Could there be worse wedding etiquette?

So, how does one top the inappropriateness of handing you a wedding invitation at your father's funeral?  

 

By having their mom send an email saying that since they already have an established household, they are not having a traditional bridal shower, instead they are saving up for a couch and mattress and everyone please shower them with cards during the month of April.

Ok, the wedding invitation at the funeral was tacky, I probably would have left them holding it as I walked away.

The email about the shower may be considered rude, but it doesn't really bother me.

Sorry, I'm one of those who don't want to waste money on something that isn't needed or wanted.

Well if they have already established a household together, no need for a Shower.

I would say something about them having the manners of a hillbilly, but I don't want to insult the hillbilly's, who have superior manners.

well, there are certainly others here more learned in wedding etiquette than myself but aren't wedding invitations supposed to arrive by mail ?--can't imagine focusing on anything other than the family and their bereavement at a funeral--especially if they're close to us--seems pretty damned squirrelly and selfish

  I live in the Ozarks  and  found the true hillbillies  are not white trash but polite hardworking  people.

I am going to look for a wedding invite that we just got. You won't believe it. Seriously it's the tackiest thing I have ever seen. It refers you to their website - which is the show stopper. I will dig through this pile of mail and post pics. It's too much for words.

The stores are pushing the website thing. Eight years ago when I got married they all gave use little business cards telling people how to go to the website and buy for us. Then it left a line for us to fill in our account number. I gave a couple to my bridesmaids so people could call them and threw the rest away.

Her website really fills in all the details about the wedding. I can't even begin to describe the insanity. When I find what I did with the invite I will start a thread on it. It's just too much in the worst possible way.

When I got married the first time, in 1983, I registered at the local department store. If asked where I was registered, I would tell them. Registering was done in those days. But it was not included in the invitation. It was conveyed only if asked, by word of mouth. But back then, people actually communicated with one another by picking up the phone and calling.
