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?

    Just get them something random and write "monentary" on it. After all, it is technically what they asked for.

    @Kara according to the place, the basic wedding package starts at 100 per person not including tax and gratuity, 150 minimum body count on a weekday and that is not including alcohol. They don't have money like that. How the hell are you paying for over 150 people?

    Can you send them an invite and handwritten "$$$$" on it? I usually don't suggest things like that but...craziness. Also, I think monopoly money is good idea!

    It actually said, "NO CHILDREN, MONETARY GIFTS ONLY"?

    I'd write back, "Is giving children as a gift a new trend I haven't heard of?", lol.

    I don't judge not putting your name on the STD, I do judge not listing your name on the invitation. That's just plain lazy.

    The "no children" is unnecessary since they only had to name who was invited and leave off the kids.

    The monetary gifts only part --hold the brakes...that would make me decline the invitation all by itself. I'd send back my decline with a penny glued to the reply card. Friggin ridiculous. I thought that the invite I just got that had walmart.com registry written on it was tacky. This takes the cake.

    FWIW, I sent out STDs to just the persons name not even "& guest". So some of fiancés cousins thought their gf/bf weren't invited. Its was a over site on my part. I also sent out a lot of the actual invites to fiancés cousins with just "& guest". I honestly have no clue if they live with someone or even if they have a gf/bf. Fiancé had no clue either though. Honestly, I don't see that as a big deal and wouldn't bother me if we received an invite that way and we've been together 12 years.

    The no children thing doesn't bother me either, but could have been worded a lot better. It sounds so demanding. I don't have kids so that doesn't offend me, just makes the bride look like and ignorant (#&@&#.

    Now on the other hand if it said bring cash, that right there would prevent me from attending and definitely no gift at all.

    WW is not letting me post the pic for some reason. I understand the No Kids thing because FH and I are not having children at our wedding but it is unbelievably rude to spell his name wrong and then put his fiancee as guest. If I'm guest, why did you ask for my info? That's crazy. And then to demand money? You were gonna get money and now you won't because you were rude. I'm tempted to invite them to ours because I'm polite but their behavior is unacceptable
