I currently have Verizon and am happy with reception in most places (living in Atlanta, but have traveled to many larger cities). I will be moving to Winston-Salem, NC and am considering an iPhone - thus a switch to AT&T. Can anyone provide information on the reception in Winston-Salem or the surrounding areas (High Point, Greensboro) from personal experience?

Thanks!!!

My fiance and myself have lived in 4 different cities recently, and have many close friends and family that we would like to include as guests to our wedding ceremony and reception. We decided to have our ceremony/reception about 1 hour from my parents' hometown and 10 hours from his parents' home.

My parents have many close friends who have already asked to help throw a bridal shower. I would like to invite everyone, including the extended list of people who would most likely be invited to these showers; however, based on our numbers of close friends/family, we are already over our budget. I just can't prioritize all my parents' close friends over my and my fiance's own friends.

I know that it is inappropriate and rude to invite anyone to a shower who is not being invited to the wedding. We are planning to have a post-wedding reception in my fiance's hometown after our honeymoon, because most people invited to the wedding will be unable to attend. Can anyone give advice on whether it would be rude or inappropriate to allow a post-wedding reception in my hometown for my parents' friends and extended family whom we simply can't afford to invite to the wedding/ceremony?

It is appropriate to allow my parents' friends and/or my extended family to host a post-wedding reception in their hometown (an hour from the ceremony) if the guests to the post-wedding reception are not invited to the ceremony?

Thanks!!
