10 days and gma is inviting people

Denise, on September 2, 2019 at 6:47 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 8

So My wedding is a little over a week out and my grandmother is making things VERY difficult. Firstly my uncle is in the hospital, he had a stroke over the weekend. Anyway, while she was visiting she decided that some people who we had decided to cut from the list (It was a really hard decision but we just didn't have the room and they're very distant relatives, so they got cut) where really important for the day of. So, she invited them, just straight up "Oh, you're coming to Denise's wedding, right? Yeah here's the details!" and then called me AFTER to TELL me she did. Not ask me, tell me they were definitely coming!

Also, we told her that since we don't have a large budget, we'll be setting it up mostly ourselves. So she proceeds to pop my bubble with "Well, what are people going to say when they find our that's where we are? They'll all be down there to chat and visit like family does" Yes, imagine attitude with that. Anyway I told my mom that I'm going to be very upset if she tells people where we are.

To clarify, My wedding ceremony is small and is on the 13th and we are having a large reception on the 14th to celebrate. We haven't been lying or trying to bend the truth, we are telling everyone that's the plan so everyone will know.

What do I do? I can't UN-invite these people!

    Wow I think you need to speak to your grandmother and explain this to her. It’s rude to invite other people and if you don’t talk to her she might do it again before the wedding.

    Yikes! That’s a tough situation. Perhaps discuss with your grandmother how it is the budget impacting your decision, not the love for your family! Perhaps your family would be understanding of this as well? Are they invited to the reception? If so ask them to just join for that. If not explain to them that you had to make really though choices because of money being tight and that you would love to have dinner with them in a few months after the wedding to celebrate privately with them.

    If anyone did that to me, I don't care who, I would kindly tell them to either contact and uninvite whomever they spoke with or write a check to cover the extra persons.

    This, 100%. Your grandmother already knew you didn't have the budget for these extra uninvited guests. There's really no excuse for her behavior, so don't feel bad!

    YOU don't un-invite these people, grandma does! Although tbh you didn't invite them so I would consider it a non-issue, let grandma turn them away!

    Your gma needs to call them and uninvited them. Your venue had to have asked for a final guest count by now and there won't be any seats or food for them.

    No sorry you cant invitee these guest but I wouldn't come to an invite I wasn't officially invited via invitation. The only person who can call them and explain their haste is your grandma by saying that there isn't any room or that your budget wont allow it or she helps pay for them.
