Just a tidbit from Annie's Mailbox about guests
Dear Annie: Thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding people that a wedding or party guest list is up to the organizer, not the guests. My husband and I had several relatives who did not come to our wedding because we did not invite their children, some of whom were in their 30s and married.
One of his grandmother's friends refused to attend because we did not invite her six children, plus their spouses and her grandchildren. HELLO! One cousin actually had the nerve to add his young children's names to the response card, but luckily my mother nipped that in the bud.
We're not made of money. If we had added another 50 people to the guest list, we'd still be paying for the wedding. I am grateful my parents were supportive and backed our decisions 100 percent. As a result, I had a very relaxing and enjoyable wedding day. Thanks again. -- Still Married in Ottawa, Canada
