Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

Obviously she hasn't had a wedding yet!!! I can't imagine ever asking something like that!!

Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

That is really a tough predicament. I can understand her not wanting to attend the wedding alone. However, she's asking to bring two friends... but there is no way around that since she is traveling with the both of them.

I'm a stickler for sticking to the guest list, but if you really want this friend there, i think it's right to have her bring her two friends. I know it's not ideal for you, but it seems like it might make her more comfortable. However, if this is not an important person in your life, I say skip all three...

Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

Some people really feel that they can invite whoever they want since they don't know anyone instead of trying to speak and have a good time just for their friend. My MOH has said the same thing to me and she is in the bridal party if she can have other people there so she can talk to since she really doesn't know many people and does not speak to many of the people which is very selfish because she is thinking of herself and I had to shut that down as soon as the words left her mouth either she is their to support me or not at all. So in my opinion its ok to invite 1 other person for the fact of having a guest but not 2 weddings are private events and should be kept that way and not just have people their just because.

Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

wow people are unreal!!

Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

sorry but i dont think that is fair she seems to try the nice approach by saying she doesnt want to be a burden but more or less kindly putting it i am not going to your reception if I am goign alone. bottom line if she truly wanted to be there for your celebration it shouldnt matter who comes with her or not- i know on the other hand some people may feel funny being alone at a wedding but she can put that aside and still have a fun time

as difficult as it may be for you right now- try to keep your cool and really think about it before you respond to her but I would tell her my true feelings in a diplomatic way - good luck!

Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

so its either she goes alone or brings 2 people? Well tell her youre not having some big keg party where everyone is free to invite the world. Tell her to put on her big girl panties and get over such stupid little things, this isnt the first day in hs and walking into the cafeteria, she is an adult and should suck it up and not feel awkward. I mean as a friend she should want to be at the wedding no matter what, none of this little girl stupidity, omg i wont know anybody, is she trying to win a popularity contest? she needs to grow up and realize what does matter. If you had previously allowed her with 'and guest' say she is invited with 1 guest and its ridiculous if she cant find another guest and her only option is 2 people from out of town. Maybe if she wasnt so awkward with being around people she would have others to take

Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

she is not the brightest and clearly is going to realize how ridiculous her question is when she plans her own wedding. Tell her if she doesn't want to be there with you then she doens't have to be and weddings are not cheap.
(unless your loaded and she knows this and its not about money but im thinking thats not the case lol)

if she's an important person and you have to meet you minimum, then put them in, if not skip them all!!

UGhh.

I wish we could tell them that your admission is free but your extra friend will have to pay for their cost of admission.. HAHA. no seriously can't do that but would be funny.

It is disgusted how people are, it does sound like she is having a nice getaway for herself & friends & while she is here she wants to hit up your wedding. The problem is, her friends & her may have already made these plans & now she knows she can't leave them alone either or take just one to the wedding. But to be honest it is NOT your worry. You will have enough on your plate.

& unfortunately since every plate adds to your total bill it isn't something to be too laid back about If this person was close to you they should feel comfortable at your wedding. Plus it isn't her party, she doesn't need an entourage to have fun. It is so annoying. If she isn't the closest to you then tell her sorry but you unfortunately can't afford the extra guest (see if she offers anything there since she is looking for freebies for random friends). If she is close to you tell her honestly how you feel. A close friend should understand.

lol, its so true though and all these inconsiderate people really drive me crazy. To sit there and say we'll ill go to the ceremony and skip the reception is uncalled for. I mean if it was an acquaintance id understand but if it was a friend i would never imagine missing a friends wedding. Many of us have been in situations where you dont know many others, it is a little weird at first but you just S*ck it up and it ends up being fine.

im just sick of these whiney inconsiderate idiots. I cant wait until my invites go out

at the big girl panties! will you have other single people there? Maybe you can put her with other people who are single & dont know anyone & then make sure someone introduces them & just tell her- I want you there, and I will make this comfortable for you- although I dont really believe in all that handholding truth-be-told

oh yeah unless u need them for the minimum. But still I wouldn't even then. Because I am sure you actually know some people that you can invite from family & friends instead!

Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

first of all, love the big girl panties comment, good job denise!

is there a table of single people you could put her with so she doesn't boo hoo all night?

and honestly, i don't like the fact that she's giving you an ultimatum it's all or nothing basically.
MrsHtobe Posted:

Re: YET AGAIN..'CAN I INVITE THE WORLD???'

I would absolutely not let her bring 2 guests. AND I would totally question my friendship with her if she isn't willing to come alone. . .seriously, most adults would atleast find a way to chit chat with others at her table. . . .I have no patience for that crap!

I'd be super annoyed.
