I ran out of invitations!

I'm going to kill my parents. They keep adding to the guest list. If they add someone, they should take someone off!

My wedding is 7 weeks away and I haven't even sent out all the invitations out yet!

Can you verbally invite people?

I had all this invitation drama with my vendor. I don't want to ask her for more. I also don't want to go through the trouble of printing them on simple invitation paper.

Re: I ran out of invitations!

I'd get some inexpensive invites at Michael's or something and print them yourself... It's a pain, but it's nicer than a verbal invite, I think, IF you have time to do that.

We went back and forth whether to order 100 or 125 invites. We went with 125 just to be safe, and now I'm glad I did.

Don't worry - it will all work out!

Tell your parents to stop. Seriously. They can't keep adding people up to the last minute, it's too late now, you just don't have enough invitations for them. If these people are so important that they should be invited to your wedding then they should've been on the guest list from the beginning.

It's coming from both sides!! FH's mom has all these people she 'forgot'.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I think they are going to have to get just a direction card that the hall gave us. We didn't put them in with the invitations bc we designed our own nice ones.

The problem is I say this but I know I won't allow people to get invited in such a poor manner. So I am just stressed. Grrrrr.

Tell FH's mom the same thing. If she forgot them then they can't be important enough to have to invite.
