1. Did you help pick it out?
   Did a small child from a developing nation mine it?
2. Is it real?

Best to keep the questions innocuous.

1. strictly for family
   only for close friends
2. not a gift-giving occasion

Go ahead, celebrate your new status — but don't expect stemware.

1. printing it on the invitation
   calling them individually
2. addressing the invitation only to the adults

No need to make a big fuss of it — but perhaps include a small card explaining if babysitting will be provided.

1. by hand
   in stylized calligraphy
2. in typeface

Looks nice, feels good to receive.

1. It's only polite to ask them to be in yours.
   You have to ask them only if they're related to you or your spouse.
2. There's no obligation to ask them to be in your wedding party.

Hey, it's your wedding — don't feel the need to reciprocate if you don't want to.

1. You must accept.
   You can decline.
2. You can bargain for them to pay for your clothes.

If you don't have the time or money to commit to what the bride or groom wants, feel free to explain the circumstances.

1. her father
   her brother or uncle if her father isn't present
2. whoever the heck she wants

It's the 21st century, people.

1. seated on the right
   seated on the left
2. seated wherever they want

Of course, people really can sit wherever they want.

1. no
   yes
2. only if the wedding is small

You can forgo the receiving line, but you must greet every guest and thank them at some point after the ceremony. So, a receiving line might make the job easier.

1. whatever works
   first the bride and her dad, then stepdad, then the groom and his mom, then stepmom
2. only the "real" parents should dance with the couple

Either skip "announced" dances altogether, or make your own plan.

1. the father of the groom
   the mother of the bride
2. your drunk uncle

Traditionally, the father of the bride gave a speech but anyone else you'd like to speak can be asked, including the drunk uncle.

1. the father of the bride
   the best man
2. the maid of honor

Traditionally, it was only the best man who had the "obligation" to toast.

1. totally cool
   mandatory
2. should be refrained from

Assume that the couple has the pics covered and just want you to enjoy the moment.

1. a month's salary
   a half-week's salary
2. whatever you want

There's no set amount for how much to spend on a wedding gift.

1. yes
   no
2. only for those in the wedding party

If you want to keep the rehearsal dinner small, it's okay to just include the core wedding party.

1. on the wedding invitation
   only on shower invitations
2. when people inquire

It's best to just let people know where you're registered when they ask — although it is also appropriate for a shower invitation.

1. the maid of honor
   the bride's family
2. the groom's family

It would've appeared as if the family was asking for gifts.

1. yes
   no
2. only if you're in the wedding party

One shower gift is plenty.

1. mention the gift
   don't mention the gift
2. mention other gifts you received

It's polite to acknowledge the gift and how you plan to use it.

1. the person who paid for the wedding
   the couple
2. either member of the couple

Split the duties.

1. within a year of the wedding
   within three months
2. within a week

You have a year technically but experts say you should wrap up the thank-you notes within three months of the wedding.

1. white
   red
2. the color of the bridesmaid's dresses

White is still considered a no-no as that is usually the bride's color.

1. no
   yes
2. only if you ask first

Don't even bother to ask. Weddings are expensive and if the couple wanted you to bring a plus-one, it would have been indicated in the invitation.

1. don't allow children
   don't invite your workmates
2. have a destination wedding

While all of these will reduce the list, the biggest reduction will come if you have your wedding in some far away place.

1. No, that's rude,
   Yes, it's better than having no booze at all.
2. It's OK if the couple provides free wine and beer.

Experts are divided on this but most say a cash bar is rude. If you can only provide wine and beer (or just soda) for free, stick with that.

1. extremely tacky
   always welcome
2. totally acceptable in lots of cultures and situations

In some cultures, it was always expected and now, generally, it's become accepted across the board.

1. before the engagement
   after the engagement
2. the day of the wedding

Etiquette calls for the parents of the betrothed to meet after the engagement, if they haven't already.

1. your parents
   children from a previous marriage
2. your dozens of loyal subscribers on YouTube

Don't let your kids find out from a video titled "BIG NEWS!"

1. must have hotel rooms paid for
   must be invited to the rehearsal dinner
2. are simply guests, and don't need special attention

While it's nice if you can accommodate them for dinner or activities, it's not required.

1. yes
   no
2. depends

An invitation might be seen as a solicitation of a gift, so it's not necessary to send one to someone you know can't make it. However, if they're a close friend who, say, lives in another state or country, they may be upset to NOT receive an invitation to that special day. You know your friends best.
