my sister has a 5yr old and a 3yr old to her ex hes just been married, he only invited hes 5yr old son and not hes 3yr old daughter....
Is it wrong 4 a father to only invite 1 of hes 2 kids to hes wedding?
Yes. Not inviting his daughter, who is supposed to be one of the most important people in his life, makes no sense to me and it probably won't to his daughter when she is older. Is there some sensible reason he's inviting only his son? This makes no sense to me really...
Reply:well yes because that is very disrespectful...respect for your family is very very important in any family...it almost decides the fait of how well the family gets along...
you should convince your dad to invite her....and besides its not like he has a bad relationship with a 3yr old....unless he doesn't want kids to be running around...then that is just mean...old crank mean hahaha
Reply:WHAT???? THATS SO WRONG, WHY WOULDNT HE INVITE HIS OWN DAUGHTER THATS JUST DISGUSTING. WHAT A JERK.
Reply:my husband has two kids
one was not invited
she was very hurt

Can someone give me a blackcats-games invite?
I didn't login when they changed the site to have the "special login" , so my account is inaccessible. Best answer to anyone who gives me an invite.
Can someone give me a blackcats-games invite?
currently no invite is in effect since December. your best bet is to hang out at their irc channel #waitingroom at irc.blackcats-games.net:6667.
even then your chance of getting invites are slim since they give out a batch once every 3 yrs or something

Anyone willing to send me a demonoid invite?
I had a demonoid account but my ex thought it'd be perfect payback to change my pass and then delete my email account. So would anyone be willing to send me an invite to halfway_house89@yahoo.com? Please?

AGree or Disagree:? Notre Dam should un-invite obama because he supports Murdering Babies: and Catholics are n?
Against MUrder and ABortion? So why is this a hard thing? Un-invite obama--and why should he get an honorary anything from an elite University that is established on moral principles that the obamas lack? Would you want him there?
AGree or Disagree:? Notre Dam should un-invite obama because he supports Murdering Babies: and Catholics are n?
Obama condones the wholesale slaughter of innocent babies. He should not speak at Notre Dame because he hates Christians.
Reply:Although it calls itself a Catholic university, hardly any vestiges of the truth faith remain at Notre Dame University. That's why I'm not surprised that they have given honors to, and invited a man to speak, that espouses moral views that are diametrically opposed to the Catholic faith.
Not surprised.......but still saddened. The strong and faithful priests who founded that college would be horrified to see some of things that are going on at Notre Dame.
Because I don't expect anything "Catholic" from Notre Dame, I don't expect them to uninvite Obama. Just like I don't expect Nancy Pelosia to retract her pro-abortion views. She's no more a faithful Catholic than NC is a faithful Catholic college.
Why expect good fruit from a rotting tree? I just pray for them all. That God will "bring them to life" again.
And I agree with Aleria - Catholic students and faculty at ND who ARE loyal to the Church have many outlets for expressing their discontent (letters, calls, protests, etc.) and I would encourage them all to make use of them.
Peace be to you all+
Reply:Obama is a staunch Christian, heavily and regularly-practicing. I find it preposterous that anyone would make statements claiming his lack of religion, when facts truly are facts, and you absolutely cannot deny them.
And, as far as him speaking at a university, it just seems silly to "un-invite" him. This is a free country, and he is the President of the country, so whether or not we hear/see him speak at the university, we'll see/hear him elsewhere. The only statement this "un-invitation" will make is one of utter intolerance for others' opinons.
Reply:I agree, but unfortunately, the choice is not up to me.
Many of the graduating class are not Catholic and even though it is a Catholic college, the graduating class gets to choose who they want to speak.
I would have no problem with Obama going if he was there to debate abortion, contraception or Catholicism, but I am very upset that he is going to give the commencement speech and also receive an honorary degree.
I am glad to see that many people, including their own Arch Bishop, have refused to attend, but I'm afraid they will not pull back the invitation. As much as students are upset over the choice, many students feel it wouldn't be right to uninvite him.
I do wish he would be though...

Sex Education?? Abortion is not sex education and abstinance does work. I'm 23 years old and I practiced abstinance all the way up to my marriage six months ago. Now I'm practicing NFP (that means NO contraceptives) and my husband and I have avoided pregnancy because we cannot afford a child right now.
To call abortion sex education is cold-hearted and Obama didn't say he was going to rectify sex education, he said time and time again that he was going to work on getting abortion to be legal all the way up to the last minute.
That man is Pro-abortion, he's not even Pro-choice. He believes there is no other choice except abortion.
Reply:werent the bush's pro life? of corse clinton was pro abortion. did he get to speak? I sure dont recall. I dont think they should invite a pro abortion champion like obama with his views and policies on abortions.
I suggest the whole school wear pro life t shirts on the day he arrives.
Reply:You do know that honorary degrees are given to people on the same terms as its actual students.
UND does not require its students to be Catholic, Christian or even pro-life for that matter.
By the way, the student body decides who speaks at commencement, not the school.
Reply:Obama supports Sex Education. Calling Sex Education murdering babies shows how little you know of his policies. Sex Education reduces the number of unwanted pregnancies. Abstinence DOESN'T work. Just ask Sarah Palin.
Reply:I can't respect a man that has no morals, Obama is not only Pro-Partial abortion he is pro-live birth abortions as well. What a sad excuses of a human being.
Reply:If he speaks there,...
I guarantee he will, (at one point) bash the Christians + Christianity.

What can I use as a wedding invite that is not paper? Something a guest could reuse. Any ideas?
paper can be shredded and put into the compost pile. not wasted.
consider the costs of production and mailing. 25cent invitation starting to look good?
What can I use as a wedding invite that is not paper? Something a guest could reuse. Any ideas?
You could do the seed paper where once the wedding is over you can plant it. You can print stuff on anything like a handkerchief, plate,back of a mirror
Reply:For my sisters wedding we did mix CD's. They bought a lightscribe so one side had all the songs they picked and the other side had all the details engraved into the CD. Looks much better then the Stickers on the CD's. They picked all different types of music so just about everyone they sent it to found at least one song they liked. Everyone we talk to still listens to the CD's 2 years later and my cope is my favorite mix CD. You would need to buy the special CD burner for your PC but it is worth it because you can use it for just burning your own CD's too!
If you are interested in looking into it this is the official site: http://www.lightscribe.com/
Reply:I've seen magnets, usually for save the date cards but you could probably get them for invites too. And what's good about that is they can stick it on their fridge and won't forget :)
Reply:You an have invitations in frames, so the guest can use it later to put your wedding photo in it after the wedding.
Reply:I love the idea of seed paper for invitations! What a great way to give back to the planet!
Reply:They have the "invitations" that are made out of cookies. And I also saw invites that were printed on "seed" paper, and they grow wildflowers when you plant them.
Reply:I'm using kind of toilet paper :) ... Silly I know Good luck hun and congrats
Reply:100% cotton fiber can be reused.

My daughters turning 6 i was planning a party but she just wants to invite 5girls out of her class. should i?
Absolutely! You can have an afternoon tea party with pink everything! Serve little sandwiches cut into hearts and stars with large cookie cutters and make pink lemonade.Each girl can wear a tiara. Make a cake with plain pink icing and let the girls decorate it with all sorts of candy, pink and white, of course. If the birthday is on a nice day, create a Maypole in your yard.
There will never be another chance to have a party for a child as sweet as she is right now, so enjoy it!

Reply:My vote is yes (shel'll have a blast with her closest friends), but can I give you a bit of advice? Don't send the invitations to school for her to hand out. Either call the parents or mail them. Many schools discourage passing out invitations at school unless the entire class is invited because of feelings getting hurt. In the past, when we let our daughter pck only a few friends from class for her party, we sat her down and encouraged her not to talk about her party at school (yes I know how hard that is for girls) so the other girls feeling wouldn't be hurt. Have fun -- your daughter will!
Reply:of course! dont let your daughter miss out on the experience of an amazing party,even thought she is only 6. at elementary school,recess is a mixture of many classes,of course she is going to find friends outside her class.

Reply:yes u should because she will have alot more fun with her friends and she will totally thank you and you can do a theme for them and they will totally have a good time and your daughter will have the best b-day.
Reply:I don't understand the question. Are you asking should you have a party even though it's just 5 girls or if you should invite more people to make it a party even though your daughter only wants to invite 5 girls? If it's the first one, then I would say absolutely, 6 girls is enough for a party! Especially at that age. I'm sure they would have a lot of fun together. If you're wondering if it would be okay to invite more people than your daughter wants because YOU want to throw a party, then I would say no. It's your daughter's birthday, not yours. If she only wants 5 girls there, then that should be what you want.

How to invite a freshman to possibly her first party?
I'm in grade 10 my best friends having a party soon and i'm helping out a lot with it. There's a cute freshman girl i kind of like. She obviously has yet to be to a high school party. One thing is.... its on a weekend during exams..... but i mean.... everyone in older grades are coming.. you can take a night off. I know she has a best friend in which they do EVERYTHING together so maybe i should tell her she can bring her?
how do i convincee
How to invite a freshman to possibly her first party?
Have her home at a decent time or at her curfew if she has one. Letting her bring a friend is a good idea so that she is more comfortable. Good Luck!!
Reply:One year should not make a difference. If she is your friend, just send her an invitation. With the age difference, I would make sure that the activities for the party are age appropriate. You may want to end by the local curfew, and probably not do anything illegal in terms of activities. If movies or other things are shown, they should have a rating appropriate for high school students. You might also check with your parents and make sure that the party you are planning is approved by them.

I need a sample letter to invite my mother to Canada and get a tourist visa for her?
The letter should be on paper with some kind of Canadian letterhead (something official from the government). And it has to be notarized. I know this because I had my mother send an invitation letter to my boyfriend and it was notarized but no Canadian letterhead and the government said that's what they wanted. I think too it depends what country you're coming from.

Would it be rude to only invite 4 of the 15 kids in my sons class?
to his Birthday party?
We are having his party at home.
Would it be rude to only invite 4 of the 15 kids in my sons class?
while it can be really tough, you are not doing anything wrong. Its your son's birthday party and he should be comfortable with the whole setup. But do ask your kid whom he wants to invite if he is old enough to have a choice.
Reply:You don't have to invite his whole classroom, because more than likely their will be other kids coming too. Invite the one's he likes or you know personally. Most of them only come for the food and games and don't care if it's his birthday. I agree if you feel guilty about not inviting the whole class make cupcakes for the class on his birthday. Might want to check with the teacher ahead of time just to be considerate to her needs and wants too. They maynot want the janitor staff to have to pickup after a party.
Reply:no, it is wise to only invite your son's closest friends. You can always bring in some cupcakes for your son's class to celebrate at school. My son has 19 in his class. We will invite 5 or 6 friends from school, and just do cupcakes for his class. Keep it simple.
Reply:As long as you don't make a big deal of handing out invites. I know other moms at my son's preschool who have limited it. I don't feel bad, it's not like I want to go! But the general limit is if the kid is turning 4, invite 4 kids. Which works for me! I certainly won't invite all the kids in his class.
Reply:it is extremely rude and scars kids beyond belief
Reply:why dont you invite all of them?
Reply:It would be unless you know them socially outside of school....We generally try to do a separate little party at school for our kids so that all their friends can be involved, then have a party at home for our friends outside of school.
Reply:There's nothing wrong with that. I just wouldn't distribute the invitations in class because that could lead to hurt feelings. Mail them to the children's homes or personally give them to the parents of the children you wish to invite.
Reply:Nope, that's perfectly fine. It would be rude to invite only ten of them.
Reply:If you were to distribute the invitations at school. Mail them to the parents or call them up individually ( I am assuming you have a class list of numbers or some other way of contact). Advise your son not to discuss his party at school. If other kids overhear, they may get upset. Hopefuly. the kids you invite will do the same. As kids get older, they invite less and less of their classmates to their parties. It is an inevitable part of life. However, he is still young and many kindergarteners invite their whole class still. It is up to you, but please be careful about others feelings.
Reply:NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...
Reply:It's not rude at all. It's a part of life! If only we were all invited to the oscars... :-) But as a former teacher, I know our school had a policy about invitations/gifts-unless everyone in the class was getting one, students were not allowed to hand them out in school. As long as you mail them, there should be no problem!
Reply:not at all make the other kids in his class cry that don't come whahaaa haa
Reply:It is VERY rude if you send the invitations to school. If you want to only invite certain classmates you send the invitations to their homes not to school. These days some teachers won't allow passing out invitations in school. I know one teacher who will throw the invitations away. Extremely crass to send invitations to school. Tacky Tacky Tacky

After a small wedding would to invite about 25 for a meal/drinks later, SE London, ideas for a venue?
The group age would range from 6 months to 70? We like trendy, tastful, modern or character
After a small wedding would to invite about 25 for a meal/drinks later, SE London, ideas for a venue?
I had a wander around the O2 building (formerly the millenium dome)this evening. Its located at North Greenwich and there are masses of venues there. Take your pick. The Dome is a pretty cool destination to start with, so you will start the evening on a +1.
Alternatively you might want to try out one of the Tas group of restaurants. The food is great and excellent value.

Invite out-of-state step-family members to a bridal shower knowing they will not be able to attend?
I have been married for a year. My step-daughter is to be married May 2007. My family is in Texas. We are in Ohio.
Invite out-of-state step-family members to a bridal shower knowing they will not be able to attend?
You should poll the family and find out how they would feel if they were or were not invited. If they would be insulted for not being invited, invite all and let them know that you would understand if they are unable to attend the shower. We did that with my showers. We have family who lived far enough away that they would need to travel in for the shower. We invited them and some sent their regrets and a present (or they chipped in on one gift). I was not hurt when they didn't come and they were not hurt for not being invited.
Reply:It's always nice to invite them, even if they can't attend.
Story: we just went through my shower. I wrote out a list of people to invite, one of which was a member of my bridal party who lives in Colorado. She couldn't come but sent a gift.
I FORGOT TO SEND ONE TO MY FUTURE GRANDMOTHER-IN-LAW! She really laid on the guilt trip too. I had never felt more guilty in my life!
Reply:I would to avoid any hurt feelings.
Reply:I would just to show the polite gesture
Reply:Yes, invite them. It's a nice gesture, even if they can't come.
Reply:why not invite them. u never know they just might show up and if they don't show up people like to know that people are thinking about them
Reply:It's always nice to send the invite their way, even though you know they will not be able to make it. It's a great way to prevent hard feelings and someone getting hurt.
Reply:i would have to say yes send the ivatation, even though you know they can't come. It give's them a keepsake and prevent's hurt feeling's. I am the sister of the groom, and i live in what they call upstate Ny, they live in NYC, i didn't get an invite to the bridal shower and my feeling's are very hurt, but i wouldn't have been able to make it. It would have been the thought that counted
Reply:yes invite them, send the invitation, it is the thought that counts....show them that you have thought of them. I learned this the hard way. I had out of town guests that I knew would not be able to attend (and they knew they couldn't attend) and I did not invite them until my mother pointed out my error. So I had to hastily scratch up some to invites. It is a small price to pay to keep your family appeased.
Reply:tell here able to make it
Reply:It would be kind of an awkward thing to receive in the mail from so far away.
I would just invite people within like a 2 hour driving radius, to a shower.
Reply:Definitely send the invite...its the polite and thoughtful thing to do even if they won't be able to make it.
Reply:Yes. Invite as many women as possible (those that you will also invite to wedding). They will send a gift most likely if they cant come. Dont assume they cant or wont come. If you assume they wont come they may be upset later that they were not invited.
Reply:You should invite your immediate family. Mom, Dad, Brothers and Sisters. They can decide not to attend. But atleast it shows you thought of them.
Reply:Invite them anyway out of ettiqutte if they come they come if not they don't
Reply:It's a nice gesture to send invites even though they probably can't come.
Plus, you might get a gift in the mail....
Reply:even though you know they will probbally not come it just shows some curtisty to invite them...who knows maybe they will come good luck
Reply:I'm having a destination wedding and invited all of my stepdads family,even though I'm pretty sure none of them will come. There are a couple I wanted to invite, and some that I wouldn't even recognize on the street-however, I think it's common courtesy to invite EVERYONE in the family.
Reply:It's up to her. Regardless of distance, she may have enough to worry about with her Mom and Step-Mom in the same location at the same time (I would!)... never mind her Step-Mom's family to boot.
Generally "family" status doesn't extend as easily to the step's family (so not necessary to invite based on family status). However if they get on well, and she would / does want them there, she should invite them regardless so it doesn't seem like a snub.
IMHO.

My Chinese lady friend wants to invite me over for "real" Chinese food?
she claims the stuff I buy here in NY isnt the same, what does she mean?
My Chinese lady friend wants to invite me over for "real" Chinese food?
CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a wonderful compliment to you!!
She is right - the US stuff is NOT THE SAME.
Think about it this way -- in China, they might consider "American Food", cheeseburgers %26amp; fries or pizza. BUT, if you had the opportunity to cook for a friend while you were in China, wouldn't you probably cook a favoritd dish of yours - maybe a recipe handed down from your Mom?? And who knows what that might be - certainly NOT what they would be expecting.
ENJOY %26amp; HAVE FUN!! If I could, I would trade places with you in a heartbeat - I love to experience other cultures.
Reply:Oh Oh Oh , Don`t it is sooooooooooooooooo spicy you`re not gonna sleep !
Reply:You will defenitily be having some dogs and cats (meow).
Reply:Be prepared. I have Chinese friends who invite me over and often they serve something I would never think of eating---like beef tendons!
All in all, homestyle or "real" Chinese food is not like the Chinese food found in Chinese restaurants.
The food in China and served in Chinese homes is less fried, less greasy, more fresh, less heavy.
In Chinese restaurants, most all food is fried. They prepare meat and deep fry it. They deep fry vegetables. Then they toss the meat and veggies in a wok with the sauce ingredients.
In Chinese homes, much less oil is used, things are quickly stir-friend in less oil.
But, you might also find some interesting ingredients that you never thought you'd eat!
Enjoy!
Reply:Lucky you.
Most Americans confine themselves to a very limited menu when it comes to Chinese food, even if they are in a place like NYC Chinatown where there are thousands of choices. That's what she's talking about.
Also, there are some dishes that seem specifically designed for non-Chinese tastes, like General Tso's Chicken or anything that pairs sweet flavors with meat.
And you can ignore any bozo that tells you it's going to be dog or cat or whatever. Even if this were possible, what sort of host invites you over for food that will make you feel uncomfortable?
Reply:She means that the chinese food you get in NY has been "americanized" and does not represent how food is actually prepared in China.
Go and enjoy....
Reply:braze yourself! I have a chinese co worker and everytime I tryed her food I had to be honest I didn't liked it.
Reply:American "chinese food" is prepared to please a mass market. I'm sure what you get will be fresher, tastier and more interesting. Think about if you went to China, where their idea of "American food" is a Big Mac, and you cooked someone there a real steak on the grill.
That's what it'll be like. Unless she's a crappy cook!

Reply:Most of the chinese restaurants in New York serve an entirely different genre of food than in China. In the US, most Chinese restaurants are take-out/fast food joints, most items are fried/laden with sugary sauces. Authentic Chinese food is much more diverse than that. In Northern China, where wheat reigns supreme, noodle dishes, steamed buns and dumplings are common. In Sichuan, spicy is the name of the game. Cantonese cuisine tends to involve more stir-frying and sweeter sauces than the north. It's hard to predict what kind of dinner you're going to end up having, it'll depend on which region of China she's from. One thing is for sure though, it's gonna be different from and better (if she's a good cook!) than your regular fare from Mr. Chow's next door.
Reply:It's probably like pizza -- the Italian version isn't the same as what we have in the U.S. Give it a try, you may love it...if nothing else, someone's giving you a free meal so you can't complain (even if it has something to do with fish eyeballs).
Reply:All Chinese don't eat off the Chinese food restaurant menu, like all Mexicans don't eat taco bell continuously
Reply:she obviously is yet another sad, pathetic woman trying to lower your standards. grow up.
Reply:Wow, you're probably in for a treat. The food we get in restaurants is like fancy banquet food, not at all like what ordinary people eat.
I was once out at a nice Chinese restaurant with a lot of co-workers, who included a Chinese woman. We asked her what we should order. She looked at the menu and said "Wai, I don't even know what half this stuff *IS*!"
Take her up on it, for sure. You'll learn something about China, and if you're ever going to get serious you'll learn something about what living with her will be like.
And if it's totally awful, you can dump her and get a pizza on the way home :-)
Reply:she means a real Chinese food it looks different it taste different expect raw stuff and have an open mind.

Invite SCINTISTS, Can science stop physical DEATH of any living thing forever?
IF NO, THINK ABOUT PREVIOUS SCIENCE FICTION COMIC THEORIES ONCE AGAIN.
Invite SCINTISTS, Can science stop physical DEATH of any living thing forever?
Not at the present time, and probably not ever. If death is not caused by predators or disease, it will come because the cells of the organism (except for sex cells) can reproduce only a limited number of times. When autosomal DNA replicates, a few bases are left off the end of the new copy. There are a number of extra bases in the original DNA, so the loss is not a problem until all the extras are gone. When they are gone, you start losing vital information; lose enough of it and the cell dies. Sex cells use a special enzyme called telomerase to re-construct the lost bases, so they can reproduce indefinitely.
This is, incidentally, the reason that the biblical stories of people living for hundreds of years are false.
Reply:Have you heard of (PCD) Programmed cell death. Like the body has DNA that is coded to allow the body to grow in a certain manner and function in a certain manner. Similarly the DNA also has codes for the cells to stop functioning and disintegrate, eventually leading to death.
Actually as long as we are living there is a process called metabolism that goes on in the body. The process of metabolism has 2 parts to it Anabolism and Katabolism. During Childhood there is more anabolism and less katabolism. When one gets old this process is reversed. that is, there is more katabolism than anabolism. All metabolism is controlled by hormones that is controlled by the brain.
Yoga is said to give you such powers that one can controll one's brain to a great extent that can in turn control metabolism. That means delaying the process of death to a very large extent.
The other way to stop death would be by tampering with the right genes.
Thus answer to your query is that stopping physical death may be possible.
Reply:the question is can science give life to something i mean not just motion as in motors i mean creating a new creature that can live and think his own way offcourse no
so u cant stop what u dont have control over death is inevidible thats what life is all about ,insted of wasting our times trying 2 stop it we should invest this time in making good deeds 4 human kind 2 give our species a better life than ours
Reply:No. Sorry, bubba, but death is inevitable. Now, do you want it prolonged at any cost? At what quality? You can't have both. Give me quality of life with inevitable death any day! I refuse to linger here as a vegetated living corpse drooling down my chin. That is what 'medical science' can give us -- basically nothing.

If you saw a homeless person on the street regularly would you invite them for christmas dinner?
i keep wondering wether to ask him or not
but the one thing holding me back is how do i ask him to leave at the end of the day
what do you think
thanks for your answers

If you saw a homeless person on the street regularly would you invite them for christmas dinner?
You do no such thing. There is a reason for people being out on the streets and you do not want to get involved - God knows what may happen. What you are suggesting is actually quite cruel. You ask him in to your home, are you buying him a present, raising his hopes of getting a bed for the night, will he get violent when asked to leave. It is not fair to be charitable on the one hand and then kick him out. He will come back for sure and make your life one long misery. Please talk to somebody as they will agree with me I think. It is madness.
If you are just doing this to satisfy some kind of guilt, wrap up some food in a box and give it to him and walk away for good. Being kind is one thing, but raising a desperate persons hopes and inviting him in then only worrying about how to get rid of him, is not wise. If you are so bothered, you have to find out how best to get help for him, but what you are proposing will only make it worse. Don't be so naive. Do not get involved - you have no idea of what may happen.

Well done for having the thought, though. As my children are getting older I am considering volunteering for a charity that gives homeless people a Christmas meal. I think that it's the conviviality that counts rather than the food.
A street-person is for life, not just for Christmas.
Reply:Vici, for the last 2 weeks my friend has been helping a homeless lad who was waiting for a place in the opposite newly built hostel, he has been feeding him, giving him some work in his shop, giving him a little money and friendship and the lad admitted to having a drink problem, he was also sleeping rough outside, this 22 year old lad worked his way to getting a bed inside of the shop for the night last Thursday, he was served tea and biscuits in the morning part and as my friend went to the loo he heard the front door bang and when he came out he saw that his 拢500 laptop had mysteriously vanished...the police were called and found the lads bag which was full of needles...
soooo there are a few lessons here, don't invite him, people are homeless for a reason, drink, drugs, violence,...

Reply:We normally see street people here in our country. Asking them over to our home would prove to me more disadvantageous. For one, we never know if our safty would be compromised. Also, tnis could give them a suggestion to be wrongly dependent on us and to go to our home for every need.
Things we normally do to show care to them:
1. We stock food and items in our car. We give these items away everytime we come across sreetpeople.
2. When dining out or during drive thru, we order extra food to give to those outside. At times, we order for them and let them sit near us.
hope this helps :)
Reply:Its a wonderful guesture, yes, but I know of people in my area that are homeless and I would not advise inviting a stranger into your home. What if the person chooses not to leave? Or starts harrassing you regularly after? You could end up with this person continuously harrassing you to support them and make a bad situation out of this.
Why not just give him a sandwich or something as you walk past and wish him a merry christmas?
Please think logically, 9/10 there is a BAD reason why a person is homeless. Mental problems, damage to the last property they resided at etc. I'm not saying that all homeless people are "bad" but in my experience, a lot of them are best being avoided.
In Queensland, mental patients are released and a lot of them end up on the streets.
Please be careful.
Reply:best to play it safe and not ask....
Reply:No
Reply:in the good old days yes now not so sure as they all drink to much and the same with drugs its not so safe as it used to be
Reply:No. You do not know enough about the person to just invite him over like other friends or family. Sometimes homeless people carry diseases and other unsanitary things on them. You will also anger other people and probably lose some friends to boot. Also, some "homeless" people are not actually "homeless", they are "actors" that prey on your good intentions and make their "living" from it. Some of them are scammers, so be very careful. FYI.
Reply:nah keep out of it,or he will be back,and the next question u will be asking is--"how do iget rid of an unwanted tramp that keeps begging at my door,and now ive got all his plonky mates knocking at my door and my tvs gone,and oh god theres one in my bed in my hubands pyjamas!! help!
Reply:Yes...Of course...He may need some warmth from another human being right now.
Reply:If you have a rapport with him then go for it. It's not that difficult to ask someone what they are doing for Christmas - if he's free then ask him round but he might not leave - he might find your abode quite cosy. Only joking.
Reply:The world needs more people like you in it. That's a very nice thing to do.
Reply:No. No matterh how often you see him, he is still a stranger and you do not know his circumstances. His could be a tragic story but inviting someone into your home (especially on Christmas day) is a big thing.
Reply:What a lovely gesture. As for asking him to leave do it subtly, when the time comes maybe you could get round it by saying something along the lines of "I'm so glad you came, after ......... (I've tidyed up/ we've had coffee) I'll give you a lift.". That makes it clear when it's time to leave without it seeming like you're trying to get rid of him.
You have inspired me to do something good today, thanks :-)
Reply:that is wonderful, how charitable of you! at the end of the evening you could always offer him a ride to a local shelter.
Reply:it's a radical thing to do....i don't have that courage, but, i think there are 'safer' ways of doing it, like inviting them to places other than home.....it could well be the start of something big....
brgrds,
Reply:Many homeless people are very proud, and are only there because of a number of bad turns in their lives. Many would reject your offer out of fear of disrupting the day for you and your family. For me personally, it would be very hard to invite them into a home filled with happiness and "wealth" and then return them to their hole in the wall at the end of the day.
So as much as your goodwill is admirable, I would recommend taking him out for lunch the day or two before and leaving it at that. An envelope containing a Christmas card with some money would also be greatfully accepted.
Reply:I guess... but I'd have to make sure that I have plastic seat covers for him first.
Hygiene comes first! Think of the children!
Reply:Do him a Christmas dinner but make him eat it in the garage.
Reply:I would ask him for dinner. Just because he is homeless does not mean he wants to wear out his welcome.

Reply:If you have a rapport with him then go for it. It's not that difficult to ask someone what they are doing for Christmas - if he's free then ask him round but he might not leave - he might find your abode quite cosy. Only joking.
Reply:The world needs more people like you in it. That's a very nice thing to do.
Reply:No. No matterh how often you see him, he is still a stranger and you do not know his circumstances. His could be a tragic story but inviting someone into your home (especially on Christmas day) is a big thing.
Reply:What a lovely gesture. As for asking him to leave do it subtly, when the time comes maybe you could get round it by saying something along the lines of "I'm so glad you came, after ......... (I've tidyed up/ we've had coffee) I'll give you a lift.". That makes it clear when it's time to leave without it seeming like you're trying to get rid of him.
You have inspired me to do something good today, thanks :-)
Reply:that is wonderful, how charitable of you! at the end of the evening you could always offer him a ride to a local shelter.
Reply:it's a radical thing to do....i don't have that courage, but, i think there are 'safer' ways of doing it, like inviting them to places other than home.....it could well be the start of something big....
brgrds,
Reply:Many homeless people are very proud, and are only there because of a number of bad turns in their lives. Many would reject your offer out of fear of disrupting the day for you and your family. For me personally, it would be very hard to invite them into a home filled with happiness and "wealth" and then return them to their hole in the wall at the end of the day.
So as much as your goodwill is admirable, I would recommend taking him out for lunch the day or two before and leaving it at that. An envelope containing a Christmas card with some money would also be greatfully accepted.
Reply:I guess... but I'd have to make sure that I have plastic seat covers for him first.
Hygiene comes first! Think of the children!
Reply:Do him a Christmas dinner but make him eat it in the garage.
Reply:I would ask him for dinner. Just because he is homeless does not mean he wants to wear out his welcome.

I know that most people join with an invitation from somebody else, but I don't know anybody who has one. So is there some other way to get a gmail account (or several)?

Need help wording a bday invite for combo party for 2 boys. One just turned 3 and the other will be turning 1.
Austin already turned 3 in mid July and Eric will be turning 1 just a few days after the party. I am throwing them a combo pool party. Can you help me with a short, cute rhyme for their invitation?
Also, I'll be sending out invitations in Spanish and English so if you can help with either or both, that would be great.
Thanks!!

Registration is open right now. (1/27/09, 2:03 A.M. EST)
Reply:You will struggle to find someone that will give you an invite unless they know you. If you get warned or banned, they do too.
Your best option would to sign up when they open their doors to the public.
It closed on the 21st Jan and was open for 2 days. Open Registration days can be any day of the week, are not necessarily every month and can last hours or days.
I'd advise you to check the site EVERY day and eventually you will get there.
If you can't get an invite you will need to follow this path, good luck.
Please try and keep your share ratio above 1.1 when you get in.
You may find this tool useful, it's called Tracker Checker and you can leave it running in the background - http://www.stamcar.com/2007/07/25/tracke...
If you use this tool you will need to edit a few trackers, the Demonoid one needs the 'find string' changing from 'sername' to 'Desired username'
Hope this helps.
Reply:lol u cnt! not right now!
no user will give a invitation code because of what happened to them before, got there site shut, if anyone values there account there, they wont give it out to someone they dont know because this could risk it happening again.

How to word an invite so people will know it鈥檚 formal attire?
I am getting married in a courthouse but we are going to have a reception a week later and I don鈥檛 want people to think because we did they can just come in jeans and t-shirts.
So far our invitation says...
Come join James and Jeanna's
Just Married celebration.
date
time
place
How to word an invite so people will know it鈥檚 formal attire?
white tie means that its very formal
and black tie means that its semi formal. just meaning that you are required to dress nicely leaving the jeans and sweatshirts, and baseball caps at home.while white tie is like ball gown attire. you could write your invitation up as:
come celebrate the union of
james ( last name)
and jeanna ( last name)
( with your weddding date, reception party to be held;( with date)
time
place
r.s.v.p ( the date by )
white or black tie required.
( that doesnt mean wear a black or white tie, but when they call to r.s.v.p they can ask. make sure to enclude your phone number even if they already have it. hopefuly that made sence. good luck and congrats!
Reply:Be up front about it and not coy
"Formal Attire, please"
Reply:Depending on your friends, you may have to spell it out. To me, "Formal" means I have to go rent a tux, but I'm an old fart of 38. I have young friend that think a tie is "formal."

Reply:One wedding invitation I received said at the bottom: Black tie affair. I thought that was nicely said, and it got the message across.
Reply:Just be honest.
After all the other invitation info, just put:
'Dress Code: formal'
Over here in the UK, being explicit about the dress code to an event is quite the norm, and not seen as bad ettiquette. If anything it is bad ettiquette not to inform guests of the dress code as this may mean that they may turn up in the wrong outfit, and be embarrassed, which reflects badly on you as the host.
Reply:You want to do black tie for your reception? Or Sunday best? One of the best ways to let guests in on the fact that the wedding is formal is with the invitations. Get ultra-formal, traditional ones -- on white, ivory, or ecru paper, with the wording done in black script, maybe even with a gold or silver border -- and that should do the trick. Give your guests the benefit of the doubt, too -- if they receive a formal invite from you and read where your wedding is being held, you can probably trust them to dress appropriately.
Reply:Say so on the invite. It is perfectly acceptable to say:
reception following, formal attire required.

How can I tell my fiance that he wants to invite too many people to the ceremony/reception?
As of now we have about 150 on the guest list. 80 of which are people that he was friends with long ago or were fraternity brothers.. and these people live in different parts of the country. 70 people are our close friends and family (20 his 50 mine-he doesnt have aunts/uncles/cousins).
How do I make this fair for both of us at a reasonable price?
How can I tell my fiance that he wants to invite too many people to the ceremony/reception?
I would just be honest with him, if you have a set budget on the amount of people you want to invite, I would break it out into groups of family, friends, etc and figure out who is going to get invited.
Instead of inviting a ton of friends to the actual wedding ceremony, why not try to have a "celebration" at a club/bar/restaurant after the wedding day just for friends. That way if his "frat" brothers drink, it will be out of their pocket, and everyone still gets to celebrate with you guys :).
Good Luck!
Reply:You need to talk to HIM about this issue.
You need to think about the financial situation, your budget.
If the budget cannot accommodate all of the guests, then the guest list needs a crackdown.
First on the guest list should be family members. Then close friends. Then casual friends. Then acquaintances.
And, you do not need alcohol at a reception. If it will cut down on costs, then have a dry reception. But that is up to you and your finances.
Again, like others have said, this is something you need to sit down and talk to HIM about, not us!
Reply:Well, who is paying for it? If your parents are, then you should have more control with that. For my fiance and I, I put a limit on how many people we could have and we split it up half. He has a few more than me, but it's pretty equal. You can also go through a list of those extra people and see how long he has known them and/or the last time he has talked to them. Also, your ceremony/reception site may help you limit how many people. I think if you are both paying, you should get 1/2 the people and him half, otherwise it wouldn't be fair.
Reply:If your not being honest at this stage then???!!!...... Just talk to him about it all otherwise whats the point in getting married if you can't discuss this little thing with him.
Reply:Gee, it's the fine art of compromise - of which both of you will be using a LOT in your marriage! The two of you need to decide how many you can afford to host, or with a bigger guest list you may need to downsize the scale or style of the wedding.
Great for your guy that he wants lots of people there to celebrate with - but the two of you need to talk!
Reply:Two things about your question concern me. One is that you're uncomfortable talking to your fiance about the size, scope and cost of your mutual wedding. This is a really small thing in the scope of what life has in store for you: how are you going to handle the really big things?
The second is that you somehow feel like you need to even things out--counting how many are "your" guests and how many are "his" guests, how much you personally value each guest, and calculating out how much each of your individual guests is likely to cost you. The "fair" thing to do is have a wedding that includes both of you and the people you both want there to celebrate it with you. I assume you have a budget. The two of you TOGETHER need to find a way to have the people who are important to each of you there on that budget.
Best wishes.
Reply:is the problem that you don't like who he's invited??
if he doesn' thave as much family as you.. it makes sence he wants to spend his special day with his friends..
my guess is worry about the amount of guests once you get all the replys back
Reply:This is a special moment for the two of you. You want him to have the freedom to choose. Let him have this, just like he is letting you have this.
Who cares if the guys finish the alcohol because at the weddings you can set it up that the wedding ceremony will cover only the first two drinks, after that they have to paid the bar for the drinks.
You need to have a list and so does your future husband. Remember this, after been married for so many years, you want him to say, "I remember person came to wedding and...." Let him have his precious moment that he can cherish years in the future with the children.
Reply:Just be honest with him. Don't stress over this, just tell him that you both can't afford to have that many people there %26amp; that you are going to have to cut some people. My husband %26amp; I only invited people that we see more than a couple of times a year.
Reply:If he cannot cut his guest list, then he needs to pay for his guests. From what you have written, you have 20 guests and he has 130. It is extremely unfair for you and your family to even have to pay for half of this. So . . . . tell him exactly how much it will cost for 130 people. Maybe he just doesn't realize. After he understands the pricing (and that you expect him to pay for his share), maybe he will be more reasonable about cutting his guest list.
And really, there is no need to invite friends you haven't seen in years. Tell him that you all can send them wedding announcements after the wedding. You can check out wording for announcements at verseit.com.
Good luck to you.
Reply:Explain to him that the easiest way to save money on your wedding is to limit the guest list. Are there constraints on your space? That can serve as another reason to cut back the list. Go through the list together and divide it into A, B and C lists. A listers are the people that HAVE to be there, B listers are the people you'd like to have if space/money allow. C listers are probably people you feel like you should invite or may invite as a last resort. Come up with a system together to decide if certain friends are A or B list people. For example, my fiance and I decided that if we didn't talk to them every week, they were B list people (except for family, of course). Work together to see if you can cut back the list. Make sure he understands that not EVERYONE you know has to be there. If they are people you don't care about being in touch with 2 years from now, what difference does it make if they witness your wedding?
Also, if you're worried about fraternity guys drinking you dry, talk to your bartender. He should be able to help you with a system to make sure it doesnt happen. For instance, you can put a 3 drink maximum (or 4 or 5 or whatever you want!) per person.
Good luck!
Reply:Sweetie, you are planning to spend the rest of your life with this man, and you can't communicate with him? You're going to need to figure out how to address issues with him in a productive manner, or you're in for some trouble! I suggest premarital counseling to work on your communication as a couple.
As for the guest list, just say "hey, hon, can we try to cut down the guest list some?" or "Let's have a guideline that anyone we haven't seen in at least a year (excluding family) isn't invited."
Good luck with your wedding!
Reply:Be honest with him and tell him you aren't comfortable with the number of people being invited. Just say you'd rather cut it down to 100 (or whatever). But, I think to be fair you should each cut some people - you shouldn't make him be the only one to make cuts. (I'm not saying you were going to do this, but it wasn't clear in your post.) My friend and her bf have said they're each allowed to invite 50 people and that's how they're keeping the list lower.
Reply:Ask him to do the 3 year rule. If he hasn't talked to someone within 3 years, then don't invite them to the wedding. That may get rid of some of his headache.
It's not really fair to you for him to have twice as many people there as you are, so you need to sit him down and explain that. If they are mutual friends, discard that because then those people are there for both of you, not just him.
How do I make this fair for both of us at a reasonable price?
How can I tell my fiance that he wants to invite too many people to the ceremony/reception?
I would just be honest with him, if you have a set budget on the amount of people you want to invite, I would break it out into groups of family, friends, etc and figure out who is going to get invited.
Instead of inviting a ton of friends to the actual wedding ceremony, why not try to have a "celebration" at a club/bar/restaurant after the wedding day just for friends. That way if his "frat" brothers drink, it will be out of their pocket, and everyone still gets to celebrate with you guys :).
Good Luck!
Reply:You need to talk to HIM about this issue.
You need to think about the financial situation, your budget.
If the budget cannot accommodate all of the guests, then the guest list needs a crackdown.
First on the guest list should be family members. Then close friends. Then casual friends. Then acquaintances.
And, you do not need alcohol at a reception. If it will cut down on costs, then have a dry reception. But that is up to you and your finances.
Again, like others have said, this is something you need to sit down and talk to HIM about, not us!
Reply:Well, who is paying for it? If your parents are, then you should have more control with that. For my fiance and I, I put a limit on how many people we could have and we split it up half. He has a few more than me, but it's pretty equal. You can also go through a list of those extra people and see how long he has known them and/or the last time he has talked to them. Also, your ceremony/reception site may help you limit how many people. I think if you are both paying, you should get 1/2 the people and him half, otherwise it wouldn't be fair.
Reply:If your not being honest at this stage then???!!!...... Just talk to him about it all otherwise whats the point in getting married if you can't discuss this little thing with him.
Reply:Gee, it's the fine art of compromise - of which both of you will be using a LOT in your marriage! The two of you need to decide how many you can afford to host, or with a bigger guest list you may need to downsize the scale or style of the wedding.
Great for your guy that he wants lots of people there to celebrate with - but the two of you need to talk!
Reply:Two things about your question concern me. One is that you're uncomfortable talking to your fiance about the size, scope and cost of your mutual wedding. This is a really small thing in the scope of what life has in store for you: how are you going to handle the really big things?
The second is that you somehow feel like you need to even things out--counting how many are "your" guests and how many are "his" guests, how much you personally value each guest, and calculating out how much each of your individual guests is likely to cost you. The "fair" thing to do is have a wedding that includes both of you and the people you both want there to celebrate it with you. I assume you have a budget. The two of you TOGETHER need to find a way to have the people who are important to each of you there on that budget.
Best wishes.
Reply:is the problem that you don't like who he's invited??
if he doesn' thave as much family as you.. it makes sence he wants to spend his special day with his friends..
my guess is worry about the amount of guests once you get all the replys back
Reply:This is a special moment for the two of you. You want him to have the freedom to choose. Let him have this, just like he is letting you have this.
Who cares if the guys finish the alcohol because at the weddings you can set it up that the wedding ceremony will cover only the first two drinks, after that they have to paid the bar for the drinks.
You need to have a list and so does your future husband. Remember this, after been married for so many years, you want him to say, "I remember person came to wedding and...." Let him have his precious moment that he can cherish years in the future with the children.
Reply:Just be honest with him. Don't stress over this, just tell him that you both can't afford to have that many people there %26amp; that you are going to have to cut some people. My husband %26amp; I only invited people that we see more than a couple of times a year.
Reply:If he cannot cut his guest list, then he needs to pay for his guests. From what you have written, you have 20 guests and he has 130. It is extremely unfair for you and your family to even have to pay for half of this. So . . . . tell him exactly how much it will cost for 130 people. Maybe he just doesn't realize. After he understands the pricing (and that you expect him to pay for his share), maybe he will be more reasonable about cutting his guest list.
And really, there is no need to invite friends you haven't seen in years. Tell him that you all can send them wedding announcements after the wedding. You can check out wording for announcements at verseit.com.
Good luck to you.
Reply:Explain to him that the easiest way to save money on your wedding is to limit the guest list. Are there constraints on your space? That can serve as another reason to cut back the list. Go through the list together and divide it into A, B and C lists. A listers are the people that HAVE to be there, B listers are the people you'd like to have if space/money allow. C listers are probably people you feel like you should invite or may invite as a last resort. Come up with a system together to decide if certain friends are A or B list people. For example, my fiance and I decided that if we didn't talk to them every week, they were B list people (except for family, of course). Work together to see if you can cut back the list. Make sure he understands that not EVERYONE you know has to be there. If they are people you don't care about being in touch with 2 years from now, what difference does it make if they witness your wedding?
Also, if you're worried about fraternity guys drinking you dry, talk to your bartender. He should be able to help you with a system to make sure it doesnt happen. For instance, you can put a 3 drink maximum (or 4 or 5 or whatever you want!) per person.

What is the correct wording to use on a party invite to reqwuest that only gag gifts be brought?
We are hosting a birthday party for my 88 year old g-ma and 80 year old uncle. As we are inviting many we haven't seen or even spoken to in years, we don't want to have people bring gifts -- their presence is enough! -- However, we would love to encourage gag gifts -- thinking prep H, Depends, over the hill t's, etc.....
How would I word that on the invite?
What is the correct wording to use on a party invite to reqwuest that only gag gifts be brought?
"we appreciate your great company so really, no gifts are necessary.
if you do want to, please bring gag gifts"
Reply:Not to forget things, but you also need to bring a White Elephant gift.
This is a gift of value between $1 and $20.
it can be silly, fun, or "Oh My God !! Where did that come from!!".
It should be wrapped, but without any markings of who it's from or for.
You do not have to "Buy" something, if you already have a gift about the house that is appropriate for the party.
Note that appropriate is in the eye of the gift giver!
Hope this helps as I love White Elephant parties. You don't have to necessarily use these exact words. Here is a link to how to play the game.
Reply:Please dont take along the usual gifts, make your gifts funny or quirky.
Or "please bring gag gifts!"
Reply:There is really not proper way to instruct your guests on what type of gift you are requesting. It is considered bad etiquette to mention gifts at all on an invitation, unless you are requesting no gifts at all, in which case you would write, "best wishes only."
One other thing - I don't know your family, obviously, but I hope the idea of the gag gift has come from the people being feted. How embarrassing for them if they are expecting a lovely party and end up with adult diapers and preparation H. Call me old-fashioned, but it seems inappropriate, especially if it's a "surprise" for the birthday people.
Reply:Just say it in the invitation, you said it already, guest will understand
Reply:Since you are asking people not to bring gifts, I do not see why you can't just say that on the invite, age appropriate gag gifts might be a nice way to say what you want. See last sentence.
I helped host a gradeschool reunion, and we fixed up a grand prize, full of age appropriate items, it was fun, and well recieved.
We had dentugrip, denture cleaning tablets and soaking tub, flip flop slippers in red plaid, magnifying glasses, prep H, senior vitamins, and on and on.
Hope granny and uncle have a sense of humor!
"In lieu of traditional gifts, we are asking everyone to bring a age appropritate gag gift."
Reply:***note....if you are inclined to bring a gift we would appreicate "gag gifts". It would contribute to the fun for _______.
Reply:I would write just that. Exactly what your qustion asks.
Reply:If bringing a gift Grandma has everything but any gag gift for over the hill would be fun and perfect for her. Let's all come up with some real funny stuff. See ya at the party.
Reply:IT IS IMPROPER AND NOT SOCIALLY CORRECT TO STATE WHAT TYPES OF GIFTS YOU WOULD LIKE. I LOVE THE LINE"YOUR PRESENCE IS HER PRESENT" THOUGH
Reply:In keeping with the spirit of fun, we request that you only bring gag gifts. The crazier the better! We look forward to seeing you there!

Is It Ok to Invite The Groom to the Bridal Shower?
my fiance and I are having a small private ceremony at our church and we re just wondering if it s ok to invite the groom to the shower because we re planning to invite other couples as well. But it will be a mixture of couples and singles... is that ok?
Is It Ok to Invite The Groom to the Bridal Shower?
That's fine. If couples are going to be there, there's no reason why the groom can't attend. My DH attended our couples shower and there were some single people there as well. We also had showers where he wasn't invited because they were women only.
Reply:It's called a wedding shower if its with guys and girls, and a Bridal shower if it's just women.
Reply:Of course. We had a Jack and Jill shower. It makes more sense to me anyway.
Reply:It is done these days. How about including the groom, set it up so he gets a shower, too. Especially good if he is not going to do a batchelor drinking and strippers night with his buds.
Reply:Sure! Couple's showers are popular these days! Sounds like a lot more fun than making it all girly!
Reply:Yes, that sounds like fun! I wish I could have done that... but the person throwing my shower only has room in her place to invite the women :(
Reply:yes!
Reply:Why a Jack and Jill to start with.
Reply:Yes, but usually the groom is the only man. But you can have a couples Shower too.

How do i get my mom to let me invite soem friends over?
My mom is a very over protective person. i am going to be a sophomore in high school and i would like to have some friends over before school starts. I want to invite my 2 best friends just to hang out.
Well, i ask her nicely and every time i bring it up she rolls her eyes or makes up something to persuade me not to say anymore.
How do i get my mom to let me invite soem friends over?
dont give up asking. when you talk to her and she rolls her eyes, try not to be persuaded. tell her that she is preventing you from getting friends and you need a life. let her get to know your friends. if she sees that your friends are not crazy or whatever she may start changing her mind

Engagement party: is it necessary? Do I have to invite everyone who will be at the wedding?
We just got engaged in Jamaica on Saturday, and have just announced it to our friends and family. My father wants to throw us an engagement party, although since he will be paying for everything, we feel somewhat uncomfortable asking for an engagement party, as well.
Could we have a small engagement party with just the families and bridal parties? How much would an engagement party at a restaurant cost?
Engagement party: is it necessary? Do I have to invite everyone who will be at the wedding?
Engagement parties are optional. They are almost always smaller than weddings, so don't feel like you have to invite everyone. Additionally, it is less common to invite out of town relatives (especially ones who live really far away) to the engagement party. You can choose to invite close family and friends only. The cost of having the party at a restaurant varies considerably depending on total number of guests, the restaurant you choose, and how much boozing you plan on doing. For 20 people with some drinking I'd plan on several hundred dollars. You can save a lot of money if you have the party catered at the restaurant (with a predetermined menu instead of letting everyone order what they want).
Reply:There's no requirement to have an engagement party. Usually only rich folks or professionals or society folks do this these days. I think I'd use rule of thumb - how much time between now and the wedding? If more than 2 years, I'd have an engagement party. Make it a smaller guest list than the wedding, though.
Reply:An engagement party isn't necessary, but nice that your dad wants to throw you one.
It's usually just an informal event, no need for a meal. Just have a gathering of the two families at your dad's house for drinks and snackies, with you two, the wedding party, and close family from both sides - just so everyone can meet.
Reply:just go w/the ONE that
your Dad is paying for!!!!!
Cost: Approx:$25/person
Reply:Engagement party is nice to announce that you are engaged if you have the money for it and feel that it is worth it. To have a party to include all the people that will be in the wedding you will already be having a rehearsal dinner before the wedding anyways.Something to think about, ask your dad can he help with the rehearsal dinner instead.That is more meaning full and you will be hungry by the time you practice what you will be doing already.
Reply:Not required at all
I ain't having one as I think it is superfluous
Reply:Tell him to save his money for the wedding! ;)
I had 3 small engagement dinner parties. One with the Groomsmen and their better halves, 1 with the Bridesmaids and their better halves (at which I actually asked them to be in my wedding so it was a surprise) and 1 with our parents... all three were fun and less expensive.
Reply:not everyone but almost ur closest friends.
Reply:You haven't asked for the engagement party so let him throw it. The engagement party guest list should all be invited to the wedding, but not everyone you would invite to the wedding should be invited to the engagement party.
We kept ours small. And the wedding guest list is large. Usually it is the nearest and dearest people to you.
Congratulations

Reply:I don't feel that an engagement party is necessary. Many people feel obligated to bring a gift to congratulate the newly engaged couple. We had a small family dinner with both of our parents, and we also had some friends get together at a restaraunt. It might be nice just to have the bridal party (if you've picked them) and the families together to meet. You can do this on a budget and probably for about $15 per person including drinks.

Beatles Birthday Party invite suggestions?
i need some ideas for invitations to my beatles party.
Thanks!
Beatles Birthday Party invite suggestions?
Great idea for a party! It all depends on the theme you're having- is it just The Beatles in general? If you're doing Sgt. Pepper thing, you could make the invitations look like the Sgt. Pepper drum. Maybe you could shape it as the Magical Mystery Tour bus or the yellow submarine! You should include some Beatles lyrics like "come together to celebrate (your name's) birthday!). And be sure to play The Beatles "Birthday" when you blow out the candles! Hope I helped. :)

My Japanese friend invite me on lunch, he is married but no child, what I should give him gift.?
My Japanese friend invite me on lunch, he is married but no child, what I should give him gift. Related to Japanese tradition.
My Japanese friend invite me on lunch, he is married but no child, what I should give him gift.?
I live in Japan and the normal gift seems to be senbei crackers or some other type of Japanese snack that tastes terrible. I suggest you give him a present that isn't Japanese instead and aim for a nice bottle of french wine. If you give him a Japanese fan or Jimbei I should thin he will be far less then impressed seeing as it would be like giving an Englishman a bowler hat or a German a pair of lederhosen.
Reply:If he's Japanese from Japan and you're not that close to him, I'd recommend not to give him clothes, any bath products, plates or basically any material item that won't be consumed. I'm 3rd generation Japanese-american and from what I've learned from dealing with my relatives is that if you give them gifts like that, generally, they will either regift or think that you're saying something bad about their taste. I.e. "Oh, you have such horrible looking dishes so I'll give you some dishes" You could possibly get away with giving a material gift if you're very close to this person and know for sure that he will absolutely love it and use it.
Otherwise, snacks or other foodstuffs, especially a specialty of your area would be your safest bet. I'm from Hawaii and my aunt absolutely loved when I brought chocolate covered macadamia nuts and kona coffee as a gift for her. Some people in japan even give little things like a can of soda or a bottle of cooking oil but it is always customary to bring *something* when going to someone's house.
If he isn't from japan, you could pretty much go with anything that you think he would enjoy. Foreign Japanese aren't as sensitive as Japanese from Japan as long as you put a little effort in what you pick.
Reply:Is she/he male or female? Well you can give him wine, scarves, japanese figurines... look at this:

If he isn't from japan, you could pretty much go with anything that you think he would enjoy. Foreign Japanese aren't as sensitive as Japanese from Japan as long as you put a little effort in what you pick.
Reply:Is she/he male or female? Well you can give him wine, scarves, japanese figurines... look at this:

Reply:give him a golden watch **
How do I forgive a friend who didn't invite me?
I find it so hard to forgive a friend who had hung out with me for so much before getting married. His wife doesn't like me because we'd argue before she started dating my closest friend.
Now after the wedding my friend is apologizing to me but expects me to act normal with him again.
How and why should I act like I'm not hurt?
I am a straigth man, btw, I'm just not afraid to express my feelings so don't mess around me. please...
How do I forgive a friend who didn't invite me?
His wife is childish, and your friend could have spoken up more. Maybe even had the two of you meet and maybe work it out before she just decided that you were not aloud to come. Just tell him you think it was shady of him not to invite you just because his wife and you got into it once. Just tell him how you feel.
Also are you sure that you were excluded because of his wife, or money issues? Because sometimes you have to cut people on your list because of budget concerns and sorry to say the cut usually comes on the grooms side.
Reply:Do you mean he didn't invite you to the wedding? That's a hard one. Were other friends invited? Could it have been only family? Were things between you and the bride so bad that having you there would have spoiled her wedding day? It's impossible to know the dynamics of the situtation without a lot more detail, and even then, it's going to come down to one thing: Are your hurt feelings more important to you than your "boys only" friendship? Eventually, you'll find someone yourself and the balance of relationships will change again.
Reply:Think about how terrible he must feel because (most likely) his wife to be said he could not invite you. Your friend was in between a rock and a hard spot. He had no choice. It's probably not good way to start off a marriage by putting a "friend" before your "spouse". You have a right to feel hurt but try and put your self in his position.
My husband's best friend was left with the unpleasant task of un-inviting us to a party because of his wife. I was hurt but not by him. He had no choice. It did not even phase my husband. He assured his friend no explanation was needed. It was his friend when he invited us and still his friend after he un-invited us.
Reply:Just be forgiving. If you like him in general and care to have him, tell yourself it's not a big tragedy not to attend his wedding. Of course it's hurting your feeling. But try to be forgiving especially that he apologized.
Express your feelings to him that you were really hurt and the good friends don't do that. But like you said it happened due to his wife not liking you. Remember a wife is a first priority to him now regardless. He is your best friend, yes, but he will do what his wife desires. And I myself would not like to be put in the position he was in - between the best friend and wife. It's a very sensitive situation. Put yourself in his shoes and forgive him.
Our all life is about forgiveness.
Reply:Ah, women.
They make us crazy.
So he married a b__ch who hates you, and is not afraid to enforce her will upon him.
Just wish him luck and happiness in his marriage, if she is restricting his friends from attending his marriage then it is likely to be an abusive relationship.
When he gets tired of being yanked around on her chain it will end, but don't expect to hear much from him until then.
Reply:If he can't even make sure you get an invite to the marriage despite the woman he is marrying, then chances are you probably won't see much of this guy again anyway. His wife is going to control the show. Tell him to enjoy his new life and be prepared to go your separate ways.
Reply:You may have to give up and move on from this friendship, this is now a couple and if both aren't on board about you, you may be done. They've created a new life and if she isn't into you, he may not be allowed to hang with you anymore. Sorry, he made a lifetime commitment to her. That changes everything.
Reply:Just be straight with him. I'm surprised that he would try to keep the friendship after not inviting you to such a huge occasion. Or rather that he would ignore such a huge faux pas on his part without an explanation or show some regret. Is it possible he was never the friend you thought he was? Good friends don't cave.
Reply:just tell him how it hurt you...and if hes a good friend he will stay tha tway
Reply:accept his apology and move on. life is too short for grudges. but i woud tell him that it did bother you

it depends on what country you are coming from. You don't need a visa to travel from the USA, but you do now need a passport.
Reply:You wont need a visa. You will however need a passport. You can apply for one at most post offices. The application fee is 30 dollars and the processing fee is 60 bucks. Also you will need to mail in an Original copy of your birth certificate(in most states,you can purchase one for less than 20 bucks at a vital statistics office) mail it in with your passport application and have passport photos taken( you can have these done at Walgreens or the post office). If you need your passport pronto, you can pay extra to have it processed quickly.
Reply:i didn't think that you need a visa to travel between the USA and Canada just the proper government id
Reply:where and in country are u living, i mean which country you are a citizen of. the reply depends on your nationality.,

Who would you invite to your Hypothetical Dinner Party ?
You can invite five to ten guests.
They can be people from History, or from Fiction or from people living today.(please explain why they were selected in one sentence)
what would you serve them and what party game would you play
Who would you invite to your Hypothetical Dinner Party ?
Nelson Mandela : Always wanted to meet him.
Marilyn Monroe: To find out how she died.
Cleopatra: To find out if she was as beautiful as they say.
Harold Lasseter :His story fascinates me.
Alice In Wonderland: So I could look through the looking glass.
Boadicea:To see if she lives up to the legend.
Leonardo Di Vinci:So he could paint my picture.
Nostradamus: To find out if he is genuine or a fake.
Guinevere: So I would know King Arthur did exist.
And last but not least Jesus so I could meet the man who influenced so many.
I would feed them Italian food because it goes so well with red wine and we could all do with a glass of that.
I would play Who am I ?
Great question Jenny I would have to invite you too.
Reply:Jesus
Thomas Jefferson
Nikola Tesla
Sir Isaac Newton
Leonardo Da Vinci
Moses
Noah

I would have a BBQ buffet (no pork for obvious reasons)
I don't know any party games as I don't do party's and would leave that up to them.I figure the conversation would be stimulating enough.
I assume some kind of universal translator would have to be employed.
Can there be a sleep over? Like for a year or so?
