So, my mom is sooo excited about my wedding. My fiance and I are paying for almost everything. Aside from the check my mom wrote for my dress, we have covered everything. My whole family is from another state and I am getting married in the state my fiance lives in and I moved to.
Here is the issue: My mother is inviting everyone and their friends to MY wedding and not paying for any of the recption. Now we are talking $125 per person plus extras for the cake, favors and headaches galore. She has already told me that some of her male friends have open invites to the wedding and she still plans on bringing a date. Excuse YOU!!! We have a budget and a guest list of 150 people. No more! I don't even know who else she has invited, she asked me to give her some blank invitations!!! I don't think so!! And, it's an out of state wedding for all these people she has invited. Where do they expect to stay? Cuz they are NOT staying at my house, or in a hotel with my mother and my eleven year old brother.
Now, how do I tell my Mom these freaks are not invited, to stop inviting people to my wedding and that I really don't want her to bring a date! Seariously, she has lost her mind.
Sorry for the novel, I needed to vent.
