Sooooooo I haven't been on here in forever because I had a baby, and she's kept me busy. I'm not sure if anyone here will remember me.
But I belong to a Facebook group (unrelated to weddings), and a girl posted an off-topic post asking for wedding planning advice. Specifically, she was asking how many people she should expect to RSVP yes, and could she invite more than the venue could hold. o_O
Already I'm side-eyeing the girl, but whatever, she's new to planning, no big deal. Many people told her to expect 100%, but some were throwing out numbers like 75%... or one person even said 50%!!!!!!!! 50%?? That could get some people into MAJOR trouble!
Then she starts talking about how she's only inviting significant others if she knows them, because DUH... who wants strangers at the wedding? When I tried to explain that you can't judge people's relationships, she attacked me for getting off-topic. Then she gave her whole thing about how it's HER wedding, and she knows her guests. And some people were backing her up on this stuff!
AND IT JUST GOT WORSE. Then she starts talking about doing B-listing. THEN she starts talking about how she doesn't even want a reception. She's going to try to convince her fiancé to just let them leave on their honeymoon after the ceremony.
FINALLY... someone suggests to her to solve her problem of having too many guests to invite by just inviting some to the dinner and some to come for punch and dancing afterwards. And this chick thinks it's a great idea. SO. MUCH. FAIL. IN. ONE. THREAD.
My head nearly exploded. And I knew you guys would understand!
Also, if you read all of this, thanks, and here's a baby picture as your reward!
