My husband works with 3 guys (all have wives), Neither I nor my daughter know them, they "nagged" my husband to be invited to my 1st daughter's wedding this past Memorial day, my husband told them "no I can't, this is a small family wedding with close friends only, I'll invite you to my next daughter's wedding in Oct if I can" . Now that the invitations have gone out, these guys are asking if and why they weren't invited? My husband has told us that we are going to invite them but they probably won't come.
They have the nerve to ask why we have invited other friends from work but not them his crew - I guess this is a daily "nagging".
The clincher is my husband only works with the same guys for 12 months (it is a rotating crew), he has never worked with this guys before January and will not be working with them come this Jan 2013.
I told my husband to give them a $20 bill with a post-it inviting them (If they aren't coming they will be wasting a $18 invite including the postage and we only have a few left for memories).
I feel that this young men (who all have gotten married within the last 5 yrs, and we weren't invited to their weddings - because we don't know them!) are extremely rude
and this is completely uncalled for.
I am also angry at my husband for allowing this to have continue for all these months - I might add that he is their supervisor.
This is not a party to get drunk at, it is a wedding for goodness sake! And each person is going to cost $100 - so this is an additional $600 expense that we didn't budget for or expect.
What should we do? Just smile and accept it??
Please advise!
