I am super pumped to be the Maid (Matron?) of Honor for my great friend Erica this weekend and have been planning the crap out of her bachelorette party/bridal shower for a couple of months now. Mostly because I made it 40 years without ever having been asked, and I'm as stoked as my three year old is when I let him have Lemonheads, but also because I love to plan. In all fairness, I am most definitely an over the top planner so maybe it's too much to expect RSVPs when you ask for them. Wait..........no, no it's not. Most of the etiquette rules that I learned from my mom (thanks Mom!!!) have gone the way of the ladies bridge club, and no one seems to mind. In fact, I was recently told by a person in my sphere that the paper thank you cards that I write, and mail, and enjoy, are a "waste of time". Huh? Since when did being a polite human become a waste of time? Who's the asshole here? If I'm a manners dinosaur, so be it but for the love of all that is dear, JUST FREAKING RSVP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!
