I just need to vent.
I had an accquaintance call me the other day. I havent talked to her in years, which is why I dont say "friend". So, we are talking about random stuff & I made no mention of the wedding, because I am not inviting her. All of a sudden she says "so where is my invite to your wedding?" WHAT?! Why would she think that she is getting an invite, when I havent talked to her in years? & why would you even ask someone that? I replied with "unfortuantley we are already at our limit with guests. How is school going?" First of all, my wedding isnt until the end of August, why would I be sending out invites now? Secondly, I really dont understand why so many people assume they are invited & straight up ask me if they are. Where is your common sense? Dont people realize that this is really rude to do?
& another one...
I just recieved a text message from one of my childhood friends. We have been friends for YEARS, but in the last few years we havent seen each other or talked much because she moved to OH. She says to me "so, when is your wedding again? Im planning a trip to Erie for a few days and want to plan it around your wedding so I can be there" OMG!!! Im not even sure if I am going to invite her. To be honest, she was on my inital guest list (my rough draft one from when we first got engaged) but I ended up having to remove her because we are inviting so many family members. We are already about 20 people over (not an issue with the venue because it can hold up to 300) and really cannot afford to keep adding people. I did not mention anything to her about the wedding in the few times we have talked because I wasnt sure I would be able to invite her. How do I respond to this?
Just a note: Invites have not gone out yet, and I only sent Save the Dates to ppl I absolutely knew we would be inviting.
What is it about weddings that make people so crazy and forget their manners? I would never say to someone "well, where is my invite?"
