Myth: You shouldn't say "no children" on the invite
Truth: If you don't say no children, there will be children at your wedding. And hurt feelings. Believe it.

Myth: A white dress is only supposed to be worn by a virginal bride.
Truth: A white dress signifies that a bride has never been married before (source: too many Miss Manners columns to count).
Myth: The value of a wedding gift should cover the estimated cost of the guest's or guests' dinner at the reception.
Truth: The value of a wedding gift should match what the guests find reasonable and affordable (again, too many Miss Manners columns to count).

Myth: The bride is the point person for all guest wedding related questions.
Reality: H to the No! We've already got too much going on. Talk to our moms or a bridesmaid before you come to us. If they can't figure it out, we'll help you then!
Myth: the bride and groom shouldn't see each other before the ceremony. It's bad luck!
Truth: this is a hold over from the days when arranged marriages meant a bride and groom may have never met and was intended to prevent the groom from running off if he found his betrothed unattractive. I think we can retire this one.

The ones I have been hearing the most lately are:
Myth: The bride and groom have one year to send thank-you notes.
Truth: All thank you notes should be written within three months of the receipt of the gift.
Myth: Guests have one year to give a gift.
Truth: Contrary to a current rumor that you have a year to send a gift, it really should be sent right away or within three months of the wedding.
What etiquette "rules" have you read or heard about?
