For your Sunday Evening Entertainment...UPDATES!!!

Chipmunk415

Just started addressing the invitations for my wedding. Adding the RSVP cards, I just noticed a quirky goof on my part. Under choice of entree, I put Beef and Chicken. We are also offering Children under 10 a separate kids meal option. Under Beef and Chicken, I added "Children" for the parents of kids (expecting maybe 4) to mark. But looking at it now, I realize it looks like this:

Choice of Entree

__Beef

__Chicken

__Children

Any cannibals at our wedding are going to be disappointed!

Didn't even have to read the rest. Haha the moment I read the bold part I just started laughing.

LOL!!

For the record, I'm leaving the cards as is. On our wedding website, I list the specific beef (NY strip stack) and chicken (chicken cordon bleu) entrees, and note that for kids under 10, there is a seperate kids meal offered. There shouldn't be too much confusion at that point

Oh I am crying with laughter. That is amazing.

That. Is. Awesome! Thanks for sharing that laugh.

The children are going to be braised at least? That's really the only way to prepare them properly, boiling makes them a little chewy.

I really really wish you could see the reaction to your guests' faces when they read that! Hahaha I know some are going to read it "yada yada....wait what?!" I applaud you for keeping it the same!

I did the same thing with our response cards. We had some pretty interesting feedback. One family friend ask my parents if they got to choose which of their children they got to eat and a close friend of mine wrote on the card "wanted children but didn't know if they would be organic and grain-fed."

@CLI242009, actually, my FSMIL looked at the card when I was showing her the invites and rsvps and said "Children?" with a confused expression. I said "yeah, for the kid's meal option." She didn't say anything further, and I didn't pick up on it really until last night.

FI started laughing when I told him, and suggested we write " 's meal option" in next to to "Children". I said let's leave it as is and see how twisted some of our family can get!

Share the responses!

That's hilarious! I'm actually glad I didn't see this til Monday - I needed the laugh today. Thanks!

OUT-standing!!

Your guests will be in for a disappointment, I heard children are extra tender! I can't wait to see how your guests respond, "Can little Johnny be on the menu? He's been a real pain lately, and Sally has no meat on her bones."

Or see how much your family thinks YOU guys are twisted? xD It would be like "Wow jeez Aunt__ I didn't realize you saw me so evil/twisted" lol

See my question is why serve both chicken and children?  Isn't human supposed to taste like chicken?  Or is it kind of like a beef and veal kinda thing?  lol I would have left the cards like that too.  Reading that made my day. I have been watching a 3 year old all day.

Amyzen83

Actually id think it would be more like pork due to the fact I've heard pig skin is closest to human

Evil Chipmunk wants to be able to skype with my sister when she and her family receive their invite. Both of her daughters (my nieces) are in the wedding as flower girls. The older one is precocious, matter of fact, borderline indigo child/special snowflake. The younger is just as smart, but down to earth and lots of fun (and she's also my goddaughter).

Evil side of me wants to see their reactions and say "Oh yes, didn't you know? Uncle R and Aunt A didn't put you on the menu because theirs was a cocktail reception, but it's tradition at plated luncheons that the flower girls are served up for dinner." JUST TO SEE THEIR REACTIONS!

Caveat for those who might think this is horrible to do to children- they are 8.5 and 7, going on 15 and 16. They are also aware that Pop Pop (my dad) is a big joker, and that Auntie Chipmunk likes to play jokes on occasion too. While Older Niece might have a total freak out/meltdown, Younger Niece will likely smirk at me and say "You're soooo funny Auntie!" Sis will flip at me, until I reassure the girls they are definitely not on the menu, but have the option of chicken tenders and fries instead of the normal entrees and veggies. They are already very interested in the chocolate fondue we are having in place of a grooms cake :-D

I think that is one of the most fun goof-ups, way to have a sense of humor about it and let it add fun to your day instead of stress!

You have to tell us if anyone says anything, I think there's a lot of potential there!

LOL!

Invites went out this week. I will keep you gals updated!

Chipmunk415

First comment has come in- from my parents!! Mom and I were talking this morning, and she mentioned they were looking at the choice of entrees and noticed "children" at the bottom. I immediately started laughing. She went on to say that my Dad is putting in an order for 2 children, done medium rare, and they must be aged no more than 7 years to preserve tenderness. 

This is where I get the twistedness from :-)

pinkcow13

Lmfao!!!! That's awesome haha

KeptInStitches

Your parents are awesome!

Amyzen83

Lol! That's hilarious! Totally made my Monday!

Chipmunk415

Another update! Friend since grade school got her invite. She apparently immediately started laughing before she texted me if she got a whole child to herself or if she had to choose leg or torso, as well as what kind of marinade was being used :-) I love having crazy friends and family.

kmmssg

This is priceless. Please keep the updates coming. I am making DD's invitations and am suddenly sad that there are very few kids invited and no kids meal option. I would have soooo stolen this!

Chipmunk415

Third friend (whose wedding we are attending next week) has noticed. She and her FI were apparently highly amused and thought I did it on purpose (they know me too well).  The fact that everyone who is noticing is on "my side" makes this even better.
