FH's cousin (who got engaged a couple of months after we did) sent us a save the date a few months ago with just FH's name on it (we live together), I thought it was tacky but i said w.e., we've only met 1 or 2 times.

FH's cousin (who got engaged a couple of months after we did) sent us a save the date a few months ago with just FH's name on it (we live together), I thought it was tacky but i said w.e., we've only met 1 or 2 times. Originally, they weren't going to be invited to ours since we've never met her & he speaks to FH once every couple of years. To be polite, we sent them a save the date back with both his & his fiancee's name back in March.

Yesterday, I check the mail & we get a wedding invitation from them that says FH's name (spelled incorrectly) & guest. When we opened the invitation, it says *NO CHILDREN, MONENTARY GIFTS ONLY* spelled MONENTARY.

Needless to say I was insulted because 2 times you failed to put my name on the invitation(FH thinks that it wasn't intentional), you spelled FH's name wrong & you DEMAND money? WTF? Now we have no intentions of going 2 theirs but don't know what to do about inviting them to ours.

Not cute. Anyone else got stories like this?

    OMG! So basically they spelled their own name wrong? That's just bad.

    Our worst gift request was a friend of FH's that's getting married three weeks after us. His fiance told us to only buy them something off the registry for their engagement party or she didn't want a gift. And one of their engagement gifts (not from the registry), that we watched them open, they regifted to us at Christmas!

    @Allyson !!!!!!! I would have cracked up. FH & I don't have a registry because we have lived together for 5 years, we don't need any more stuff but we also are not asking for any money. If you come to our wedding, its because we want to share our day with you, not because we are getting anything out of it. To demand on the invitation that I give you money is just disgusting. & yes, she spelled her own future last name wrong. How does that happen? lol

    I did crack up. FH didn't even remember them opening it and loved it! He was so excited.

    Ugh. I'd get them a nice picture frame and send the invitation with the wrong name on it. Jack and Jamie (instead of jack and Jill) or something... Eat that!

    That is crazy! As much as it would bug me that my name wasn't on the STD and i was an "and guest" on the invite, they might not be thinking into as much as you do. Meaning, they might not have cared how it would come off to others, they might have just wanted to get them done. Now as for demanding money, I would have a major issue with that and would probably give them very little. OR be super spiteful and buy them a blender!

    FH said No to sending them an invitation now. He said he loves his cousin but that he will not be leaving work early to attend their Thursday wedding especially when they are being rude and demanding. I'm tempted to find out how much it will cost per person at their location, adding 20 to it and sending that with our "we regretfully decline"

    I would give them a donation in their name to somewhere such as feeding starving children in africa. If I got an invitation demanding money I would rebel against it.

    The spelling happens hence why so many here ask that you have someone else read it before you send it. But the asking for money part I hate the T word but yeah it's tacky lol

    @Katie I shrugged it off originally, but why would you ask FH for my name & then leave it off. I understand wanting to get it done but ugh. and they will not be getting a blender from me LOL

    @Soon to be Mrs. Toby that is a wonderful idea.

    @TooManyMistys spelling mistakes happen, but your own last name? Its only 4 letters. They left off Dr. thats fine, nobody cared about that, but you couldn't spell out 4 letters that will soon be yours? Nope

    Maybe you should be nice and give her a monetary donation to go towards the latest edition of "Hooked on Phonics". :-)

    I would totally knit them the ugliest dish towels ever with a money sign dead center.

    I wonder if they would get the hint?

    I would check decline on the response card and give a dollar of monopoly money inside the envelope. I doubt they will go to your wedding after that!

    Ugh people like this make me want to vomit. I wouldnt give them a damn cent. And I would also address it as Cousin's Name (spelled wrong of course) and future spouse. Then if they dare mention to you a lack of money, tell them you didnt understand what monentary meant seeing as its not a word.

    @Jamie Q. you are absolutely right. I don't know what Monentary means therefore I should not be required to send them anything. They invited FH because they think as a Dr. he has more money to give them and I'm not saying that to be mean. Everytime that side of the family see's him, they always want to talk about his finances or ask him to buy stuff for them or work on their medical issues for free. I said it before and i'll say it again Tack-Heads.

    LadyCrystal- Date twin! As my mother would say, their invite is so "goesh" Not sure how to spell it, though.

    If you and your fiance are Office fans, here is an idea:
