Stop inviting people!!! VENT

20pearls16

I love my man to death but he keeps adding people to the list. Invites went out June 1st. A steady stream of RSVP's are coming back all accepting no declines. Everytime we go somewhere  and someone says congratualtions FI will say to them, "Oh I need your address so I can invite you to the wedding!" WTH!!!! We have 7 people on the waiting list and now these other folks are bumping them. I had to write out two more invites yesterday. One of these were for his cousin in NO. Out of towners should have been gotten an invite. This couple is known for bringing the whole clan with them, so I suggested filling in the number 2 on the RSVP card. FI says leave it blank! MY budget is 80 people, anyone over that will come out of his pocket! WHOOOOSAAAHHHHHH.

GIRL ME TO !!!!
The only saving grace is that this fool will not come up with the addresses.  Buy HE is the one that wanted a small wedding and HE is the one running around adding to the damn list! If thas what fool fool was gonna do I would have waited until next year and had a $25k SHABANG!!! not a mid week afternoon brunch!!

These men are out of control.  I told his ass, everytime u say "would you like to come it = would you like $100 of my money"

THIS EXACTLY!!

Exactly!
My Mom keeps adding to the list.  FI and I decided 200 guests (100 from my side and 100 from his side).  I am OVER 23 people!  FI still have room for 14 guests.  I told my Mom yesterday that if she continues to add on, she will be paying for them.  She said 'OK'.  It's a good thing our Venue holds 240!!

Happy Planning!!

My FI mother did that while addressing my STD's. I gave her a list of people we wanted to get the STD's as our wedding is small and we really don't want ALLLLL the family there. Well, she sent out an email (OMG!) to the family telling them about the family and then addressed the STD's to people  that 1. I don't even know and 2. I could care less about coming to the wedding.
But FI is pretty good and on the same page as me. The list is made. Done deal.
