08'er wants your opinion ladies...UPDATED QUESTION
ok so at my wedding I invited this family of 5 +1 fiance (a dad, mom, 3 daughters and her finace). They RSVP'ed NO becasue they were going to be on vacation... fine. Great. Considering we knew this family for 25 years and we are familly friends dont you think they should have sent a gift, a card, something?!? ESPECIALLY becasue they know their daughters wedding is coming up right after and they expect us to be generous?! Any thoughts?.....
ALSO...
Now, that daughter is getting married and she invited my husband and I, and an invite for my parents too. SInce I got married my family is just now my two parents AND two brothers. My parents invite was adressed to Mr.& Mrs. ____ and Peter (my 1st brother). My parents were so confused as to why my other brother's name wasnt on the invite so they havent sent out the RSVP yet.
So this girl sends me a message on facebook saying do you know where your parents RSVP is?
I sent her a messege back saying they didnt see michal's name so they were confused.
she's like oh no, I know you have another brother but we cant invite everyone becasue we are inviting 300 people and thats our limit, we had to cut out certain people and we did this to other families too because we want as many families as possible!!!!?????????????? HOW DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE??? I never heard of inviting HALF a family, ESPECAILLY since i invited her WHOLE family (6 people) AND her fiancee who I dont even know but I invited him becasue i thought it was appropriate.
Am I wrong ladies? I wanted to know your opinions becasue maybe its just my culture who is very against this? DId you guys ever hear of this.. inviting half the family???
I am just so offended...between them not giving us anything at our wedding and now this... I am on FIRE!!!!![]()

dalia do you know if your parents and peter are coming to the wedding? i dont think i got a response from them
1:00pmDalia
i dont know if you know but i have another brother lol
michael.. he is really quiet thats why maybe you dont know him.. he's 19
1:02pmMary
lol no i do know michael... i wish i could have everyone at the reception i really do...but its been so hard
the hall only holds up to 300 people and we had more than that on the guest list so we had to eliminate...you know how it is
we had to make our parents eliminate and we had to elminate...but we also wanted to include everyone as many as we can

hmm, i understand where your coming from in terms of having a small room and too many people, I was in the same position as you.. but i didnt invite half of any families, I either invited the entire family or not... in any case they didnt send the RSVP becasue they were confused about that point... now that its cleared up I dont think they will be able to make it becasue its not right for everyone to go and leave michael home alone
1:17pmMary
im sorry that they feel that way...i would have loved to have them there. we invited as many people as we could, and we actually had to do that with a lot of families so we could have as many families as possible. if they do decide to come that would be great, but if not i understand.
