FH is ticking me off

First off he's insisting we send out the invitations to his guests coming from Ireland before December. For an April wedding. Which, i'm only agreeing too because then we can say they have to reply by February and then I can invite more or less of my side based on who's coming on his side.

So he wrote down all (or said it was all) of the names in a notebook and I typed it into an Excel spread sheet. So now i just printed it out and he's going over it making sure I didn't misspell anything and now he's telling me I forgot like 10 couples! And he has slips of paper that were in the notebook and now he's afraid he's missing people...grrrr!!!

I typed in every address that was in the book. I don't recall seeing any scraps of paper. I told him 3 times before I typed it all in to make sure ALL names were in that book. We can only have 200 people at the hall........he's already up to 101 on that list and he STILL has friends here in NY to invite too! Like what I'm only allowed 70 guests? And the irish guests BETTER RSVP by the date we put on the cards or else I'm making their minds up for them!!!!

I don't know what to say just good luck. Sometimes men really just don't get it!

DH did something similar - he forgot all about 5 cousins that he meant to put on our guest list that was 'final' for months

It will all work out!!

Good Luck with that!! I sent them w/ Irish stamps so then can send them back to me w/out needing a stamp. I still had to call both of our family members & his friends!!!

I lnow what you are going through!! I would send them out early. Just in case they want to come so they can save up & book their tickets.

My DH did the same thing. We made up the guest list, and then when it was time to send the names to the calligrapher, he came up with all these extra names he forgot. We ended up having about 15 couples too many!! It was a nightmare. We ended up having to trim the guest list big time.

My invites were out for 2 weeks already and he was still giving me names of people he had forgotten...and every address was on a little piece of pink paper and it looked like chicken scratch!!

LOL
He had three 'bar friends' down on it. I said 'who's this' and when he told me I said 'um no sorry no bar friends'. He just laughed but agreed. I mean, come on. You only see them when you go for a few pints?
That's not a friend that's an acquaintence.

I'm not even inviting everyone from work and he wants to invite them? Idontthinkso!

LOL
Thanks girls for sharing, at least I know I'm not the only one!
