Ok so We could not afford to invite people with a guest. We also did not invite children. I feel bad about it but we just can't afford it. Well out of our 175 person guest list not one, not two, but now 7 people have RSVP's with extra people! All of them are on my FI's side of the list. The first one we let slide since he is coming from Florida and we didnt want him to travel alone. But now its just piling on. We have a ton of space but no money. FI's sisters were saying they would not come without a guest! Finally we said, "If you care that much pay us $80 (cost of a plate) and you can come". And all but one of them are actually doing it! I feel so bad but come on people. Then today I got another one. This is a couple, who clearly added their child. Now I have to call FMIL so she can call them. Only this is one of the family members who no one can get a hold of (it took months to get addresses). There are no children invited and Im not making an esception. Why is it impossible for these people to read and envelope? And how is a random date more important that your own brother?
