Oy Vey... choose your guests WISELY

people can be so ridiculous!!!!

I have this guy friend that I see maybe once a year if that. I've known him since elementary but we didn't become hang out buddies til I graduated from high school. He's cool and all but w/e. And when FI and I started going out 4 years ago, I've seen him maybe 4 times. Anyways when I first got engaged he asked if he was invited. I just laughed and said "probably not, weddings are expensive." So one of my BM decides to invite him as her plus one since he's a cool guy and I wasn't able to invite him. I was cool with it. I send him a text letting him know I know he's going and that I'm happy he's sharing the day with us. He proceeds to say that he's happy about it too but that he's still hurt I didn't invite him personally. I told him straight out "yea so are a lot of other people, I am sorry I am nt rich" [and can invite all my random friends]. And that's it..... but oooooo it annoys me so much. I hope he's bringing a gift since it means so much to him!!!!

Then I have another guy friend that I LOVE, but I hadn't thought about inviting him because he goes to school OOT and I know he doesn't work so he wouldn't be able to buy a ticket for just a weekend. But he sort of invited himself at the very beggining as well. I was like ok, I LOVE him and I would LOVE to have him there. I put a plus 1 and boy do I regret it!! He doesn't have a g/f but I was hoping he'd invite one of our mutual friends I rarely get to see except when he's here. NO its his roommates turn to visit Miami and guess who's tagging along for the ride! Yes I'll be shring my day with his roommate!!! Paying for his plate, yaaaay, I love paying for randomn people I don't know and will never see again. To top it off, I am still not sure whether my friend is coming or not, it depends if they can get tockets. So his RSVP won't be til close to the date!!! Yaaaay let me hold a spot for u and ur roomate instead of inviting other people from work I would prefer!!!! AY!!! What was I thinking!!!!

THEN I know I have a couple of open spots and I tell one of the girls at work thats been bugging to come to the wedding since before I was engaged!!! I let her know my plan to invite some people as more people RSVP NO. But I told her I won't be able to do a plus 1 for them. ANd she was like "oh come one man.... how am I going to do that?!?!?" Are youkidding me!!!!! She's been engaged for YEARS and hasn't done a wedding because they are so expensive. She said ok after I told her the price, but just the fact that they don't think irritates me!!!! And I don't want to be shouting the price per head to prove a point!!! Why don't people have some common sense, John Milton where are you??????

    Ugh.  I am dreading getting to that point, but it sounds like it happens to everyone, so at least you know you aren't alone.

    Sometimes people just suck.

    I had to finally yell at FI because people kept asking him if they were invited and since he didn't know what to say, he told everyone YES! And they are NOT invited! Talk about ackward... I told him that its his job to explain to them, not mine! I'm sending invites and keeping my mouth shut! People have a lot of nerve...

    People really don't understand what it's like until they're the ones planning a wedding. Moreover, they also have no class. I would never think to ask someone, 'Hh hey, am I invited to your wedding?' I would feel awful.
