March 2012 Weddings

DREAD

So we got an RSVP today from someone that I knew we would have trouble with before I even sent out the invite. It was a couple and they added their 2 kids to the invite. I think its not that they did it knowing their kids weren't invited I think they are just that stupid or don't pay attention to the details. It is an old high school teacher that was a sponsor for a program FI and I were in and some months of the year we spent more time with this teacher than our own family. They are simple folk. But have to h*llacious little boys (last time I was around them) and I'm just NOT having them at my wedding.

However my mom (who is usually the biotch, I have no trouble telling you what I think type) is too chicken to call them and explain that our guest list is too tight and we can't accomodate their kids. So that leaves me or FI. And FI was much closer to him but I have a feeling he won't have the guts to do it either. So Lame. Looks like I'm stuck. I told my mom we cannot give in and let everyone run right over us. So i'm considering just doing it and getting it over with before I lose my guts!

EDIT: These kids would cost me an extra $81!! Holy Sh*t!

  • I think you should approach it with an "it was probably an innocent mistake" attitude, if you call them and have a positive tone about it, I doubt it will be a big deal.
    Just pull the bandaid off and make the call :)
  • I agree, as long as you sound positive and happy that they are coming, it should go over pretty smoothly.
    Make the call - you'll feel so much better after.

  • I DID IT!!!! I DID IT!!!

    So I may have cheated a little and I called while he was at school. His student picked it up and said they were disecting pigs. So I was like oh no don't interrupt him, I'll just call back and leave him a voicemail and he can listen to it and call me back later if he needs to! :P

    So I called and left him a voicemail aplogizing for interuppting his class (its the ag shop and its so free range it doesn't really matter) but that I got his RSVP today and that we are really excited he is coming but unfortunately becuase our guest list is really tight we will not be able to accomodate his kids coming to the wedding. If he has any questions or if this changes anything for him to please feel free to call Chris or I back, but otherwise I'll put him down for 2 and we're lookin forward to seeing him and his wife at the wedding!  (in a super cheery, smoozing voice)
  • See, that wasn't so bad! All those butterflies in your tummy for nothing :)

    Our invites are going out Friday (YAYAYAYYYYY!) and I can only imagine we'll have one or two of those as well.
