more STD drama

I have to say I was so excited about getting my std's in the mail, I ran to my computer and started printing out labels. I've been on FH to get addresses we are missing so that we can mail these out - our wedding is only 6 months away... get on it please.

Anyway, so I just started with what I had, which was significant - most of it. I accidentally spelled his uncle's name wrong (so that one isn't getting reprinted until the next batch) and he went a little nuts about how we don't even have all the addresses yet and that he promised his mother we'd show her the guest list to get her input.

So I told him, these are just STD's not invitations. I only ordered 60 STD's. I told him I'm not even getting my own parent's input and they are actually giving us some money for the wedding. Am I wrong? I have like no time in my life right now with 2 jobs (one that I'm miserable at) and planning a wedding (if I waited for him we'd have a date with no vendors or guests b/c his wheels turn so slow - granted I live in overdrive so someone has to calm me down) and I don't feel I have to answer to his mother. I have not heard of any financial contribution on his families part so if I'm not asking my parent's for the final guest list yet, then I think he needs to shut up I asked his mother for a friend of her's address. I only asked my p's for a few addresses for this. This is the A list and out of towners that are getting these. No co-workers or in-law's in-laws (yes you heard that right).

I told my parent's they need to get the addresses together.

Is it wrong to start sending out the STD's that are finished, and send the rest early next week?

I don't think its wrong at all. You and your fh sound just like us... fh likes to procrastinate and thinks we have all the time in the world and I am on overdrive wanting to get everything done now.
Anyway...like you said, its really just the A list people that are getting them, so theres no need for a finalized guestlist yet. Thast how we did it with our STDs...just sent to the REALLY important people and everyone else will get an invitation when the time comes.

Re: more STD drama

About a third of mine went out Monday, the rest are going out today. Unless you have relatives who might talk that one got it one day and another didn't get it for a few more days. It's amazing what people will gossip about. OTOH, if it's only a couple of days, you can always blame it on the mail.

Nope that is exactly what i did with invitations...I had asked everyone for addresses TWO MONTHS!!!! ahead of time before i even got them lol...The invitations come and all the problems occured, so took longer to send them out than expected. I finally finished them all and had to send them out ASAP...I was missing about 15 addresses, so i asked for them, since they took so long i said sorry i am sending out the rest, i cant send out things late to 150 people, id rather just a small amount get them late. I am soooo glad i didnt wait, becaused i sent out invitations last week, and i just got addresses NOW and had to send out this morning actually.

The way i see it, its not your problem...If these people are SOOO important and they must get an invite or STD then wouldn't you make sure to get their addresses.

I DONT GET IT!!!! do people sit there and think oh wait maybe somehow the address will miraculously appear...Do what you have to do, and send them out.

I'm with you... like we have nothing else to deal with in planning our weddings. Not to mention demanding jobs, and all of life's craziness. Now I have to chase people down for addresses? Hey, if they want those people, here's the magnets, here's the envelopes - let them do it... I have to move past the STD's and focus on getting a DJ, photographer, florist, etc. for a wedding that is 6 months away. I even emailed my dad for the addresses he needs to get me - I STILL don't have them!! So the completed one's are going out on Monday, the rest will get them not only when I get the addresses, but when I have a moment to spare to sit down and deal with them again and Monday I have a florist appt and Tuesday and Thursday I work my second job, so I hope my father, FH, and FMIL can wiggle their noses and make the magnets get sent to their peeps. I officially DON'T CARE!!!

Sorry, Bridezilla moment
