49 etc





then you can invite him to your club
Reply:i think that if you load up your game, then go on xbox live, select Fifa 09 Leaderboards then if you hold "LT" and press up you should be on friends. select the friend you want click on his name then you should see a list of options select "invite to club"


if you want to invite someone other than a friend then do exactly the same but you dont need to press LT just find them on the leaderboard click on his name and invite to club.

Is it ok to ask the people that you invite to your wedding to bring food?

Me and my fiance both live in a small town and both of us have TONS of family that also live in the same town. The problem is that we don't have a lot of money for the wedding. I don't want to not invite everyone because I want them all there, plus I think it would really hurt their feelings. The main thing I am worried about is paying for the food. If we provide the main course is it ok to ask our guests to bring a dish with them in place of a gift?
Is it ok to ask the people that you invite to your wedding to bring food?
I would ask a few close relatives if they could do this for you in lieu of a wedding gift but do NOT ask it of all your guests as it will come across as a demand or payment for attending the wedding...





in this way, you family will be 'throwing' your reception for you...perfectly acceptable. To ask or require a food item in order to attend your wedding.....not that acceptable.
Reply:For my wedding, we asked my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law (who is a chef) if they could handle the food. They were happy to do it. We didn't have enough money to pay for catering service either. That was my mother-in-law and brother-in-laws wedding gift to us. And if you want, you can help make it too. But you should not ask your guests to bring food. Just ask someone in your immediate family if they could do it and to make it there gift to you.
Reply:Not a problem at all. Chances are they all know how much food/catering costs and how much money you have or don't have. Many people will still bring a gift and a dish to pass.


Don't worry about it. The other option is to just have a few people help with the food in place of a gift. That way 90% of the people will bring gifts and 10% will help you with the food.
Reply:I think thats a great idea if thats your situation, i've been to weddings where the guests contribute to the days proceedings and its been great. There is no rule of thumb on what you should and shouldn't do. You could focus your entire wedding on having the guests create the atmosphere. Ask them all to bring one flower as well and place empty vases about the venue to make really unusual bouquets/flowerpieces etc etc.
Reply:its called a pot luck reception and i went to two of them last year the bride had close family make the larger meat items and asked the rest of us to do deserts or bring fruit





what i would sugest is ask them what ever they bring if it can feed about 30 ppl ie potato salad for 30 cole slaw for 30 30 cupcakes





i would also ask everyone to write down recipes of there dish and offer a few packs of index cards and pens so people can copy what they liked down
Reply:What you're going to hear is a lot of NO... what I'd actually suggest is to ask FAMILY members... not necessarily every invited guest.





Some people say it's tacky and some say it's okay - it really depends on your relationship with the people you intend to ask to bring food.





Congratulations and best of luck!
Reply:You'd be better off just serving cake and dessert and having a "cake and punch" reception than having people bring food. Call it a dessert reception. That way you'll have enough money to feed everyone and don't have to worry about the potluck thing. You can have more than just wedding cake too.
Reply:Call it a potluck, and yes that is totally ok. Martha Stewart suggest it!





It is a fun way to save money and have food that everyone will love. What is a barbeque or big family dinner without Uncle John's world famous potato salad?





Congratulations!
Reply:I went to a wedding that we brought food instead of a gift it was a small wedding so we didn't have to make a lot. I would say go ahead and tell your guest what you want after all it is your wedding. Good luck.
Reply:Can you rent a hall and get tables and chairs? Tell everyone that you want to have a potluck dinner. It is your wedding after all.
Reply:I think you can make it work. Ask aunts and uncles to bring specific specialties. They would probably be honored.
Reply:It is absolutely OK and everyone will have a great time bringing their dishes and watching other people enjoy them.
Reply:It's kind of tacky but I guess you could say that in lieu of gifts...or maybe just ask family to bring food.
Reply:For an informal wedding that seems like a nice idea

How can I invite people to join us at a restaurant to celebrate and make it clear it is pay for yourself?

Its my boyfriend's 50th birthday. I cannot afford to pay for 12 to eat at applebees but would like to have a small gathering for him there. How can I say it politely in an email invite?
How can I invite people to join us at a restaurant to celebrate and make it clear it is pay for yourself?
I'd make a joke of it. Like Hey We would love your company but unfortunately we have to start saving for retirement...if you would like to join us for drinks...come to...
Reply:BYOC (bring your own cash). The retirement joke is a good one too.
Reply:You can tell people but be prepared.... cause what will you do if someone just stands up and leaves? Will you stop the celebration in order to ask them to give you some money?


I have tried such things, but at the end, I always had to pay for more than expected. Good luck.
Reply:Maybe you could say something like "first drink is on us" or "appetizers are on us" or maybe "come for birthday cake" and then provide the cake. If you are inviting guests, then you should pay for either the cake or some small thing at least. Otherwise, why have it at a restaurant? If you are inviting someone it is usually presumed that the host will provide for the guests. If you word it in the way I've stated above, then people know you are only providing certain things and they are expected to pay for the rest of the way. Other than that, I would either pare down your guest list or do something more affordable that enables you to pay for your guests.
Reply:"Come one, come all to the party. We're all getting together for a meal, everyone paying their own way." You don't need to go into why things are this way and finances, etc. Make sure the restaurant does separate checks for each group or party.





Perhaps you can afford to bring a cake or something similar that the restaurant agrees with - most are OK with this. Mention this on the invite if you can do this. In this way people will at least get something for attending, other than your lovely personality and presence. :o)





Good luck!
Reply:haha. suggest to his friends that the 12 of you are treating him to a dinner celebration. if the 12 are close friends then it goes without saying they ought to treat and have a gathering since its his birthday!

Reply:I literally just hosted a 55th birthday party for my husband - at the end of the e-mail I wrote "Just so you all know I can't pay for 15 meals - so you are paying for your own dinner!" Everyone I invited were friends and everyone completly understood, it was a great night!





Happy Birthday to your boyfriend!
Reply:Maybe you should just have it at your home because if you invite people out to dinner for a birthday, it is assumed that you're paying for it. Sorry I don't have the answer for you.
Reply:You can't. If you're inviting people to a party, you cannot politely ask them to pay for themselves. You could try a VERY informal approach -- What you CAN do is say something like - Joe and I are going to dinner at Applebees on Friday. We're all going "dutch treat," but would be happy to get a bigger table if you want to join in. Let me know by Tuesday, and I'll save you a seat.
Reply:If your inviting close friends and/or family they should understand. I had a party of 22 for my mates 40th and everybody paid their own way. They didn't expect me to pay for it all. Although I did pay for 4 hotel rooms after dinner. We had a blast!!! Just tell them when you invite them.
Reply:Name the time and place then in small print maybe put dinner and drinks on your own expense. Put it after the RSVP date.

On compare people on facebook do you have to invite your friends to recieve your own rankings?

I'm a new facebook user and I want my friends to be able to vote for me on Compare People. Will I automatically be up for voting by just adding the application to my facebook? And if I am, how long does it take to display results? Or do I have to send invites to them telling them to vote?

Would you prefer a fancy snail mail invitation to a formal annual dinner or a fancy email invite?

I prefer snail mail..i like getting stuff in the mail.





Which one do you think is more appropriate?
Would you prefer a fancy snail mail invitation to a formal annual dinner or a fancy email invite?
Always snail mail for formal invitations. Email invites are only for less casual events, such as bachelorette parties, casual dinners or bowling trips.
Reply:If it's formal, definitely prefer to receive it snail mail... plus who doesn't like getting mail? (that's not junk for once!)...


E-vite is fine too... it's quick and doesn't stand a chance getting lost in transit.
Reply:More "appropriate", snail . . .





But I personally wouldn't care or take offense from something like that. I would just be happy to be invited . . .
Reply:Formal functions ALWAYS require formal invitations. Just because the world has e-mail, doesn't mean it has replaced polite society.
Reply:Email because I check it at least 3 times a day! My parents do regular mail.





Still, snail mail is more appropriate and formal.

Why do people invite their friends to their house?

Ever since I was younger than 10 years old , kids had the idea of inviting there friends to there house.





What is the main reason someone would want their friend in their house and where did this idea originally come from?





Thanks.
Why do people invite their friends to their house?
Well, I guess you could visit standing out on the sidewalk if you wanted to. Just seems like it would be more comfortable to go inside the house....and share your life with your friends.





Up to you.
Reply:The home is a very sacred place, it contains all your personal belongings, and it is where you live. By inviting people over to your house, it shows that you are welcoming them into your life.
Reply:It's about showing that sense of community and showing your friend that you are open and commited to the friendship.

How do companies like Coach get away with exclusive "invite only" sales?

Coach is having a Perferred Customer Event in which you get a 25% discount IF you're invited, but way back when my brother was in retail it was always explained to me that it was illegal to offer sale pricing to only a select few consumers. If they discounted any product in the store, it had to be offered to all who came through the door.





How does Coach get away with doing this PCE sale?
How do companies like Coach get away with exclusive "invite only" sales?
A lot of these things are really opened to everyone, but are called something misleading so that the customers they invite (which is typically every customer whose address they know) think it is a better deal than it is. I do not know if Coach is doing that.

What should I do about new friends who constantly invite themselves over?

My boyfriend and I ran into an old friend of his about a month ago and have since hung out with him and his girlfriend a few times. On Monday we all went to a local bar and the girlfriend kept saying how we should all hang out more often. My boyfriend and I agreed, out of politeness mostly. While we were leaving the bar his friend said we should get together again soon to which his girlfriend piped up "oh, we need some where to hang out tomorrow! We could come to y'alls place!" (referring to mine and my boyfriend's apartment). We simply shrugged it off and tried to make the best of it when they came over last night. Unfortunately, last night I noticed just how immature and annoying the girlfriend is. She does mean well, I honestly know that, but there's just something about her that drove me and my boyfriend up the wall. At the end of the night as they were leaving she said "ok, we'll come over again Monday!". I asked my boyfriend if he'd invited them over and he said he hadn't.
What should I do about new friends who constantly invite themselves over?
Break the appointment on Monday. The next time she tries it tell her you'll let her know when you will be free. Also, hopefully, she will get the hint if you keep breaking the appointments. If all else fails just tell her. Honesty is the best policy. Good luck, I know how you feel.
Reply:you have got a problem, but I suggest to reciprocate, I mean invite yourself over to their place, with your BF and 6 Dogs (rent some if you don't have any).


Of course there is a danger that the next time they come over they'll bring their pet elephant with them, and you know how big is an elephant's poop on your carpet.
Reply:Just tell them, that you should make it an occasional thing but not all the time because you have busy lifes.


Or say you should just catch up at the bar next time. But I would go with the top one. They should get the hint.
Reply:with people who invite them selves next time say oh lets go to your house for a change. and you have to confront them by saying i really like you but we cant always hang out with each other
Reply:Just tell them;i.e. her; that they are welcome when you and your boyfriend don't have anything else planned, but not to come over without calling first. If that won't work, just tell them it was nice knowing you, but no call, no visit. If they or she cannot act like a normal responsible adult, then they; read she; can forget it. Find new friends. If you give in once, you will end up ruining not only your lives but theirs as well, because they have gotten used to their lifestyle of ingratiating themselves on others and when you tell them no, they will tell all of their other 'so called' friends that you and your boyfriend are unsociable. Live with your decision and move on. They don't want to move on, which is why they are doing their we will move in soon thing. In my opinion and from my past experience.
Reply:Tell them, when they invite themselves over that you are busy, sorry...avoid these people and maybe they will take a hint...
Reply:These are "friends from hell." Your bf should tell his friend that you and your bf can't have them over on weekdays because you need time to rest and relax for work the next day. As for weekends, you would rather hang out outside of your house ie pubs, bars etc. If they don't get it, you need to tell the gf straight in her face you don't want to hang out with her anymore.
Reply:when shes due to come round shut all your curtains, lock your doors and hide upstairs in a room upstairs so shell think uurRee not in and when she fones you put your fone 2 silent then answer it go in your bathroom shut the door (bathrooms have thick doors so she wnt heaR) then say oh sorry im at the supermarket i completely forgot sorry


then say you're bf is ill so youre shopping 4 him


*hopefullyx*+** she'll go away nd leve u alone gd kl xxxxxx
Reply:When they said they were coming over Monday, you should have said, "I'm sorry, we'd love to have you, but unfortunately we have some personal things going on that we can't get into and will not be available then. Let's talk next week and we can set something up. Cheers!"
Reply:Maybe on Monday, if they decide to come over say "Oh my god, I didn't remember setting up a date with you guys...did I say seven? Because I have an appointment to go to..." (A lot of doctors have a "late night") or maybe just say "Me and John were just on our way out! I'm so sorry!"
Reply:I would tell them that you are busy and have many priorities to juggle, so you can't commit to a meeting now. If they show up unannounced, I have no problem issuing my regrets and closing the door.
Reply:well what i do is hide under the duvet and not answer the door!they will soon get fed up of calling over,oh and change your phone number,theres nothing worst than people coming over and you cant get rid of them!!!!!!!as for moving into your apartment block im afraid your going to drop the friendship or just meet them out in town or something NO going back to houses,just say your busy if none of this works i would move!!
Reply:You can just say that you guys are busy on Monday or that you're usually too tired or frazzled after work and wouldn't be much fun to be around.
Reply:OMG,You poor thing! I don't know what to say to you except ,you have to speak up now before its too late or forever hold your peace!!!!!!

Can any one help with ideas for a 21st invite?

Need help with a design for a 21st invitation. There is no theme for the party, colour theme for the invite is black, pink %26amp; silver. I am looking for a unique/individual idea. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Can any one help with ideas for a 21st invite?
Black card for background, with pink balloons on cover... have the balloons as cut outs, that split in the middle to open out and have the invitation details written in silver 'underneath' each balloon.





Have a trail of silver ribbon or silver puff paint leading down from each balloon and tied together in one corner..





When cutting the black card for the backing piece, measure to fit the envelope you want to use, then allow an extra tab, that you can score well and fold back behind the front of the card, on the bottom. This will act as the RSVP, so all your guests have to do is fill out their name and tick either acceptance or non acceptance, cut on score line, and post back to you.

Why should I invite Jesus into my life?

I do not want Jesus in my life. I strongly disagree with his "moral" principles. And for other reasons which I will not mention here.





Can anyone give me a good reason why I should invite Jesus into my life?
Why should I invite Jesus into my life?
Don't do it!





If Jesus is loving, he will understand that us Non Christian believers in God don't want to be associated with Christianity, right?
Reply:Well, He is God. He did die for you to pay your punishment for sin. And He did resurrect, defeating both sin and death. He is the most loving entity in the universe, by far. He is the wisest.





His moral principles are beyond what we are capable of living up to. Yet, His love is here anyway. His gift of salvation to you is only a prayer away. He is real.
Reply:Because he knows how to party!


He turns water into fkking WINE!





... -shrug- I'm a nihilist, so I don't follow that ethical crap anyway.


But if you're already dead-set against something, how can you expect anyone to change your mind?


I answered a non-serious question with an equally non-serious answer.
Reply:Because he has nice tea parties.





But seriously, No I can't tell you why you should invite Jesus into your life, because I never found a reason to do it myself.





I don't wanna worship someone like that, for oh so many reasons.
Reply:He offers the free gift of salvation. All you have to do is accept. You'll be judged either way. And as to the remark about big brother watching from another answerer...God is watching and waiting either way!!
Reply:He's a good carpenter and can build a heck of a nice book shelf for you, plus he's good at mowing lawns. Give Jesus a chance, he's a real nice guy. So what if he isn't technically a "resident".
Reply:you dont need me to tell you that .. when your down below low and you are humble enough to ask Him, He will show you what true love and help and peace really is ...
Reply:Which moral principals do you disagree with? And do you mind being specific?
Reply:No, you do not have to invite Jesus in your life. God or Jesus do not force themselves on anybody.
Reply:If you believe in an afterlife and Heaven or Hell depending on accepting Jesus into your life then that's a reason.
Reply:Well if you have any enemies, he might smite them for you.

How to un-invite children to a party?

I am hosting a scrapbooking party and would like to have it free from younger children mainly because we will have many scissors and other cutting tools laying about. How do I word this on the invitation without offending anyone? I don't mind having childer who are older like 11 or 12 who know how to use scissors and could sit calmly through the party. Help me with this tricky situation. Note: I have a 20 month old myself and my husband will be taking her out for the afternoon.
How to un-invite children to a party?
you can put "Lady's night out, give your self a break and pleas leave the little ones at home so our creativity can run with scissors"
Reply:This is a sticky situation to put yourself in, on the invitation just put children under whatever age, must be accompanied by a parent. And FYI, each child develops differently, you may have 7 year olds, who are more well behave and detail oriented than 11/12 year olds. Kids start learning how to use scissors in preschool and usually master this skill by age 4. So, regardless of how you word the invitation, if you put children 11 and over are welcomed, you're going to offend those parents with children who know how to use these tools. I can see not wanting a 2-3 year old there but an 9 year old......
Reply:You screwed up and there is no way around it but to call the parents and tell them what's up. They might think you are an insensitive person if you don't at least re-schedule the party to suit the younger kids if not, they may never make arrangements with you again if you hurt their kid's feelings.
Reply:I've been to lots of these!


First of all, on the invitation, put something like, "Ladies Night Out!" so that it comes across as maybe a break for moms.


Other than that, just say something like "Due to the nature of our party, I'd ask that those attending be 12 and older. There will be lots of things for little ones to get into."


Everyone will understand.


Have fuN!
Reply:Due to sharp instruments please do not bring children younger than 11 years old.





They may bring them anyway so just have a few toys, Crayons %26amp; coloring books available.
Reply:Just mention that the party is for people who are at least 15 years old or whatever minimum age you have decided for this party.
Reply:How about phrasing it positively instead of negatively: "Children 11 and up are welcome!"
Reply:on the invitations put "ALL-GROWN UP SCRAPBOOKING PARTY!! :) "


THAT should get the message out clear.
Reply:just put an age limit on your invitation. Say 11 and up please. Lots of tools that younger kids could get into.
Reply:Simple. Just send a mass email stating, 'No guttersnipes or urchins allowed'.



Reply:only adults,


My baby sister can handle only three kids at the time, please let me know if your child can join with mine
Reply:Say that you canceled the party and if they asked why just say that you have to go visit a sick friend or something.
Reply:Go back to your house.

Is anyone else too embarrassed of their home to invite anyone over?

My cat has peed on my carpet (in 2 places) and I can't seem to get the smell out. The living room carpet is all stained from when my son was little and a holy terror. I can't keep up with dusting and straightening and have a small house and have run out of places to put things. isn't there anyone else like me?
Is anyone else too embarrassed of their home to invite anyone over?
It sounds as if you are being too hard on yourself. You might be overwhelmed. I know I get like that at times. Don't try to do it all at once. Work on one room at a time, get rid of stuff you really don't need. I had a yard sale and made alittle cash. It could be a good idea for you to do as well. And remember people don't always see what we see, when I visit my friend I always see the niceness and not what is wrong and I'm just glad to be spending time with my friends.

I wouldn't think twice about it!
Reply:I'd make sure the person isnt a weirdo first. Sometimes you dont' realize they are strange, and before you know it, they know where you live! I'd say within meeting/hanging out with them at least 5 times.





If a guy asks a girl out, i think its automatic that the guy may be interested in the girl? If not, make it clear you are not interested so no one tries anything funny? haha
Reply:Depends how much you hang out with them, or how often you do things together. I think you have to trust them first (likewise, they also have to trust you) and then you can invite them to your house. Maybe few weeks or months.
Reply:Depends on what kind of friend. I have friends that I do things with who have never been to my home, nor I to theirs.





Most of the time, if I judge that they will fit in with my family, then I invite them over as soon as possible.
Reply:6 months for me, it also takes me a whole year to trust someone. I don't have many friends but the friends I do have I know I can trust them and they are quality friends.

In average, I'd say wait a couple of months. Let the friendship marinate.

How can I invite politicians to be guest speakers?

How can I invite politicians to be guest speakers?
you'd probably have your best luck with local politicians then, like in your state or town. Some of them may come in to talk, out of the goodness of their hearts.





You don't get that kind of luck with many national politicians though.
Reply:Get an idea of the politicians who your group would like to invite. Politicians like the college crowd. Often they can pick up a few volunteers. Have your group decide if the news press is welcome at your events. Some of the politicians will ask the make up of your group by party. If you can avoid being branded as an organization in favor of one particular party, good for you!!





Check out their web site for contact information. Most of them have a chief of staff or a coordinator whom you can approach by phone or letter. Snail mail is better, but you can try email or fax.





Check out this link for someone to brainstorm with:

Good Luck !!!
Reply:$$$. If you have a fundraiser and enough money to make it worth their time, they will come. You probably have to hit up those attending, though.
Reply:With elections coming up, many politicians already have their schedules booked. The good news for you however, is that you can usually get a copy of their scheduled stops ahead of time, and plan a trip with your group. Otherwise, city, and county officials are your best bet. I would contact their office directly.

Open your guide button, select your friends list and move to the right to see your recent players list. These are all of the non-friends you have recently played with. You can then open their gamer profile and invite them to a game if they allow it. You may not want to do this since most people get annoyed when people they don't know send them invites.

Reply:You will get a notification if they accept - unless you turned those notifications off.
Reply:If you can only partially access their page, then they are probably not on your friends list. Some people do not have their page set to private, so you can see part of their page even if you are not "friends" with them. If you never received a notification that they accepted. look on your page to see if it was posted. It will always be posted on your "wall" if you become friends with someone.

Why should I invite Jesus into my life?

I do not want Jesus in my life. I strongly disagree with his "moral" principles. And for other reasons which I will not mention here.





Can anyone give me a good reason why I should invite Jesus into my life?
Why should I invite Jesus into my life?
I am more concerned with the "moral" principles of Jesus that you do not agree with. Do you not agree with and want to accept the "Jesus" that is portrayed by the majority of "Christians" or the Jesus that is in the Bible? Most people don't actually know the Jesus of the Bible because so many Christians have sickened them with their judgmental condemnations that most will turn away from everything about Jesus. Please send me an email and let me know. I am truly curious about this and would not want anyone to accept Jesus if they don't agree with him or want to be like him. But I'm speaking of the Jesus of the Bible not the one most "Christians" pretend to know.
Reply:You disagree with his moral principles? Pretty much the only thing the Jesus story makes sense on is the way in which he treated people. To disagree with his morality would be stating that you believe rape, murder, persecution and discrimination were all fine and good. He befriended almost everyone he met and gave the same respect to both the pious and the prostitutes (if anything he gave more to the latter). His story promotes love and peace amongst everyone regardless of social standing, race and he even went as far as religious tolerance; what's to disagree with?
Reply:Trust me, I'd rather believe that there was Jesus and find out that there wasnt than believe that there wasn't Jesus and find out that there was. His morals are simple, reasonable, good, and easy to follow. I am MUCH happier when I invited Jesus to my life. I love God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I don't care how many thumbs down I get, this is how I feel and if you don't want to invite him to your life, that's alright. Not my problem :]
Reply:Well, if for no other purpose that you can see then I guess just so you are not cast into the lake of fire after you die and are judged....Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Reply:I can give you a good reason why you shouldn't invite Jesus into your life...for one he is no more the son of God than you or I...


The creative principle doesn't need anyone or anything to die for your sins... the Jews that wrote the bible don't even believe in Jesus themselves... because they know that the creative principle doesn't judge the world and you shouldn't either...Jesus of the bible didn't even exist until Constantine created the Lamb of God at the meeting of Nicaea...


As a child I always had questions about Jesus but no one really knew much about him...especially until he was 33 years old... my brother had to explain to me why I should worship him as the son of God...because the Jews were Gods chosen people... I felt if God had chosen people why did he create me then... no one could answer that...but I was taught what my parents and their parents before them were taught. Never stopped wondering though...


the bible is a book of allegories... never meant to be taken as the literal truth only for the Jews so that the leaders could control a group of savages... like most people were before the creation of monotheist belief


If you read the bible carefully you will realize that none of it really makes any sense and the books of the new testament are actually referring to more than one Jesus...rabbi Jesus, Jesus the Zealot, Jesus etc. In the old testament all the stories are taken from the cradle of civilization Egypt! The Jews put their name on it...there is a difference between a Jew and a Hebrew many don't realize that...


The references to Egypt, Babylon, Canaan are all references to material things...


God is not a man and has no human characteristics...so he does not need to sit on a thrown and give orders, have temper tantrums because we are not good and kill off entire races of people because they did something to another race of people that he chose as his own... Abraham never existed either nor Jacob... or Noah...


The earth is alive


I'm saying all this to say... Rabbi Jesus did have a message after studying in the Egyptian Mystery Schools... he the one they ran out of town...the other never died on the cross because he gave that job to the man that helped him carry the cross to it's destination...Simon the only Black man when anybody with common sense knows back then everybody was more than likely Black in that part of the world accept for the choice few and they more than likely had a tan.


That message was that you don't need religious leaders wearing fancy clothes back then or now re-enforcing false beliefs ... putting ridiculous demands on you as a person....he never walked water but the Sun of God... rays of light do walk across the river, seas and oceans... think about it...The Sun of God


the thing that every eye shall see coming in the heavens..


we see it everyday.


Just live your life and treat others the way you would like to be treated...we are all connected...one and the same because God is what he creates ...lets top the madness
Reply:Because without him you will never see the beauty of heaven. Without Jesus Christ your soul will be forever lost. You will stand in the fires of hell watching the Christians above you live in peace and love with God. The creator of the whole universe. That's why.
Reply:Because he will change your view about life.

How do you invite your minister to your wedding?

I'm not sure how to go about inviting my minister (who is marrying us) to our wedding.


Do I send him (and his wife) an invitation?


Do I ask him personally?





What's the correct etiquette with this sort of thing?
How do you invite your minister to your wedding?
If he is marrying you, mail or hand deliver a regular invitation that is clearly addressed to include his wife. If you mail it, mention it breifly to him or his wife such as: Are you going to be at the reception? Or Will you be able to attend the rehearsal dinner?





Make certain that the reception, rehearsal dinner or any other festivities you are having have been included in the invitation (essentially making it clear that while he is officiating the wedding he and his wife are also personally invited to any/all other wedding related events).





I followed up with a call to my pastor's wife just to make sure, but I think that isn't required. I just did it because I didn't really know her and wanted to make sure that she felt welcome to the rehearsal dinner and reception.
Reply:Hello,





I think it depends on whether the Minister is a friend or you want to invite him as the leader of your congregation. If a friend, I would send your chosen invitation with a note saying that you are so pleased to be have your friend marrying you.





If as your pastor, I would personally ask and hand him an invitation as a keepsake. I wouldn't worry about labelling this as etiquette, rather following what you feel most comfortable with.





Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding. May you always be as happy as you are today.
Reply:Do you mean to the reception? Just speak to him personally, well ahead of time, and tell him you will be very happy if he and his wife can attend the reception as well. Then hand him a wedding invitation that includes directions to the reception site. Also, you could separately phone his wife, because some ministers have the reputation of being a bit absent-minded.
Reply:It would be good form to send him and his wife a regular invitation, even though the reverend knows about this already and has most likely noted it in his calendar. You could write a very short personal note to him and his wife on the invitation itself.
Reply:You got me. If he's going to be marrying you, isn't the invitation kind of implied? I suppose you could send him one though. I never thought about that. We were married by my husbands brother, a bishop. His mom sent the invites out to his side of the family, so he probably got one.
Reply:I'd send him an invitation just address it to MR. and MRS "their last name" so it's official that you are inviting his family as well.
Reply:You would MAIL an invitation to him and his wife. Mailing is the proper thing to do. Do not use Mr. %26amp; Mrs. Instead, use


The Reverand and Mrs.
Reply:Say, " hey minister, come to my wedding".
Reply:Send him an invitation.

Reply:Due to the past abuse of the invite feature, a group owner or moderator combined can only send 50 invites per 24 hours. looks to me like it'll take 20 days to invite 1000 e-mails and if you do not personally know each owner of those addresses, you risk the group being deleted due to abuse.

How do you "invite" all your friends to a myspace event.?

The problem is that myspace does not allow you to invite all your friends. When you are promoting a gig for a band this is a problem. Anyone know how to do it or if there is a free tool or even a "mass comment" would be helpfull.

Will Obama invite his friend over to the White House for Black and Milds and Bacardi?

When will democrats be open minded enough to invite a republican to speak at their convention ?

2004 yosemite sam spoke at republican convention and today sen joe lieberman a former dem veep candidate is going to speak why is it closed minded republicans are willing to give so floor time to the opposition but open minded dems will not ?
When will democrats be open minded enough to invite a republican to speak at their convention ?
Representative Leach, a Republican, spoke at this year's Democratic convention.





Also, Lieberman is NOT a Democrat, he only caucuses with them.





Next question.
Reply:Probably never, there are not many open minded democrats, they are to busy digging up any dirt or mud they can possibly find on the opposition to be fair, these tactics have been advanced and fine tuned to a higher level by the Clinton's and now this mud slinging is there trademark. Truth and fairness is not the type of contest that appeals to the majority of democrats, it is not in there genes. The best thing that could happen to this country is to split the Democratic party into two groups, the Liberals (socialists) and responsible Democrats (FDR/Truman types).
Reply:There were many at the DNC.


Oh, I'm sorry, you were too busy nitpicking to listen, weren't you?





And Lieberman is no Democrat. He got booted out some time ago.
Reply: When they stop fearing that people will listen to the truth and not


just be swayed by hopes of change and empty promises made by


rookie Senators.

If I invite 70 guests to my wedding, how many will show?

I know that often for a party with a large guest list, the rule of thumb is that 50-60% of the invited guests will come. Is it the same for weddings? Also, half or more of the guest list is out of state.
If I invite 70 guests to my wedding, how many will show?
Good luck with this one (and good luck with your big day!).





We invited 150, 120 RSVP'd and about 135 showed up a the actual wedding. Most were out of state, too.





If there is a rule about this one, I just don't know!





Enjoy!
Reply:A lot of good answers here. Can you elaborate on why you ask...is it money or size of the venue?





I would send 9 week invites out to an A list. Put an RSVP date of 6 weeks before the wedding. Delegate a bridesmaid to follow up the calls (don't send to someone who's phone number you do not have.) Once you know how many you have there, send a B list invite out with a 3 week RSVP date and get another brisdesmaid to call the non repliers.





Confide in both mothers and the maid of honor what you are doing to control the RSVPs. If someone is throwing a shower make sure they are on either the B list or A list but not until the invites for the B go out.





Some people who cannot make the wedding may still want to attend your shower or send a gift.





I hope this helps.





Also so few people get married these days that folks are happy to attend! I can't imagine why someone would decline unless double booked, far away or too cheap to give a gift.
Reply:There is no formula to predict how many will attend. Some people say that the rule is 2/3 but that is not true for most people. Be prepared for everyone invited to show but expect that not everyone will. You will get a ballpark figure when you receive rsvps and then call anyone who didn't bother to send their's in. But otherwise, there is no way to tell, despite what people will try to convince you of.
Reply:NO IT IS NOT!!!! We were only budgeted for about 150 people but ended up inviting much more because my mother-in-law insisted they would not come but would send money or a pesent. We had 200 people accept. ALL of my hubby's family is from New Jersey. We live in Florida. They made the trip. BEWARE!
Reply:I would say 34-45 will show:) Good luck to you!

How to invite people to join venture?

I have just joined an e-com business. Wonder how to change people mindset to start do a small business?
How to invite people to join venture?
You need a good business report. Investors look for profits. In your report, you need to inform about:


1. market knowledge,


2. the intended target market,


3. capital,


4. inventory cost,


5. overheads,


6. breakeven duration,


7. business strategy for immediate 6mths, 1 year, next 2 years, etc.


Without all these, nobody will throw money. They rather keep it in the bank and earn low interest.
Reply:It is difficult. You must have good program to attract people to join in. The most important thing is how your program yeilds profit and so on. People don't invest money without learning about the performance and earning profit.
Reply:you don't change people mindset but just give them the knowledge. explain to them clearly how good your biz could bring to them. if you feel it is hard to get them to join you would it what they would feel when they are trying to get other people join their biz. do you want that to happen to them. i don't. i want them to succeed before having the satisfaction in doing my biz.
Reply:My opinion is that you will find more success if you look for people already looking to start a small business. Changing peoples mind takes a lot of energy. Focus that energy into telling a story why your business is what they are looking for.

How to invite someone to the reception but not the ceremony?

well we are having a small ceremony with immediate family only. and we are planning on having a big reception with everyone after the ceremony at our hall..and i was wondering how to word it on the invite that seating is limited, but they can join us for the celebration?? and do i print it on the same paper as the invitations to the wedding ceremony?? thanks
How to invite someone to the reception but not the ceremony?
On your invites, write this:


___ is pleased to announce the marriage of his daughter, bride's name, to groom's name, son of _____ on the 22nd of May of 2009.


We request your presence at a reception held in their honor on the 23rd of May at the little white chapel located at (address).


Then, on a separate piece of paper, write:


We would love the pleasure of your company at the wedding ceremony at (time) and (place). That way, you don't have to worry about two separate invites and you can slip one in to whom you want at the wedding, and not have to worry about the others. If they are offended, don't worry about it. It's your day. Not theirs.
Reply:You need two separate invitations. One for the ceremony and one for the reception.





Those invited to the ceremony will receive a ceremony invitation and a reception invitation.





Send out an invitation for the reception only to those who are not invited to the wedding. No mention of the wedding time or place should be made in that invitation.





Give the time, place, etc. and say it is a reception to celebrate the marriage of bride and groom on whatever date it happens..
Reply:Here's what you do:





Make all the invitations say "The honor of your presence is requested at the marriage reception of so and so and so and so" and THEN slip a little insert into all of the invitations for the people who are also invited to the reception. It's easier and that way you don't have to come up with two kinds of invitations.
Reply:I'm doing the same thing. The ceremony is only going to be close friends and family. We're sending out the same invitations but wording them differently. Here are some ideas.





Bride


and


Groom


will be married in a private ceremony on (Date.)


Together with our families, we invite you to join us afterwards at a reception to celebrate our marriage.


Time


Place





(Parents Name)


request the honor of your presence


at the wedding reception of


our daughter


Your Name


and


Fiance's Name


Date


Address, etc.





Hope this helps...Good Luck:)
Reply:I am doing the same thing. I am sending invitation that say wedding and reception for family and just sending invites for reception for everyone else. That way you don't have to explain why not both. I am just going to word the reception only with something like "you are invited to attend the wedding reception of blah and blah" . Haven't really figured the perfect wording but that might be my next question. lol
Reply:I personally would not attend a reception if I were not invited to the wedding. I do not know how you would go about telling someone that they are not close/important enough to go to the wedding, but are allowed to the reception.
Reply:no matter how you word it its going to be bazaar, why would you exclude people from your ceremony but want them at the reception? Just elope and come back and have a party.
Reply:I would say that the marriage is taking place in a private ceremony and that their presence is requested in the celebration following at....
Reply:I'm also having a smaller, intimate ceremony and a large everyone's-invited reception. I think it's silly for anyone to be upset that they weren't invited to the ceremony, but are invited to the reception. That's like saying you won't go to a party celebrating the birth of a baby because you weren't invited to be in the delivery room. lol A wedding ceremony is a very intimate and sacred thing, as far as I'm concerned. It's not a public affair. That's the one part of the whole day that is really just for the bride and groom.





We sent out "reception" invitations that said this:





Bride


%26amp;


Groom


together with their families,


request the pleasure of your company


at a reception celebrating their wedding





on Saturday, the twenty-eighth of February


two thousand and nine





Reception will take place at The Place


Address, town





Cocktails and hors 'oeuvres will be served at half past five,


followed at half past six by dinner and dancing.








The people invited to the ceremony got a similar invite with slightly different wording (including the ceremony info). We invited aunts and uncles, but not cousins, since our ceremony site can only hold 70 people and cousins would put us well over that. The little kids that can sit on a lap are ok, but the older kids won't be able to come. We decided to start the reception just after the ceremony starts, so that the kids can hang out there (there will be older teens and adults there too to watch them) and have fun. The ceremony will only be about 15 minutes, so the kids will only be without their parents for maybe half an hour.





I also want to remind anyone who might say that an invitation to only the reception is the same as saying "you aren't important enough to come to the ceremony, but please give us a gift" that a gift is never a requirement! Your presence at our celebration is enough of a gift! So please respect the couple's privacy during a very intimate moment, and attend the party- with or without a gift!

How to invite people in my 360 page ?

Hi ! Door is open to new friends,thank you.
How to invite people in my 360 page ?
- Either use the "Invite" page and follow the instructions here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/fri... . This feature is MAINLY for inviting people who are already in your Yahoo! Mail address book OR your Yahoo! Messenger buddy list.


- Or go to a person's page and click the "Add" link under their personal profile picture (if visible). Make sure to check the "Invite As a Friend" box before sending the invitation.





In all cases, the person needs to go to their 360 mailbox and ACCEPT the invitation so that they show up in your contact list, friends list, and friends module.





If everyone is connected to each other, then you will see a "blue person icon" next to their name under the "Contacts" box (left side, bottom) on your 360 "Home" page. If you see a green cross, either one of you hasn't accepted (or sent) an invitation. That can happen if you click the "Add" link under a person's profile picture on their 360 page and chose to send the invitation as a FAVORITE, rather than a FRIEND. This means you opted not to select the "Invite as a Friend" box before submitting the invite. People are also Favorites until they accept your invitation. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/ca/yahoo/360/fri... for more information about Favorites. You can have up to 300 connections, but only 100 outstanding invitations at once.





There are communications settings to consider - click your "Edit Contact Settings" link under your personal profile picture on the "My Page." Make sure they are set to "Everyone in 360" for now (or "Friends of Friends" if you are under age 18). You can always change it whenever you want.





If you find that your invitation isn't working, it could be for the following reasons:


1) If a person's Yahoo! 360 page is not activated, you will not be able invite them. It will say that they are not accepting invitations at this time. Everyone has 360 attached to their Yahoo account, but it stays dormant until it is activated (i.e. used for the first time). If the invite is sent to an address other than a Yahoo-related one, then it won't work.


2) If they have an activated 360 page, but their Communications Settings are set to "Friends of Friends" instead of "Everyone 360" in terms of invitations - and you are not a "Friends of Friends" - then your invitation will not be received.


3) They denied the invitation.


4) You are on the person's "ignore" list, thus communications from you are not received. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/fri... for more information.


5) People may have problems with their mailboxes that could prevent the sending and receiving of messages (like invitations) for a long time.

If I invite my daughter's friend and her mom with us to the museum, does that mean I have to pay for them?

I was planning on taking my daughter to the museum tomorrow. It would be fun to have her friend and her mom along with us, but if I invite them does that mean I have to pay for their tickets? It's pricey enough as it is just for my daughter and me, and I can't afford to pay for them as well.
If I invite my daughter's friend and her mom with us to the museum, does that mean I have to pay for them?
no, it doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay for them, but just make sure they don't expect you to.





just let them know that they have to pay, but discreetly.


when you call, or talk, or however you decide to invite them, mention the day time, and the price of the tickets. that's an easy way to let them know that you want them to go, but that they'll have to come up with their own ticket money.





i hope it works out, and i hope i helped at least a bit.





good luck =]
Reply:I don't think you should pay for them and I certainly wouldn't expect you too either if I was in that situation. Just make sure when asking her you phrase it correctly if you are concerned about her getting the wrong idea. If you were just taking her daughter than you probably should pay for her but not if the mother will be there too.
Reply:I wouldn't think so... I mean if you kind of make it clear that your going dutch...LOL.. Im sure the mother knows how high it is to get in. I don't think she would think that you would pay for them too. At least I hope not..... Have fun, and best wishes
Reply:"Would you like to join me and (daughter) to go to the museum tomorrow, it only costs $_____. It would be fun to have you and (her daughter) come along for company."
Reply:Yes unless you have made a prior agreement that you all are going to pay separately, maybe you could explain to them in advance how much it costs and see what they say?
Reply:No. Just make sure that when you ask you tell her approximately how much it will cost. This gives her the opportunity to say no if her budget does not allow her to go.
Reply:~~No, just tell them the hours, and the cost of entry. Then they will expect to pay.~~

Do you think it is rude not to invite my boyfriends mother to my families Xmas dinner?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years now and we live together and his mom kept hinting that they haven't been invited anywhere for xmas day dinner (they are doing xmas eve). Do you think that I should invite her? Even though I'm not the one in my family doing the dinner? They have met my family before. But I know my boyfriend doesn't really want them there.


Oh and if she asks how should I tell her no if that's your answer?


Thanks

If I invite my friends for a birthday dinner, should I pay for their meals or should they pay for themselves?

Every year when i have a birthday dinner, I usually pay for my friends meal because i feel bad not paying if I officially invited them.


I'm throwing a birthday party this year, but this time im inviting 20+ friends,should I pay for all of them again???


P.S -I'm providing the cakes and paying my meal.
If I invite my friends for a birthday dinner, should I pay for their meals or should they pay for themselves?
The general rule of thumb is the one who invites also pays. However, since they're your friends, and there are many of them, I don't see why you can't ask them to come and celebrate your birthday at Whatever Restaurant, with the stipulation that they will be responsible for their own tab.





As long as you're very clear about that up front, I don't see a problem. If they can't afford to (or would rather not) buy their own meals, tell them they're still welcome to come by for a slice of cake after dinner.
Reply:God - you're all a backward lot! I invite my friends out to a big dinner once a month, no way in heck do they expect me to pay, any more than I expect them to pay for me when they organise it. I would never expect to be paid for if I'm invited to something, that's just ridiculous and an idea that belongs in the 50s.





If you're going out to dinner you absolutely do NOT have to pay for everyone. The only problem here is that you've set a precedent of paying in the past, so you need to be quite upfront about them paying for their own meals.





On the other hand, if you're having a party at your own house, yes, you would be expected to pay for the food but where I come from just about everyone would also bring a plate so there'd be plenty to go around.
Reply:You are planning the party, so you have the luxury of planning something you can afford to host. If you can't buy a meal for 20 people, invite them for coffee or brunch or tea or etc. These days everybody is counting pennies - I would hate to decline a birthday invitation from a good friend, but if it comes with a twenty dollar price tag, I will say no. I'm OK eating cheap at home, and I can't afford a restaurant meal.
Reply:I think it depends on if it's a formal or casual thing.


If you send out invitations, do all the planning, etc., then you're responsible for paying for the food.


If it's an informal, "hey let's go out to eat this weekend, it's my birthday!" get-together, then they all pay their own way.


With my friends, the birthday girl doesn't do the planning or inviting, and we all pay for her meal.
Reply:THis entirely depends on how well off you are. If you are not a well off person and can't afford to treat your friends you should say something like this to them. "Oh by the way it's my birthday on xxxxx. A few friends and myself are going to dinner at xxxxx. Quite a lot of people will be coming this year, so I am asking people to expect to pay for their own meal which will cost about xx . We will probably just pass a hat round or something and maybe everyone could put in enough to cover their own drinks and meal."





It is very common to do this nowadays.





Make sure they let you know definitely whether they are coming or not before you make the final booking at the restaurant.
Reply:Friends only pay for your birthday if they want to give you a surprise party. If its you who is planning to have one , I think it should be proper that you shoulder all the expenses.





Other type of friends bring food with them to surprise you, God bless them but do not rely on such supply in your budget, planned for the number of heads to come after verifying if they are coming over or not.
Reply:my classmate invited me to go see a movie, i asked if she was paying and she looked at me as if i should know the answer......i had to pay. we didn't even sit next to each other since it was so packed and my mom end up having to pay for this dumb boy who was not old enough to get in by himself to see the movie "blade 2" so if you're inviting someone to a party, you supply everything.
Reply:lf you are actually having a party at your home....then you supply the food.You can supply some drinks...but if they drink alcohol then this is up to them.


When dining out at a restaurant you could upfront invite them to share your night out but l think most people would or should be prepared to pay their way.
Reply:You're having a party and you want your friends to pay for it? I don't think so. If you can't afford the number of people you invited then cut the number down. Have a "Bring a dish to pass" party at your place and share your time with your friends.
Reply:I would say that these ppl should pay for your meal since it is your birthday. If you have already set the precedent that you pay (and it sounds like you have) then you need to make it clear that they are paying for their own.
Reply:I think you should pay the meal. Even though it's a lot of people, some of the guets may get mad or say something if they have to pay themselves. I hope this helped.
Reply:Before you send the invitations, make sure to clearly write on them that the meal is self-pay so there is no misunderstanding.
Reply:You should pay for your friends, unfortunately, haha =]
