I have read many posts on this website about difficult family members and rude guests (I mean where do people get the nerve to write plus 1 or plus 2 on the reply card when no one else was invited!!!). I thought that this wouldn't happen to me because my FH and I are paying for the wedding ourselves. Boy, was I wrong.
First of all, I have family members inviting other family members to my engagement party, without checking with me! There are several people that I didn't want to invite to the engagement party because I don't know who I can afford to invite to the wedding. If someone is invited to the engagement party, they have to be invited to the wedding.
And I have other family members, who I generally have nothing to do with, telling me that I should rethink the day I chose b/c it is presidents week, others say that February is crazy, others don't like the fact that it is a late morning/afternoon wedding. Geez!!!! And I have only been engaged for 2 months. Can't wait to see whats next!
I just needed to write this out b/c I know that you guys understand.....

My motto is do whatever you want, those people who love and care for you will be there for you, screw the rest of them!

Yup. Thats what I tell myself. I don't really care if some people are there. But its still frustrating....

Re: Family Vent
it still gets me that people feel the need to invite others! When you get an invitation keep it to yourself unless you know the other person is invited!!

Re: Family Vent
I hate to say it but Weddings have a way of bringing out the monster side of families...hang in there...and remain focused on the wedding being a day for you and your fiance, and stay positive =) Good Luck!!!
