Does it have to be this hard??

So this evening as I was laying on the couch rebooting after a day of school and babysitting, I was yet again forced to listen to wedding talk as Jan and our cousin sat there and talked about invitation adresses for about an hour. It's horrible to sit through the conversations. "I wanna invite Matt, but do I put Matt or Matthew on the invite," or "What if there's a bunch of kids?" These conversations are getting really old really fast. Does it matter how you write someone's name on an invite? I mean does anyone really pay that close attention to it, they're just gonna tear it up anyway. Hell, if and when I get married, I'm just going to ride around town with a megaphone letting everyone I wanted to know that they're invited. I'd save a shit ton of money, and it'd be very interesting to see what kind of results it yields. People would rsvp by sticking there head out the window and saying yes or no. That'd be totally awesome to see happen. However, I think Emily Post would be a little distraught over this method. There's something to think about, why are there so many rules to follow with this kind of stuff. Why do you have to be formal when sending a wedding invite, but not if it were just regular mail? Why can't planning a wedding be easier than this. I'm totally against weddings now.
