That one works for me. Looks great! You might add that "There will be ice tea and appetizers provided at no cost for those who do not wish to order a full meal." But then you need to make sure you have lots.

I wouldn't even mention the freebies. It will just be a nice surprise. Annie, you could make a couple of tabletop signs (upside down V) for the table--to invite people to enjoy the free tea and appetizers.

I think you should add it if you think there are people who might not have a dinner out in their budget and would not otherwise attend. But if you don't feel that is an issue, then don't even mention it.

that won't be a problem for this group, Julie. I think if people see chips and stuff on the tables they will know it's free cause most restaurants down here do that already.

I like the last one Annie. It lets everyone know what they need to know. What day will mine be arriving in the mail?

Urgrace, Sorry but I disagree with those who think that wearing bright red to ANY wedding is ok. For the same reason that guests at a wedding should not wear white, guests should not wear anything other than subtle colors. The bride is the star of the show. Any outfit or color that you wear that distracts attention from the bride is not acceptable. And frankly, thinking in Miss Manners mindset, why would you want to wear bright red to a wedding?

Good golly, I think red is fine for a wedding guest. Only thing I ever heard is not to wear white. Now I wonder what Miss Manners actually would say? Huh! Well, here's one: http://wedding.lifetips.com/cat/7256/wedding-guests/index.html You can wear red to a big city wedding, but down in the sticks they frown on it. LOL. And if the weather at the wedding is hot, you are encouraged to wear strapless red or fuschia. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6081436/

Thank you all for your comments about wearing red. My wedding consultant sister advised me that it is okay - besides the grandmother can wear any color she chooses, which I had forgotten, so I think I might wear it after all! LOL I looked at a few wedding sites and there was lots of red. The white dresses seemed odd.

Tex, mine did too! Were you a Christmas or Valentine bride? I got married near Valentine's Day and red is my favorite color.

Texannie, Where do you live in Texas that people drink unsweet tea? I'm close to Fort Worth, and the tea around here has so much sugar in it, it almost makes your teeth disintegrate as soon as it enters your mouth!

Gradstudent, Annie is in Houston. I'm in south central and they have mostly unsweetened tea here, too, unless you go to local establishments away from the tourists.

I was just in Houston and the tea came unsweetened. In Pittsburgh restaurants the tea is usually unsweetened unless you order a flavored one like peach or something.

Maybe it's just my neighborhood. I've had to start specifying unsweetened tea, cause I just can't drink liquid sugar! And half the time I have to send it back cause they forgot and brought sweet... Interesting. Thanks for all of your answers!

I wonder what Miss Manners would have said about my niece's red and white wedding gown? And you've never seen a bride more anxious for her honeymoon because she was probably one of the last 22-year-old virgins.

LOL! Too funny. My friend, who is a drop dead gorgeous man, former marine, clean cut, good job, did I mention gorgeous, sexy, nice, caring, and a real "family" type man, was 28 before he lost his virginity. He was waiting for the "right girl". Too bad that couldn't have been me. I would have let him practice for the "right girl"
