Need to vent...

Need to vent...

Ok, As many of you know, I sent my invitations out on Friday, and had Pre-Cana this weekend.
Well, we went to my FH brothers house last night (he is also the best man)
We sat with him and his wife of 10 years and were hanging out.
Of course the topic of invitations came up since we had just sent them out. So I say 'keep your eye on the mail, you should be getting yours any day now'
and as casually as you could imagine they say 'oh, we already got it Saturday.'
Now, don't you think as his brother & best man and sister in law that they would have told us right away! Don't you think there should have been some kind of excitement!!!
Actually, I should have seen this coming! We showed them the invitations when we first got them and they had no response!! Not 'how nice for you', ' you must be excited ' Or anything! No sound came out of their mouths!!!!
How rude that was but I let it go! Now that they got them I am mad all over again!!!
They never ask us about the wedding plans or anything! When we are with them it's like we aren't even getting married. Well, it's a big deal to me. I waited 9 years for my FH to propose!
Thanks for letting me vent. I know it's long.

I wouldn't worry...you just have to remember you are living and breathing wedding planning and not everyone is...

my mother didn't tell me she got hers either - not b/c she is not excited, but b/c its not the first thing on her mind...

I agree ... people just aren't as excited about this stuff as we are. Some people don't even like weddings.

Thats why having a few engaged friends in your corner is so great - they really 'get' whats fun and crazy about this whole process.

Just post your invites - we will all ooooh and ahhh over them. We understand:)

Thanks guys!
I don't have any friends that are engaged.
I still think the lack of response of any kind to showing them the invite is strange!
I will not be sharing anything else with them, thats for sure.
I guess I am looking for a reaction from them because my parents are both deceased and I don't have much family.
I'll try to post but I have never done it.
Thanks again.

I am sorry that nobody is sharing your wedding joy! I can relate to that. Nobody in my family is excited about my wedding plans either. (Which is why I am always on this board!). I am happy for you! Feel free to keep sharing your exciting news with us, we understand!

Don't worry sweetie, not everyone is as excited as we are They have lost the excitement they have been married a long time now. Don't take it personally sweetie. I have not even gotten a congratulations from my MIL or Sils yet.

All will be well

Take care and happy planning and try not to let it worry you too much

I tried to get it to look right but it doesn't.
The background is cream and the swirl design on the side is pearl. The lettering is taupe.
Thanks everyone!
