Facebook Wedding Invitation
Sometimes I feel like Don Quixote charging digital windmills on the rapidly changing landscape of the Internet. I have long given up hope that the etiquette, civility and interpersonal relationships will ever be the same after a generation has been brought up believing that Jersey Shore and the Kardashians is as good as it gets in expressing yourself.
Fortunately, I do realize that there are kindred souls out there who share my concern that “good taste” is still relevant. This morning I came across this delightful article describing someone’s shock at receiving her first Facebook wedding invitation. With great sensitivity and delicacy, JMW, who writes A Place to Dwell blog, documents her reaction to receiving her Facebook wedding invitation. Despite every conceivable rationalization to justify this strange behavior which includes a request to his guests “to bring a dish for the potluck reception” she finally concludes with: “I’m going to say it: you just don’t do that!”
I am in your corner on this issue JMW and, judging from most of the comments to your Blog post, we are not alone. How refreshing.
