We have had a LOT of "no" rsvp's that we thought would be yes's. Since both of our mom's bitched in the beginning about not being able to invite enough people, we told them both they could invite about 20 more people if they wanted.
So my mom gets back to us, and says there is no one else they want to invite. Wtf?? In September before the STD's went out, she was flat out POed that she was limited to 30 people. And 20 more invites is like a whole set of friends, you know? But, whatever- Not going to force her to invite people.
My FMIL did want to invite more people, and threw in a comment like "Oh, there's some people we're inviting to P's wedding that we didn't get to invite to yours- So let's add them." P is FI's brother/ BM that is getting married in August. So while I don't think she was trying to be mean, I kind of felt like she was implying we were being stingy with the invites, too (we were trying to invite about 150, and ended up inviting 188, for the record- So not a tiny invite list by any means, I don't think).
But then the thing that really ticked me off is this: She owns her own business, and wanted to invite a few people at the office. She had no specific number, but said it would be about 5 and to just send an invite to the office and she would show it to who needed to see it. I was VERY paranoid about this plan, but went with it- Long story short, 10 of her employees want to come instead of 5. With all of the no rsvp's, not a huge deal, but still kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.
So now, on her new list, she has included one of the ladies that works in the office, just because she's kind of snobby/ etiquettey and she thinks she would like to have her own invite.
Wtf? We already sent a joint invite to the office. Honestly, our extra invite supplies are running low (and FMIL knows this)- If this lady is so effing special she needs her own invite, why wasn't she included on the original list??
I don't know- I just feel like FMIL is being kind of thoughtless about the whole thing.
And over my dead body is that woman getting her very own invite.
Anyway.
Sidenote- Why am I so full of vents recently?? I can't figure out if my fuse is getting shorter the closer we get to the day, or if the people around me are just as annoying as I think they are.
