FH and I recently started getting our RSVPs back for our wedding! It is SO exciting and I'm dying to check the mail every day. A few things have been driving me crazy though. My parents are divorced and my dad stated he wasn't going to send his back because I know he's going... But I don't know what he wants to eat and I spent money on the stamp, I want the RSVP back. He admitted he didn't even look at what the meal options were! Second, I saw my grandmother (dad's mother) the other day and she was asking about wedding stuff. She asked if we had been getting a lot of RSVPs back and I said yes and mentioned how I love checking the mail. I asked if she sent hers in and she said no because the due date wasn't for another two weeks... Honestly, I think she wants me to chase her down. I think she wants me to have to call and ask what she's getting as a way to trap me into an hour long conversation... I haven't been able to see her as often as I normally would due to final stages of wedding planning and see her once a month instead of every two weeks like I used to. I feel like that frustrates her even though she understands that I'm busy.
Lastly, I got an RSVP back from my aunt, uncle, and cousin. For the meal choices, they put a "2" next to one option and wrote "see attached" at the bottom. My aunt wrote a note requesting a chicken finger dinner or plain Caesar salad for my cousin as she would not eat either option.... I was appalled! I'm inviting you as a guest to my wedding and you are going to give meal suggestions for your daughter who is about to be a sophomore in high school?! Part of me doesn't want to accommodate the request because this cousin of mine is a spoiled brat, as you can see, and her parents never say no to her. Keep in mind that the chicken option is a panko crusted chicken which is pretty much a giant chicken finger and was listed on the RSVP card. At the same time, I feel like I have to accommodate the request because we are having our ring bearer and flower girl attend our reception and they will be needing kids meals (chicken fingers and fries) as they are six and four years old. We are having six passed appetizers along with a cheese station, salad, rolls, the meal which would have potatoes and vegetables, our wedding cake, and cheeseburger sliders with fries for our late night snack. There would be plenty of food for her to eat. Growing up, my mother never would have allowed me to do that. She either would have made me eat before I went or would have said there's salad, rolls, and potatoes and that I should deal with it. Maybe it would have been one thing if my aunt had texted or called me instead of putting it in a note attached to the card.. Also, I'm not even sure if the venue would allow us to do a kids meal for a teenager since the age is capped at 11 on our menu options.
What is the craziest thing that happened to you when you got your RSVP's back?
