Ugh RSVP issues

So our RSVP deadline is tomorrow. Well we mentioned to FMIL that we had not heard from FI's godmother (her friend). She said she has not spoken with her. I mentioned if we don't hear anything by Thursday that either FI or her will need to make a phone call. Then she asks me what address I sent the invite to.... I told her the address you gave me which is the same one that the STD was sent to. Then she tells me well she probably won't come because she won't want to make the 1 hour drive by herself, but she would probably come if she could bring someone but you only invited her. I said oh I was not aware she was married and she said she is not. I said does she have a BF? Nope. But apparently she would want to bring her sister with. I am annoyed because  she never mentioned this when she put her on the guest list. We sent the invite out for one and FMIL was aware of this. I was irritated, its not like she called FMIL and stated her concern or anything. She just has not responded and not spoken with FMIL in months. Why are people so difficult. FMIL said well so and so said they couldn't make it so her sister could take there place.... That is not the point URGH. Sorry for the rant!

Re: Ugh RSVP issues

  • I feel your frustration. It seems as though people are asking to bring extra guests to our wedding left and right, and it doesn't help that we are pressed for space. A friend of mine who just for married actually had a guest who asked if his plus could bring a plus one so she could have more friends there. She also had a member of the wedding party ask if she could bring a couple as her plus one! So people will ask all sorts of crazy things. If it in your space and budget, you could extend her a guest, but you are my no means obligated to.
  • I'm sorry. That sucks.
    I did have an incident where FMIL forgot to invite a friend's long time bf. So I told my FMIL just blame it on me because I've never met the guy anyway, so it'll be understandable. 
    My FI has a friend from high school who casually mentione that he was planning on asking a girl he's only gone on one date with him as his plus one to our wedding. We are not allowing plus ones for our wedding due to the extremely tight budget and people seem to just assume that if it's a wedding, that a plus one is assumed. You don't even need to ask. 
    I wonder how many extra plus ones are going to show up at our wedding?

  • So far we have about 4 extra plus ones, but luckily we have had quite a few people decline so we have let it slide.

    THIS!  We have about 5 plus ones and are also letting it slide due to the fact of about that many declining
