Reply:The little black dress is standard. Just don't show too much leg or cleavage as tempting as it may be try not to look for attention by dressing too provocative as it will end up being looked upon negatively

Would giving 12 million illegals amnesty invite 12 million more illegals from mexico & south america?
The problem is big businesses want cheap labor but it's the government federal state %26amp; local paying for all services for the illegals....from emergency rooms to schools.
Would giving 12 million illegals amnesty invite 12 million more illegals from mexico %26amp; south america?
Hmmmm didn't know George Bush as a Democrat. He wants to give illegals amnesty!!!
We will continue to have this huge influx of illegals as long as we refuse to enforce the exiting laws against hiring Illegals. We stopped enforcing the requirement for filing an I9 with every new hire in 2001. Now the only time the ICE guys show up is when the illegals at an an employer threaten or organize or report health and safety violations.
Enforce the current laws they won't be able to get jobs.

Reply:If giving amnesty to them is similar to what happened last time, then yes. The plan of the last amnesty was to just let them stay to prevent spending lots of money tracking them down when some of them are helpful for America. Another element of that plan was preventing this in the future, securing the border, and getting real about enforcing immigration laws. The second component never materialized.
The problem is more complex than big business wanting cheap labor, you are neglecting the millions of lower class from foreign countries that are unable to find work and face high unemployment in their areas. In fact, big business wanting cheap labor is a given, it's a constant, and it will never change, the millions of unemployed lower class foreigners is why it happens.
Similarly, your analysis that the federal and state government pay for these services for them when they do is wrong, they might be the first party payee but I guarantee you they push this cost on all American citizens through taxes.
Reply:Of course.. if we give amnesty to this 12 million. we will barely turn around and another 12 million will be here... Real Americans will be looking for country to live in.
California might as well be Mexico now.
What is the matter with these people .. why do they think they can just come to our country illegally and stay and use our services and take our jobs.
OH yeah.. now I remember.. because no government is brave enough o fix the problem.. now the problem is overwhelming.. so what is going to happen.. shall we all start learning Spanish and forget English. Thanks Washington...
Reply:I wouldn't expect any different results than the last time amnesty was given - history is a very good teacher.
Reply:Uh McCain does to don't forget . Seems that issue has crossed party lines eh ? Depends on how it's carried out I suppose . If the border was secured this time and laws followed this time it might work but if they don't do that no it won't . We'll have more just like now .
Reply:We would be much better off with doing nothing about illegal immigration than granting amnesty to 12 million. This will only encourage 12 million more to come.
John McCain wants to give amnesty also.
Reply:To answer your question;
Yes, since the 12 million illegals given amnesty would quit working once they qualify for liberal social programs. Leaving 12 million jobs to fill by new illegals....
Reply:We did that a while back...now it's over 20 mil...how far will it go???
r1b1c...they are here illegally, therefore they are illegal...undocumented worker is a PC term that I have completely and soundly rejected. It's sugar coating for an ILLEGAL activity...I am willing to call them national trespassers if that helps!!
Dude...they broke the immigration laws by sneaking in. THEY ARE ILLEGAL, CRIMINAL, and have no right to be here.
Reply:Of course! Amnesty will not solve the problem, no matter how you look at it. The illegal immigrant problem will only worsen.
Reply:First there is no such thing as "illegal" learn English, the word is undocumented". In our system of law, only what has been explicitly forbidden by law is illegal, everything else is perfectly legal.
There is no law that explicitly forbids entry into the United States, there are a myriad of laws that REGULATE the entry into this country, so the correct way to refer to people that failed to follow established legal procedure for entry is UNDOCUMENTED, since in order for somebody to become 'illegal' there would have to be a law that they have actively broken. That is not the case, by being in the US without having followed the proper legal procedure for entry they are UNDOCUMENTED not illegal
Second, no because a comprehensive immigration reform would require control over the borders.

How can I word my invite to include menu options??
Please could someone help me.
I need to place menu options in with my invite. Could somebone please give me some examples on how to word it.
Do I list the entire menu with it ot just list options??
Thank you if you can help!!!
How can I word my invite to include menu options??
you don't list the entire menu, just the options. you put it on your RSVP card. it should say something like this:
Please respond by July 15, 2008.
Name(s)___________________
number attending ____________
number declining ____________
____ Chicken Oscar
____ Prime Rib
____ Salmon
Reply:Menu choices shouldn't be on the invitation, but listed on the RSVP card. Usually the only part of the meal that is varied is the entree, and you would list that as shown by the person before me, and give the space to check their selection.
Reply:I htink the best option would be to list the options so if you have any vegetarians or food intolerances they can be dealt with before the wedding and will save you the headache on the day enjoy your big day

How to word my wedding invite to ask them to pay for themselves for the reception...?
My fiancee and I have budgeted our wedding to pay for the 24 people in our lives who we couldn't get married without. You know, the people that if even one of them was missing then the day wouldn't be the same. We are unable to pay for anybody else without cutting costs to dodgy levels.We wanted the big wedding but couldn't afford it. How will I word the invitations to ask the others to fork out the $135 a head to come. Our parents aren't an option for cash...
How to word my wedding invite to ask them to pay for themselves for the reception...?
I think you answered your own question: "we wanted the big wedding but couldn't afford it." In other words, you CANNOT ask your guests to pay their own way, which means if you can't afford it, you can't have it. Why don't you have an intimate wedding with your 24 people, and then later send out wedding announcements with invitations to an informal reception - with inexpensive hors d'oevres and drinks (or do a no-hostbar). You can even do that in your backyard, or a friends home and have everything be homemade, to keep costs down.
I feel for you - I know it can be disappointing to not be able to have the wedding of your dreams, but at least this way you can sort of get the best of both worlds, not upset all your friends and family by asking them to shell out $135, AND focus on what's important - having the marriage of your dreams.
Reply:u dont need to do that..be nicer!!!
Reply:is this price per person?its too much my friend.I thè°‹nk nobody can not afford this.if you dont have much money for this wedding why you organize such a big deal with too much money??
peace..
Reply:Invite everyone to the wedding (the ceremony). If your invitation only includes the ceremony on it, you can send a separate card to those whom you want to be at the reception. But it's pretty tacky to have any guest pay for his/herself at the reception.
Reply:Don't word it on an invitation. It's not appropriate, technically you shouldn't even be expecting gifts at all. I would be insulted if I was invited to a wedding and I found out I wasn't important enough to be one of the people who got their meal covered.
I suggest you spread out the budget of the 24 people and do a appetizer/cocktail reception that you and your family and fiancee can afford. Or limit it entirely to a intimate dinner at a restaurant.
I'm sorry, I wish there was a better solution for you to get everything you want.
Reply:That is rediculous!!!. If you want just about everyone close to you to think you are a buffoon than ask them to pay $135 to come to your wedding.
I don't even know what to else say... I would be appalled. And I suppose you want a gift too!!!
Just have everyone over for a barbeque after the wedding, or do your 24 people thing and stop at that. Don't you dare ask people to pay to come to your wedding.
Reply:i really understand where you are coming from BUT i do think it is really tacky to ask that. i wanted everyone at my wedding that was important to me. SO, i had it at a small restaurant and it was like $14 a person. that way i could have everyone i wanted. you dont need to have it at a place thats $135. you can cut cost right there and have all the people you want. $135 times 24 quests is $3240. you can find a less expensive place and have more than 24 people for that kind of money. do a little research.
Reply:Sorry, but you can't. If you can't afford to have a big wedding, then you don't have one, unless you're willing to go into debt for it, which I wouldn't advise. It would honestly be the height of rudeness and tackiness to invite someone to your wedding, and then say "oh yeah, you have to pay for it." It just plain isn't done.
If you can't afford a meal, just have a cake and punch reception, and then invite more people. You can cut reception costs 2 ways, either invite fewer people, or serve less food.
Reply:Don't have food there. I wouldn't even go if one of my friends suggested to me that I would have to pay $135 to attend. That is ridiculous.
Why should they have to pay for your BIG day. Cut back and just have cake. It is about everyone getting together, not about the expense.
Reply:asking your guest to pay $135 to come is a lot of money!! I am sure there are other reception places that could have been more reasonably priced (say around 65-85 dollars). I don't know too many people that would pay that AND give you a wedding gift.
Reply:If you cannot afford to pay for them, then you do not invite them! You have to be mature and make a choice--do you want the BIG wedding with just your 24 or a simple cocktail reception with everyone. Frankly, since you are demonstrating such selfishness and greediness, one wonders if you are ready for marriage at all!
Reply:OK you so can't do that!!!!!! It's the WORST idea ever!!!
If you can't afford it, then you don't get to have it, it's that simple. Have a different kind a reception, just cake or something. Whatever you can afford
Reply:then dont invite anyone else!!!!
that is a lot of money, personally i couldn't come to a wedding if it cost that much money. and you probably wouldn't get any gifts either, and people would just get mad.
Reply:no dont do that Just serve cake and punch dear and have class that way
Reply:You should have two sets if invitations......one for the wedding ceremony only.....send that one to everyone you want at the wedding. The reception can be a "private party", and only those you can afford to pay for should be invited. It's just plain rude to invite someone to a reception and ask them to pay that much. That's more than a lot of people can afford to spend on a gift.
Reply:This is tough, but I think you will need to either keep your reception to those 24 people - or you need to make your reception just cocktails and cake (and instead of going to a restaurant for those, have the reception in a back yard and go to a warehouse superstore and buy cases of wine to cut costs again). It is extremely rude to ask your guests to pay for themselves. I would either wait to have my wedding until I can afford to feed everyone, cut my reception list to just those 24 people, pull out a loan, or do a cake and wine reception.
Good luck!
Reply:Thats gonna be tough, $135? If the more "unimportant" people have to come up with $135....do you think they would be willing to pay that much for a wedding of 2 people that THEY themselves might not find the most important? Do you get what I'm saying? If they arent extremely important to you, how do you know that you're important enough to them to pay $135? Thats quite alot of money...I wouldnt be expecting many wedding gifts...
Reply:That is sooooo Dodgy of you! Instead of hurting peoples feelings elope instead. It's cheaper and more fun! Go to Las Vegas like I did!
Reply:That really is horrible that you would do that! My husband and I just went to a wedding last weekend and had to pay for our drinks! We thought that was really rude. First off we traveled there and spent money on a hotel and gas. We had no money left over to drink! Let alone get our breakfest the next morning. That is wrong that you would really want to INVITE people to pay. If you can not afford to treat them like a GUEST then don't INVITE them at all. I would never go to a wedding that asked me to pay for myself. You don't invite people to your house for dinner and expect them to bring money to pay for it, do you?
Reply:Since you can't afford the price, don't invite them. It's too much to ask the guests to pay for their own meal at that cost, a gift, their transportation, hotels, clothing, etc... that's a lot of money for them to spend on your day. You should call and explain to each person that while you would love to have them, you just can't afford it. They will understand.
OR
Have a less expensive wedding and invite more people. Maybe offer several menu selection on the reply card. Have the two or three choices listed with prices and a line for selection. That way the people know that they are expected to pay for their own meal, but it shouldn't be $135 per person. Try a less expensive menu, like chicken, fish, and pork over prime rib. Also include "Cash Bar" so that the guests know that you will not be providing alcohol. If anything else is included in the $135, then try cutting it out. Favors and decorations can be done without when you are on a tight budget. Try a party supply store for inexpensive bulk wedding favors, and silk flowers instead of fresh flowers. There are a million ways to cut costs without going cheap and/or tacky.
EDIT:
OK, so it's $102.50 US. That's still too much to ask the guest to fork over to attend. You could always say on the card that in lieu of gifts, you are asking for help with wedding expenses. Then list tthe amount required to attend.
I still think it's tacky and a very bad idea. Not only will you offend all those people, they probably won't come, and don't expect them to be friendly after they see it. Asking for money is the height of vulgar.
Reply:Do not charge people to attend your wedding. There is no way (thank goodness) to make such a request of people. If you can only invite 24, do that. if you must have it larger, then feed everyone less (or just a few trays of passed appetizers), have the wedding in a back yard or a public park. There are lots of ways to make a less expensive or smaller wedding work....but there is no way on earth of charging people to attend your wedding without offending them forever.
