Cool! I'm in! Turns out my invite went out later than my friend's because she didn't know my dbf's last name.
Thanks for all the advice! I probably should have waited, but at least now I know I can shop for new shoes.
I really don't know what to wear.
Now we know the real reason for your anxiety. :pQuote:

Glad it got resolved. I had the same thing happen with a save the date card (won't be abbreviating that one...) - except that I really wasn't invited (no idea why), and fell totally out of contact with the couple for years. And I haven't forgotten who didn't RSVP to my (very small) wedding, either. Or who called to say he was bringing uninvited family (we had ~10 people at our wedding, cut it off at aunts and uncles, except for one....)

No need for new shoes--wear those Frye Harness Boots!Quote:

tulip - they are a relatively new concept. They were originally made popular by destination weddings where the entire wedding (party & guests) would be flying somewhere vacation-y.
We got married in 2003 and even then, many, many people hadn't heard of them. (I got more calls from people asking if that was the invite or in an invite would follow even though the included letter said "invite to follow" :confused: ) Oh, and to be clear, we did not send S-T-D's (is that better?) to all our guests, just to those that had to travel by air.
Well, I got married in Paris and everyone came who was invited. We certainly kept the guest list small, though. It was not a destination wedding, it was just where my (now former) DH is from. It was a very nice wedding, though. I highly recommend Paris for a romantic wedding.
Sorry for the threadjack. Married in Paris? I don't get jealous about much when it comes to weddings, but Paris is my happy place. You mentioned that you lived there. What arrondisement? Did I mention that I'm jealous?
As for the OP's shoes, I vote for red Maryjane Keens.
RedRhodie, if you are going to be up here on Patriot's Weekend, we can go for a ride!
Thanks, Crankin, but I'm not bringing my bike (one less thing to worry about). I had my car broken into the last time I spent the night in Boston, in the hotel garage.
I will come to one of your rides sometime, though!
