So back when we were finalizing our guest list I talked to FI's 23 year old cousin to ask if he was dating anyone. He said that he had just started but that since it was so new he wasn't comfortable having her name on the invitation. Fine, I put "and guest."
We get his RSVP back about 2 weeks ago saying "FI Cousin and Guest." Um, ok?? So last week I sent him a FB private message and asked for the name of his guest and explained that we have to give the names to the printer for the place cards and since we have to do individual cards b/c we're doing a plated meal (guests RSVP'd with their choice) we can't just have "Guest" printed on a place card.
This morning he replies and says "well I'm not dating anyone so I can't just ask some random girl now b/c I might not be talking to her in three months!!!" Um, the wedding is in 5 weeks, not three months.
I replied back and politely explained that the wedding was in 5 weeks, not three months and that the deadline for to turn everything into the printer is October 1. I told him that I can understand that he's not dating anyone and explained that all my cousins on my mom's side are older than me so I would bring a friend who was a guy to their weddings or just go on my own because all my family was there anyway and it saved me from having to get the "so who is this??" questions from my family and asked him to let us know what he decided.
We didn't extend any of FI's cousins who weren't dating anyone at the time invites went out a date b/c they're a large group and all friends anyway but we made an exception for him since he was dating someone. I really wish we hadn't now because I REALLY don't want randoms at the wedding, he's being such a PITA.
