How do you word on an invitation that the guests are responsible for paying their own bill?
You don't . This is a completely unacceptable idea. If you can't afford a proper reception, just take your Wedding party to a small dinner, or have a small at home reception , cake and champagne only. In this case, you may invite people for cake and a toast to the happy couple. Better yet, stick to the Wedding party, and send announcements out AFTER the wedding. This way any gifts sent will be totally voluntary.Your real friends will understand if you cannot afford a reception.
What should you do if you have been invited to a wedding but you do not know the bride or groom?
* If you know the parents or a relative of the bride and groom and you received an invitation then you should go to the wedding even though you don't know the bride or groom or, you also have the choice of giving an excuse as to why you can't attend if it makes you uncomfortable. If someone was invited and asked you along as a guest then it's your choice to go or not go and if you do you don't need to give a wedding gift, but your date or friend does.

A shower is built into a bathroom that is used for washing the body. An alternative to a bathtub, a shower is designed to allow a person to step in, close the door or curtain and stand upright. Turn knobs on the wall to receive hot and cold running http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Special:Wysiwyg?tid=wysiwyg# flowing down like rain from a faucet or shower head located on the wall above the standing person's head. The water continues to flow over the person as she washes her body, and the used water collects at the bottom of the shower, flowing out the centrally located drain and into the sewer. Showers can be made of fiberglass, glass, stone, acrylic or tile.
The Water's PathWhen the knobs are turned in a shower, water is pumped through the pipes. The water is pressurized, beginning from a water main located in the front of your house (or from a http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Special:Wysiwyg?tid=wysiwyg# well), through a water meter (if from city water not well water), and piped into a water heater in your house. The water breaks off into two separate hot and cold pipes at the water heater. The cold water bypasses the water heater and goes directly to the cold water shower line, the hot water from the water heater is dispatched into the hot water shower line as that knob is turned. The hot and cold shower knobs are adjusted until the person in the shower achieves optimum flow and desired temperature. The drain of a shower collects the water. There are vent pipes near the drainage lines that send sewer gases out of the pipes up through the roof to maintain air pressure for the soiled water to continue to flow down and out.
The DiverterSome shower assemblies are not separate but instead located high up on the wall of a standard bathtub. When the hot and cold knobs are turned on, and water is flowing from the bathtub faucet, the knobs are adjusted until the correct temperature is reached. Then a diverter must be turned to stop the water from flowing out of the tub faucet, and instead sending the water up the pipe to the shower head. The diverter is usually located on the tub faucet itself, or on the shower assembly.

Who should give a bridal shower?
That is a good question...if the engagment is broken or in the case of divorce..who does keep the shower gifts...are those the brides, the grooms, or separated according to the giver?
First of all, don't use your gifts til AFTER the wedding. If the engagement is broken off, gifts should be returned to the giver. If there is a divorce, be grown-ups and divide them fairly. The exception is gifts from family members should stay in that family, especially anything like heirlooms . To take something from the other person, like an embroidered tablecloth from Granny, would be just tacky.
What is the phrase used in Jewish wedding when they stomp the glass?
When the glass is 'stomped', the public wedding ceremony is over. No phrase is prescribed at
that point in the ceremony, any more than the composer's manuscript of a symphony specifies
that "bravo" or hand-clapping should be included at a certain point in its performance. Similarly,
many of the friends and relatives in attendance are often moved to yell out "bravo", "way da go",
"awesome", or "at last !" when the end of the public ceremony arrives with a 'stomp'. The most
common cheer at that instant at a Jewish wedding is "Mazal Tov !" ... the common Jewish way
of expressing ones wish for the good luck and good fortune of others.

AnswerThe Wedding MC allows the bride and groom (as well as the wedding guests) to enjoy themselves at the wedding reception. A very small reception might not need a Wedding MC although it is helpful to have someone to introduce those who are giving wedding speeches and wedding toasts.
Sometimes the bride and groom only want one person to make a formal wedding speech or wedding toast, and they may appoint the Wedding MC to do so.
Unless it is a very small, intimate gathering, you should consider having a Wedding Master of Ceremonies to look after all the details at the wedding reception.
