I was talking to my boss about my wedding plans. She said she used to be a wedding planner in Vegas, so she started giving me advice and recommendations. Here are a few.
- "Are you putting "No children" on the invites?" Noo!!!!!
- "You are having cash bar, right?" Noo!!!!! Groom's parents are picking up the open bar tab.
- She suggested that I put that we want money for the honeymoon in with the invites or ON the invite! H to the No!
I had to laugh after she left. The only thing that she said that was good advice was about who to invite from my former workplace. I worked there over 6 years so I was having trouble deciding who to invite. There are over 30 people there who considered me like a daughter or granddaughter, and we can't invite them all. She suggested that I only invite my two former managers and their spouses. I think that is what I will do.
The hardest part is that I am still in the same industry and I still interact with these 30+ people, just on another level. They all ask about the wedding plans and when and where will it be? I need to get brave and tell them somehow that I can't invite them. It's hard!
