Some people are just rudeee

ninefivethree · October 2010

I've been engaged less than 2 weeks. I HATE when people say, "Congrats on your engagement, WHEN AM I GETTING MY INVITE?!?!?!"

How about it'll show up in your mailbox in a few months if I decide to invite you.

UGH

That's all

I know!

These girls that I went to H.S. with, that I haven't talkd to in 6 years.....found me on facebook and asked where their invitation was.

I bet that they totally thought I was going to ask them to be my maids of honor too!

It's awkward when people I work with ask, "am I invited to your wedding?" And it's always the ones that aren't on the list. If you have to ask, you probably aren't. These are people who I barely talk to at work! What makes you think I want you at my wedding?! I agree, people have no tact nowadays! The bad thing is, I have to continue working at this job after the wedding....ugh

I usually just tell them "Sorry but due to budget constraints we are only able to invite our closet friends and family" (and hopefully they get the picture...that they are not one of the "closet")

Ditto what Chelsea said. From the very beginning, just say that the wedding will be "small" and that's all they need to know... even if your wedding is huge.

I am shocked by the audacity of some people these days! I would NEVER ask someone... anyone... if I'm invited to their wedding.

Thankfully, I never got asked the question but I know a few people were a little hurt but we just couldn't afford anymore. Now people not showing up ticked me off because I could have invited those people.

Amen to that. I've been tempted to tell some people that ask about my wedding invites constantly, they will be seat fillers as needed just so I can get to my F&B minimum

That's pretty much what we are doing. I keep adding random people in so they can meet our F&B min!

I agree! I have this and still have this happen. I just tell them I want to keep it small and we have a lot of family. Come on if I don't see you outside of work then why would I invite you to my wedding.
I have one girl I know that keeps in touch with me just so she can be invited. She heard me tell another co-worker I wasn't inviting any co-workers I didn't hang out with outside of work. So she invited herself to one of our outting and said at that outting "Now that I've seen you outside of work I'm coming to wedding right?" She keeps saying this!

i think i'm just socially dumb or oblivious (the second is actually quite true). i did lots of FBing about my wedding and just talk talk talked about it without a care in the world about who thought they should be invited or not. i had 2 friends PM me on FB to say "i would love to be able to sit on your side". both of them were people that i'd known growing up and hadn't been in close contact with, but considered to be important in my history. given that i lost a lot of "friends" when they found out i was engaged to a woman, i was super-touched that they were stepping forward to say "i love you still and want to celebrate", so they got added immediately. i didn't get any of those passive-aggressive kinds of messages though. i think people know me well enough to know one way or the other without having to hint around.

I had one crazy girl INSIST that I make her a bridesmaid! There is a ridiculously crazy story behind that too....
