Re: A little Joke for Latin Brides.. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR

I just posted this on a new topic...but for you girls who have a lot of family in other countries, how are you doing this when figuring out the incitations and guest list? Most of my family in Peru won't be able to come...but you dont know for sure until you get your RSVP's....how do you figure the amount of people for the catering hall????
I's so sad that a lot of my family over there wontbe able to come...it's sooooo expensive, their kids are in school and they cant spend all that money to fly in for just one weekend.....

Re: A little Joke for Latin Brides.. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR

OMG that is ALL so very true.

especially:
*Hispanics never RSVP
-Im REALLY having problems with this. No one seems to understand the 'New york RSVP thing'. They honesty don't get it. 'I show up, I show up, if not then I don't what difference does it make? There should always be enough food for everyone, if not, you got there too late'

*sigh*

*People are taking food plates home...'para mañana.'
-I can see it now 'WHere are the paper plates? This is good stuff, shame to waste it.. I just want to take it home for tomorrow'

*shrug*

*The dollar dance lasts over an hour with the same tune...and that's only with relatives.
GOD YES!! I am really hoping no one remembers THIS particular tradition!

*cringe*

this is so funny, so sad and so true!
