My fiance and I are planning to have a no guest wedding and I was wondering what the ettiquette would be for announcement afterwards. We would also like to have a celebration at a later date, Would it be wrong to register for gifts and include that in the invites for a celebration?

If there is a celebration, then do include the registry.

I work in a building with double doors and just about everyday people go against what I THINK is the proper ettiquette for entering and exiting double doors. Either I will open the door on my right side to enter and a person exiting will try to squeeze through my door as if I am opening it for them when I am already halfway through the door – not to be rude but use your own door that is why it is there. Or, a person exiting will use the left door instead of their right door nearly hitting me in the face as I am reaching for my right door to enter. Or someone exiting will hold the left door for me to enter on the left rather than the right as if I should squeeze past them to enter when I have my own door – I usually say thank you but enter through my right door. I think the ettiquette is to always stay to the right to avoid collisions and awkwardness.

Yes, just like the rules of the road, in walking (in the US) we stay to the right. I usually adhere to that. However, if someone holds the door for me on the other side and no one else is coming, I will take the other door and thank them.

What is the proper ettiquette when sending a payment to the attorney with a money order?

Have the money order drawn payable to the attorney. Put it in a proper envelope and mail it. They’re mercenary and totally unconcerned about etiquette when it comes to collecting. Besides, the attorney will never see the money order or how it is delivered anyway, his/her clerk will. So worry about nothing.

Stupid question……I was at the park yesterday with my fiance and our 18 mo old twins and I am one of those hovering moms that follows them like a hawk. So when they fall or get hurt, I am there. But moms of kids that are a bit older seem to be no where to be found. So when they get hurt, I feel some sort of obligation to run towards their kids–since I am right there. I asked my fiance what he thinks the ettiquette is, and he has no clue. What is your views?

If a child is hurt and obviously needs help then help the child. If they have a simple fall and are crying let them go. They will either find their missing parent or continue playing. Many parents become overly upset if you "baby" their children for a simple fall or bruise. Seeing if the child is ok is fine but never touch the child unless you think they have a true emergency. Some parents immediately become defensive if your touching their child when they come over. Which is almost as ridiculous as not watching your child in the first place. If you happen to have to deal with one of these idiot parents hold your ground and remember your the better person because you actually cared what happened to the child.
