My RSVP deadline was October 1, 2011. I called my mother so she could call her sister to find out if she is coming. My aunt says oh I didn't know I had to return the card. I thought I could just show up. My mom tells her there was return postage included you should have returned it. My aunt says well she only allowed for me and 1 guest and I was going to bring my whole family. Her whole family includes about 15-20 additional people. My mom tells her I only allowed for 2 people so you cannot bring your extra family members. This day is about my daughter not your family.
My aunt gets upset an says well if we all can't come to the reception can we come to the wedding. I told her no because the wedding and reception are being held in the same room. Even though during the wedding they will have the room set up theater style seating, but I know her extra family member won't leave. My aunt goes back to my mother and says well I'll pay for everyone else since she won't. How the heck are you inviting extra people to MY wedding. If I wanted them to be there they would have received an invitation. I asked my FI he said NO. I am so frustrated and just want all of this to be over.
