when did it become acceptable to send out wedding invitations requesting you RSVP via email? i got married last year and was told by several people that it's tacky to include an email address and no actual RSVP card/envelope/stamp. also, since when do you put where the couple is registered at on the invitation?!?! 9/30/2009 1:09:06 PM |

we have 2 weddings this month. both of them said RSVP via email on the invitation and did not include an RSVP card/envelope. that just screams "i'm cheap" to me. also, both of them had "the couple is registered at Target" underneath the RSVP on the invitation. 9/30/2009 1:25:59 PM |

the only way i could email response acceptable is if the couple is really environmentally conscious and it says an email address along with something like "to cut down on unnecessary use of paper, please rsvp via email"
the whole where they're registered thing is just tacky 9/30/2009 1:28:36 PM |

never mind environment...I, personally, would see 'please RSVP by email' as a 'this is sooooooo much easier for us to keep track of!' method of RSVP.
The registry...Get both brides etiquette books for their wedding present. They both clearly could use one.9/30/2009 1:30:59 PM |

this is when I turn to the advice of the great Ariel
Quote : | "I am officially decreeing myself done with the word "tacky." It's a word thrown around a lot in the wedding world — even the non-traditional wedding world! People are worried their centerpieces will look tacky. People decree honeymoon registries tacky. There's muttering over etiquette: "I want to do things this way … but is that tacky?" brides whisper in terror. Tacky: the dark evil that sneaks into your bedroom and eats your face at night.
I'm here to tell you that, YES: everything you want to do for your wedding is tacky. All of it. The red dress is tacky. The handmade paper flowers are tacky. Your custom-designed invitations? TACKY.
Because you see, "tacky" is in the eye of the beholder and there is always, always going to be someone who sees things differently than you. Your handwritten wedding vows? Tacky! Using old mugs as favors? Tacky! Your ribbon veil? Tacky! Your father reading a poem he wrote instead of Corinthians? Tacky!
There is no end to the tackiness. It is ALL tacky, according to someone. Someone will tell you it's tacky to get married in your backyard. Someone will tell you it's tacky not to decorate your chairs with large bows and organza. Someone will tell you it's tacky to have portapotties at your wedding. Someone somewhere thinks sequined wedding shoes and button bouquets and Wai-Ching dresses are all tacky.
…This website? TACKY!
Tacky is the manifestation of your fears that people won't approve of your wedding. I'm exhausted by the tacky debate. I'm sick of people asking if some component of their wedding is tacky. (Sure it is! …to someone. Do you care? Is that why you're doing it?) I'm sick of commenters decreeing certain wedding thangs as tacky. (Sure it is! …to you. Do I care? Are you invited to my wedding?) Tacky: the dark monster that creeps in at night … tacky is the manifestation of your fears that people won't approve of your wedding.
Moving forward, I'm decreeing a moratorium on the word. When it's ALL tacky, none of it's tacky and we can finally stop talking about it." |

She gave up the right to complain about any registry-related actions when she included it on the invitation.

There's a difference between bad taste and egregiously horrible etiquette. Would you giggle because you had a really loud fart at a funeral? That'd be poor etiquette. Tacky would be poor clothing choices.
Etiquette is the kind of stuff that's just so sensible and rigid that even uncultured fuckers like me know better than to do 9/30/2009 1:54:55 PM |

yes.
it's in the source code provided by this application's supplier.
and their support has been less than stellar.
essentially, every call to get info from this data source opens a new client connection, and then when you hit enough client connections, the server basically locks up and runs out of resources.. there is nothing to close said client connections, and they are generated on every refresh of the operator interface.. so basically in this application, we're creating them at a breakneck pace, since in dev. testing and staging we never really had quite the amount of use that we're getting while doing deploy acceptance testing.
The only manual solution found so far is to force the data source to kill all client connections. The data source nor the application have the ability to periodically kill idle clients.
