Stressed! Kinda long, sorry

As much as I want to get married, and am so super excited to do so... I really just want all of this to be over!!

FI and I got into a big argument this weekend, because he doesn't seem to understand WHY we need all our RSVP's back... ummmm, possibly because I need a final head count to the caterer, decorations people and venue? Maybe because I still have things to make for everyone and I need to know how many people so I make enough? Maybe because if someone shows up that we didn't know about, I won't have a chair for them?

UGH. He has some friends who can't let us know until next weekend, and then when they told him that, they also said "Oh, BTW, can our three kids come too if we can make it?" So not only am I waiting on the original 2 people, now I have to accommodate all 5 of you?

GRRRR. His cousin that lives in Japan was planning on surprising us and just showing up. As much as I adore surprises - my wedding should not be one of them!! You gotta let me know if you're coming so I can take care of you!

PLUS, I still have all my programs to make. I need at least 126 of them, and they are 4 layers each with a ribbon tied to the top. I had no idea how much work this was going to be. I have a giant stack of paper to be cut, hole punched and tied. And it is a horribly daunting task. I really need some motivation so that I don't just say screw it all and not do them.

Sorry this is so long, but I had to vent!!

  • My FI doesn't get it either.  He thinks as long as we know by the day it's all ok.  One of his friends actually wrote "Maybe" on the RSVP card and returned it.

    <div>Wait, what? Who does that??</div><div>
    </div><div>I'm sorry you're so stressed out! I don't get why some people don't understand that you're trying to provide food, drinks, seats, and favors to potentially hundreds of people. This is not an easy event to plan. I would go based on the actual RSVPs you get back and maybe add 5 more so you can be prepared for "extra" guests. I agree that it's super rude, but we can't force anybody to follow proper ettiquette.</div>
  • My FI doesn't get it either. He was telling him Mom is was no big rush to send back RSVP (we are stilling from his family) to which I let him know they have to be back this week or he gets to start calling his family and friend. And when my Mom asked him how many guys from work he says, oh about 20!! WHAT!?! I think not we don't have the room for all of them. I know they won't all show up but still.

    I am so over all this and ready to get on the cruise for the hm!

  • I feel your pain! Some of FI's friends are waiting to get dates to bring!  We were nice enough to invite them all with guests and now I am regretting it :(  If you can't get a date now, then you won't have one in 30 days...send back the damn RSVP card!
