We are still getting RSVP's in (deadline is Friday) and I had a minor meltdown when one person asked, "Do I really need to send in the RSVP card?" Um, YES! If it was just a *suggestion* I wouldn't have included a self-addressed and stamped envelope. THEN I get an RSVP back that has THREE couples on it. Excuse me, I believe the envelope was addressed to Mr. & Mrs. Blah Blah, not who-the-heck-ever you want to add on! Granted, they are "family friends" of the futre in-laws, but still. Oh yeah, and(!) my aunt, who doesn't speak to me calls my GRANDMOTHER and says, "I added daughter's boyfriend to the RSVP, I hope Ashleigh doesn't mind." As a matter of fact, I do mind. Don't call my grandma, call me! I'm the one paying for this shindig!!
Neither my parents nor his parents get how stressed we are about everything. Especially adding on, at this point, SEVEN extra guests. Not cool, people. Not cool at all. Both of our parents keep saying, "It will alllll work out. I'll pay for whatever extra we need."
That's not the point. People need to learn etiquette.
[Rant over.]
