Again, surprised of the audacity of some people.

Renay, on March 6, 2020 at 11:36 AM Posted in Community Conversations 1 10

Brides and Grooms are the only people I know who truly appreciate how annoying this is, so I've decided to share the latest in the long lines of people amazing me with their audacity while I am wedding planning.

In the last 2 weeks we have had no less than 8 people ask if they are invited to the wedding. Did you receive an invitation in the mail? No? Then NO. We are 7 weeks away, if you were invited, you would know.

One was an old scouts buddy of FH they haven't seen each other or spoke other than a comment or 2 on facebook since FH got his Eagle Scout 6 years ago.

One was an old coworker that FH hasn't worked with in 3 years.

2 were people from our church, that we are not close to.

1 was FMILs friend's daughter that FH and I have only met once.

The other people were all people we knew from high school, and have not seen since.

On top of that MY BROTHER, who lives halfway across the country and has said numerous times he did not think/know if would make it home for the wedding called and said d he and his girlfriend( who I met once for 20 minutes) bought their plane tickets, and he needed to know ASAP if they were going to be a part of the bridal party...

WHAT?!

    People drive me crazy. I already my mom and FMIL that I don’t want to be involved with other people’s travel plans and hotels because they’ll keep bugging me. I don’t have hotels blocked, they can book flights and hotels themselves.

    Did you not know that life events are open to everyone you ever passed on the street? LOL. While I may be hurt if I did not get an invite I would not ask someone and I agree it is rude to ask are you invited. Clearly they are not lol. So sorry.

    Yeah it’s annoying aha people assume a lot of things. As if weddings aren’t supposed to be intimate and as if they’re inexpensive to host or something

    Yeah. I totally understand. I have got a few of those questions as well. It gets soo annoying and it was just off of the save the dates! I was bruh chill. I didn't respond to any of them. I felt bad and I also didn't know what to say to that I was like how do I put this politely enough. Then said F it. It is so uncomfortable.

    It is very annoying. When it comes to weddings, people assume they play a bigger role in your life than they sometimes actually do. We're going to my FH's family reunion next week, and because of the sheer size of his family, everyone can't and won't be invited. I told him we need to be prepared for these types of questions and aligned in our response.

    Yep! I plan to invite just 1 co-worker that I'm super close to, and her husband to my wedding. She came up to me yesterday and said "can you invite Valerie and her husband too so we have someone to talk to?" (Valerie is another co-worker). I kinda awkwardly laughed and said I'll see how the invite numbers come back. She then proceeded to say oh sorry, that was dumb to say. Yes, yes it is!!!! Like just stop. Although now I'm second guessing myself if every couple I invite should have a "buddy" couple. Maybe Valerie WILL get an invite lol Agghghghggh.

    My best friend’s mom keeps asking my mom if she and her husband are going to be invited to the wedding. I haven’t even finalized my guest list yet. I was thinking about inviting them, but now that she keeps asking I’m not sure I will.

    Ugh it truly amazes me how ridiculous people can be sometimes... Like, how in the world did you think you'd be invited/part of the bridal party?? Dealing with this myself! Ridiculously annoying and blows my mind.

    That's tough - I'm sure I'll hit more of that after invitations are out. I try to be careful about how and when I talk about the wedding - only when asked, and I try to sprinkle in "it'll be very small" or something when we're in mixed company.


    Hopefully that will clue people in without needing to ask, but I'm not holding my breath. God luck!
