etiquette question

That said, to send a STD but not invite the person is horribly tacky.

Actually, sending a STD is tacky no matter what. Beyond tacky.

I just spit apple on my work computer. Great now I have to go find that LCD cleaner so the IT guys don't get mad. There goes my break- thanks Sadie!

This acronym is sort of like VD for Valentine's Day and should probably be avoided.

Oh, my...STD went right over my head.

That would be tacky.

Oh geez, me too. It still took me a few seconds after reading your post to realize there was a joke there beyond Miss Manners or someone frowning on a Save the Date card, which I'd never heard of before this thread. Ha!

Took me awhile too - I thought "what is wrong with STD cards - I think they are quite considerate"

DUH - talk about non divergent thinking!

lol @ STD cards!
One of my volunteer duties at a clinic when I was in college was addressing cards to the 'reported contacts' of patients. "You may have been exposed to..."

Good one.

STD is an abbreviation I use constantly in my job. However there, it means Severely Toxic Dose. But you should have seen the look on my face that first day when it was all STD this and STD that. I was like - what the heck did I get myself in to? I finally broke down and asked someone, who just laughed since as I've learned, it is a common mistake with new folks on the job.

Actually, a StD was appropriate in this case. The wedding is in Boston the same weekend as the marathon, and lots of guests will be travelling. Booking a room within 6 weeks would be problematic.

Thanks for the insight so far. Thinking about how to word an email to the bride. I think I will wait another week in case it comes.

I have gotten 2 pieces of mail delivered to my box that were not mine last week, so there is an issue with my mail.

Well you could say that. And you could also say you just wanted to not be "that person" that didn't RSVP. I have been married 5 years I still remember who didn't RSVP.
