I'm just in awe of some people and their audacity... anyone else have this happen?

    It still amazes me that some people think they're so deserving of an invite to your wedding, even though they don't even talk to you on a normal basis.

    I had one acquaintance, who I actually tried to hang out with more than she would reciprocate (she was always so busy, or use the excuse I lived too far... I was in the Pasadena area on my own and she lived at home with her parents in W. LA). I got sick of asking if she wanted to hang out so I did stop asking for awhile, its not like she ever asked....

    Well, fast forward to when my STD's went out (via email), she didn't get one and I get a FB message, not a text or phone call...or even an email..but a FB message... that says "Well I guess I'm not invited to your wedding" .

    I clearly wanted to say...."what makes you think you would be?" I was nice and just said "we haven't finalized our guest list yet," she didn't get an invite in the end, and hasn't even tried to reach out to me since. I could really careless about her friendship, its not like she was even a "real" friend for long to begin with(maybe like a year we were actual friends....)

    some people...

    My uncle's ex wife whom he divorced when I was 2 years old called my aunt and said she was devastated and extremely upset I did not invite her to our wedding but I invited my cousin (her son). She has been out of the family for 23 years, I have no relationship with her and she hasn't cared to contact me or know how I have been in the past 23 years, so why now????? So annoying.

    Yeah, I got a drunken rant-y email from a former college friend. He and I didn't actually hit it off very well when we first met, the relationship was tentative at best from then on out, and he still hates FH despite FH only knowing of his existence from me. Plus, I hadn't talked to him or seen him in ~7 years. Why would he expect an invite???

    What he got was a unfriending and blocking and a me telling those who mattered what he wrote so we could laugh at him.

    @Kelly H Oh no!! I work with at-risk kids and it's the huge troublemakers that keep bugging me. I don't think any of them are related to our vendors though.

    I wonder if people want to go to weddings so bad so they can get free alcohol and a date.

    So I explained to her that even some family members won't be getting invited and she says "weddings are expensive I understand. Let me know where you're registered and your address so I can still send a gift" oi vey! And now I'm feeling the guilt.

    My exs new girlfriend (who I love) invited herself and my ex to our wedding. I felt bad like I couldn't say no because she's so sweet. So needless to say my ex will be there. Yay for not having a back bone.

    We ordered save the dates super early to take advantage of a Groupon. FMIL asked for one and I had messed one up with a stamp on the back so I gave her that one.

    Her in laws were at the house this weekend and keep mentioning that they were concerned that they didn't get theirs yet and were hurt. They refused to believe we haven't actually sent any out yet.

    We have another couple months to send them. People need to chill!

    What surprised me the most were the amount of people who suddenly wanted to get together, even though we haven't spoken in YEARS. I didn't realize my wedding would be something that people were dying to go to.

    I had a couple people email after we got engaged asking about logistics of the wedding, assuming they were invited. Some asked about the venue within hours of us getting engaged.

    My stock answer is "we are having a very small wedding, mostly family". It's kind of true. It's frustrating but we are firm on the list we created. STDs went out since many are OOT and we are not adding from there.

    Our families and wedding party take up probably 3/4 of the guest list, so we have very little room for "normal" friends. And we both know a lot of people, which made the selection process difficult. We haven't sent out STDs yet. But about a month or 2 ago, FH's douchebag of a boss invited himself to a small cookout. Granted it was mostly work people and their significant others, nobody really wanted him there. THEN he talked about how drunk he was going to get at our wedding... Like sorry but you're not invited and nobody even likes you.

    I just can't WAIT for whatever else we encounter once we actually start sending things out...

    I had this happen to me just a few days ago.

    My mom called and mentioned that her sister (my Aunty) said that FH and I had gotten our count wrong because her daughters (my cousin) boyfriend wasn't counted on the invitation.

    Thank god my mom answered how I would have..."I'm sorry but the count is correct, their seating is very limited so they invited close family and friends"

    I guess my Aunty was okay with it as my mom hasn't mentioned her saying anything after that.

    However, when we first got engaged my ex boss (I changed jobs but I work a few doors down from my old job) kept telling me "I better get an invite"......to this day i run into him occasionally and he always asks me when the wedding is, or how is the wedding planning going....trying to hint to me he wants to be invited. Soo awkward, I try to avoid him at all costs.

    What is the weirdest thing to me is that when my FH first got engaged it seemed like no one really cared we were getting married. No one really said anything to us or asked us about wedding plans, which is fine. Fast forward to a year later, every time we go out, everyone is making comments and asking us about the wedding (we don't even post on social media about the wedding) and they are hoping to get invited. I'm flattered that they want to attend but...WTF?! It makes you question if these people think they are close to you in some way. Very odd.

    Some of these are so shocking!

    A girl my FH went to college with and I have never met texted him after she saw our STD on a friends fridge and said "here's my address so you can send my save the date" .. Um, no thanks.
