I wish I could invite you, but I don't like you.

Last night, my fiancé played a show out of town. I was unable to go, since I had to be at work early this morning.

At the show, he ran into a guy we used to hang out with. Apparently the guy said, "Please tell me I'm invited to the wedding."

Ew! No! You're weird and obnoxious. This guy hasn't made any effort to talk to me in several years, other than a basic hello when he sees me out. He only wants to go because he thinks my fiancé is cool and it will make him look good being invited. If this guy didn't have so many annoying habits, we would totally invite him. Sadly, that's not the case.

My sweetie was much nicer than I am sounding now. He politely said that our venue size doesn't allow us to include everyone, though we wish we could.

    I freely admit to having had that thought, frequently, when building the guest list. I never said it to anyone but DH, but I thought it. Often.

    I'm going through this right now with a lot of people. Folks will come out of the woodwork and demand a wedding invitation. A girl I haven't spoken to in a year, but share friends with, has even said that she'll be angry with me if she and SO don't merit an invitation! 

    Well I guess she'll have to be angry!

    I don't know why some people think they're entitled to an invitation to someone else's wedding...You know who you are and aren't close to; why would you expect an invitation to someone's wedding if you're not that close?

    How do people think it's polite to beg for or demand an invitation to a wedding?

    I don't get this at all. I never assume I'm invited yo a wedding -- even a close friend might decide to have a really tiny affair or elope or something. I've only had one of these so far. SO awkward.

    There was an event in FI's hometown they have every year. FI ran into some friends when I was not around and a few asked why they weren't invited. It irritated the hell outta me as one was a girl from his class who has NEVER spoken to him/us since HS graduation like, umm, almost three years ago?!?!? I couldn't even.She was lucky I was not there cause I would have tactfully told her to fuck off. I know that seems extreme, but I don't hardly even know you! Why on Earth would you want to attend a wedding of people you barely know, or even hang around?! NOOO!

     I told FI I hope that he told her there wasn't room for her. But no. He probably felt on the spot, and he told her that wasn't up to him. The other was his older brothers friend. Not really even his friend (this guy barely speaks to us-at all.) It's just annoying. But it happens and all you can tell them is you don't have any more room.They'll get the hint...hopefully.

    I have a friend who not only just assumed she was invited to our wedding (she is not), but said it would be the perfect time for her to hook up with FI's brother (which was why we didn't include her in our guest list). The fact that she is now dating a lying, cheating, no-good, drug-addicted douchebag does not mitigate the fact that she invited herself and, despite us telling her multiple times that we didn't want to hear what she planned to do with FBIL, she kept persisting in telling us how she was going to seduce FI's brother. When invitations go out in the next couple of weeks and she doesn't get one, I'm sure she will be butthurt.

    Not sure, but you can ask my distant relatives. Ugh.
