as responses are coming in...

I don't understand why people invited alone respond that they are bringing a guest. I know that you don't have a boyfriend, so who are you bringing! Of course it's on his side.

Vent over. Thanks for reading.

Yikes! It's a touchy subject and everyone just 'assumes' - I prevented this by happening by WRITING the number of guests allowed!

I was wrong to think that a name written on the inner envelope was enough - warning to 06 brides: be specific about who is actually invited. Looks like FH will have some calls to make to take care of his friends.

Good idea

Re: as responses are coming in...

I guess they just assumed, and you know what happens when people assume!! Sorry that's been happening to you and adding to the stress, but I just can't beleive an 06er is getting responses back already!!

You may be the 1st to vent about this but I'm sure you won't be the last, thanks for the warning!!

Re: as responses are coming in...

I still can not imagine that someone just adds names on a response card. That is unfathomable.

Re: as responses are coming in...

I stole my idea from Christine!!!

On my response cards it says:

( ) Seats reserved in your honor
( ) Will Attend
( ) Will Not Attend

Now if that doesn't work!!!

Sorry you have to go through this. Some people, Sheesh!!!

Re: as responses are coming in...

I invited everyone with a guest - so this is one problem I don't have

it's hard enough to get Jake's friends to response!!!!

my responses date was last week- I am waiting for 19 more!!!
