October 2012 Weddings

Vent

Why are the people who are supposed to be the ones who make wedding planning easier (family) the ones who nitpick every single little thing? We went our invites out a little early, admittedly, as we have an earlier RSVP date. Most of the reasoning for this is my sister planned her wedding last minute, and it's a few weeks before mine, and so we're losing a lot of time for getting stuff together and organized. Everyone knows this, and has been really cool, and so you'd think this would certainly extend to our families, right? Of course not. FMIL is on FI's case about how we sent our invites out too early, and it's "not how things are done". It's not like we're making things harder for everyone and having people do something really difficult, like come find their invitations in a puzzle and then send their RSVP by carrier pigeon, it's just all a little earlier. I don't think it's that big of a deal. And am so annoyed that FMIL is making a stink about it. Gah!

Deep breaths... is it October 7th yet? I am ready for this whole thing to be over!

    I know how you feel, I have some people asking if certain people are invited to my wedding and how it will hurt others. Everyone is a critic, enjoy your day!

  • Ugh. Sorry to hear about that. Family members have been the biggest pain for me as well. Unfortunately, you can't get rid of them lol! Deep breaths it'll all blow over soon enough.

  • I know how you feel for sure! Don't let her get to you. I know its easier said than done. :(

    However, invitations sent out earlier is better than late, right?! October 7th will be here quicker than everyone thinks! 

    Keep your head up!

  • I sent mine out early as well..... The issue I had was we had people that lived out of the country and would take forever to get to them. Also having the escort cards as a DIY project helped me decide to send them out earlier so I can start woeking on them and the dreaded seating chart.
