Wedding blues

I am not even excited anymore. I should have eloped. My fiance doesn't want to invite a tone from his family. Now his dad might not even come. So noone from his family will be there. How are you supposed to join families when none of your partners family is attending?

    You are way early for people to RSVP. People can not always tell if the can make a event that far out. I know you are excited. However a lot of times people may not know till
    a month out if the can make it

    None of my family came to my wedding. I was sad a day or two during the planning knowing they weren't coming, but honestly, once the wedding day arrived, I was overcome with happiness from the love and support from the people who did come to the wedding. We had 40 guests which comprised of his immediate family and our closest friends. It was perfect and we were able to splurge on our guests because it was such a small wedding.

    I know but a month out doesn't allow me to send list B. People are traveling far. Noone is in town

    Ok I get it. I can calm down on the RSVP stuff but I am still overwhelmed about making and planning everything alone. I am also bummed none of my partner family is going to be there. My moms going to be bugging me the whole day about that. I know she will

    I'm sorry you are going through all of this. I'm only saying this because you have posted several times saying you are miserable, not excited etc. If you haven't put down a lot of money it's time that you elope. Your family isn't coming, he doesn't want to invite his. Doesn't make sense to spend the money. It seems like you two have a lot going on with the families. Do you know why he doesn't want to invite his? Why isn't his dad coming?

    His dad is 75 and sick. It's far to come. I have 44 people RSVP out of 50 seats. I sent 69 invites because I knew people would decline or no show since it's far. Its 3 months until the wedding. Maybe I am stressing myself out. I actually want the wedding to show my kids and grandkids. I also want the traditional walk down the aisle thing. I am just really stressed for some reason

    44 out of 50 is great!!!!! and you still have a long way to go. You really can't beat those numbers so you shouldn't be sad

    I agree with Michelle, that’s a great response. Latonya don’t let the family stuff bring you down. Just keep your vision in mind. The reasons why you want the wedding. Getting to put on a gorgeous gown,and feel like a beautiful princess for the day. My mom hasn’t even acknowledged my wedding, or anything wedding related. I’m pretty sure she won’t be there. I’m not letting it get me down for a second. Think of those that will be there for you. Best of luck! Keep your head up!!

    I'm going through the same thing. My wedding is 10/19/19. I'm still waiting for people to rsvp so I can get the catering the numbers. I'm doing everything myself cause wedding planners are over priced. Not to mention first I was going this from a far cause me and FH lived in two different states. Most of my family aren't coming because it's out of state and too far. His family thinks they don't have to rsvp they can just show up. FH keeps saying is a southern thing, I say its rude and disrespectful.
