Any One Else or am i just a Sociopath?

Yes! The coworkers and obligated distance family were cut due to covid guidelines reducing us to 50. I was happy when I got no’s, because it saved us from one more awkward “thanks but we have to cancel our invite” conversation. And saved a ton on catering and alcohol.

We received 3 RSVP with declines for 10 one weekend we were away. We split a beer at 7 am after bringing in 4 days mail, to celebrate. We had assumed two of the managing partners of hubby's job of 6 months would come, with wives, because their response to his request for time off was to declare that they will be happy to come, and that both wives love weddings. And 2 sisters and one sister in law who were pregnant did not want to travel, wonderful because the 2 wives and one husband of these 3 sibs hubby loves but is not close to, are totally obnoxious and childish. He couldn't not invite 3 of his 12 sibs whom he gets on with because of spouses, and 3 7-8 month pregnancies made it possible. The only RSVP with declines were the Right ones. Yay .

This post now hits me right in the feels, as the table of 6 cousins we were told we had to invite ("but they won't come, it's so far and they haven't seen you!"...nope) is stressing me out. We aren't aligned with them on the existence of covid and other ideological differences - I'm sitting here wondering why the heck they want to come anyway since they wouldn't like us as people. I guess an open bar will bring out all kinds 😜
I hope all of us make it through our weddings, even with some not so welcome guests - this room doesn't have enough corners sometimes. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I only invited people I wanted at the wedding. Like which people were you talking about?


So far I only had my church wedding ceremony my party is October so far.

GIRL YES!!! I do too. I am so not a social butterfly and if it was up to me we wouldn't have invited anyone but family and our super close friends.

Me me me!! Hahah I always wondered if I was alone in this too!

I completely understand that! We had some obligatory invites and when I got they declined I was thrilled

Girl I feel ya! We came up with our guest list before Covid and sent out save-the-dates when it seemed like it was going away. These are all people we would typically love to celebrate with, but seeing how so many weddings have had to downsize has put things in a new perspective and made us realize who are “must haves” are. Emotionally I’m glad that we haven’t had to cut the list and are still able to invite everyone to at least let them know we treasure them, but logically I understand that many won’t be comfortable attending and am thankful that it will lead to a smaller crowd!

This was me lol!!!!! Unfortunately we got very new no's , but when we did, I was like "thank God, one less person to feed!" lol.
