Amusing Arguments About Guest Lists

Mandi, on July 10, 2019 at 12:50 AM Posted in Planning 0 3
Guess who is apparently sending one invitation to my fiances uncle, his baby mama, his kid, and his girlfriend? That's us. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I told the fiance this was stupid. But the FMIL insists baby mama has to be invited. TBH, girlfriend may be accidentally forgotten. What the dang heck?

After seeing WAY TOO MANY people on this forum say "just dont write the kids names on the invite, don't say adults only" I'm glad to know I was right in thinking this was terrible advice. I asked the fiance how to spell his 4 year old cousins name so I could put it on the save the date. To which he told me "she's a baby, you dont have to invite her. She will just show up with her mother."
To which I reminded him that we are doing online invites and have to have every invited guest listed on there. And that we're probably doing assigned seating and her 4 year old butt will need a chair so she can avoid sitting in it.

Wish me luck.

We're going to a wedding in November with a formal dress code. (I've never heard of such a thing really.) But I'm hoping he & my future in laws get a tiny bit of culture shock and start realizing I'm pretty chill about this wedding crap.

    Wow!!! Some people just don’t understand things until they seen them elsewhere!! I decided to say “adults only” on my save the dates and only addressed it to the couple... I do have one of my bridesmaids with a toddler so I know what you mean by adding the kid names online cuz I added it so they can RSVP!!!
    good luck!!

    I never thought inviting the baby mama was a necessity especially if he has a separate girlfriend?? Wth? My FH's older half brother has a child and WAS with his baby mama/that was his girlfriend. But they no longer live together and from the sounds of it they broke up so I said good, less drama. We are only inviting him and his kid. We did by name! A 4 year old isn't insinuated only infants/under 1 and even then you normally write all the names haha. I've already had my FH's cousins say they wanted to come without their kids actually. Which I was glad about.

    Ha. I thought the whole thing was ridiculous.
    But I guess the daughter isnt allowed to go anywhere without the mother.
    The new girlfriend could very well be gone by the time the wedding happens.
