I'm going to lose it, wedding style.

I always thought people were dramatic about how crazy people get about weddings. I thought my peeps were normal enough. We are 8 days out. 8. In the last two days I've gotten: --A couple that declined (after the deadline that I had to chase down for even that)...caught us in the store. Now "I do...

I always thought people were dramatic about how crazy people get about weddings. I thought my peeps were normal enough. We are 8 days out. 8. In the last two days I've gotten:


--A couple that declined (after the deadline that I had to chase down for even that)...caught us in the store. Now "I do have a Friday off coming up...if it happens to be that Friday, are we still invited?"

--A cousin that has NEVER been in a relationship. Introduced us to her first boyfriend after invites were out but before RSVPs were due. I messaged her privately and invited said boyfriend. She was thrilled. Told me he would be there, sent me the outfit he was wearing, and wrote him in on the RSVP. Now "she doesn't know if he ever asked off work but she'll be there either way." Smiley angry

--Another cousin, also not in a relationship but found out cousin A was bringing her boyfriend (maybe) "So....can I get a plus one too or is it too late?"


PEOPLE! Seating chart is done....escort cards are done....caterer is paid. LEAVE ME ALONE!!

    Haha girl I feel you my mom made the final payment to the caterer Monday and later that day calls and says one of her cousins isnt coming after all. She was annoyed that she hadn't found out a few hours earlier.
    And I'm still waiting on my aunt to let me know which family member of hers is attending with her. -_- 2 of the 4 kids are definite nos, my uncle was supposed to get his next schedule yesterday as to if hes coming or not and the other 2 cousins are wildcards. I printed an escort card for each of them just so I could get that done.

    Ugh agreed, our rsvp’s were due a couple days ago and I went ahead and asked a few friends about theirs and they’re like we’re definitely coming but we’ll let you know about a plus one soon! And I’m like ya had a whole month to find a plus one and now I want to revoke it! Lol

    Smiley winking I totally did that too! Escort cards are easy enough to switch out. But losing out on people after payments is.....the worst.

    Hahaha I'd be super tempted. I totally get the "your wedding isn't as important to anyone else" thing....but there's a difference in it being important vs just being downright rude! Ugh.

    Why do people do this? It's not a random potluck or bbq. Even then, just don't lol.

    Maybe they think they are VIP enough?? I think I'd barely do it for my own mother, and even then I'd be pretty upset about it lol!

    Story of my life! While I'm not at the point of 8 days but I'm tired of everybody at less than 30 days out. My answer to all of your issues would be NO. No plus ones, No you can't come just because you MIGHT change your mind. Like you said.... wedding lists are done!
