I honestly believe it's best to have unlimited amounts of whatever one can afford to serve, be it soda, beer, wine, champagne, or alcohol. That's what I do when I entertain at home, in a restaurant, or in a reception hall.
Exactly. With the "one bottle of wine per table" thing, it's like, "drink up right away, kiddos, because this is it". Not a generous way to treat one's guests...
yes, i have a teenager. An almost 16 year old ds. I also have an almost-teen -- my dd who's 11.
So did you impose a penalty on her for dressing that way? did she lose her allowance? was the skirt taken from her?
who bought the skirt for her? I do find it hard to believe that she can just wear whatever she wants out of the house. My sister very often sends my 17 year old niece to change into something more appropriate.
LOL! thankfully that opinion is the COMPLETE opposite of our guests who raved over the centerpieces. When the bat-mitzvah was over, each guest got to take a piece of it home. The women had bath salts, the men had iced coffee mix and the kids had M&Ms on top -- all wrapped up in ribbon with a fake flower with a leaf on the top.
Isn't Hazeleyes Italian? I don't know her, but if she is Italian, they served so much food at the cocktail hour that people could hardly look at their entrees. No one left hungry, I'd bet on that!

yes sometimes they do that too. I have seen them however change clothes with each other.

One bottle of wine per table is less than a glass per person unless there are only 4 to a table. Yeah, to me that's a tease.
Marriage is a sacrament. The reception is a party.
