Totally off topic, but since you all are a fount of knowledge and from various locations I thought I would ask you.
Everywhere I have lived, it has always been standard drill when we got a wedding invite to have it addressed to the whole family. Growing up, that meant we as kids went with our parents, having kids it means our kids go with us, since we are a family. But is this changing? Is there a new fad I am unaware of, as I know weddings have fads probably more than anything else!
I am wondering as this has happened twice now within a year. Regular sized weddings, not elopements or small weddings. DH does not know how to respond to the invite from work, he doesn't want to ask so I thought I would ask you, it is someone he knows fairly well.
PS Edited to add, not a southerner, as theyseem to invite the whole family and the weddings are all day affairs...
