That darned Fi...

crnflkgirl75 · March 2012

He emailed me today to ask if one of the people we invited to the wedding could bring his girlfriend... *head desk* why did Fi not mention this girlfriend before we sent out invites?! Anyone else have an etiquette faux pas they inadvertently made? (I told him of course, and to apologize to his friend for the mistake)

I'm spending 9k on a redo wedding.

BAM. Faux pas'd.

My dad was verbally inviting some people to our wedding. We had to have a little talk about that.

My FI wants me to hand make an additional 5 invitations for people that he is sure won't be coming, but asked for an invite "so they could send us money". (their words, not FI's) I think this looks greedy.

32 days away from the wedding...yeah, sure, let me get on that. I don't have anything else to do.

H did that to me too. We had to add a few extra people because of it. I made sure they knew we didn't do it on purpose.

My H tiered our reception, by FB no less. That was the only fight we had in the entire wedding planning period.

H forgot that some of his friends were either married or in serious relationships too. Men.

FI's dad kept inviting people everytime he got tipsy on a weekend bbq, LOL

At one point I had to say "There are 10 weekends left until the wedding, every weekend he invites 4 more people we don't know. We are paying, do the math".

Let's just say that cutting the guest list led to some 'loud' conversations....

I bet!

My exhusband handed out invitations to people without the response cards "They won't return them anyway" bar buddies of his that he had no number or address for. He also didn't keep track of how many he handed out or to whom. We paid for 150 people and a little less than 75 showed up. I was ready to kill him.

My MIL has informed distant reltives that as long as they pay for their meals they can come. *Face palm*. When she said this to me for the first time, I could have screamed!

H's checking of friends relationship status was done on Facebook....hahaha...fortunately all his friends were honest on their FB relationship status....and we had given everyone a guest.

StephanieM22 · March 2012

I tried to get a guestimate of how many people we will be inviting from FI he gave me a list of all his family members but there were no SO's. I had to go over each person with him to find out if they had a spouse/SO. When I asked him why he didn't put it on the list to begin with he said because I asked for a list of must invite relatives not who they were with. *Face Palm*

beharrington · March 2012

I found out today that my FI has been giving wedding details to a female coworker who wants to know if she's invited. Ugh. She wasn't on the list he gave me...and I've never met her. Apparently we are now invited to her party this weekend. Have a feeling we will be talking about the bean dip a lot (had to educate FI on that one tonight).

dawnp917 · March 2012

My FI put his friends maiden name on the invite list. I don't know these friends and found out week when she left a comment on our wedding web site with her married name. The STD went out to Jane & John {Jane's Maiden Name}. Uh-oh.
