"I better be invited"

I have a feeling I'm in for one this weekend. Old friend is coming into town for work and asked to visit and stay with us. Wouldn't be the worst to add her but she hasn't been in my life for years now...

Yeah! I had a couple and some of them didn't even come... after I already paid for them for food and bar

Lol right! People I haven't spoken to in like 5 years come out of the woodwork to message me saying they better get an invite....

Yes!!! I had a girl from work who I can't stand just assume she was invited and keeps telling people she cannot wait!!! Huh???? Lol

I don't understand why these people want to attend so badly.

Yes!!! Hate it!

Omg yessssss but I think I am very blunt and straight to the point. So after the 7th or 8th time I let them know. If I can not call you to say hey I got a flat can you pick my kids up, I'm not invited to your family functions or kids parties then no you will not be invited.

People at work keep telling me they can't wait to come to my wedding but I wasn't planning on inviting anyone from work! I like the people I work with but I'm just not that close to anyone. I've been just smiling and brushing it off but I should probably start telling people it's going to be small or something

Ive had a few people say this to me but they were mostly people who I could respond to with "of course youre invited!"

The awkward ones have been FHs extended family. They kept asking for details on facebook (interestingly enough we dont even have a date yet). Back story: FH basically got disowned by his family six years ago. He hasnt been home since 2011. So we are inviting his mom, dad, sisters, and their SOs. However, I finally replied to his aunts "we are planning a really really small weddingnl for fall of 2018."

I had someone ask to be a "backup guest".... I work with her and then she proceeded to be such a B to me the rest of the day.... as if we had that kind of joking friendship....mmm no

If anyone says this to me I might tell them if they show up they better bring bail money because security will call police and anyone without an invitation will be arrested. I also have a couple friends who are 6'6 and look like they could bench press a freight train that I've considered hiring for just such a purpose and to keep FH's family from causing drama.

Yes! This happened to me too. It's unbelievable. If it were reversed, I would never expect an invite!

YUP! I get SO uncomfortable when people say it... I usually go with awkward laughter and walk away. It's not a great response! Haha.

Once we announced we were engaged, FH's SIL's ex step mother (they're very close still) commented on the fb post his mom shared saying she better be invited. Um we've only been around you for like 3 hours total ever. No you're not invited.

I'm expecting a lot of these because I have a fairly big family that always butts into things when there's attention to be had. Family member winds up in the hospital, second cousin once removed shows up in the waiting room kind of thing. We're only inviting immediate family so I'm expecting to hear a lot of complaining once they find out.

Shoot if one more person say something to me, I'm gone say $70pp lol

Yes! One of my old friends mom did this to me. I haven't even talked to her daughter in 5 or 6 years let alone her!

I assumed that I was invited to a wedding that is happening on Sunday. One of my brothers friends is getting married, he would always come over our house when we were younger, I met his FW a couple of times, I even asked him about wedding planning when I saw him last month. I would ask my bro if his friend sent out invites yet and he said no- they were really behind on that. So I'm like ok, maybe they didn't send the invites yet.

Here is the kicker lol. Both of my brothers are IN the wedding and my favorite cousin ( who is one of my BMs) just flew in from Boston to attend the wedding ( they had a lil fling back in the day) So I'm like dang.... I'm not invited lol . I didn't confront the friend that's getting married because I know what he went through creating the guest list. You are not invited just because of family or relation.. oh wells

One of my brothers' friends told me he wanted to be invited. I told him our wedding would be in Ohio (he lives in Illinois, which is where I'm from) but he stood firm and said he would make the drive. We used to be friends too, as he was always at our house when we were growing up, but I haven't talked to him in years so I was super surprised. But he was at my older sister's wedding 8 years ago, and he was my brother's BM at his wedding in June, so he's been pretty close to our family forever so I'll probably invite him.

Pretty much no one has asked us this (apparently we are unpopular and totally ok with it).

The only WTF moment we had in regards to our guest list was my sister's FILs (i posted about this a while ago..) Her MIL asked me questions about it and assumed they were invited. I said the small guest list thing and that it was in FL and they were like, oh well thats too far for us ( my brain is screaming THANK GOD!!!)

Other than that, no one on FB or anything else has expected to be invited that wasnt like SiberianMama (who is in the wedding) or my other friend who is also a BM. you know, people we expect to want to be included.

This happened to me too with a girl I was friends with back in high school! She moved away and we don't talk to each other and said she better be invited. incredibly rude!
