What is the difference between a corsage and a boutonniere?
B) Corsages are worn by women, boutonnieres are worn by men. The words come from French, boutonniere comes from "button hole" where men could stick a flower in their lapel, and the word corsage comes from "corset" or "bodice". Despite the origins of the words having a gendered connotation, there is no difference required between the look and style of corsages and boutonnieres, especially pinned corsages which are made to be worn on a women's suit or tuxedo jacket (corsages can be made to be worn on the wrist, too). Nowadays the terms can almost be used interchangeably, and if the wearer is beyond the binary, call it whatever you want!

A) Recessional
What is this cake style called?

A marriage license and marriage certificate are the same thing - true or false?

If you're invited to a wedding but cannot go, do you send a gift?
A) Yes - traditional etiquette states that if you receive a wedding invitation you need to send a gift, even if you do not attend the wedding. This is different from showers, for example, where you only need to give a gift if you attend.
How should you convey registry information to your guests?
D) On your wedding website, or E) None of these. You can spread registry information by word of mouth or via your wedding website, or you can skip having a registry all together, of course. The only rules of traditional etiquette for this state that registry information cannot go on the invitation.
