> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by featherlou \* > \*\*Sending people mail **telling** them (not asking them) what they owe for donations takes a lot of nerve. I think I’ll send out my wedding invitations with a reminder to people that they **must** buy us a gift, and it should be **at least** equal to the amount of money I’m spending per guest on the reception.:rolleyes: \*\* Believe it or not, some people actually DO this: [www.etiquettehell.com](http://www.etiquettehell.com) I remember my grandmother’s church once published an insert in their bulletin that showed the names of the parish and exactly how much they donated. Talk about tacky! **matt** , you might want to ask this man if he’s heard of the Father Benz case? Our former pastor was found to be embezzeling millions from our church and his last parish-spent on himself and down in Atlantic City.
