Wedding Etiquette Forum

::Headdesk::

I used my lunch hour to deliver FI to the airport for work. So I get home to pick him up and he's in his office playing on the internet. I see his IRC chat window up, and this line jumps out at me: "You're all invited to the wedding, but none of you are getting invitations." WTF, FI? Did you just sort of verbally invite god knows how many people to our wedding? Without ever having mentioned word one about it to me? Really? I realize the chance of any of his IRC friends taking him up on the offer is slim to none, but come the fuuck on. Help me out FI. And FFS, listen to me when I talk about etiquette. Please. I'm getting to that two month freak out stage, I think.

  • ....................wow. That's just...wow.  ::patsLaurenontheback::  Is there any chance he was just joking?

  • hehehe... Remember when my H added two more groomsmen a month before the wedding?  Mmhm.
  • niiiiiice

    i'd probably freak out - right now my FMIL said "well a bunch of people we invited won't come so don't worry about the guest count you can invite more...." that doesn't help but thanks!

  • jcb, he's totally aware of all of those things. Like, really aware. I don't know wtf crawled into his brain today. And Fish, I have no idea what you're talking about, but if you give me ice, it's going in a glass for a cocktail.

  • Wow. I'm SMRT. I'm a quick one, I tell you. And yeah, I hope to hell no one took it seriously and that he was kidding. And if anyone is taking it seriously, that's FI's rodeo.

    Wow. That's simultaneously horrible and hilarious. I sincerely hope you don't end up with oodles of random guests...eek.

  • Brightside: at least it wasn't your FMIL doing it.  
  • Squee indeed! My shower is next weekend, and I just got email confirmations forwarded from one of my BMs for the b-party. Most everything is done and I'm getting pretty excited.

    I don't know, LC.  I thought the same thing about FI's WoW friends, but four of them have RSVP'd so far and we've only set STD's...

    Oh Jesus. There's only one of his friends (and friend's GF) from IRC that is actually on the guestlist. I've met him and his GF before and they're super awesome and will probably come. And really, I'd be delighted to meet more of his internet friends. I just would've liked to know he wanted to invite them sooner than two months out, KWIM?

  • Yay for two months!  I remember the freaking out, though.  Hopefully he was joking or they don't take him seriously :)

  • LC - My fiance works at a bank, and he wants to just post an invitation on the community bulletin board in their break room.

    I've explained to him time and time again that he can certainly invite however many co-workers he wants... I just need to send them EACH invitations so they can EACH RSVP whether they're coming or not, and mark what they're going to eat.  He thinks he's saving us money this way but he'd actually be creating a fustercluck of unnecessary work for me - not to mention a crapshoot of who might actually show up.

    So in other words, I feel your pain :)

    Don't worry about lala showing up. She'll tell you she's coming, then fake sick day-of.
  • And she'll probably bring her mom.
