Out of Office Reply

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 31

I work in an office and use email regularly. I need to make an out of office reply for when I'm gone on my honeymoon. Should I mention that I'm gone for my honeymoon or just that I'm out of the office and when I'll be back?

    Um no, no one cares where you are. Standard out of office email is fine. Personally, I never do them at all.

    I like how for most of you, your only intention in your responses to the person who asked this question is to shame this person for even asking. This is why wedding website forums suck.

    AMEN!! The best thing I ever did in planning this wedding was getting off the forums. Mind you, I stumbled across this trying to find out if there was proper wording for the OOO reply. People on here take it way too far.

    Yeah I left Wedding Wire after this. Everytime I posted something I felt like I was judged super hard just for a stupid question. Some brides can be kinda crazy.

    Out of the office, no one needs to know what you're doing and those who matter will probably already know. Also I will not be looking at my emails or phone calls lol

    I totally agree with you about the negative comments. It was a simple question and depends on the company. I work at a company with a culture of sharing your fun trips and why you are out of the office especially when it comes to your family time. The messages on here are rude and appalling. Lets bring each other up rather than put people down!

    WOW why is everyone being so rude?! In my company culture, funny OOOs are the norm. I'm definitely putting a silly OOO for my wedding and honeymoon. It's the one time you can; embrace it! And, people care! It gives your clients something to talk to you about.

    Probably because you're going to be out for 2-3 weeks and they feel compelled to explain why.
